Pelosi Galore wants crew-served weapons. At least in Washington. Ain't nuthin' like a Ma Deuce chugging along...That 750 grain bullet will make a red mist out of whoever it touches, along with five or six critters behind the target. You'll be able to go out afterwards and pick up pieces of arms, legs, and skull fragments. Nothing says power, like human offal in the streets. By God, that'll show 'em!

Amen.

I think he will chafe at the labyrinth of limitations he will face as mayor.

@george-k said in What's in the omnibus "relief bill?": @doctor-phibes said in What's in the omnibus "relief bill?": Assholes. Somewhere I read that each person who gets $1400 ends up owing $5700 (by adding to the national debt). Hypothetically, a non-US citizen who left the country when he or she retired wouldn't owe a brass farthing.

Wow. Great job. Apply pressure to the laggard states!

I just got #2. The nurse told me that they are only doing patients who are in the Northwestern system. They book another 2K per day.

Ours open up the Friday before the Wednesday of the “clinic, at 3pm. So you have to have your browser open and keep clicking refresh until you can sign up. And they go fast. (They use the local events ticketing software for concerts and stuff)

A friend of my brother had a heart condition (I think AFib?) detected by his Apple Watch. He got an alert, so he went to the doctor's the next day, and was taken straight to Emergency. He said it was the best 300GBP he'd ever spent. It's actually made me wonder about upgrading from my old Fitbit.

Moderna Lisa.

@andyd said in Meanwhile, down on The Border: Perhaps the Mexicans just feel they want their land back Good idea. Throw out the Spaniards and let the native Indians have the whole peninsula!

Holy cow. That's worth a thousand words, and they're all screaming to never ever do that again.

@jolly That’s a good idea.

@Optimistic I'm similar to you. We are visiting my parents-in-law in MN starting Saturday, so I'm somewhat cautious until after we arrive, even though they are (just recently) vaccinated too. That being said, I'm pretty confident (and the warm weather hitting the east coast this week I think will make lots of folks extra confident!) and am mainly in a weird spot of knowing I have the vaccine but knowing most around me don't yet have it so I continue to wear the mask and keep a distance. Like I said in my other thread...combine vaccinations and dropping rates and (most viscerally) warm weather, by June folks will think of COVID as mostly a thing of the past.

@Doctor-Phibes beat me to the stats, 78% hospitalization is only slightly higher than the whole. However, as @George-K has pointed out in the past, this is a vascular disease which would be the hardest on overweight people with vascular issues and diabetics. That’s what we saw. There are aberrations, but that’s to be expected.
