    I thought this was going to be about that one dog I saw that one time who I thought a perfect name for would be Bosch.

    I saw that earlier and forwarded to D2. She said, "I know it’s early still, but I’ve been reading other long haulers say they’ve improved too. Not back to baseline, but better. "

    @axtremus said in Four banks, four weeks...: @mik said in Four banks, four weeks...: And are a big factor in this sort of crap happening. What sort of crap? The other media outlets not reporting certain stories is not making National File publish crap articles. This “news” reported by National File is so far devoid of due diligence and devoid of fact checking. You think a fairly decent size internet business being turned down by multiple banks is a crap story? Lemmee see...Seems to me that banks are in the business to make money, so if a business comes to you, especially a business with a high growth potential, and the bank won't do business with them, you think political red-lining is a crap story? Dude, put the crack pipe down and lay off of the China Girl, because you're out of your rabid arse mind.

    When we were in Amsterdam almost 4 years ago we rode the trams all the time. My son wanted to make a point to ride each of their 15 or so lines. Toward the end of our stay he and I made a superfluous trip around the city just to hit the last couple of lines that we hadn’t had occasion to take. #8yearolds

    They were quite useful when they were dropped in the same drop zone as the paratroopers. No use behind German lines such as occurred during Market Garden in '44.

    @rich said in 2.9MM shots today: Does this represent people who have had both doses, or just one? I think the graph is shots per day, not accounting for people.

    @george-k said in Well, this is interesting...: Yeah, update? Normal sinus rhythm. Still running some low grade temps. She's still snoozing this morning, although she wants to play for church, dragging her wound vac with her. Her cardiologist said he thought she could take the second shot, if she had rescue meds on hand. I'd like to remind him the reason he became her cardiologist, was because of severe chest pain due to a reaction to Imitrex...The wife has some oddball reaction to medications...Toradol taken at home post rotator cuff surgery landed her in the ED with a severe reaction. She's had COVID. She's had one shot. She and her sister both reacted violently to the first vaccination. I don't think either will take the second.

    One thing- definitely read lots of reviews on any all inclusive resort to get info on the free activities. We barely used any because of the age of my son, so I can’t really comment. But I can imagine them being limited in capacity and it being hard to sign up for the coolest activities before they fill up for the day or week.

    @aqua-letifer said in "POLICE SQUAD!" (In Color): Holy hell. Just... find it. My two favorite scenes: The chimpanzee going nuts in the freeze frame at the end of one episode. The tall detective whose head is outside of the frame that has "something on the corner of his mouth".

    @jon-nyc I am still waiting to qualify in Oregon. My wife has had it (teacher) and my middle has had it (she just signed up at a pharmacy signing something attesting that she was eligible and then noted she was dealing with the public every day at her job, which was true).

    @axtremus said in Interesting metric for how the GOP has changed over time: @kincaid said in Interesting metric for how the GOP has changed over time: He was the driving force behind the blue print for Obamacare, getting Romneycare or whatever it was, going in his state. Then he had to turn around and say "Obamacare bad" when he competed in the 2012 Republican primary because by that time the GOP base's mantra was to repeal Obamacare. That he did.

    @taiwan_girl said in Fraud: @jolly said in Fraud: @taiwan_girl said in Fraud: So, if fraud is on both sides, dont they kind of cancel each other out and the end result is if there was not fraud at all? :man-shrugging: How much fraud is there on both sides? I want you to point that out to me. The logic tree goes like this: Is there fraud? If so, how much? Where dies it primarily occur? Who benefits the most? How do we eliminate fraud? I dont know that answer, but human nature being human nature, the logic answer would be that both sides commit it equally. LOL I agree that there is some fraud that occurs, but my opinion is that it is a super small amount and the "net" result for one side or the other is almost zero. I do agree that there should be no fraud however. In other words, you don't have a single damn idea, LOL.
