Her show's hurtful to children. I used to force them to watch it when they misbehaved, with a warning that if they kept up this racket then mummy and daddy might well end up there arguing about which one had to take care of them.

@axtremus said in $4.05: @jolly said in $4.05: stacking rigs Not familiar with that expression, what does it mean? When drilling rigs (or platforms) are not being used, they are stored, hence the term stacking rigs.

The other question is this: If she needs more hard drive space, and/or a new battery, the expenditure would be about $150 for battery and 256GB drive. Add $70 for a 512GB drive, so about $220. The computer sells for about $300 on eBay. So, a brand new one, with better spec, etc is $900 ($600 after selling the old one). Is it worth upgrading it for $220? I think not.

@aqua-letifer said in Moderna ships SA variant specific modification to NIH: Where are they at with determining how the current vaccines prevent fatalities from the SA variant? It’s quite possible we will be getting various booster shots for a long time. The drop in cases and deaths suggests however the impact has been muted. Regardless the world is starting to open and nothing will stop that this time. The need for revenue by state governments and businesses alone will prevent that.

@jon-nyc said in Where can Americans travel right now?: I get that. Cruises are always quoted that way. Amtrak has an interesting way of pricing travel. You book the "basic fare" for each person. Basically, you're booking a coach fare. Say, two people from Chicago to New Orleans - about $150 each, for a total of $300. Then, they add the "accommodation charge" if you're booking a sleeper. For a bedroom that's about $300. Total price $600. Now, if I were traveling alone, I'd pay $150 basic fare and $300 for the bedroom - total $450.

We watched it. It had some good story lines - but the portrayal of the elder scientist/physician was annoying at times. I'd put in one star below The 100 which is another sci-fi themed show.

@klaus Haha. I still remember enough to analyze that by sight.

For some, It's an attitude, and for others, it's a lifestyle. And for a few, it's a calling. LOL, yes. Or even a shouting.

Either they were clowns or illegal immigrants. I'm guessing clowns.

idiots

I blame the Chinese

So Latino, Black and poor people aren't getting the vaccine. Here are the rules for California currently in Phase 1B: Based on available supply, individuals described below are or will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccines: Phase 1A* (healthcare workers and LTC residents): 3,142,166 Californians Phase 1B Food/Agriculture***, Education/Childcare**, and Emergency Services***: 5,960,528 Californians 65+: 6,254,300 Californians Beginning March 15, healthcare providers may use their clinical judgement to vaccinate individuals age 16-64 who are deemed to be at the very highest risk for morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 as a direct result of one or more of the severe health conditions included in this provider bulletin. I don't see anything about Latino, Black and poor people being eligible. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/VaccineAllocationGuidelines.aspx

In business in a publicly held company he would likely have been given one warning based on the first what could be interpreted as inappropriate behavior and then summarily fired on the second.

@george-k said in Superb masterclass by Schiff on a couple of the Schubert Impromptus: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/the_new_coffee_room/viewtopic.php?p=833600#p833600 @phlebas.... There are a few people who have been known to be absolutely awful to students in masterclasses - Schiff, Feltsman, etc. - who are downright nasty. Then there are those who ask the student questions like, "Why do you think Schumann chose this articulation for these measures," and the poor student has to guess what the teacher is thinking, and they're too much in awe to say "...'cause he thought it should be STACCATO MAYBE?? WHY ELSE???" Congrats on quoting an 11 year old post. Your memory still seems to work well. Sometimes.
