I watched it a couple days ago. It is a terrific show. You'll want to be in the mood for WW I trench warfare because that is what you will get. A little slice of hell in Europe.

@Jolly said in Red Wave Proof?: That's ok, Pelosi's hammer man was an illegal, IIRC... From Canada!!! We had better watch out for @John Doe!!

And fer chrissakes, get the beans out of the chili! You want beans, cook beans. I cooked a pot of red beans and sausage today.

That looks familiar! [image: 1667522143097-4c59e6d0-0b6e-41dd-9562-c7a158de1da6.jpeg]

@Mik said in It may take days...: Democracy certainly is in jeopardy. Only if the Democrats lose...because more people voted for the other guys. That's totes undemocratic.

@LuFins-Dad said in About a 20% paycut: But you just got a reduction on Medicare premiums… Use that And, thanks to President Biden, a Social Security bump! I'm rolling in the dough!

And transphobic.

If you like free booze vote for a democrat. It has been effective in the past, I expect it will continue, blue places love it.

@Mik said in 'Shrooms: He has sufficient cause. Yeah, if ever there were an ideal use case...

Too bad they didn't offer an unobtanium package, right @Aqua-Letifer

@Doctor-Phibes said in A Healthcare Problem: @Horace said in A Healthcare Problem: @Doctor-Phibes said in A Healthcare Problem: I honestly couldn’t give a shit. If he, she or they do a good job, I really don’t care what else they do in their spare time, or for that matter what religion or race they belong to. YMMV Imagine the number of people who would agree with that regarding lgbtqx doctors, but who would refuse to see trump supporting doctor. There would be millions of Americans who would self identify as being in that group. Two dumbs don’t make a smart I'm imagining the relative sizes of the two cohorts.

I'm sure the joyous union arrangement will last for years months a while.

I assume their political debates are mostly about trying to prove the other side is the bigger existential threat.

@LuFins-Dad said in Positive again: @89th said in Positive again: @George-K said in Positive again: After 5 vaccinations. I mean, the vaccinations aren't preventing someone from getting COVID, but they have helped massively in reducing sickness and death. Honestly, I wonder if I took a test every day (as I'm sure the CDC director and others probably do), I wonder if I would've tested positive. No, they haven’t. In your age range, 12 out of every 100,000 cases resulted in death in unvaccinated people. Now what do you think happens to those numbers when you take Diabetics out? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.11.22280963v1 Try finding the post vaccination numbers. It’s actually quite difficult. This is a deadly disease for the elderly and those with co-morbidities. Much less so for everybody else. Even with the vaccine, an elderly patient with the vaccines have much worse outcomes than unvaccinated youth. Numbers are hard to come by, aren't they? And VAERS borders on useless. I would love to see vaccine reactions/serious problems/deaths broken down by gender and age group. I'd also like to see some current hard numbers on mortality rates in the elderly of COVID+comorbidities vs. Flu+comorbidities.

Ziinnnggg!

@taiwan_girl said in Parkinson’s, 30 years on: Does Parkinson make your bones more easy to break, or is it just more falling because of balance? As far as I know, there's no correlation between the two - just falling, I assume. However, it's interesting that Fox broke bones at a relatively young age. Another thing is that Fox's movement disorder is not typical Parkinson's. Parkinson's usually manifests itself as skeletal muscle rigidity, where "getting going" is difficult. Getting out of a chair, and starting to walk can be a challenge. His movements are more characteristic of tardive dyskinesia - which is more typical as a side effect of various psychotropic drugs, though it can occur in Parkinson's. Another atypical thing is that Parkinson's patients frequently have "masked facies," - an expressionless appearance to their facial musculature. One of my neighbors has PD, and I could tell, on first meeting, that he had it. He never told me about it, and it was only after about 4 years that his wife mentioned it.
