It could have been the difference between being ill and being dead.

 

 

Mutations of the virus and genetic predisposition are factors to consider.

And that's the only good thing you can say about it. So far it's junk and hasn't lived up to the hype, very disappointing because of how it was pitched in the beginning. It's also the most dangerous vaccine ever produced. I won't be a cheerleader for big pharm, neither should anyone really, not when Pfiser is guilty of human rights violations.

I hardly have time to wipe my own butt these days, how goes it?

The critters are all getting along for the most part.

Right pic did look like there was a "leak" but then I realized that it's a shadow.

Oh he's had a leak or two

Can you post a link for that?

And just like that, it disappeared itself. This exactly why Journalists, even left leaning ones, are getting pretty pissed off that they can't do their jobs anymore. Censorship sucks.

October 5th is the take home date?

 

I think it's good to have a name or three in mind, but don't name until you bring them home and have been around them for a few days.

 

Let their personality steer you towards a name.

Yes, it'll be Tuesday evening, the breeder's husband will meet us at the airport like he did with Ellie.

We had a few names in mind with Ellie before she arrived, pretty sure Ellie wasn't one of them. We gave it a couple days with her before we settled on it.

Gizmo...

Can't do gizmo, my wife had a dog named that growing up

Oct.5th

Boy

Fluffy coat Corgi

Oh shit:lol:

Apparently he's pretty mellow, should get along Ellie and Miles

Need names, we're arguing over Leo or Sam

could have gotten it in the meantime. either way, sorry to hear

 

Is your daughter going to quarantine or go for testing?

No, she isn't consider exposed and doesn't need to, according to the school, the girl with covid is also in her class, and she does need to quarantine. Not sure for how long though.

The master bathroom will get new tile and countertops, fixtures, going to paint and reface the cabinets. Want to install a fan vent light combo where the existing light by the shower is now. Right now it's over her sink which is a weird place for it.

Other than that probably the biggest thing we're going to do is remove the existing walk-in shower and glass doors and replace it with a tiled floor to Ceiling shower, there's even room to bring it out a few inches. Wife likes the glass doors that open like a normal door. Wants to ditch the slider doors because the mildew in the tracks is hard to clean and looks like crap when it builds up

My 70' tall Tulip Poplar Tree got struck by lightning in my backyard the other day, nuked my router and APs, 65" TV and work computer, along with a couple outlets. TV and the more expensive router were thankfully covered under warranty. Biggest expense will be having the tree cut down and removed. I didn't have a UPS system, just power strips. Probably will invest in a UPS as this has been a headache.

 

 

The real burning question here is, did you promptly make a standard regulation Baseball bat out of the wood from the lightning struck tree? And, did you name it Wonderboy?

According to news here the best effect against the delta variant is if you have had the original variant and then the two vaccine doses.

 

 

And most of the people ending up in ICU here are the unvaccinated.

Probably something to this, there is similar data for the J&J vaccine showing the benefit.

Agreed.

Tyranny is a bit strong, but it's certainly not good. I guess I'd say welcome to government driven by the extreme left. Biden basically does what they want. If a private company wants to enforce rules, that's their business. The government should not be strong arming private companies so that they do things the government wants, but lacks the will/ability to do on it's own.

 

My thought is that companies should encourage vaccination, and perhaps have policies to monitor those who don't (frequent routine testing, etc.) or even incentives for those that do, but a mandate in most cases is not the way to go. I do feel there are exceptions, such as healthcare workers, caretakers for elderly or other medically fragile people, and things along those lines, though - the exposure conditions there warrant mandating vaccination, in my opinion.

We all have the same rights regardless of profession. Ostracizing people based on profession is already causing serious problems. For example, in Pierce County, WA, 70% of Fire fighters and emergency personnel are not vaccinated and will not get it. Many of them were protesting at the capital yesterday. Bottom line is, if they fire these people because of the mandate, stations will have to close. Hospitals and Law enforcement personal....same problem. Many rural school districts will not have enough teachers and will also have to shut down. If they continue to push this mandate we are going to have major problems come October (the deadline for getting vaccinated)

I have two LEO friends that both have already had Covid and have natural immunity, they should be exempt from the mandate. Not even the Mayo clinic can provide a solid reason for why people with antibodies should get vaccinated other than it's probably a good idea, that's a pretty gray area answer and not nearly convincing enough. Both will absolutely not get the vaccine even if it means moving on.

The best way forward is to educate and provide incentives for getting vaccinated, not to threaten people's careers and livelihoods. They're going about it the wrong way and now we have a serious threat to our core emergency services on the horizon.

Out of curiosity which vaccine did he get administered?

Pfizer, same as my 14 year old son (the others haven't been approved yet for ages 12 and over). I choose Moderna myself because early data suggests it's a little stronger against the Delta strain.

My cousin's 15 yro nephew now has permanent heart damage as a result of getting vaccinated. The vaccine caused swelling around his heart so badly that now he has permanent tissue damage. The vaccine makers have complete immunity from being sued until 2023 so he has no legal recourse for being screwed up for life.

But really, so what, not only should we mandate it but we should start kicking people's doors down, hold them at gun point and just shove that needle right in. Or we could just nail their doors shut and let them starve to death. But naw, they're sticking to passive aggressive BS like allowing employers to fire you if you don't get vaccinated or allowing employers to not hire you based on your private medical history. This is all completely American of course, just coincides right along with our Bill of Rights. Of course none of it is pure evil... naw.

In WA, they can deny you unemployment if the reason you got fired was refusing the vaccine, thus denying you the ability to feed your family.

It should be a choice. This is what tyranny looks like.

Mandate people, how far are you really willing to go?

3 extremely short videos were released on Bethesda's Starfield with Commentary on these locales. I can't wait for Nov 2022

WTF! If that’s true how much can this virus mutate? It’s scary for sure.

Probably as much as the Spanish Flu. What I'm getting from that study, and other experts on Lambda is that they're worried but not terribly worried only because Delta is so much more dominate than Lambda. Delta is far more contagious

There have been some confirmed cases of the Lambda variant in Texas but it hasn't been widespread, let's hope it stays that way
