12-15 year olds are currently getting it under the emergency use authorization. It’s likely that later this year they’ll be fully approved as well.

Yeah. I’ve heard September for 5-12, and then maybe 2022 for <5. It’s been delayed because the FDA required a doubling of the trial size so it’s not ready by the start of the school year. Which seems like a HUGE error in assessing the risk considering the alternative now is just infecting millions of kids. 

Priority should be getting the vax approved for 5-12 year olds and getting these booster doses into their arms.

Garden Gnomes, you say?

Definitely check out the Maverick. It’ll fit bikes much better (it even has slots in the bed to fit 2x4s for a diy bike mount) and has a hybrid base engine that’s a few thousand less than the Santa Cruz.

They really should have put the Ioniq 5 design team on it. And offered a hybrid option.

Sure, maybe. I guess they have ANC, but features aren’t really a factor in affordability.

Is it affordable? 

Sure, but in a world with tons of ear bud options in the <$100, <$50, and even <$30 segments, I don’t consider $150 to be in the “affordable” segment.

$150....affordable? 

This is the first foldable that actually seems interesting to me. Might think about it in a couple generations.

There are cup holders in a rear arm rest on the XLT and Lariat trims. 

I assume they would only take down the Sprint towers that are redundant with T-mobile towers to reduce costs. I’d expect the Sprint towers that expand/improve coverage would be converted to newer 4g/5g towers.

Grilling is great. We also do it directly on the embers of a campfire. Pull off a few of the loose outside leaves. Keep the silk. Lay on the embers and flip after a few minutes. Or if you have a big fire will a lot of embers, just bury the whole ear in glowing red embers. 

Understanding that a sauna is no replacement for exercise, I’d be interested in any research or evidence to health impacts of the increased heart rate during a sauna. When I do a sauna my Garmin will show my heartrate between 130-140bpm (my resting heart rate is about 50bpm), which is about what I register during…

Yeah, this seems like a big gamble that depends on the mortage rate staying low

Dang. No wonder it caught on so quickly. 

Yeah. Most places don’t have a severance. It really wasn’t that hard to bank the PTO because during most of my time with the org I got 4-5 weeks of PTO plus a couple floating holidays per year. Not saying everyone can or should bank 10 weeks. Just that no one should lose compensation.

Whoa, so if they define PTO as “unlimited” they can treat it as a “perk” rather than “compensation?”

Co-workers “frowning” on others taking their earned PTO is most certainly toxic, but I agree that it’s core to the “American” work culture (which, as you said, itself is pretty toxic), which is part of the reason the workers should be able to determine how and when they want to use their compensation.
