I’m white and American and my grandma taught me to wash the chicken. I stopped some time ago though. Unless it’s dirty. Sometimes if you buy chicken feet they’re still dirty and they need a careful (non-splashy) rinse.

Some of this you don’t have any options on if you’re financing. Closing dates can be dictated by your bank (mine was contingent on the house I was selling closing first, which was held up by my buyer’s bank...). Appraisal too was required and appraisers were so busy it delayed things.

Everyone 16 and older can get a booster shot!

Vaccinations seem to be less effective against omicron.  You can also still get long haul covid even if you are vaccinated.   Exposure risk still matters.

I am sorry to hear this, wishing you a speedy recovery and none of the long lasting effects.

There’s too many unknowns right now. It looks like vaccinations are a lot less effective against getting sick with omicron. mRNA vaccinations are likely to be more protective, particularly if boosted. They do seem to provide protection against getting very sick. There’s also some preliminary evidence that omicron is…

It goes way, way, way back several owners/changes in management. I remember when Jezebel comments were pink. It worked ok for a long while as a way to let editors and users feature comments they liked.

I really liked s2 of the Witcher.   I really just show up for cool monsters and Henry Cavill though, and I didn’t get a Geralt in the bathtub scene.

The signal will be swamped with holiday parties and travel.

I got my booster Friday. If it was a different time of year I might risk a matinee but with people going to parties again and kids being off school, I think it’s going to be both busy and virus-y.

No one is checking for vaccination at my local theaters.  I am not sure it will matter much at all though if omicron has the break through rates they are expecting.

enjoy the omicron, everyone!

Have you seen Family Guy? Some of the absurdity is native.

I can always use a new buddy anyway.

would love a spoiler discussion for the witcher s2

No fever happened but I thought it was great.

I suspect it’s not that bloggers themselves don’t care but that the Herb is not paying them for consistent posts, to moderate/grey/ungrey, or engage with the commenters.  I wouldn’t do shit I wasn’t being paid for either.

How did he get all the way to the plane?  He should have been stopped... or he wore a real mask all the way there and then switched over to make his pathetic statement?

I mean it’s a joke, I do not expect GQ to do actual journalism.
