Pineberries are similar to strawberries.

There was a study just out showing an unvaccinated person who had covid is over twice as likely to to become reinfected vs a vaccinated individual: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html

While booze is a factor, it isn’t THE factor. Airlines have been making flying an ever more miserable experience for everyone involved (passengers, crew, etc.). All the little things they have done have hit a tipping point.

Out of curiosity, how much of the continuing education requirements are general medical education vs specialty specific education?

For a lot of doctors, they maybe had one class that touched on virology and immunology 20+ years ago and then never gave it a second thought after memorizing just enough to pass the class/required tests. In the years since they have focused on their specialty and never done any continuing education that touches on…

If one of my girls sees or hears you at the fridge she will just appear. If she’s out swimming and catches a glimpse of you heading to the fridge she will fly out of the pool, run across the deck, slip through the duck door, and be there looking up at you before you can finish opening the refrigerator door.

Vaccinating against Covid was never going to be a one-and-done. Yearly boosters are going to be a thing for the foreseeable future.

This isn’t necessarily Lorne keeping people on for longer as a new normal for the show; he is just trying to keep a few key players around for the 50th anniversary season. He knows 50 years is a big deal and is already planning ahead. There are already rumors of trying to bring in as many famous SNL alum as possible…

What makes this a bit confusing for people is that “Immunity” is used as a catch-all for both Neutralization of the virus (i.e. not getting infected) and Prevention of severe infection (which can lead to hospitalization or death). This has been an area where messaging has really fallen short and many writers just…

Pfizer is slated to do clinical studies this month of a booster based on the full Delta spike. That should prove useful against VoC on the horizon like Kappa.

For me juice is mostly an ingredient at this point. Occasionally I’ll grab some if I’m out and about and the only alternative is something like Starbucks. I’m also avoiding fountain machines so if they don’t have a bottled diet soda I’ll grab a juice or a non-Nestle water.

The vaccines are still good vaccines. Get yourself vaccinated. Get those you love vaccinated. Get those you’re “meh” on vaccinated. Hell, get those you loathe vaccinated. Anyone who can get the vaccine needs to get the vaccine.

If it was an original “kid doctor” show it would get compared to Doogie anyway. Might as well use the existing IP for the initial marketing boost and hope the show holds up on its own.

The thing is the airlines have not been putting the customer first for a very long time. They have been slowly making flying more and more miserable for everyone involved from passengers to crew to airport staff.

Yes you can cook it like a pudding. Doing so may be a bit involve for a drunk (or sober) Lillian.

I just snort instant coffee off a hooker’s ass like a civilized adult.

The movie did as well as a film is going to do in 2020-part 2.

Masks are going to become a way of life for the foreseeable future. Vaccines are going to help keep the healthcare system from collapsing, but the virus is already showing it is able to mutate faster than vaccines (mostly due to regulations, logistics, and politics) can keep up. Coupled with the willingly pathogenic,…

For many grocery stores, unless they are locally owned and operated, the store itself has little to no say in what they carry or how much of anything is ordered. It is all managed by just-in-time inventory software controlled at the corporate level. Often the local store can’t make requests or changes no matter how…

And yet, they didn’t, whether because it’s all a big joke or, equally likely, because they were getting paid well enough not to object.
