That’s interesting, because many people I know, including me, had pretty significant side effects from the Pfizer vaccine. I’m not complaining, it was absolutely worth it and I’ll get my booster as soon as its available, and my kids will get their shots as soon as they are eligible.

That last bit is certainly true. The criticism should be pointed at the misinformation and those who spread it and our collective failure to educate people against misinformation, not the suckers who fall for it. That American belief in individualism is insidious and gets even those of us who believe in a social…
You’re ignoring that the people touting the alternative treatments on media and social media are the same ones spreading anti-vaccine rhetoric. The Venn diagram is not a complete circle but the audiences hooked up to those sewer pipes are basically the same.
If you’re dumb enough to skip over the vaccine to take this stuff, I have an even more effective treatment for you:
“I’m sure this article won’t be a slideshow.”
Also, if the item is too large, too small, too light, etc. The size/weight/specs are nearly always available to the consumer before purchasing. It’s on you on to read them!
We had an Eastern Phoebe couple make a nest above our back door last summer. In June we had a couple of goofy fledglings around, including this guy who spent the day hanging out on our compost bin.
A couple of months ago I saw this little(ish) bird, and initially I thought it was a fledgling robin. But when I got closer, I could see it was clearly some kind of raptor. It’s a young kestrel, North America’s smallest falcon. I didn’t even know we had falcons in this area, but it was neat to see this one.
You’ve never worked as a server or a bartender have you? No one reports 100% of their tips. Every restaurant owner I’ve worked for always took a C note out every night. Unless someone gets greedy and really stupid and claims no tips the IRS doesn’t bother. If billionaires can get away with no taxes why bother someone…
Radiolab had an interesting episode in March 2021 that discussed the case of an immunocompromised person (lymphoma + medication that in the UK who was unable to clear COVID-19 from his system over the course of 102 days. They sequenced the virus in him 23 times over those 102 days and saw mutations in the virus that…
Congrats should be on the list of things not to say. Not everyone that’s pregnant wants to be.
FDA approval can’t come fast enough.
At this point, if they don’t want it. They can pay for the full medical cost of hospitalization, so they don’t have to take a handout from the government
Meh, with the way you have cr*pped on people all over lifehacker I’m not sure you ever had the depth of character to want to express emotions that aren’t cartoonishly judgmental and privileged.
You must have dislocated your shoulder, reaching like that.
I wish we had fall here. Summer has gotten extended in my part of California such that it’s 90 degrees until it does a sudden nosedive to 60 in mid-November. Makes it really difficult to plant fall crops because the sun is still way too harsh for my cool-season plants until winter’s basically started. Then again, our…
Generally, pesticide spraying people don’t much care about their neighbors. If they don’t care about the environment, why would they care about you? And I can pretty much guarantee that any “conversation” you might want to have with someone about their spraying is probably not going to end on a friendly note. You’ll…
