    Seems very reasonable that there should be recognition for years of service and the pension value that an employee would be walking on in the offer. 

    Exactly. And there isn't. If I quit today I'd get 17% of my pay in 20 years.  If I stay on and go to 60 I would get 40% of my future salary which would include a bunch of COLA increases and potentially a grade increase or two.  When it's all said and done my pension would be 20% of what it would be if I just stay. 

     

    And that's not figuring in health insurance, and giving that up would be a bad move too.  

     

    So basically this isn't an offer. If I were 60+ and were retiring this year anyway I might take it, but as other posters have said there is no guarantee they will actually deliver the token bullshit they are promising.

    Fuck the Georgia bitches barking like seals in the stands. Trashiest away fans since LSU

    As a Georgia Tech fan this is how they are.  They are a stain on the state of Georgia.  

     

    I hope they left town without killing anyone on the drive to the airport.

    Yes it is.

    Batch 1 or 2?

    Batch 2.  I've heard great things and I can't wait to try it myself.

     

    My liquor store buddy also said a 14 year should be released very soon.

    I live in Georgia and joined Wild Fork so I would have a consistent supply of dino ribs, but lately it has been hard finding consistent prime grade briskets here.  How many briskets have you ordered from Wild fork and has the quality and size been consistent?  Have you only tried their choice or have you tried the prime as well?

    A lot of my work calls today were with people(or their friends and family)who have tested positive in the last week.  Surge going on for sure.  I was getting Delta type vibes from the amount of people telling me about their COVID situation. Haven’t talked this much about it in quite a while.  Good news is I haven’t heard of anyone having very serious symptoms.  

    Ugh you activated my PTSD with the Delta vibes.  We are a long way from that and hopefully we never go back there again.

    Lots of cool stuff out there.  We've been making it work for 12 years.  We've got our system down.  In 10 years we'll be Mexicans.  We're just gonna keep on keeping on with what we know.

    UAF has a cold climate housing research center you might be interested in.

    Thanks.  I want to reiterate what others have said.  This is one of the most interesting and informative threads on the board.  Thanks for the contribution and keep it up!  You should start a YouTube Vlog and retire 5 years earlier with your patreon money.

    God damnit stopping talking in code.  Where did they shit the bed?

    Sorry for the cancer website but it does a good job laying out the problems.

    The huge advantage the big pharma companies have is vertical integration.  Just look what Pfizer has pulled off with Paxlovid. There are only a couple of companies in the world that could have pulled that off and started manufacturing at scale as fast as they did.

    There were issues that held them up and it had nothing to do with not partnering with a large pharma.

    Their main issues are supply line driven.  As much shit as big pharma gets, one thing they do incredibly well is securing supply lines.  WIth their tremendous resources you can rest assured that they are going to outcompete root beer manufacturers for supplies.

    Appears that they would have provided a competitive alternative for certain segments of the population. No "gene therapy" rhetoric nonsense to worry about, a relatively well established technology, etc. But the adjuvants drive some of real pre-COVID anti-vaxxers absolutely nuts, so who knows. 

    Unfortunately I know people who are holding out for this vaccine for that exact reason.  It would have been helpful to have another option using technology that has been used for decades in other established vaccines.

    Novavax's vaccine is a protein subunit vaccine, basically delivers the spike directly unlike the mRNA and vector technologies that deliver the genetic material that codes for the spike.

     

     

    Will these dickheads ever come to market?  If they had swallowed their pride and partnered with a large pharmaceutical company like BioNTech did they would be swimming in $100 bills right now.
