  1. Those large silver inserts they throw on the tailgate of both models looks like shit. I wish they would make that an option for people that like that type of trash.

    I don’t know about the 21s, but I’ve had a 15 KR and 20 KR and neither had the chrome tailgate inserts and came that way the factory. If you don’t order the chrome package, you get a normal tailgate.

    Also don’t get the KR hate above.
  2. They have said they will demand at least $1bn (£720m) in compensation for the losses resulting from the blockage.
    In an interview with the privately-owned Sada el-Balad TV on Wednesday, SCA chairman Osama Rabie said that the Ever Given vessel would not leave the Great Bitter Lake, where it is currently being held, until the compensation was paid by the vessel's owner.


    Ouch

  3. Novavax was slower than Pfizer and Moderna to get their US-based investigational sites up and running (lots of earlier enrollees in their trials in the UK).  There is question about whether FDA would review solely their UK data for the EUA, and not the US/Mexico data.  Not sure if that's going to happen or not.  Novavax was also not quite as up to speed on the manufacturing end, either.  Every vaccine was manufactured at risk before EUAs were granted, but sounds like Novavax had some trouble getting regulatory approval for the North Carolina facility they wanted to use.
    Some are believing this is because the US government wanted Moderna and Pfizer out front (Moderna partnered with NIH and took Warp Speed cash; Pfizer didn't but has huge lobbying pull).
    From reading about the Novavax vaccine, it may provide the best combo of safety and efficacy, including all the variants.  Once production gets rolling, this may end up being the booster of choice for me.  But I need to see more.

    Novavax was also part of warp speed - took $1.6b in funding if I remember corrrectly...
  4. It's a very small volume injection.  I took allergy shots for years that increased in volume.  The ones at the end of the cycle blew up your arm on sheer volume, they were a syringe-full, a full cc, I think.  This one is like 0.1 cc.  
    Got my Moderna today.  Felt fine, but conked pretty hard on my 3PM Covid nap, which about half the time involves just reading no sleep, the rest of the time a half hour catnap.  I was out for an hour and a half.  My delt is a little sore I just noticed raising my arm.
    I did not shit myself on the way back from Alvarado.  I did not, however, chow on a Popeyes 8pc with chocolate sauce coming or going.

    Thanks for triggering my allergy shot PTSD
