  1. My local hospital is finally below 100% capacity for the first time since July. The ICU is still 100% full of unvaccinated COVID patients. I’m personally not all the worried about catching another breakthrough case and having it go bad, but I am a bit concerned about receiving sufficient medical care for my family in the event of some other medical emergency. I’d also prefer the person caring for me or my family to not have the stress of a constant 2-year crisis, one that is now preventable. That seems bad for all of us. I don’t worry about drunk drivers getting me drunk; I worry about them crashing into me.
  2. Petition to change the thread title to: man finds himself after night of heavy drinking.
  3. With the very non-American "jabs" rather than "shots" entering the anti-vaccine lexicon, that's just another bit of evidence that this whole movement is being spurred on by foreign actors.

  4. We should punt more often
  5. I think most of us have a pretty good idea of what the Catholic Church will let priests get away with.
  6. Ethos is Greek, so ethi would be a false latinization (same as octopi). Greek plurals would be ethe or ethea. Tell me you don’t roll coal without telling me you don’t roll coal.
  7. Obviously drivers shouldn’t endanger others on the road and at least from the article, the kid deserves some consequences. But cyclist vs. aggressive diesel pickup truck is a conflict between probably the two biggest menaces on the road. Whenever there’s a dangerous situation, there’s a good chance at least one of the two are involved.
  8. That “mushroom where it happened” line is pretty clever.
  9. One of my colleagues will work a sample problem on the board right before a test (and leave it up on the whiteboard), give out the test with the same sample problem (still up on the board), and then laugh at all the students who miss it.
  10. I’m genuinely surprised that he didn’t label both.
  11. Those described by Jesus in Matthew 23?

    Focusness people.
  13. I’m having similar problems.
  14. Before I had my breakthrough case, I thought loss of smell with COVID just meant how you lose your sense of smell and taste when you're really congested -- normal stuff. When I had COVID, I had pretty much zero nasal congestion but couldn't smell or taste a thing. It was the weirdest experience.

    A few more of mine: Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, Schubert Winterreise - this is an amazing recording; at one point, I spent months exclusively listening to this and it still blows my mind Ornette Coleman, The Shape of Jazz To Come - that first wail/solo is ecstatic in a way I’ve never heard before or since Paul Simon, Graceland - that Bakithi Kumalo bass sound Dave Douglas Quintet, Be Still
  16. Pfizer #2 in early April and the whole family tested positive for COVID in late July. I had a few days where I got winded easily, had post nasal drip, loss of smell, and maybe a few hours of fever.
  17. It’s dumb and dangerous, but at least it’s somewhat logically coherent and consistent, unlike a Manny Diaz led defense.
  18. Big Shot Rob.
  19. I read 12 kids and was bracing myself for a Shawn Kemp obit.
  20. Just install a switch or knob in the hole and call it a feature. I’m sure you can find a scrap guitar on Facebook marketplace.

  22. Since we’re talking biblical vengeance, there’s a good NT one in Acts 5. Fraud had its consequences.
  23. Honestly, whatever it takes. Get the shot out of spite or to stop some insane imagined liberal ploy; just get the shot.
