That's new. In the past its been purely security theater.

Indeed, good movie.

Hang in there. It'll get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.

This is basically what our MIS girl at work did for my home pc. I managed to break it and it wouldn't boot off a flash drive, even after telling it to do that in bios. She had a boot CD and was able to get to to boot off that and then mostly unbreak what I messed up.

Wow, that was fast. Glad you're up and moving. Good luck with the recovery.

Was it in clear liquid form?

Similar thing happened to a friend except he hit the deer. The cop told him it's a lot less paperwork if you shoot it....

I wouldn't call the vaccines completely unknown. The various manufacturers have trialed their version on tens of thousands of people over the past 6 months or so. It appears the UK approved it before our FDA and they're administering it faster, so there's tens of thousands more. Just scanning through the data shows about 0.5% had allergic reactions.

Dad had an epidural both times. He was awake and annoying the surgeon with questions during the procedure. We told the surgeon he should wear a gopro on his head and mount a screen to the ceiling so people like dad can watch it live. The pain meds they inject during surgery will get you through day 1. Day 2 is when it really starts to hurt. Dad went home after 1 night both times. He's definitely the "tough guy" but it was clear that it really hurt the following few days. I agree to get off the opiates as soon as you can. I think dad was down to advil after about 5 days.

I should have suggested this. The one my dad used came from my sister, who had knee surgery years ago. She got it from one of her friends who bought it. Point being, ask around, you might find one you could borrow/rent/buy. This is the problem dad has. He quit the therapy and both knees have tightened back up considerably. I catch him still doing the "penguin waddle" walk sometimes. I ask if his knees hurt, he says no, and starts walking normally. The lack of flexibility is most obvious when he's on stairs.

Dad has had both of his done. I learned 3 things from his experience.... do the therapy, do the therapy, and don't ever stop doing the therapy. These things can be a little noisy, but they're great for keeping swelling down. https://www.amazon.com/Cryotherapy-Circulating-Personal-Universal-Inflammation/dp/B07G9K1J6K

I usually just tell them they're gonna have to rephrase that, preferably in English. And there's a 20-something guy here who does the like thing as well. I give him crap about it routinely. I'm a bit surprised you can get them to speak at all.

Vaccines don't prevent transmission, they prevent symptoms. The anti-vax crowd has proven that viruses once thought eradicated are still around. Of course there are millions of asymptomatic carriers of dozens of viruses, thats been true for decades.

I read this story a while back. Its all about risk vs. reward. I could never do this.... https://thehustle.co/how-i-made-13-million-cryptocurrency-ethereum/

Welcome!

Cases have risen so fear of impending lock down is back.

Trout is delicious. I'd be a lot more interested in fishing for them if the licenses weren't so complicated.

We had a sleeve of some sort for the bottles, I think it was a pig. Shadow shredded it in about 10 minutes.

Our dog loves empty water bottles, but he tears them up pretty fast so we have to take them away.

That's interesting. Antibodies last less than a year? Brings up all sorts of other questions. Did she elaborate at all?

It is indeed.

Not Flippin' Optional.

I wouldn't be surprised if the employers of those first responders consider the vaccine NFO.
