I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I guess not enough people have died in Texas recently for the Republican's blood god, and it demands further sacrifices.

So, I'm scheduled for my 1st covid shot Thursday. My husband is now eligible to get one, however it seems that everywhere in PA is booked solid. I had a dumb thought about asking the VA clinic if my spouse could get a shot provided they had any extra doses. Is this a dumb thing to ask?

Won't help for a few months, but Merck's own vaccine flamed out, so gently caress it, get them involved! DPA-prioritize getting them the equipment, grease the skids between the companies, and woohoo, more J&J vaccine, by Merck.

Reminds me of aircraft production in World War Two (and is probably because of the same DPA authority): "So Boeing, love the B-17 but we need more of them, get Douglas and Lockheed on the horn and figure out where to send them the right tools and jigs, kthxbye."

Pretty clear that these states have determined that the current plateau of our current level, equivalent to HOLY gently caress OUTBREAK summer numbers, means it's time to OPEN UP and cause another surge as vaccines come online.

Weird, red states normally don’t have any issue receiving blue state bailouts. They just don’t want to help pay.

Yea, I think it's something more embarrassing for them. Probably that the amount of government dole they'd need to be solvent would be big enough they'd need a specific "texas bailout" bill, which would be hilarious to me.

Supposedly it isn't even that much. Projection was $5B, ended up $1B, but they must've not liked the expected FY21 numbers.

But meanwhile, the timeline just shifted two months to the left:

My VA just moved to 60+ and is doing walk-ins for them so it seems like they’re mostly through the olds. Hopefully only a few more weeks until I can get stuck.

What the gently caress is this: grunt style for jackasses? Actually that’s redundant but gently caress it.

Pro tip: Sleep is important

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
Actually addressing sleep deprivation in the military would require treating service members time as something other than expendable. The military certainly won't do anything to fix it. "You know what you signed up for!"

Airdales are the only ones that get this consideration in the coast guard. The coast guard needs to adopt STCW safe practices aboard cutters and actually give a gently caress about logging sleep.
