Well... today sucked. Not as bad as the thousands who are currently underwater in the biggest floods in the last 80 years but still sucked And after several hours of digging, draining , shoring and blue metal....  Front drain blocked, water under house, pier undermined.

That probably looks like ungrateful bitching, it's not intended that way... I just want to be done and move on.

My momma got her first shot. She gets her second one April 4th. Really glad that she got the shot, I've been worried about her. Sorry to hear about your home troubles. It seems like you're on top of it though. When I was a kid my parents would leave me at our church on weekends when I was out of town because it was within walking distance of my house so I'd just go there as like a day care. Anyways, whenever I would complain about something the nun that took care of me, Sister Pilar, would tell me to consider what someone without legs would think about the complaint. That always pissed me off back then, but as an adult it's oddly comforting and puts things in perspective a lot of the time haha. If you think about it, we are actually lucky to be able to work on our houses haha.

I will definitely be in the last group to be vaccinated, no underlying conditions or anything like that. What I don’t understand is why people are getting vaccinated and then saying “oh good now I can go visit my grandparents!” I thought that this vaccine reduced symptoms but does nothing against contracting the virus or spreading it to other people. Am I wrong here? Aren’t you just as likely to be able to contract it and spread it to your grandparents as you would be without the vaccine? The main factor would be that your grandparents get the vaccine so that their symptoms are reduced?

End of day 1.5. forgot to post it last night because fell asleep. Rail company sent us one post that is shorter than the others. I checked the drawings and they're correct, so this is on them. Can't finish the railing or even install handrail, so looks like we might die this week. Going to finish as much as we can today, but this was the hard part.

I just remember a couple months ago everyone (including “the news”) was acting like it would make you immune but none of the actual research or data coming from reliable sources could confirm that, only that it could reduce symptoms. I know that researching wether or not it could reduce transmission would take a lot more time.

You think water clogs up the drains, wait until you have 15m of cane toads in the local river. And for christs sake, get vaccinated. No corners were cut, the same number of people as any other vaccine were in the trial, that just had unlimited money and didn't wait between stages. We are God damned lucky that science had been prepping for this for years and could pounce immediately. gently caress, the pfizer vaccine was entering stage 1 trials in early March of 2020. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Mar 21, 2021 |

As that includes being obese with the qualification of having a BMI of 30+ I’m eligible. The reality is also that they aren’t checking super hard so it’s closer to getting a weed card. All my in-laws in Sacramento are vaccinated now (since their either elderly, caretakers, a line cook or work in hospital IT) so it will be nice to finally hang out together and not risk them getting infected

Honestly I am not getting the shot for myself but for my kids. But I didn’t even think of it til after I confirmed my appointment but I need to travel for some business soon and to Japan once they open back up, and I’ll probably need a vax record anyways. So lunchtime tomorrow I’ll have my first dose up in me.

Wash your hands, keep the site clean, make sure they wipe the area with alcohol before stabbing and you'll be fine. I'm way more susceptible to stuff like this than nearly anyone else.

Trip report: Johnson & Johnson shot had me wake up in the middle of the night about 12 hours after the shot shivering like a mad man from really bad chills. I was pretty miserable from like 3AM til 8ish this morning, but I’m feeling a lot better already. A small price to pay in my opinion.

We're supposed to be getting a cicada invasion in MD too. A few years ago some cicadas of a brood got confused somehow and started emerging early the house we lived in at the time had brick walls the little buggers left their shells clipped all over the brick. You can cook and eat them! The last big brood we had here some restaurants down town were experimenting with that.

Yeah IIRC those numbers are "we don't have good data yet so just keep taking the same precautions" just like the thing about remaining masked after vaccination was, and that's slowly being rolled back now that data is leaning towards masks not being necessary for vaccinated people in groups. I pretty much expected that, it's just cautious, data driven public health decisions.

I follow a doctor on Twitter that's working on one of the vaccines directly and she was saying that vaccinated people don't spread it. They didn't have enough time data since obviously it's directly related to how long people have been vaccinated. She is now cautiously saying that vaccinated people don't spread it.Elmnt80 posted:I imagine part of it is also "Hey, keep wearing your mask so dipshits who don't want to want to wear theirs don't use you as a reason to not wear theirs." Also this, even after I get poked still going to wear a mask until we are in a better place. The Better Times.

Modus Man posted:The main factor would be that your grandparents get the vaccine so that their symptoms are reduced? Yeah, I think most people talking about visiting grandparents are implying the elderly got it first. I know that's true in my case. And the early reports are now saying that being vaccinated almost 100% prevents death, that's basically good enough for most people. I'm 2 weeks in to my first dose and I already feel 1000x more comfortable in any situation outside my house. They're saying even that makes you very safe, like 92% or something. The best part is no longer arguing with people. Everyone has a loving opinion about this poo poo but now that I'm vaccinated I'm over it.

I’m just about last in line to get my shot in Minnesota and it can’t come soon enough. My staff have almost unlimited sick time, but one of them came into work anyway when he was feeling under the weather and didn’t tell me that he had been sick for three days. I heard about it from his coworker who called me to rat him out, and I told him to go home and stay there until he had a Covid test. I’m stuck at home for the next ten days and praying that I don’t get Covid.
