Thanks for sharing! Ended up listening to the whole thing, really great interview.

I am actually surprised they Booed their Orange God. I always subscribed to the policies and the words didn't matter, republican orthodox be damned, all that mattered was Trump and owning liberals.

Seemed weird, but the wife and I actually cancelled Netflix and renewed HBO max for another year. Just weren't watching Netflix as much. We have Amazon Prime and Hulu from other subscriptions, no cable, also Disney+. Seems like a rotation of streaming from here on. Disney+, though limited content keeps me engaged as there's been almost weekly Star Wars or Marvel content. Only so much content one can watch, seems like if you wait long enough shows rotate around the different vendors too.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I don't think she had sex with a body that her grandparents took over their minds. She only lured in the original body/mind, and then once they got taken over, she moved on to the next dude. It's been awhile though, so I could have that wrong.

Same.

Watched last night. It's a fun popcorn action movie, nothing more. Don't expect much and it's a fun ride. If you like Chris Pratt you'll enjoy I think. Not nearly as smart as Looper or Edge of Tomorrow. Other than the basic concept of being sent to the future, there is really no ah-ha or brain teaser. It's a very straightforward plot.

Unless there's big rebate dollars on it (Likely will be), I think most health plans will not have this on their formulary. Even with big rebates, Fully Insured plans aren't going to want to pay for it to get some back in rebates, and large enough self-insured payers are going to want this off of their coverage. It'll likely just be small plan sponsors who get forced to cover it as someone. For most, good and bad, only rich people who can pay out of pocket will get it, or not rich people will go bankrupt paying out of pocket because they're understandably desperate. Pretty crappy of FDA to pass the buck to insurance companies to not needlessly cover and pay for a drug that has not been shown to have positive outcomes.

WTF?

Wasn't much interested in it, watched ep 1, got kind of hooked into it. Enjoying the world building. Worth a try if you're looking for something new and interesting. Only thing I will say is it my hit a little too close to home with the whole virus piece of it. I'm also a fairly new Dad so the first episode hit me hard too.

Free country, private company can do what they want, why don't they Chuds love this? Wish my company would do this, or at the least make it required for returning back to office.

Dude's got a punch, good for him. Sadly he's probably going to get fired.

What's going on now? Slow news day for D1P?

I liked Dexter a lot, but certainly went down hill. I rode it the whole way, didn't find the ending that bad, but certainly wasn't great. I'll check out the new season... kind of want to rewatch the old show, but that's quite the commitment.

I may be the only one here,... I was kind of meh to the idea of The Eternals, similar to Guardians before I saw it.... but after the trailer for The Eternals, I'm sold. To me I just care about more "normal" super heroes, that's what I grew up watching/reading, and "god-level" super heroes didn't interest me. After watching the trailer, seems to be hitting similar MCU notes for me, I'll watch. Started reading up on The Eternals and the history.

Similar reaction, how have I never heard of this band before. I almost started thinking is this a 'fake' band for the documentary... listening to some tracks on youtube now.

Wow, I knew masks weren't an impenetrable shield, but they only buy an extra 5 minutes!? I guess that's still helpful for running into a store with the public, but for social gatherings it ain't going to matter... Distance and outside seem to be the biggest protections until you get the shot.

You'll be able to claim come tax time.

Got 2nd shot this afternoon. Stiff neck and upper back a bit, sore shoulder, but otherwise fine. My wife had her 2nd shot, was sick for 24-36 hours (Fever, weak, sore, tired), but she didn't start to feel off until middle of night. Hoping I don't react that strongly to it, but better than alternative.

I don't get this either. As far as I know, there is a process to add states which has been done in the past and it's not a constitutional amendment. "I will only consider shooting the basketball if it's done blindfolded, balancing on a unicycle, and on fire." You either support it or you don't why only support it if it's done through a much more difficult process. I don't get it.

Akili’s therapeutic video game will be tested as a treatment for Covid ‘brain fog’ And my parents said Video Games were bad for me

Can't wait!

Don't be a line jumper, it's wrong. Yes we all need it, but there's people who need it more than you right now (likely, I don't know your particular situation). If you can work from home, if your young and healthy, are in a situation where you can limit your risk, then do the right thing and wait your turn. It's been 12 months, we'll all have it in another month or two.

After watching Requiem for a Dream well geez almost 20 years ago now... I said that was one of the best made films I've ever seen, and I never want to see it again. It's so good, but it's soo good at making you unsettled and yes, staying away from addictions for the rest of your life. So powerful. Glad to see Irreversible on the list. One of my top movies, but haven't watched it in years. Love the cinematography in it, not one visible cut throughout the whole film, which is even more amazing because the film plays in reverse. That being said, it s a brutal film to watch, with two in particular scenes that are extremely hard to watch.

Awesome news, but there's a whole lot of the population under 18. I think it's likely kids don't start getting it until the fall, but timelines there have been pretty vague from what I've seen. Huge mile stone to have adult population by summer, but still likely put the finish line a little bit further out.
