Yeah, he's a real Frank Lloyd Wright... What the world needs is for the trash house someone makes in Second Life mk II to become reality. Web3/crypto enthusiasts are literally the worst people on earth, no exceptions.

How are they doing them? Here in the US any store that has a pharmacy has COVID vaccines. I got boostered at Costco, but they're at every Walmart, Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, everywhere. I got my first round at a mass vaccine site in a YMCA.

Ohio has been pulling down those numbers every day all week, but it's cool, the legislature limited the governor's ability to enact restrictions.

I mean here in like a few months after everyone who is going to get a booster has had one for a few months and antibody levels have decreased is the effectiveness going to be low? Like I feel like we need to get going on improving the vaccine.

So I wonder how long protection against Omicron lasts after the booster. Because you have that spike in antibodies when you get a vaccine that has some drop off after a few months.

A little north of Cincinnati, OH. No one in the red parts of Ohio gives a shit whether they have COVID or not so maybe that's why. My brother said he saw boxes of COVID tests at a gas station last week. Most CVS and Walgreens here have the Binax and Quickvue tests in stock.

Home rapid antigen tests are everywhere and about $25. I came down with a cold this week, scooped up a 2 test box from Walgreens, used both, negative. I do kind of think we need subsidized rapid antigen testing everywhere.

The Speaker is a real job though. Trump was the President who learned about stuff in his public briefings to the country the same time as the rest of us. He's doing now what he likes doing most, playing golf and posing next to people who want to get their picture taken with him.

The company I worked for last year sent an email one Thursday morning in April saying that they were laying people off and the people being cut would know by afternoon. No one did any work that morning and they sent an email out at like 11:00 saying if you didn't get notification yet then you were fine and to please get back to work. The cuts weren't at all performance based either, the decisions on who to cut were made at the executive level. Then a month later everyone else was told they'd take a 5% pay cut the rest of the year, but we got good news in September that they had their best sales month ever, but full pay didn't come back until January anyway. Needless to say "the great resignation" of 2021 hit them pretty hard, my exit interview was a survey link.

If Omicron gets bad then it'll get bad. I think people fight the hell out of mask mandates and restrictions moving forward. Politicians won't do the restrictions anyway because the ones that did them before caught a hell and the ones content with letting their people die didn't have any downsides to their political career. I've also seen people complain that they've already had two shots and aren't getting another one because they're just done with it, people just don't have the stamina for this sort of thing now.

A day out from my Moderna booster, feels the same as both of my Pfizer shots. Feels like I got frog punched in the arm and I'm a bit tired, that could be the shit weather though.

It's kind of frustrating that there's no solution without going full on authoritarian. The three strikes stuff wasn't terribly effective, but I feel like there should be something different done with people who just commit regular minor felonies and never appear to be heading towards any kind of rehabilitation. This guy apparently has a rap sheet like 50 pages long, I feel like around page 20 or so they should have just stopped letting him live in a normal society.

I booked me a Modern booster for wednesday after work, got my second dose of Pfizer back in April.

One of the best things to come out of this pandemic for me is not paying city taxes. I live in the township, no local income tax, I switched jobs and my current company is based in South Portland, Maine and I work from home in Ohio.

I'm always entertained by Facebook ads for some new gadget that makes regular everyday stuff worse or weirder. I keep seeing this toaster oven that lets you scan the barcode on food to optimally cook it. But it's not like it scans the stuff you pick up at Kroger, no that would be kind of cool and harder to implement, it scans the barcode of the stuff you get from their meal subscription service. I never understood the SodaStream, you have to keep compressed CO2 around and this kitchen gadget to make a bottle of Coke at home.

I'd been not feeling my job for a while and a coworker who tries to be a team lead sent me a shitty email and copied the boss. I applied to 3 places, 2 of them immediately wanted to interview and one made me an offer giving me $15k more than I made at the last place, so I left. I feel like if you are at a certain point in your career right now you can scoop up a better job without much problem.

I'm fine with it, I mean at some point they'll start pouring bleach in the tub and start getting chemical burns, but whatever, they can't spread that to everyone else.

When the pandemic hit I did regret buying a brand new Mazda 3 in July of 2019, considering my commute when from a round trip of 60 miles a day to nothing. I just checked, it's only lost $1000 in value in two years, which is insane.

Is it really hard to disappear people nowadays? Or is it just governments don't care anymore? The Saudis chopping a guy up in a government building after people knowing he went there, the Russians just tossing a guy out a window.

Nothing matters, everything is shit. The only good thing that's happened on this front recently is the band of hicks who passed the abortion ban in my town got shown the fucking door tonight.

When I say "lost" I don't mean my local delivery person. It leaves one Amazon warehouse headed for my local distribution, shows up across the country and is then marked as lost. It doesn't make it to the delivery van. One of mine arrived at their hub in Kentucky, then showed up in Miami, then went missing.

Amazon has lost no less than 4 orders of mine in the past 3 weeks, I'm not sure what they're optimizing for at the moment.

The Trump administration was. a slow moving car crash, people slowed down to watch. Biden isn't that, the last scandal I saw with them was the fact that his son may have paid his cell phone bill for a while

Henry Kissinger isn't really a person but an avatar of evil brought into this world by unknowable powers. While he may not be considered alive, he will most certainly out-exist us all.
