How old is your daughter Mountaineer? I've heard also that older people (age > 65) have less of a problem with adverse reactions than younger ones. The doctor in Florida who died of ITP (an autoimmune condition) was 55. I can't afford even a single day of being that sick, not with all the responsib...

Scheduled for 2nd injection Saturday. Hope the side effects are reasonable. Will let you know how it goes. 👍🏼 My wife and I had our second Pfizer vaccination this morning about 2 1/2 hours ago; neither of us had any immediate effects. We are hoping for the best. Our daughter got her second Moderna ...

Ha. Check out my signature link. (for posterity - https://www.city-journal.org/journalism-advocacy-over-reporting ) I canceled my NYTimes subscription a few days ago. For history books written 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 years from now regarding what had gone on for the last 20 years and what will be going o...

Is it being covered in MSM?

I’m sorry, is MSM an acronym for Major Stupid Morons? Seems redundant.

I have a comp sci exam that starts in a few hours. Wish me luck! Just doing some last minute prep... so nervous.

Water's back on this evening! Still with a boil order, but much nicer than none at all.

Glad to hear it. Hope all returns to somewhat normal quickly.

For some reason, artsy people move to rural Texas (Marfa) to paint and shit as well. Well, now I know the reason: In 1971 Donald Judd began buying old buildings and extensive ranch land in the remote desert of Marfa, Texas. The region has what might be described as a subtle beauty. Marfa isn’t clos...

Don't know how related it is, but thought I'd throw this in here. How long of a lag is it between a bad harvest and when it's felt in the market? I can't imagine crop futures are bought years in advance. Read about the mini ice age around 1780-90, the storms with softball sized hail in Northern Eur...

I agree that PDF is bull. I don't understand how getting the right answer equates to white supremacy. But I need to say, as I recently helped my younger one with a calculus problem -- I am a degreed engineer and I look back at how I was taught in high school and college, and for the most part it re...

Also, no. Although I read recently that people back in the day preferred mules to horses. Due to something something hybrid vigor. Mules are more sure-footed. That’s why mules are used to pack supplies down the Grand Canyon trail to Phantom Ranch. Ditto on the Yosemite trail to the top of Nevada Fa...

Best meme yet! I nominate it for meme of the moment, month, millennium.

I made 85 cents/hr + tips on my busboy job in high school (circa 1965-67). And like Mountaineer and Vinnie I made enough to pay for my own tuition and books at O.S.U. I think tuition was around $250/quarter. That was actually expected by my parents. If we wanted to go to college we had to pay for i...

A few more thoughts after my $1.25/hour job in the summer of 1963: It helped pay for my fall semester at the university - tuition was $90; my 2 room plus bath appartment cost $45/month and I split the cost with one other person. I can't remember food costs, but I recall eating a lot of Banquet pot p...

I started working in 1967 at the then minimum wage of $1.40 an hour. Subsequently I've many times read that that was one of the peak minimum wages in terms of buying power. It would be worth $10.96 today. $15.00 today would be worth equal to $1.91 then. Next year I got a job with the post office (a...

Just wait until they activate the nanomolecules and turn everyone into fast zombies!

I now have a third ear, and only 2 weeks after the first shot. I wonder what is to come? But my hearing has drastically improved. I can now hear conspiracy theories in Mandarin as well as English.

What is "Amazon+"? I did not see any way the book is free.

Thanks

Search engines are your friend.

why do you keep it around, if I may ask?

Because of Vinny’s damage done 50 years ago?

Do me a favor and don’t do a taste test on it, Vinny. I like to tease you but I don’t want you ending up in the hospital. Back 50 years ago I used several off that blotter sheet. And, if the 50 year old memory is correct...it was on the milder side. I fully believe it has zero of anything left in i...
