And, as always, everyone's forgotten that poor NovaVax exists.
Being serious for a moment: NovaVax is made in the "traditional" away vaccines have been made, which is good if you know someone who's anti mRNA vaccines. It has less and less severe side effects than Pfizer or Moderna. It's not quite as effective as the mRNA vaccines - but it tends to last a bit longer as well. It provides a different 'template' for recognizing covid, so it broadens your protection in that way.
One drawback is that if you want NovaVax in the spring, you need to get it early, as the batches tend to expire around April. (I time my shots for mid-May [max summer protection] and mid-to-late October [max winter protection].) I think I've had 3 Modernas, 4 Pfizers, and 4 NovaVaxs to date ...
I saw a video yesterday of a guy who was at the gas station with a 10-liter can because his car had run out of gas but the station attendant wouldn't sell him any because of scalpers filling cans and reselling them.
The article now has an updated photo - I guess they had to send someone to the store to get a photo of these specific chips, or get permission from the maker to use the maker's stock photo or something?
I used to wake up every morning with a feeling of existential dread over what middle of the night drug fueled rant he would've gone on that would dismantle some part of society.
No, women have been telling others - both men and women - about misbehaving men since before we left the forests. It's really only been since the MeToo era that society as a whole (not just feminists or leftists or whoever) has started to recognize that male misbehaviour actually has negative systemic effects.
And here you are, after tens of thousands of years of women being being treated as property, as trophies, as broodmares and houseslaves, when their voices are finally starting to be heard on a societal level, complaining that their voices are making you uncomfortable.
We're at a time when women's rights are being eroded, when simply crossing into another state means that a women's rights and what she can do with her body have changed, and you want them to shut up and sit down, stop fighting and let things go back to where things were before, because you don't want to have to deal with the legacy of pain.
If you want to stop hearing the voices, then you can either get into the echo chamber with the people who are radicalizing and weaponizing young men - or you can actually get into the trenches and help make the world a better place. Or I guess you can sit on the sidelines feeling oppressed and victimized and making weak-ass memes.
Anyway. I'm done with you and your "the world should be different, but I can't be arsed to actually do anything about it (except post weak-ass memes)", so welcome to my blocklist: you don't want to hear the voices of a universe of injured women, and I'm tired of hearing the voices of not-very-opppressed men.
You know, as black boys grow up, they learn that cops will often view them as a group and treat them as less-than. As young women grow up, they learn that boys and manchildren will often view them as a group as treat them as less-than. As young immigrants grow up, they learn that the native-born often view them as a group and treat them as less-than. As the disabled grow up, or as people become disabled, they learn that the able-bodied often treat them as less-than.
Welcome to the real world, son, where your viewpoint isn't the lens through which everyone else views the world, and where you aren't the main character.
Now either grow up with the rest of us, or fuck off with that "poor me, I'm the real victim" crap.
Troops can get free tickets to the White House UFC fight. Except they have to pay for their own tickets and fr they have to be tall and fit, because the idiot doesn't want to be offended by the look of the people who defend this country. [I suspect that white soldiers will get preferential treatment regarding ticket access and better seating. Honestly, I'm surprised that skin color wasn't one of the selection criteria.]
Ergot poisoning (aka, St Anthony's fire) has been a recurrent issue since people started eating rye and similar grains. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar issue with other grains.
That said, they didn't say what type of breads were affected, nor did they say whether the poisoning was natural, carelessness, or intentional :(
It's cute, how they're saying it won't be a strain on the city water system or the industrial supply. They're not denying that it'll strain the overall water supply, draining aquifers or lakes or whatever, just that it won't affect these specific water supplies.
Especially with things like cyberattacks (institution losing access to your accounts), scamming (you lose access to your accounts), power failures (everyone loses access to their accounts), etc.
I mean, I literally have a small stash of money in the closet (some 20's and a bunch of smaller notes), so that if a semi-major disaster hits, I can still buy any supplies I can find that I need - gas, water, food, a couple nights in a hotel, whatever. Plastic is a great backup system, but it relies on me having my card, my card having enough money free, the merchant having power to run the card, the merchant's communications working, the system they link into having power and communications, etc. With cash, it's just "here, take this" and it's all good.
I started to excerpt parts of the article for a tl;dr, but this is an excellent article. It covers the war's impact on food production in multiple regions and in many different (and some non-obvious) ways. I encourage people to read it in its entirely as it's an excellent overview of potential food-related events (fertilizer shortages, weather problems, export restrictions, civil unrest) later this year.
If it's an option in your area, you might consider joining a farm share or Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in your area: you pay the farmer up front and get a share of the harvest in return. It ensures local farms can continue to exist and gets you lots of high-quality local produce.
You forgot the screw worm infestation and the bacon recall ...

TIL potato chips can carry salmonella.

Lol, what is this bullshit? He's been cheering them on all along.

Okay, that's cool!

It's the Finding Paul Revere analysis, and it can get scary.

Sharks have existed long enough that their species (and our Sun) has circled around the entire Milky Way Galaxy - twice.
Black cat is somewhat annoyed about something. What have you done?
I've been getting a farm share (CSA) for several years now, and I'm increasingly grateful for it!
