Have you talked to the parents of young children? Because those are exactly the people that are over it. A)kids are at statistically zero risk of covid unless they have cancer or something B) we have all already had covid because little k

Good lord. I know this is hyperbolic but do you have any idea the affect that 15 years of isolation would have on children? And you are willing to place the well-being of random strangers over your own children? You seem to think that you

Current logic: There are hospitals that are forcing covid positive staff to work but not letting staff that has had covid already but isn’t vaccinated work. Similar logic: shutting down nuclear power plants and then complaining that there i

A)wasn’t hard to see covid coming, no insider info was needed. 2 years ago I, an insurance adjuster with no inside info, was freaking out about what was happening in China. B)The unwinding of the covid trade has nothing to do with the c

Cannabis? Or are you looking for a hobby? How about painting along with old Bob Ross episodes? That’s how I learned to paint landscapes. If you mix it with the cannabis, it’s even more fun;)

I didn’t resign because of the pay. I resigned because they never replaced other people that quit, fired, or promoted, so those remaining continued to get more work with no increase in pay. Not that I would have stayed if they even double

By that metric, everything just happens though. Humans just happened, we didn’t will ourselves into existence. Human free will cannot be proved and may very well just be an illusion in our perceiving of a cosmic causal chain. Are our “de

True. But they don’t go away, they persist in nature. So theoretically, the risk continues to grow as they accumulate over time.

Dispensaries deliver. You can also order CBD online, I highly recommend Lazarus Naturals. Your internal dilemma seems self imposed. Even if it provides you a placebo effect, so what? And, look, triple vaccinated doesn’t mean much as it rela

“ Or there’s another resident who was one of 75 people that were given a ticket for simply using the left lane on the interstate” Hell yes, stay out of the left lane unless you are passing. Everything else is a bit much though.

These kids are paying tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars for an education. If the job is too dangerous for grandpa, perhaps he should retire now so that these kids can actually learn AND he can be safe. Instead of, ya know, bilking

Heat pumps only work on their own in mild climates. Cold climates still require furnace in conjunction with the heat pump. Good luck convincing anyone in the northern United States of getting rid of their furnace or hot water heater. Spouti

Yes the stainless steel tri ply pans on an electric stove are pretty awesome. I haven’t really cooked on a gas stove to compare though. Some people think stainless steel pans are worse/cheaper than non stick, but that is not the case
