The problem with the vaccine distribution seems to be that it's been made way more complicated than need be. The federal government dumped most of...

When I was looking for an appointment I found the bay area vaccine hunters group on facebook to be incredibly helpful. Among other things someone on...

The icloud backup is not an identical copy of everything on your phone. It backs up all your data (emails, imessages, photos, contact list) and a...

PT being in the closet sucks. Regardless of what it is that one is keeping secret. Open up to your family about your husband’s refusal to get...

My phone backs up to iCloud every night when I plug it in.

They do have their claws. She hasn’t tried to claw her way up the rail. At least not yet...

We adopted them about two months after we’d moved in. They are littermates. Totally bonded.

Many moons ago (the early '80s) my aunt had to deal with hail damage to her car. The small town she lived in in western kansas had suffered a major...

Like razz says, stick to the maintenance schedule. And keep it clean. And if you drive it on salted roads wash it frequently. Although I've read...

The girls are totally settled in now and are truly charming and so much fun! They both like to come get love from us, and not just when we offer...

We just had part of our deck redone to get rid of a stupid stage area that was 6 inches higher and make it level with the rest of the deck. Holy cow...

Having competent support for details like that is such a big help! I’m fortunate that our department has good assistants. Once I get an order I can...

Lol. Good point. Although to be honest the few times in my life I’ve thought about murdering someone after an unpleasant interaction it wasn’t...

Just ran across an interesting piece of news. Despite concerns to the contrary, apparently the number of suicides in the US during 2020 fell 6% from...

Yeah they do seem random. I’ve seen reports from random otherwise heathy friends that ranged from a day or two or three of miserable from one or both...

Back in the early days the anti-lockdown folks were pointing to them to 'prove' that lockdowns weren't effective. Lets see how that worked out for...

Population density ain’t the problem. The worst hit counties in Kansas are all sparsely populated rural counties.

I guess at the end of the day we can bicker over whether red states or blue states did better at keeping people alive or we could bicker over what...

I suppose one can debate the definition of infrastructure. To be sure, home healthcare aids, while probably money well spent if it reduces medicaid...

What huge monies have we seen from DC for infrastructure? How did we pay for the tax cut for rich people and corporations? The hole in the budget...

My point wasn’t red state blue state but that doing lockdowns and people actually following them work. Which was what a previous poster had doubted....

Sam Francisco county - 588 deaths per million residents Dallas county - 1478 deaths per million residents Miami dade county - 2183 deaths per...

They try but the reality is that north and South Dakota win the award. Part of the problem for Florida’s efforts is that they export a lot of their...

I was happy to do the drive through. No large building with lots of people sharing my airspace. And I didn’t have to deal with finding parking, etc....

I did the drive thru one here in Oakland. They've been doing about 6500 jabs/day since early february. When it first opened they were disorganized...

Meanwhile, in stupidville, they had a full house. And from what I saw on the teevee news maybe a third were wearing masks. But since everything is...

I've never read Kondo. I'm curious, how does she deal with (or does she) people who live with someone who is not interested in a Kondo'd life. Long...

The biggest risk is that lots of people use the same password for various different accounts. When hackers get lists of stolen email/password combos...

I suppose we've reached the endgame of 'everyone deserves atrophy' when even vaginas are getting them. Oh wait, it's everyone deserves a trophy...

Personally I think that recreational baseball game attendance should be ended. From what I saw on the news today the people in stupidville are about...

So sorry to hear this rob. My first serious boyfriend and I remained friends for many years after we broke up. Then he got hooked on meth, got...

That folding underwear video is nuts. There's no way I'd ever do that. But my underwear is not bright and cheerfully various as the person in the...

Folding underwear seems like a supreme waste of time. I just have a flat stack of it in the drawer.

The Oakland coliseum site was super well run. In and out in less than half an hour. Fema is running it and I believe it’s staffed with national...

Most of my friends have done so. Mostly by holding the card in an awkward manner to cover up almost everything except their name and the cdc logo. I...

Me too. If I'm out and about walking places I'll carry a portable sized sanitizer with me, and I keep a bottle in the door pocket of the car to use...

I question whether these bigger modern trucks are any better at towing or hauling than a similarly rated truck from a decade ago with a lower body...

Not sure if it #1 or #2. The other thread in the running would be the trump thread that Williamsmith started back in 2016.

Was able to book an appointment for tomorrow at the Oakland Colliseum. Getting the J&J vaccine. Won't have to drive all the way to Stockton now.

There was a late model Ford F-250 in the parking lot at the grocery store today. It was about two feet too long for the space and so tall that I...

I'm not optimistic that we'll get enough people vaccinated to reach herd immunity, at least in some specific places. More likely it seems that we'll...

I'm very grateful. As has been said by a number of doctors/public health experts "the best vaccine you can get is the one you can get in your arm...

And now J&J has to toss out 15 million doses that a partner manufactured because of quality control issues. I guess I’m lucky to have an appointment...

Unibody means that the car doesn't have a separate frame. All cars today are made this way because they can be made lighter and stronger and with...

Various providers have already started making 50+ appointments for tomorrow onward. I managed to get one for Sunday in Stockton. Hopefully when the...

Not only are pickups absurd looking now, and expensive, they are also significantly more deadly when they hit pedestrians. ...

Anyone 50+ can get vaccinated in California starting Thursday. My county’s health department announced that they will open up appointments for us at...

It feels good to be wanted doesn’t it!?

Thirty years ago the US population was 248 million. 80 million less than now. Adding another 99 million over the next 25 years doesn’t necessarily...

Part of me wonders if all the worry over what would happen if a large number of immigrants were allowed in from countries south of us is unfounded. ...

And stress level. One of my official goals for work every year is that I have to take at least two weeks of my vacation time and not check email. I...

My dad served in the army I. Germany during the Korean was (1951-52). Germany at that time was still incredibly hobbled from the war. I’m not...

A few years ago friends of ours were selling their house to move to a different state and it sold more quickly than they expected. They ended up...

I’m starting to think it’s not just your son that has issues with OCD.

Personally I prefer a chocolate shake. Made with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup!

This article is in line with what I’ve read elsewhere. Roughly 55% of people reporting systemic side effects (the various flulike symptoms) after the...

Yeah that was SO. Part of the reason I want the J&J is so that he and I have diversity in case some new variant evades one or the other. The other...

J&J is starting to become available in California. The Oakland coliseum site is supposedly switching to it on Thursday. While I will gladly take any...

SO got the second Pfizer Wednesday. No side effects.
