  • This is is why you should use incognito/InPrivate mode when using Microsoft sites. It will always give the full login prompt.

    The real frustrating thing is when you have a personal account and a work account under the same email address... Separating those two is a massive pain.

  • Politicians in California want to remove bike lanes from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a top official was driving his car

    Jump

  • I mean, the point I was trying to make is that if you aren't actively engaged in politics, you won't know any of those things. Heck, I'm pretty engaged in my local news, taking maybe 15-30 minutes a day to read about local and state issues, and off the top of my head, I couldn't tell you who my state level rep is, or what they've voted for recently. That's why people don't vote then out, there is an apathetic disconnect between the politicians vote, and the shitty policies that they support. Hence why people keep actively voting for politicians who undermine and harm them, the people voting can't be bothered to connect their vote to the policies that are enacted.

  • Quick, without googling, tell me your state level representative, and give me a summary of their votes on key issues.

  • Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA

    Jump

  • They was just one example.

    Let's not forget that we are using hospital resources for Covid patients which would otherwise be available or not required at all. There is a social cost there.

    When people are sick with Covid, it affects their economic productivity. Not that we should really care, but sick workers make less money for the billionaires.

    The journal is one peer reviewed source that shows there is congnitive decline that correlates strongly with the severity of a Covid infection. Reducing the number of infections, and reducing the severity (both things vaccines can do very well) reducing the collective cognitive impact to the population and the knock-on effects of those cognitive issues.

  • Yeah the problem is going to be getting the loan, and I would need about 1900sqft for the solar array, which would take up most of my yard. I'd need to elevate it up near the roofline of the house, so the entire back yard would be one big partially shaded patio. Which sounds nice, but I don't think the city will let me build it.

  • The ending is what really got me.

    They all just sat down and kept trying to live life the way they always had, like going back and making everything the way it was just for a little while was all they could do in the face of obliteration.

    I don't know about anyone else, but the way that scene is drawn out, as the viewer, I was just expecting some deus ex machina shit to happen, like a volcano would divert the shockwave, or they would survive under the rubble, or the whole thing was a fever dream... And they all just get obliterated by the disaster they all knew was coming and no longer preventable. It's how I feel living in a house with AC, and having two cars in the driveway. I'm contributing to the climate crisis, but as an individual, I have zero impact in what is happening. The people with the power to cut back and actually make an impact on the climate won't, because they only have that power though greed above everything else.

    Anyway, sorry if you're depressed after reading it. When we hit +1.5C, all the cool people can come over to my house for a nice dinner before the food supply collapses and the famine sets in.

  • Devils Advocate here...

    Hypothetically she is right. Making elevated levels of antibodies long after a vaccination or exposure may not be normal...

    Now on the flip side, other things that aren't normal. Air conditioning, 99% of children surviving past their first birthday, solar panels. Just because something isn't "normal" doesn't mean that it is bad.

    It could also be that we're being constantly exposed to COVID in 2025 since we failed to contain or eradicate it, and the population never got up to herd-immunity level vaccination rates. Which would explain why the immune system is still making spike protein antigens.

    I'm also doubtful about the levels of spike protein antibodies she is claiming, I'd bet that there isn't a peer reviewed article that supports that claim.

  • If you pay a University enough money, they'll give you any title or degree you want.

    Case in point, Trump has an economics degree from Wharton.

  • The harrowing thing for me about "Don't Look Up", was that you couldn't tell if it was about climate change, or Covid, or basically any other far-right political denialism.

  • My electric utility just arbitrarily added 170 (~50% of the total) bucks to my bill this month, despite me using 11% less electricity.

    The whole point of being a utility is to allow the "efficiency" of a monopoly without the ability to gouge the customers. Frankly, I'm looking to see if there is a lawsuit against the utility at this point so I can join on to it.

    Also looking into residential solar. Ideally I can just give my electric utility the finger and disconnect my service. Between them and gas, I'm paying about 400 bucks a month, which could get me a nice loan for a solar array, battery backup, and all electric appliances.
