It that involves work. Not only am I an asshole, but I’m a lazy asshole to boot.

This little girl is talented as hell.

I remember when videos of her first popped up like 5 years ago. Amazing then and amazing now.

This little girl is talented as hell.

Also some posters here are rattled that a past his prime Dave Grohl didn't hop on the drums and make sure this girl wasn't gifted an opportunity. How do we know she is a talented drummer if she didn't earn her spot.

Almost everyone I know is either full-time or majority remote with no end in sight. The exceptions are those who work in stodgy offices like certain long-standing financial institutions. I took a new position with the same company that was classified as 60%+ travel 2 years ago. I go in once per week.

As an airline pilot in a country where we are criminally underpaid, must be nice.

Just read somewhere that up to 28 people opted not to evacuate in Grand Isle, LA. Crazy... those people will be lucky to be alive in 12 hours.

Well I guess I'll post again

In this case drowned.

Got my chess rating to 994. One win away....

And lost three straight games. Back to the 970s. I feel like the Phillies.

That hurt reading. I'm in my mid-30s and I have the same ligament issue in both ankles already. Ugh...

You’re no daisy at all.
Tombstones in my top 10. F it. I watch that movie far too often.

I'd make a Darwin Award joke, but sadly these people had platforms to further reinforce or instill false beliefs in their listeners and have contributed to deaths not just among their followers, but among people their followers infected and spread the virus to unnecessarily.

I will perpetually bounce between 1050 and 1150 from now until the end of time.

Not gonna boost any time soon

Scientists debate the need for booster shots

Meacham said the key issue at the heart of the debate is a lack of understanding of basic immunology.

"It's totally normal for antibody titers to go down after 6 months, give or take, when you get a vaccine. That's the way the body works," he said.

Offit echoed a similar sentiment.
“Protection against severe illness should remain, I should think for a few years. Because all you need is immunological memory," he said.
Which is why Meacham added, "I think the main issue that you have to reconcile is will people accept living with COVID. As of now the answer is no."

The answer hinges on whether evidence emerges that memory of protection is enough, versus the presence of antibodies in a person.

"I would be surprised if you needed a yearly booster," Offit said. "The only virus that is done for is the flu."
