I started playing Stellaris a few days ago after decided I needed another grand strategy game to learn. Coincidentally, Humble put up a Stellaris bundle around the same time. Get the base game for $1.

Stellaris is yet another Paradox grand strategy game, but set in space. There's a pretty steep learning curve for me as I can't draw on any real life history. The mechanics are also quite a bit different.

Another one I kind of bounced off of. Most of Paradox's latest offerings haven't really done it for me.

This game is a bit more complicated (although there's some decent QoL automation you can set up), and it's definitely not as pretty, but Distant Worlds: Universe is one of my favorite games ever regardless of genre. There is a sequel in the works but the original is amazing.

They can't ever send the Ever Given through the Suez again, right?

I have a feeling they're going to do some restrictions on ship size going forward if that's at all tenable.

Just... how does one boat block the entire canal.

1 vaccine down this morning. 1 more to go. FYI to anyone in Tampa, it's open season at the Dog Track by exit 50.

 

[Hoek]

I got my first one on Monday. CVS was easy to get an appointment at, just gotta jump on them at midnight.

Do the dogs give the shot?

My second dose in 3 hours.

I will be immortal!!!!

Walgreens seems like a relatively easy site. You need to sign up for an online account first, but they update hourly.

Twitter is indicating that Publix lists their times at 7 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. (everything from today is gone)

 

[Hoek]

Yeah and depending on day of the week you sign up at Publix, you get either J&J or Moderna so if you want a specific one that can be a way to go. CVS only does Pfizer I think.

https://twitter.com/FLVaccine is a good one to follow if you want info on pop up sites and appointments being made available.

"Dogs?" Man... healthcare workers just can't get a break!

Pfizer and Moderna. My oldest son is a Pharm Tech for CVS and confirms with me every day they're booked solid, constantly. Might be a wee bit of a pain in the arse to get an appointment for those seeking the CVS option.

I can share my Publix experience. It took me 9 attempts to get my mom scheduled (3 each M,W,F). I had 3 laptops and an iPad going and what worked was:

*Prompt start (with multiple devices) at 7am

*Right as you start, click on the "Type of Vaccine" info link at the type of the page - Apparently doing so sets which vax you get an appointment for

*Wait for 60 second countdown (auto-refresh with new 60 sec countdown) - With each refresh, the availability percentage decreases.

We got down to 8% before it segued to the actual appointment part.

If you opt for the Moderna vax, it'll automatically schedule your second dose appointment

 

[Felonious Python]

Just got my appointment for tomorrow through Walgreens.

I searched based on my county and refreshed every so often until something happened. I've driven by the place before actually.

That's awesome news Python. You won't believe how much faster your phone downloads after that 1st dose.

I normally use wifi, but I'll upgrade to 5G if I can get it.

5G doesn't normally set in until a couple of hours in.

The second shot is just to get the 5G signal booster, right?

@The Macho King

You on 6G yet?





-- on a serious note I heard that 2nd dose is a bitch. It put my mom down for a full day. Hope you're feeling well through the week brother.

 

[Hoek]

Second dose got my dad pretty bad but my mom wasn't too affected by it. Who knows. He gets chills from flu shots as well however.
