  1. Ruh roh Raggy, that leaves 15M unvaccinated! Probably superspreaders too.
  2. Pfizer's New COVID-19 Vaccine Prevents 90% of Infections. HUZZAH! Lets try it out on our oldsters ASAP!
  3. Yeah I flamed out on S1E7. Ive got to try to get back into it because I was really enjoying it until some switch flipped in my mind.
  4. Hmm, iirc I had to take one 8 years ago. They also waived the vision test as long as you say there havent been any changes to your vision since last time, which slightly raised my eyebrows.
  5. True that! I had been dreading going back ever since I saw how bad the line was the first time but had resigned myself to take my lumps today. I was so happy that my 1 hour investment of going before they opened saved me a couple hours on the backend. Aside, the "written test" is no longer written multiple choice, its now touch panel multiple choice and you have to get 28 correct answers to pass. I dont know how many you can get wrong, its ridiculously easy and I didnt miss any.
  6. Renewed my drivers license and got the newly required "Real ID". I tried to do it a few weeks ago and the line at the DMV was out the door, down the side of building, and ending out in the rear parking lot. So I left. Today I was there an hour before they opened and I was second in line. Thirty minutes after I got there another ~40 people had already queued up behind me! Otherwise: new picture, proof of residency (for Real ID) and taking the written test and I was in and out of there in 20 minutes. WooHoo!
  7. I just went with "chemical composition of an apple", I didnt separate various parts out. Perhaps Luke was referring to the skin?
  8. Fingers crossed. Im ready for the checks to start rolling in!
  9. Hmm, wheres the arsenic and cyanide?
  10. Goooood morning Vietnam! Do we have a president yet? I cant believe Trump didnt get rolfstomped but it looks like uncle Joe took IL 55.1% to 43%. Jorjensen got 1.1% (57,687 votes)!
  11. Mores the pity.
  12. It was you mentioning it earlier that made me realize it even existed! I loves me the Tremors series warts and all. A guilty pleasure, like my personal Sharknado. It wont be the same now.
  13. Are they going to be elevated to take advantage of gravity or are you also installing a pump?
  14. I heard what sounded like two cannon balls careening down my stairs and my kittens came skidding around the corner to post up at my back sliding door. A squirrel was sitting on one of the patio chairs and the little bastage had torn a hole in a cushion and was filling his cheeks with stuffing, presumably to line his burrow for the winter. So in the garage the cushions went, at least only one was ruined. My wife was pretty miffed but I gave the cats treats for alerting me.
  15. Tremors: Shrieker Island
  16. The Mandalorian S1E1-6 Dig it so far. Baby Yoda makes me laugh more than I should.
  17. Avengers: Endgame Im a little late to the party here.
  18. All systems go for UK’s £55M fusion energy experiment.
  19. Needs more watermelon. I know it cant be canned or frozen but its just so delicious.
  20. "Wolfthorn" hit me right in the funny bone for some reason.
  21. Surely theres a syllabus handed down from above, but they probably allow a little wiggle room. I suppose thats close enough to expertise.
  22. Bummer.
  23. Youre probably right. Ive never even paid attention to the down ballot candidates before, but now that I know I have a voter registration card (who knew!) maybe Ill vote. But not if I have to go there and stand in line. My card directs me to some voting location at a nearby church but I wonder if IL has electronic voting.
  24. No thats only 1% of the reason. The other 142% is complete apathy. Although Trump is enough of a dumpster fire to have at least made me consider voting, I trust that IL will vote D as always.
  25. @Hurlshot Ill do my best to muscle through.
