Well you could now take the 27.50 lyft?E-Rocker finishes downtown appointment, thinks, "I'm fully vaccinated, I'll go ahead and spend the $2.50 to ride the train home, rather than the ~ $25 to get a Lyft."
E-Rocker approaches train station, can't make out garbled announcement.
E-Rocker buys ticket, goes to platform, still can't make out garbled announcement.
E-Rocker checks the digital reader board to see when the next train will be arriving.
Northbound Red Line trains are experiencing major delays due to an unauthorized person on the tracks.
E-Rocker swears silently and wishes he splurged for the Lyft.
I spent the first twenty minutes of my day looking at diseased buttholes. A group of doctors was doing a presentation about diseased buttholes, so not only were the buttholes displayed on the presenter screen in living colour, if I turned around they were on the projector at ten times life size. The doctors wanted my help to send images of diseased buttholes over the internet to their colleagues.
This is why I drink.
We have no accent. Stop your viscous propaganda!Trying to wrap my head around this whole "getting on an airplane to go 2,000 miles tomorrow morning" thing. To the best of my recollection, the last time I was more than a two-hour's drive outside of Chicago was when I went to Scotland & Ireland in August of 2019.
Wonder how many days it will take to get my PNW accent back? Not consciously; it will just happen.

My advice is to at least give yourself the day off after getting the second shot. I got my second Moderna on Tuesday, and was more or less bed-ridden yesterday. Some folks are affected less, and others more. My roommate was out for 2 days after his second moderna, while my mother was only out for about 12 hours.Today is two weeks since my first shot of the Moderna vaccine. If I understand things correctly, this yields immunity about 80% of the time. I won't get my second shot for another two weeks, and I won't be officially 'fully vaccinated' until two weeks after that. And 'full vaccination' brings benefits, like going outside without wearing a mask, as long as you are not in big groups.
It was nice knowing you.Moving house tomorrow. Internet gets connected at the new place on the 4th. Wish me luck.

Nah probably something like Dyson Logos mapsI made a ceramic mug in high school with the 1st edition cover for Stalking the Night Fantastic on it. After I painted it with red glaze the teacher mentioned, you know that has lead in it probably shouldn't drink out of it. Filed under things that would have been nice to know before I painted my awesome gaming mug!
Not sure what happened to that mug.
The cover, I had the M16 and pentagram on one side, Stalking the Night Fantastic on the other.

How is Spain these days? That's where I think you live but I could be remembering wrong. I keep seeing things saying americans will be able to go visit europe followed by articles on how locked down europe is. It's a very conflicted message.Mam and Dad vaccinated so we could finally meet them again and on a sunny summers day to boot.

Yeah, I can see that.And that's still not as bad as what I had to wade through my first day on the job after I got out of college.
Working on video animations of D&C for weeks. All sorts of situations and complications, all there in vivid imagery.
That was the stuff of nightmares.
Everyone vaccinated at my workplace + new CDC guidelines = happy hours are back on the menu! Can’t wait for my wife to get the shot as well but that’ll take time.Mam and Dad vaccinated so we could finally meet them again and on a sunny summers day to boot.
I just looked that up and immediately regretted it.And that's still not as bad as what I had to wade through my first day on the job after I got out of college.

Sorry... I should have warned not to look that up. Working for a medical animation company was a very interesting job for my first programming job. And also very sickening. And when I say animation, it was animations of realistic drawings and 3d models.I just looked that up and immediately regretted it.
I'm in Ireland, but would love to be in sunny Spain, Italy or Greece at the moment!How is Spain these days? That's where I think you live but I could be remembering wrong.

Spain, Ireland, Wales they're all Mediterranean countries....I'm in Ireland, but would love to be in sunny Spain, Italy or Greece at the moment!
Most European countries expect to be opening up for tourists this summer. Provided one is vaccinated:
- Iceland is already open
- Bulgaria and Greece will be from May. Italy and Cyprus Mid-May
- Spain, Malta and France from June
- Germany and Portugal are a bit ambiguous.
- The Scandinavian countries, especially Denmark, have a complex system but it seems "some time in the mid-Summer" if you are American.
Essentially most European countries will be open to American tourists by mid-June. Greece just opened to American tourists for example. Bar and restaurants etc will reopen or are already reopen as the vaccination program is proceeding faster than anticipated in most areas.Spain, Ireland, Wales they're all Mediterranean countries....
Are the expecting to be open for their own citizens though? That's what looks really confusing from what I'm reading. It sounds ridiculous but what I'm seeing is articles talking about european countries either still in lockdown or with cases still quite high and not a good end in sight followed by ones saying "Come on over America!". Something is off because it sounds like americans could come over to closed restaurants, museums and shopping.
I suppose it's no worse than trying to figure out what's open or shut in the various US states varying between "There's a pandemic?!? Nah we're open" to "There's a pandemic!!! We're shut!"Essentially most European countries will be open to American tourists by mid-June. Greece just opened to American tourists for example. Bar and restaurants etc will reopen or are already reopen as the vaccination program is proceeding faster than anticipated in most areas.
However historic sites around Europe being open is not determined by the national policy in the main, but the individual caretakers of those sites. Especially for smaller sites. Often with little information as to when they will reopen. So if you wanted to see historic areas you'd have to check about them in advance. Overall most major sites have stated they will be open with guides by mid-Summer, but their interpretive centers might still be shut.
Some central European countries like Germany and Austria will have a tighter lockdown for longer than most other countries and will probably remain closed, perhaps that is related to what you read.
You're missing one - "What? A Pandemic? There's no such thing!"I suppose it's no worse than trying to figure out what's open or shut in the various US states varying between "There's a pandemic?!? Nah we're open" to "There's a pandemic!!! We're shut!"
14 years is a long run. My last laptop lasted 12 years and I thought that was good.On May Day, my desktop at home decided to go on strike. It would not start but instead would either (1) shut itself down or (2) try to restart repeatedly. I was able to get to a startup repair utility on at least two of the go-rounds and in one iteration I tried system recovery. No dice.
The next day (Sunday) the same thing occurred, except that the startup repair worked and the machine is back in business. For how long is anybody's guess.
I've been thinking of replacing it for a while now, since it is about 14 years old. Fortunately, everything of significance on its hard drive is backed up elsewhere, so it it does fail nothing will be lost.
