Sure. DirecTV here, and have been a customer for about 25 years. I watch probably 99% of my TV viewing there, but have a couple of streaming services as well. No satellite Internet -- I still get to the Internet over landline phone service.
No side effects after the first shot. A few mild moments of queasiness the day after the second shot but nothing more. Both shots were Moderna.
Is it possible your right shoulder troubles come from some other cause? A few years ago I had weird pains in my right shoulder, and it hurt badly when I tried to make certain movements. Turned out that when I was standing in front of the toilet and needed a few sheets, I was snapping them off with the same sharp, quick twist a baseball pitcher uses when pitching a curve ball, and had given myself a repetitive stress injury. Small wonder -- this was the time of year when pollen is thick in the air, and so I had more than my share of sneezing, nose running, et cetera. Essentially I was pitching several curve balls per day, or at least my shoulder was -- not a good thing for a guy past fifty.
I work with a couple of online sites devoted to missing persons and unidentified remains. My question is related to that work.
When an adult loses a tooth, how long does it take for the empty bone socket to close up?
A duck walked into a pharmacist's office and said, "I need some Chap-Stick. Put it on my bill."
I know I've seen Columbo way too many times; I immediately recognized the episode.
> They are rarer now, but I could never imagine enjoying myself at a place that requires jacket and tie.
I've been to very few of those, and I'm sure there are many with great cuisine. But in my experience the food has never been worth it. It's like they're trying to distract the diners from the mediocrity by making them dress up.
> It's always a good plan to trust the doctors, virologists, epidemiologists, and other experts
I just saw a news report that nearly all the physicians in the US are vaccinated -- either 95% or 97%, don't recall which. That says it all about what they think of the vaccines.
> The US's torturers in Guantanamo Bay literally used the Barney song as an instrument of torture. Like they played it on a loop in prisoners' cells for 24 hours straight or some length of time like that.
Ouch! Personally, I'd rather be waterboarded than have to endure that.
Yeah, it occurred to me after I posted that to just Google and find out. I didn't know Yale has him on its web site, though. Well, they've got good reason to be proud of him.
> it's some sort of way of keeping his concentration on the questions and not diverting his thought process to forming for each type of answer
Yeah, that's my take on it too.
> the guy's kicking ass and he's a lot more learned than I am
He's from Ohio originally but they introduce him as a PhD student from New Haven, CT, so he must be studying at Yale. Impressive! I wonder what field he's doing his doctorate in?
I'll give you another villain. We've got an ordinance here requiring businesses to enforce mask wearing for their customers. I only know of one business that is obeying it. Most are just ignoring it, and the police and health departments are doing nothing about it.
> you're 54.75 times more likely to be hospitalized if you're unvaxxed than if you're fully vaxxed. unless i flubbed the numbers
I did the math and got the same result.
It's been a long time since I've read any of them, but in Fleming's first novels, wasn't Bond especially cold blooded, almost a sociopath?
Don't know if he's guilty but he sure as hell is acting like it.
> I hate you; you hate me, Let's hang Barney from a tree.
LOL! I missed that one somehow.
We've gun an outdoor gun range near here. One day I and two other shooters were practicing there when a fourth man showed up with a life sized Barney poster. He generously let us share in the fun; all four of us took turns shooting at it. Plugging Barney with 9 mm rounds felt so good!
We had mandatory gym class in my high school, forty years ago. I hated it, partly because I was no athlete, and partly because the class was run by the school's football coach, who was a real asshole. The class was nothing as hardcore as what the video depicts though. Funny thing, I was also on the school's track team for two years. I was lousy at it but had a lot of fun; the coach was as demanding as any coach but was also a good guy who made it all a positive experience. Sometimes it's about the people.
> I wonder if they would still be rated PG if made today.
I could see Apollo 13 getting a PG-13. The astronauts being in peril could scare younger kids. Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) is drunk at the party at his home in the opening scene. There's a sex scene of sorts where Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) showers with a woman, just before getting the phone call telling him he's to replace Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinise). There's enough smoking in the movie to be of concern for some parents.
> PG has more or less replaced the G rating, which now has the stigma of being stuff aimed at preschoolers, like Barney's Great Adventure (1998)
I applaud any parent who managed to sit through that. No kids of my own, but I remember Barney's heyday very well -- my niece was a toddler at the time. All toddlers loved Barney. All adults hated his purple and green guts.
According to this page -- https://about.att.com/newsroom/2019/100_years_dial_phones.html -- the first dial telephones in the US were installed in 1919. The last community was not switched from manual to dial service until <i><b>1978</b></i>!
Hey Jude (Beatles) -> Hey Dude
Not sure what it's about, just seems like a good title.
