Truman, I have heard that flu season is projected to start early this year (late October). So I'd try to get that shot now so the vaccine will have -- (edited) - kelly Oct 6, 07:51 18
- [deleted] 17
  - It's a dead virus, so if you get sick, it wouldn't be from the vaccine. - kelly Oct 6, 08:04 15
    - [deleted] 14
      - If you are offered a choice between a shot and a nasal spray - the spray contains the live vaccine. - kelly Oct 6, 08:12
      - I can only go by my own anecdotal evidence, but I've gotten a shot 3x out of the last 5 or 6 years and 3x I've gotten sick immediately after - decline Oct 6, 08:11 6
        
        have you gotten sick, or have you gotten the *flu*? because, in either case you probably were exposed before you got the shot. - Andie Oct 6, 08:13 5
        
        My wife does that and it drives *INSANE* -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:14
        
        I don't know that I've ever had the flu. how would I know? can I fake it and take two days off in november? -- nm - fabulous squad Oct 6, 08:14 3
        
        If you have the flu, you're probably out more than 2 days. - Dark Callisto Oct 6, 08:35
        
        this. I can't tell you if it was the flu. I got sick and had to stay home. -- nm - decline Oct 6, 08:20
        
        fever is a big indicator. and absolute exhaustion (that lasts.). I think i've had the actual flu one time as an adult. -- (link*) - Andie Oct 6, 08:15
      - There can be side effects such a soreness, headaches, and slight fever - JD Oct 6, 08:10 4
        
        In other words, the side effects can be getting sick. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 08:12 3
        
        you aren't actually sick though. the true flu is terrible. you will be weak for a couple weeks after. it's worth avoiding. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 08:14 2
        
        True, but I am tired of people claiming that you will not be "sick" if you get a shot. You very well could be. - Spawn Oct 6, 08:21 1
        
        you won't get the flu from the shot. period. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 08:24
      - It's because those people are morons who don't know how vaccines work. -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:10
  - Alternatively, you're going to be locked in close quarters with strangers for 24 hours, so you could use all the immunity you can get... -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 08:04
ugg. why. - Truman Oct 6, 07:49 10
- I'm fine with it. If people want to pay for useless shaders, go for it. -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:00
- because, $. The last line has me confused, though. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 07:51 8
  - i think its the idea that bungie is going to move from large expansions to smaller, more condensed updates. - Truman Oct 6, 07:55 7
    - It just seems dumb to steal money with the emotes and then give it all away with no more expansions. Which I guess is fine as I will not buy emotes. -- nm* - Spawn Oct 6, 07:57 6
      - but plenty of people will buy emotes and other things that are coming and that will fund the creation of new missions -- nm - Remlik Oct 6, 08:00 5
        
        Oh, I get it. Seems like we will get a lot less new material this way. - Spawn Oct 6, 08:04 4
        
        Look on the bright side, maybe you can beat Skolas now! -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:11 2
        
        its spawn, he probably still cant. -- nm - Truman Oct 6, 08:12 1
        
        True dat. -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:17
        
        you're looking at the wrong way. It's going to mean more material. -- nm - Remlik Oct 6, 08:10

To be clear, I didn't want any response. I complained about some b.s. on Twitter,, because Twitter is basically about venting about b.s. - Mop Oct 6, 07:38 6
- This is why Tesla is the future. The dealership concept exists to prevent monopolies, but it just insulates the carmaker from the customer. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 08:03
- what's the resolution? are they paying? ask chevy to put you in touch with a different dealer. say "I would prefer not to use that dealership." - fabulous squad Oct 6, 07:41 4
  - We have a dearth of Chevy dealerships around here. The next one is probably 50-60 miles away. - Mop Oct 6, 07:45 3
    - it's an hour's drive. how many times will you need to do it? again: stand up for yourself. corporate is not helping you like you need them to. - fabulous squad Oct 6, 07:54 1
      - I prefer to drop off my car and then have them drop me off at work. Heck, I could probably walk to work in 30 minutes. -- nm - Mop Oct 6, 08:26
    - Not tighten the bolt? Sounds like a CSI episode. The dealership wanted to get rid of the whistle blower so they loosened his brakes. -- nm* - Bacon Oct 6, 07:49
LIR: decline, you might want to watch this interview with Chrissie that CBS did a few weeks ago. She is a different kind of woman. -- (link) - GregW Oct 6, 07:38 1

    - Did you not see the thread the other day? - David Oct 6, 07:40
    - He is not available on yahoo. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 07:40 8
      - Now he's not, because David added him two minutes ago. Carry on. -- nm - ML Oct 6, 07:42 7
        
        Weird. I just added him, too. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 07:45 3
        
        I just put in a bid on him for $2. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 6, 07:45 2

        And also on September 27, three days before Spock added him on September 30. - David Oct 6, 07:43 2
        
        saw this as 'Spawn has amazing nipple effects' and had to agree. -- nm - Diva Oct 6, 07:52 1

- I haven't lodged my formal complaint yet, so here it is. It really is bullshit that 2 of the 3 best teams in the league this year will be eliminated - Jim Oct 6, 07:24 4
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yep. I mean, I get it, I guess...but it certainly presents a case for a re-seeding of teams once the playoffs start. nm - Jim Oct 6, 07:28 1

  - Agreed. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 6, 07:26

I was completely joking about a soundproof version. It's crazy that they might actually muffle sound well. - Krusty Oct 6, 07:22 2
