ST Vulnerability Check: when was the last time you had an ugly cry? - colin Jan 11, 10:41 9

  - *hugs* man, i can't imagine how you've been feeling and i get those little things just being the breaking point. - colin Jan 11, 10:50
- I had been misunderstood how my decades long friendship with Masao/Fang stood. We had the falling out, I gave a second chance, but no, it was done. - Qale Jan 11, 10:47 2
  - 2020 def put into perspective how many relationships were either over and i didn't know it, or just not as close as i thought. - colin Jan 11, 10:57 1
    - I mean, my own mom inexplicably became a Trump supporter. I don't even know how that happened. - Qale Jan 11, 11:03
- Big Hugs, Colin that is awful. Sorry you are feeling this way. I’m glad your partner is there for you. November to Jan has me on emotional edge - Pippy Jan 11, 10:45 1

so they gone from Twitter to Parlor to Gab, seems like they skipped the 5 and 4 letter-name sites they could have used. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 10:41 1
- As drunk as I saw many of the Insurrectionists were, some of them need to keep on moving down until they get to AA. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 11:04
Will - I'm way behind again (B10) but saw your post. I did get Hinton (+2 walkons, blah) and from scrimmages it appears he can shoot the lights out - rollo Jan 11, 10:39 6
- I also got a +8 PG who averaged 7.5assists as a clean lead. Like, he graded as a +7, came in as advertised...how did my conference miss him? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 11:00
- Do scrimmages cost points? I’ve debated some money but haven’t pulled the trigger. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 10:58 1
  - So, unlike the last time I played, my 2 boys are old enough and into it, so they are playing. They each went Large Program this cycle so I accepted - rollo Jan 11, 11:04
- What are the P’s in? I presume one is athleticism or intelligence. Is the other rebounding? - David Jan 11, 10:43 2
  - He has P Hands and Athleticism so I'm gonna have him stay in his favorite spot and then someone will carefully hand him the ball so he can swish it. -- nm - rollo Jan 11, 10:58
  - Hands is 3rd, athleticism is 6th. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 10:57

Sen. Joe Manchin on Cruz, Hawley: "I most certainly believe they've got blood on their conscience." -- (link) - budice Jan 11, 10:12 4
- Did we ever hear *why* he was leaving that day? -- nm - Spawn Jan 11, 10:17
- He's sorely mistaken; they have no conscience. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 10:13 2
  - Was just going to say the same thing. -- nm - pmb Jan 11, 10:32
  - Right. -- nm - David Jan 11, 10:18

- This is on Trump. -- nm - Spawn Jan 11, 10:23
- dammit -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 10:20
It's amazing how much things have changed and not for the better. In 1947 NYC vaccinated 6 million people in a month. This was for smallpox. -- nm* - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 11, 10:03 3
- "Extree! Extree! Line up now and get yer shot!" - JaxSean Jan 11, 10:13 2
  - I would camp out for the vaccine if they'd let me. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 11, 10:24
  - That DID happen, but so did this: - Andie Jan 11, 10:23
Official statement from ArchiveTeam about what their sweep of Parler included. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 11, 09:59
Closing out our calendar year 2020 household budget, ended up with some surprising figures - prayformojo Jan 11, 09:46 15
- Utilities down because the gas price is down and that usually trends electric and natural gas down too -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 11, 10:15
- (____!____) -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:56
- for me "dining out" down 52% and "groceries" up 22%. does "entertainment" count dining out? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 11, 09:55 6
  - we usually count dining out in Food -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 09:57 5
    - I have a category for Dining which is generally very little. This year under my weekly "support local business" plan, it's huge. -- nm - Meg Jan 11, 10:00
    - I'm more granular than are you, appar. (I have a separate category for books too bc I know I tend to overspend there.) -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 11, 09:58 3
      - "Boots (Regular)" "Boots (Sweater)" -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 10:00 2
        
        I don't even have a "shoes" line. isn't that nuts? I've been spending so little on clothes and shoes that... it would be overkill to sort sep. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 11, 10:12 1
        
        I do have "liquor" "beer" and "drinks out." so.... -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 11, 10:12
- that Media % though -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:49 5
  - They have an ungodly jigsaw puzzle addiction that must be fed. -- nm - David Jan 11, 10:06 1
    - this is true -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 10:21
  - that kept surprising me throughout the year - it ended up mainly being books my wife bought -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 09:50 2
    - who the heck reads books anymore? -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:52 1
      - She's just in it for the gold leaf. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 09:53
Yup. Got spare doses that'll go to waste and no one left "on the list"? Jab into the next willing person. -- (link) - Reagen Jan 11, 09:42 33
- Hit that quota! -- nm - Spawn Jan 11, 10:15
- I saw a thread about a guy who was at a CVS getting something random (hotpockets I think?) and they had extra doses and where just giving them out - decline Jan 11, 09:52 4
  - So you're saying I need to hang out at CVS more and eat hot pockets to get vaccinated? -- nm - oblique Jan 11, 10:22 2
    - You might find some chocolate hearts at the CVS. - Qale Jan 11, 11:08
    - exactly -- nm - decline Jan 11, 10:26
  - Yes. -- nm - David Jan 11, 10:05
- "Their shift was over and per protocol, they had discarded the doses." What kind of protocol is that? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 09:51 6
  - It's protocol to make sure expired doses aren't given out. But they need to figure out how to make sure they give out what's not expired. -- nm - pmb Jan 11, 09:56 5
    - I get tossing expired doses. That just sounds like "welp, it's 5pm, clock out and toss anything extra we have." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 10:01 4
      - "it's 5pm, we need to toss everything that hasn't been at -80 C all day." it spoils if it's out too long. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 11, 10:13 3
        
        I get what pmb is saying below, it's a learning curve, but the wording just seems like willful ignorance. - JaxSean Jan 11, 10:23 2
        
        Willful ignorance on Twitter? -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 10:33 1
        
        more willful ignorance on behalf of the vaccine administrators. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 11:08
- The Russians are pros at jabbing people with syringes without them noticing. Get them on the case! -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 09:49 1
  - Dark, but fair. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 10:00
- dammit, that's a frustrating thread -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 09:48
- They really should be pushing the Moderna vax (which doesn't have such special handling issues) to doctors (or some portion of it). My dad is 95, but - pmb Jan 11, 09:48
- Yup. This needs to be done better and there needs to be a way to get the expiring vaccine to anyone that wants it. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 11, 09:48
- I wonder if they’re in NY which has a $10k fine for vaccinating someone not on the list. - spamlet Jan 11, 09:46
- it is driving me CRAZY. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 09:46
- Bureaucracy will be civilization's undoing. -- nm - David Jan 11, 09:45 12
  - “The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 10:22
  - It's more like beer - the cause of, and the solution to all of life's problems. -- nm - Roger More Jan 11, 10:09
  - I think putting this on bureaucracy is only partially right. This is actually complicated and it's not as easy to implement flexible rules and meet - pmb Jan 11, 09:55 7
    - I think you're absolving people of making common sense-based mistakes. -- nm - David Jan 11, 10:05 2
      - I'm not. I'm suggesting that patience is needed and that balancing what seems like common sense with trying to achieve certain policy goals is not - pmb Jan 11, 10:08 1
        
        "Don't throw away vaccine doses" is something even a child should understand. This was an unforgivable mistake. -- nm - David Jan 11, 10:18
    - The consequences of someone getting their dose "out of order" are linear. The consequences of wasted doses are exponential. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 09:59 2
      - Understood. But the consequences of first come first served to achieve that are likely to overwhelm both the system and the reasonably preferred - pmb Jan 11, 10:06 1
        
        i don't know why they don't have an email or text list available for small local organizations and they just pick one and send an email "the first 50 - Andie Jan 11, 10:31
    - I think we also still need to leave some room for ‘messing it up on purpose’ as well. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:57
  - one of us - one of us -- nm - Strongbad Jan 11, 09:50
  - *a million people show up at the ER* I hear you might have some extra doses? -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 09:50
My fancy new office chair. Not bad for a librarian in a cubicle. -- (link) - mara Jan 11, 09:40 [youtube] 5
- Booo. I was expecting the Cyberpunk yellow SecretLab chair. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 10:13
- That’s a sexy chair that would do me no good since I still have a hard time actually letting my back use the seat’s back. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 10:01
- Not bad at all. I like the adjustable seat depth. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 11, 09:49
- Your office chair has it's own YouTube channel!!! -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 09:48
- Very nice. Trying to find one for MrsJax this week. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 09:48
This really is the strangest timeline. Someone carved "TRUMP" into a manatee -- (link) - TWuG Jan 11, 09:30 4
- I'm guessing there's not really a nice way to do that. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 09:45 1
  - Manatee was just sunning itself on the beach and fell asleep. -- nm - Mop Jan 11, 09:52
- Similar shape, tbh. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 09:30 1
  - "I saw it and immediately thought of him..." -- nm - David Jan 11, 09:37
Znu, from B2, while I completely agree there is a lot of overlap, I'm just trying to note and distinguish that there is a lot of top down lying going - pmb Jan 11, 09:29
LYC: So we're destined to travel again in Feb for college visit. Doing a trip to CO + TX and then back to Chicago. Flights are so cheap that when I - oblique Jan 11, 09:28 11
- where in Colorado? -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 09:31 10
  - Colorado springs this time. We're looking at Colorado College and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs - oblique Jan 11, 09:32 9
    - I grew up in Colorado Springs (3rd-8th grades). Loved it. - JaxSean Jan 11, 09:54 3
      - And it was at that time that Jax set the record time for the Manitou Incline. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 11, 10:08
      - Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Cave of the Winds, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods and Seven Falls are all visit-able in a single day. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:57 1
        
        eh, Cave of the Winds and Seven Falls are meh (to me). - JaxSean Jan 11, 10:05
    - If you have any spare time in Colorado, make sure to go to the Garden of the Gods -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:38 3
      - cosigned! it's such a cool place. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 09:49
      - Yep, right outside Colorado Springs. Beautiful. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:39
      - spoiler - Spawn Jan 11, 09:39
    - Check out THE Colorado Springs University while you are there. -- nm - Spawn Jan 11, 09:33
I think this may have been my favorite episode of Streaming Into the Void yet. We had a lot of fun with it. -- (link) - Mop Jan 11, 09:25 [spotify] 5
- There is no off button on my genius machine. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 09:29

Annnndddd there’s the call. Kid back on quarantine. - spamlet Jan 11, 09:19 6
- Ohio isn't quarantining for proximity anymore. So active cases stay home, but as long as we have masks and distances, we don't send home kids near em -- nm - Volnelk Jan 11, 09:55
- Today was my kids first day of senior year. First day in school since March. We'll see how it goes. -- nm - oblique Jan 11, 09:25
- You keep saying quarantine it starts not meaning anything. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:22 1
  - Quarantine! Quarantine! Quarantine! -- nm - Gramma Klump Jan 11, 10:06
- she should play the lottery with luck like that -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:22
- Ugh! -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 11, 09:22
David, me too. Allen’s completion percentage jumped 8-10% and he increased his YPA by like a full yard plus. That’s not how it’s supposed to go. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:12 5
- Right. I struggle to recall any NFL trade that paid such immediate dividends for both teams. - David Jan 11, 09:16 2
  - ML and I have another fun story (re: Jefferson) - Strongbad Jan 11, 09:19 1
    - Ha! He'll always skip his pick from now on. -- nm - David Jan 11, 09:20
- So much for the "you can't teach accuracy" theory. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 11, 09:15
- Plus, learning how to throw the ball helps. Who knew? -- nm - Spawn Jan 11, 09:14
Alabama or THE Ohio State tonight - Who You Got??!! -- nm - Beaker Jan 11, 09:08 17
- Bane. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 09:31
- Power outage. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 11, 09:16
- It's a pretty epic choke if Alabama loses. They're like four TDs better. However, it'd be a fitting end for this season for an 8-win team to be champs -- nm - David Jan 11, 09:13 1
  - Big 14 is sus. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 11, 09:18
- Alabama -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:10
- which ever team has the most coves. -- nm - Diva Jan 11, 09:10 1
  - yeah. they're definitely the strongest. -- nm - colin Jan 11, 10:33
