- My pharma said the booster of Maderna is a half dose unless you have one of those immuno-compromise conditions -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 10:46

- But I wanna collect all three! -- nm - Qale Nov 15, 10:03
- I had a Pfizer vaccine but a Moderna booster on Saturday and MAN it floored me yesterday. - Volnelk Nov 15, 09:55 15
  - I had my 3rd Moderna shot on Wednesday and had absolutely no after-effects. Even the injection site was less tender than my flu shot. -- nm - Meg Nov 15, 10:07 1
    - My 3x Pfizer was the same. Zero effect -- nm - oblique Nov 15, 10:26
  - Boosted Friday, it was NOT like the other two -- nm - Epiphany Nov 15, 09:59 2

  - I was pfizered prev and got modernaed and it kicked my ass for three days. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 15, 09:57 7
    - I've been putting it off because "I can't afford downtime from work right now." -- nm - Max Nov 15, 10:22 6
      - anecdotally, I think that switching is more "downtime causing" than is sticking with your orig. for what that's worth. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 15, 10:39 5
        
        but most recommended, which causes me to wait, which results in me choosing the lesser of three options and going unboostered. - Max Nov 15, 10:43 4
        
        I think we honestly will be boosting every six months for basically ever. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 15, 10:47 3
        
        I"m ok with that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:50 2

    - The virologist said honestly it's kind of splitting hairs at this point. All boosters are good. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:48
- Didn't 'the table' suggest Moderna if you got Pfizer or J&J previously, but Pfizer if you got Moderna previously? -- nm* - ty97 Nov 15, 09:51 6
  - I didn't ask him about that, but I'm sure he would agree. He as said it's better to mix. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:43
  - The one I saw had Moderna x 3 as the best followed by Pfizer x2 with a Moderna booster. -- nm - Krusty Nov 15, 09:53 4
    - This table was to help determine which booster to get. - ty97 Nov 15, 09:56 3
      - There is a flaw in that study that probably favors Moderna. - the wrong element Nov 15, 10:11
      - The one I saw said different for the booster. -- nm - Krusty Nov 15, 10:00 1
        
        This. It's good to have a mix of antibodies. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 10:43

- No idea what happened to her -- nm - spamlet Nov 15, 09:50 1
  - She had the chance to get paid while showing us what she is. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 15, 10:04
- Wait, you're saying Bill Barr knew voter fraud wasn't real? -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 09:48 2
  - He said as such. For as much as he carried Trump’s water, he was pretty strong on the “This election was fair and he lost” train. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 15, 09:59 1
    - yep. -- nm - Diva Nov 15, 10:34

- I do not even want this guy's newsletter. -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 09:30
- Love it. Telling people that they should take a vaccine is violating their civil liberties. Making them be the same religion? No problem. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 15, 09:29

DTL: I thought I had a decent matchup against my first round opponent and I was right! - spamlet Nov 15, 09:13 5
- Put a hurting on another weak squad. Buried him in the first half with 66 and then just coasted. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 15, 09:50
- Woohoo! Your game was an instant classic. I got my first ever Winners Bracket NTT win. My reward is a matchup against the #1 team. -- nm - Dano Nov 15, 09:31 2
  - They barely beat the 16th seed! Probably tired from last year's championship run. -- nm - spamlet Nov 15, 10:01 1
    - I started to do some scouting to decide if I should adjust my settings, but I decided that I'm just going to stick with what got me here. -- nm - Dano Nov 15, 10:26

- "guilty?" I thought it was a civil case? -- nm - ty97 Nov 15, 09:22 2
  - Four civil cases. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 10:09
  - Guessing the term is used differently here to refer to being found liable for damages. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 15, 09:32

Investigators track down Cleveland bank teller who stuffed $215,000 into a paper bag and vanished 52 years ago -- (link) - Beaker Nov 15, 08:01 6
- Law people, I'm curious why they'd still be going after him if the statute of limitations on bank robbery is 5 years. What could he have been charged - Krusty Nov 15, 08:16 4
  - A statute of limitations can be extended ("tolled") if the accused fled the jurisdiction. - ReluctantCynic Nov 15, 08:35 3
    - Thanks! I've wondered about this for years and I really appreciate the detailed info. - Krusty Nov 15, 08:42 2

        My friend aside, I find the whole idea and laws fascinating. - Krusty Nov 15, 09:08
