- why pay for something I can get for free from another site? -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 11:10 12
  - They still do a fair number of exclusive profiles and features, and there's also their columnists. - Reagen Jan 18, 11:12
  - presumably they will stop giving their articles to external sites -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 11:11 9
    - oh noes, wherever will I get the news! -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 11:11 8
      - the NYT reporting tends to be more in depth story for story than the headlines you would get from AP or Reuters - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 11:14 3

      - seriously: I'm sure someone will pay for it and then c&p them if you really need to see them - see - espn Insider -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 11:13
      - most brand loyalty with papers is about columnists. You'd be surprised. - Reagen Jan 18, 11:13 2
        
        I can't name a columnist besides bittman. I prefer the nyt to most others because of their weird charts and maps and stuff. -- nm - amanda Jan 18, 11:16 1
        
        that's fair. They're among the best at this. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 11:17

I forgot to schedule vaccine appointments in time. Shit. Hopefully I won't get malaria, typhoid, or tetnus. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 11:06 25
- i think you take pills for malaria, and the shot you SHOULD have got was for Hep A and Hep B. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 11:13 8
  - Hep B is a 3 course shot spread out over like 6 months.. soo.. yeah. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 18, 11:16 1
    - but she could certainly get the first before she goes (is it three, i thought it was 2?) - Andie Jan 18, 11:17

      - Yeah or even an urgent care center can probably do them. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 18, 11:16
- Are these 1 dose shots or multiple doses? Because if they are 1 dose (which I believe at least tetanus is) you can still get them. Just came up random - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 18, 11:12 3
  - I thought you were supposed to get tetanus shots after the fact, like if you were bitten by a dog or something. -- nm - Loyola Jan 18, 11:13 2
    - No, you should get them every 10 years. But you can get a booster after an incident too. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 18, 11:15
    - only if you haven't had a shoot in the past 10 years. or, you just keep your shots up to date and not worry about it. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 11:14
- tetnus is really long lasting no shots in the last decade or so? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 18, 11:11 2
  - I think I need a booster -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 11:13
  - Yeah, I believe they are good for 10 years. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 18, 11:12
- You should get one of those panic alarms that when you press a button everyone can hear it within 500 yards. - Loyola Jan 18, 11:11
