  1. First of five Christmases starts tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM sharp. The fifth will conclude at 6:30 PM on the 26th. Thankfully I am driving no further then 18 minutes from my house… the only problem is Hooks is 15 minutes away. 
     

    Godspeed everyone. The goal is not to make everyone (or anyone) happy, just less upset.

    We went with a large group in July that ordered a lot of every appetizer and we could hardly eat a main dish. Thai shrimp, tuna poke tacos, mini French dip, southern fried chicken sliders, and scallops. 🤤 

    Awesome. I just made reservations for a business visit in January. This place looks good.

    Oh, that color is from the blade of grass. I will try it. 

    Haha. Its actually pretty good. Well I say that. Maybe my palette just got used to it for the two months I was in Poland. 

    Fun fact. You can't buy the original vodka in the states because some ingredient isn't approved by FDA.

    Before 2010, Żubrówka was illegal in the United States because the grass it is made from contains coumarin which the FDA classifies as a "substances generally prohibited from direct addition or use as human food."[7][8] Since 2011, the makers of Żubrówka have made a version of the vodka from rye grain which aims to have a flavor similar to the original.

    I think there's a disconnect here.  No one is saying anyone who is asymptomatic and without known exposure should test.

    She was responding to someone who has chronic allergy symptoms that are similar to Covid.  So not asymptomatic.  That said if I had chronic symptoms that I was familiar with and had for years, I wouldn't be overly aggressive in testing for Covid.  But that's just me, and probably not what would be recommended by someone more official.

    That said, the NFL just adopted protocols similar to what you suggest.  Vaccinated players no longer have test at all unless they show symptoms.  Most college teams have done the same all year.

    I guess Aggy didn’t get the memo then…

    If you have been exposed, you should test.  Period.  

    I had sniffles because I was out in the cold.  However, those usually resolve themselves once I am warm.  If they do not, I would test.  That is exactly the fact pattern I had.  I did not feel bad, but my normal out in the cold sniffles turned into full blown congestion.  I tested, and I was positive.  I isolated, and within 4-5 days, my congestion was totally gone.

    Okay. I’d say majority of people will not know when they were exposed. So if asymptomatic they will go on with their lives without a test. 
     

    if Omicron truly is less virulent then we are reaching the point where asymptomatic people should not have to alter their lives at all. That means testing or isolating. Perhaps one of the professional sport leagues will be the first to take the lead here.

    You take a home test.  This isn't hard.  

    and when? When I cough once or I have the sniffles one morning? Or do I need to test 3x a week no matter what? 
     

    It goes without saying if you feel crummy, or have a fever, you test or simply isolate.  But what beyond that?

    I think you should be testing.  Maybe not every day, but at the first day of symptom onset and then at regular intervals in between.  Home testing is easy and there is no excuse for not testing.

    That is a no for me. If you are boosted and asymptomatic it’s time to go about your life and not worry about the result of a test.
     

    I’m sure as fuck not standing outside in the cold in NYC, for example, waiting to take a test.

    I see all the anti-vaxxers have decided to take a shit on the DT stats thread. 

    What definition of anti-vaxx are we using now? This one?

    It is difficult for me to keep up and know what we are talking about.

    Yeah, mine too. I easily look at least 10 years older than I did in my last one. Shitty lighting or something I guess.

    The physical photo taken at FedEx was fine. Whenever they processed the photo it became super overexposed. I’m actually kind of surprised it passed QC if they even have QC.

    My wife has about a half dozen "reminder" alarms set up on her phone.  She usually turns the volume down too low for her to hear them, ostensibly so that she doesn't bother anyone else.  And when she does hear them, she views them more as guidelines than firm deadlines.  She very literally thinks that time will magically bend for her.  It is... frustrating.

    My wife does the alarms but the volume is at 100. Thankfully I have learned you can call the phone to turn off the alarm without getting up.

    Maybe my wife has ADD, because she sure has the time blindness.  She has left the house 5 minutes before an appointment 30 minutes away, then wondered how she was late.  She's not intentionally being rude, she just has no feel for time.

    If only there was this device that almost everyone keeps on their person that can notify you when to leave and adjusts that notification based on traffic conditions. Fuck that would be helpful.
