My role model
STEVE SMITH had wayyyyy too much brandied eggnog over the weekend, so I have managed to seize the Links back.
Yesterday, right after I visited my elderly parents (of course) I started running down, hard and fast…cough, aches, runny nose, etc. Fook. I slept 10 hours and went and got the swab up the nose this morning…no rapid tests available and no home test kits anywhere. So, I get to isolate until I get results (24 hours, usually). I kind of hope I have it to get this over with, but I sure don’t want my parents to have any issues. This rambling is a result of my messed up head, and preemptory excuse making for the poor links.
- Paging Not Adahn, Not Adahn to the red prophesy phone.
- Maybe New York should listen to this guy.
- For sportsball trash talk, this is kind of mild.
- Civil war in Europe sure looks different now.
I am going to go lie down now – go OT all you want.
I’ve been told not to First. That every ounce of energy needs to be conserved for The First. But like a pregnant smoker, I just can’t stop.
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
“but I sure don’t want my parents to have any issues”
That would be my main concern too.
I think that would be most people’s thoughts too.
I hope you improve and recover quickly Switzy, along with other glibs whatever their ailment, and your parents are fine. Found out from my folks that three of their friends (and people I’ve known my entire live) ended up the in the hospital recently, and one passed away.
PATRICK ROTHFUSS CONFIRMS NO DOORS OF STONE IN 2022*
Says he’ll burn it to the ground before he lets you get your god damn hands on it.
*not really, or at least not yet.
Heh, anyone with sense has stopped expecting any more books from him at all.
Who?
He wrote a fantasy novel many moons ago (which I read and really liked, but have almost completely forgotten, its been so freakin’ long*). I said I would wait for him to finish the story before I picked it up again. It looks like that ain’t ever gonna happen. He’s written one more, in 2012, and something short about a side character. And . . . that’s it, in 12 years.
*2009
Shame. I liked the first two books of the series. Too bad he studied at the George R.R. Martin school of writing series.
cough, aches, runny nose, etc
Ouch. Sounds familiar, hope you feel better soon.
I kind of hope I have it to get this over with, but I sure don’t want my parents to have any issues
Yup. This is why I am sitting at home while my wife and son are enjoying vacation time elsewhere. Still waiting for test results.
Still sounds like a vacation to me…
Difficulty: He’s in NJ.
Well, sort of…
Same here. I took relatives to a Christmas party, on the way home one of them just started coughing uncontrollably on the car. I feel like I can’t take enough vitamins right now. No doubt you just have some other random cold. Annoying, but you will be well.
Went and got a gum graft this morning – took some skin off the roof of my mouth to graft it on around some of my other teeth to try and stop further gum recession. Should know if it’s taken properly in about a week when they pull the stitches. Drugged me up surprisingly well – for the mouth with no other impacts on driving, etc. Also got some pain pills that I may or may not need to use the next few days.
Depending how well it works out, I may do a couple more on other areas of my mouth the next year or so….about $450 out of pocket after insurance.
Don’t mind being on a soft food diet for the next few days, but a little tough not being able to eat anything hot for the first 24 hours or so – wouldn’t mind some soup or hot tea right about now.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Not too bad right now. Hopefully I can lose some weight this week – try some low impact walking tomorrow after work.
Don’t think there’s any issues with prescribed medication at work as long as I’ve got the paperwork.
As someone thats been using “smokeless” tobacco far too long, I suspect that procedure is in my near future.
Never used tobacco – I think some of it is genetic (my Dad has had a few root canals) and also not flossing enough. You can catch it at a point – and strengthen what’s left but they’re not actually replacing it over the exposed tooth root – just grafting it onto the gum below it to try and stop that part from receding.
Sounds horrific, partly because I might have similar in the future. Best of luck on your recovery, don’t mess it up
Get a Waterpik – it reversed years of neglect on my teeth, way less tedious and more effective than flossing
I’ve had good checkups since switching to water flossing.
Got a waterpik last year – but I’d already been advised to look into this maybe 8 years earlier – at least since I’d been in the navy.
Waterpik does help, but still not the most convenient thing to use and I need to use it a lot more.
A former coworker went through that surgery. He had some bleeding problems afterwards, but once that was taken care of, he was fine.
I hope your recovery goes well.
Glibertopia North, folks. C’mon. You know you want to.

Which one of those is that place you’ve been trying to convince us to buy?
That one seems to have dropped off the listings. I see the agent’s sign is still up – guess someone may have a contract on it.
I lived in the area many years ago.
Feel better, Swissy
As someone that feels like he’s crossing the finish line after 2 weeks of ‘vid, I pray that even if you’re (+), you have mild symptoms.
My pCR results from my VA came back as “POSITIVE CRITICAL HIGH” w/e that means.
Oh, and since I had a check-up at the same VA the week prior, Im pretty sure thats where I picked this up. None of the employees nor my co-workers were sick while I was dying on the couch.
“POSITIVE CRITICAL HIGH”
That’s good news, right?
If Swissy is going to lie down, that means we get to pun with impunity!
I’d be careful, there’s a lot of holes in that theory, but I’m gonna stay neutral.
C’mon. You know you want to.

“Alex Jones’s wife is pictured bleary-eyed in her mugshot after spending Christmas Day in jail following arrest for domestic violence at their Austin home
Alex Jones’ wife, Erika Wulff Jones, looks somber and tearful in her mugshot taken after being arrested for domestic violence on Christmas Eve.
Pictured with extra long eyelashes, manicured eyebrows and highlighted hair, Erika was arrested after assaulting a family member at their home in Austin, Texas. It’s not yet clear who the victim is.
Alex Jones, the Infowars founder who faces financial ruin after losing four defamation lawsuits brought by parents of victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, said after his wife’s arrest that the incident stemmed from a ‘medication imbalance.’
Travis County Sheriff’s deputies took Wulff Jones, 43, into custody and booked her into an Austin jail around 8.45pm on Friday.”

Gay frogs?
The Alex Jones lawsuit thing is pretty crazy. I think Michael Malice or someone else interviewed his lawyer last month. Looks like they’re really going after him for some crazy stuff – I know he disavowed the Sandy Hook truthers when I saw him on Rogan a few years ago.
I think that was after the lawsuits were filed.

I hope that was all in the close captioning.
I either have it, or a head-cold with the same symptoms. Not bad enough to seek help and I don’t care/need to test.
The primary reason I tested was that the morning I was feeling poorly, I took Tres Ver. 2.0 to school and spent a 30 minute ride with him in my truck.
And Tres Sr is 82. Despite his being 2X-vaxxed, I wasnt going to be around knowing I had the Slant Syph.
Yah, my circumstances are fairly rare. In y’all’s case I would probably test.
Yeah, I was heading to Christmas with the in-laws both of whom have health issues. And I was in close proximity to a few people the day before.
I’m also planning on getting an anti-body test at some point, in hope I can use it as a anti-vaxx card.
#MeToo but I hope my proof of being icky also carries some weight.
I didn’t get hammered with symptoms like you do. Mine’s been mostly fatigue and brain fog.
“Slant Syph”
Genuine LOL.
Well, I wanted to say “this US Gov’t and Anthony Fauci, NIH-funded, gain-of-function bullshit that was let loose perhaps on purpose or not” virus. But I chose brevity.
And “Slope Slop” seems coarse to me.
It baffles SCIENCE!
We know the virus causes symptoms ranging from headaches, fever and disorientation to nausea and vomiting, and even loss of taste or smell. While scientists continue to piece together who is more likely to get hit with these outcomes, they still lack answers about why some experience serious illness and others don’t.
Age is definitely the biggest correlation for severe disease, Gigi Gronvall, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told CNET. “But there have been 29-year-olds who have died, children who have died, when all indications suggest they should have had a mild disease course.”
All indications suggest this claim is transparent bullshit.
Age correlates. Good, good. What else?

While researchers have been studying mRNA vaccines “for decades,” according to the CDC, this marks the first time they’ve been made available to the public. Scientists continue to gather information on how effective they are — and how long until their effectiveness begins to decline.
“We are definitely still figuring that out,” Gronvall said. “We’re seeing that protection wanes earlier than six months, which is why boosters are being recommended at six months.”
As new variants like the quick-spreading omicron emerge, she added, “whether the booster will be sufficient for a long period of time or not is something we still need to uncover.”

They’re doing their damnedest to give guests a feeling of being under Imperial oppression.

Ixnay on the gloating
ADDENDUM: Headline in the Washington Post this morning: “Thousands who ‘followed the rules’ are about to get covid. They shouldn’t be ashamed.”
First, we don’t even capitalize “Covid” anymore? I needed shock treatment before I stopped writing ‘COVID-19’ on every reference.
Second . . . that’s what we’ve been insisting for a very, very long time. Unsurprisingly, the national media had much less interest in emphasizing this point when southern red states had high rates of Covid-19 infection, but they’re trumpeting it now that northern blue states have high rates of Covid-19 infection.
Every red blooded American rejoices when bad things happen to bad people, and that’s only fair. But now that Biden voters are getting it, we need to show some compassion.
It’s almost like the “vaccines” don’t actually do what they promised us.
Trump’s vaccines were ineffective and unsafe. Thankfully we have Biden and Fauci’s boosters, which are modern medical miracles.
Plus, Trump was a piker with his shots. You got one or two, tops. Now you get 4+ boosters, with no end in sight. More shots means more gooder.

Just saw on the news that they are saying 2 days before symptoms and 3 days afterward are the days when you are most contagious. Two people in my house have covid and I have been acting as no symptoms=not contagious. Shit changes by the hour.
As somebody that got tinnitus about 2 weeks after the J&J shot I’m shocked on many levels by this story. I’m not claiming causation, but it came two weeks after the shot and has pretty much soured me on any boosters.

The irony is that the very thing Moon is trying to protect — her career as a musician — is what’s being held back by her decision not to get a second shot.
Irony? Fuck off, it is the fascist lockdowners and their media enablers LIKE YOU who are holding back her career. In multiple different contexts you would call this “victim shaming”. In this case, that is exactly correct.

3 years federal time for her would make me happy.
I pity the flight attendants. They shouldn’t have to deal with this garbage.
Ehh, domestic flight attendants have been a major cause of making air travel miserable. I don’t travel often so maybe someone who does can correct me, but it certainly seems like there is a world of difference between flight attendants for American Airlines and something like Korean Air or Qatar Airways.
I recall an article someone posted here not too long ago where a flight attendant complained that she is a professional positioned on the plane to save your life and not to serve you drinks. Last time I flew, there was a beautiful young lady attendant who was very friendly and nice to everyone. The other was a scowling harridan that embodied the above quote.
Last time I flew, in the Before Times, foreign carriers’ flight attendants (even in their domestic market) and US carriers flight attendants on international flights were generally pretty good. US carriers domestic flights? Hit or miss.
It was a huge contrast flying business class on FinnAir, landing in JFK, and switching to American.
It transitioned from clean, friendly, and professional to nasty, inattentive, and snarky.
?
They have an inflated sense of importance.
“I pity the flight attendants.”
I don’t. The times I have flown, they were all bossy and aloof.

Somebody has been drinking his own koolaid
Former NFL quarterback turned activist Colin Kaepernick lost out on a lucrative business deal with a social justice-driven lender after he refused to promote the business on national television.
The failure of Kaepernick’s special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Mission Advancement Corp. to finalize a deal with The Change Company, a lender that prioritizes serving minority borrowers, has sparked questions over how much businesses stand to benefit from partnering with the washed-up athlete, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“The Change Company would proudly consider a partnership with Mr. Kaepernick—yesterday, today, or tomorrow,” Change Company CEO Steve Sugarman said in a statement after the deal ruptured.
In correspondence with executives at Kaepernick’s firm, Sugarman was more direct.
“There is a real question about whether there is [a] halo effect that translates into investor dollars,” Sugarman wrote in a December email to Mission Advancement Corp. executives. “We need to question that assumption.”
——-
The proposed merger between Kaepernick’s SPAC and Change fell apart after the prominent activist refused to sit for an interview with George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America” in which he could have promoted the minority-focused lender. Kaepernick also refused to do other interviews announcing and celebrating the merger, according to WSJ.
Contracts is slavery.
Performing up to expectations isn’t really on brand for Kaepernick.
Sadly, it’s pretty much the only way to see our rellies in Normandy and The Netherlands ever again, so at some point I’ll have to. Goddammit.

The QE2 still sails (or at least it used to, prior to The Pandemic That Changed Everything™) but that still means that we’d have to drive for four or five days just to get to NYC and then spend another 5 to 7 days on the Atlantic Crossing.

Senile quack blathers
Skyrocketing COVID-19 cases hobbled U.S. airline staff on Monday, causing hundreds of flight cancellations, and prompted the country’s top infectious disease expert to suggest the government consider a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel.
——-
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top U.S. infectious disease expert, on Monday also recommended the federal government consider a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel.
“That is just another one of the requirements that I think is reasonable to consider,” Fauci told MSNBC in an interview.
U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking to reporters on Monday, declined to say whether he endorsed a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel.
I thought Ballgag Joe already mandated shots for crews. How does a passenger mandate fix that?
How does a passenger mandate fix that?

If there are any wells around here what need to be poisoned…
President Biden’s chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Monday appeared to accuse former President Trump of “poisoning the well” on vaccines during his administration.
Fauci, during an interview on CNN’s “New Day,” said he was “stunned” after Trump spoke recently about getting a vaccine booster shot and was booed by some supporters.
——-
“Which means that you know, poisoning the well early on about — even not being enthusiastic or outright not pushing — vaccines or discouraging vaccines, now has a lingering effect,” Fauci added.
The top infectious disease official noted that some of Trump’s most ardent followers are not heeding his calls for people to get vaccinated.
“Really tells you the strength of the divisiveness in our society, which I’ve always said to me is the biggest stumbling block about getting this pandemic under control,” Fauci said.
He added that there “is no place for divisiveness politically when you have a classical historical, unprecedented pandemic. I mean, it just doesn’t make any sense.”
Senile quack needs to be fitted for a straitjacket.
He is an evil lying scumbag piece of shit, no way around it.
“Really tells you the strength of the divisiveness in our society, which I’ve always said to me is the biggest stumbling block about getting this pandemic under control,” Fauci said.
Translation: How dare some people have an opinion contrary to my own! If you’re not onboard the Fauci train, you are divisive!

Tales from Boostertown: J&J edition.
I reluctantly got the J&J vaccine in June 2021 so I could keep my job as a defense contractor. At the time, I had no evident ill effects at all; just a little pain at the injection site that would be normal just from being stuck with a needle.
At the time, I thought J&J was better because it was less experimental shot (adenovirus incapable of replicating itself, not one of the mRNA “Let’s see if we can make the patient into an antibody factory!” type). Also, it appeared to be getting pushed less by politicians, and it was one shot.
Then we get to December and the “Booster! Booster!!” cries increased. My new employer is a contractor for the DoE, so we still have to show proof of vax or get axed. Furthermore, the CEO seems to be a true believer and makes us wear masks (almost no one in my building bothers, but we have them handy just in case) and he has already started making noises about the booster possible becoming compulsory.
When I saw that the press and politicians are AGAIN expressing doubts about J&J (they didn’t bribe the right people?) I decided to get the J&J booster now before it’s pulled from availability.
That day (a few weeks ago), I had the shot at 9:30 AM. No problems at all until my husband and I were at dinner and I suddenly felt dizzy, tunnel vision, ear ringing, and generally nauseated. We had to leave. That night I was in so much muscle and joint pain, with creepy-crawly skin and a fever, that I just could not sleep and didn’t want to move. I finally gave up and took a vicodin I’d been saving for a rainy day. That helped a bunch.
The next day I felt fine, but man, I will NOT get another booster, and i will NOT get a mRNA shot under any circumstances. I suppose my body’s all out war on the booster shot should be a “good” sign that the vaccine took, but now I really dread getting exposed to COVID in the wild lest the reaction be that unpleasant again.
It just didn’t seem like a healthy experience.
