Funny how Long COVID was debunked earlier and then experienced a renaissance after the vaccines were introduced.
Long COVID also effects voting.
That’s OK. We’ll just submit preprinted ballots for those suffering from Long Covid. To do otherwise would just disenfranchise those poor sufferers.
The brain fog will do that.
Huh, kind of like the spike protein causes vascular damage across multiple systems. What else has spike protein?

Well, apparently I’ve had long COVID for over 10 years if it’s the reason I lost my hair.
When I was young, there was a virus from China that was going around. It also caused fatigue, loss of motivation, and brain fog. They called it Dragon Ass.
No cure either…
Sounds like brain cloud. The only known cure is to jump into a volcano.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a combination (vaccinated+covid infection) causing some of these symptoms.
My wife and I definitely lost hair after getting the vid. She has experienced significant cognitive effects as well.
Wow. That’s quite serious and very different from my experience and the people I know.
Sounds like MonkeyPox!
Sorry, to hear that.
Why isn’t Swiss News in Swiss?
If I have trouble with the dialect, I presume almost everyone here would be puzzled by it as well. (I know, they write in Hoch Deutsch…)
My German cousins, native speakers all, have trouble with Schwyzerdutsch.

Aren’t the Swiss supposed to automatically switch to standard German when they talk to somebody from outside their valley or canton?

“The research also identified key demographic groups and behaviors that seem to suggest which people are at increased risk of developing long COVID, including women, younger people, and individuals of Black, mixed or other ethnic groups.”
Minorities and women hardest hit?
“Also, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, smokers, and people who are overweight or obese, as well as individuals with a wide range of pre-existing health conditions, were associated with persistent post-COVID infection symptoms.”
Health is wealth. Poor people are less healthy. So are smokers, people who are overweight or obese, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. They are more likely to have sequelae or longer recovery times from any disease. This isn’t anything unique to covid.
The diagnostic criteria has a tremendous amount of overlap with another medical condition called “getting old”, which is also the strongest correlated variable with COVID death and severe illness. Also since when is “brain fog” a medical diagnosis? They used to make fun of that kind of thing. (In case robc returns from the morning links, Joe vs. the Volcano was a tolerable Tom Hanks flick)

Damned with the faintest of praise.
I’ve been seeing various doctors for some ongoing stuff for years and I’ve literally used the words “brain fog” to describe some of it and I was always written off for stress or mental health (which is probably true). Now suddenly it’s a symptom of COVID and perfectly acceptable to say and be taken seriously. I’ve had docs seriously ask if I think COVID might be causing stuff I’ve had since 2014. I have zero faith in the medical establishment.
COVID, it’s so hot right now.

Maybe you’re pregnant.
If I am I’ve been pregnant longer than Brochettaward has been promising this miraculous First.
When my sister was in college the doctor tried to tell her she might be pregnant. She had to explain to him that there was an important part of that process that hasn’t happened.
She had mono.

Neat!
What color did you get?
Gold,
I thought I should get a tone the opposite of my daily watch (silver). The watch is such a change form the clunky, heavy, giant, watches everyone started wearing over the past 20 years. Other than some arm hair pulling from the band, it is very light and comfortable.
What’s your DD?
(sorry if I’ve asked before, I’ve been away for a while and forgotten a few usernames; I’m a watch junkie)
I have a 2013 or so Japan only Casio Edifice EQB. I wanted a solar, compass, and world time in a nice reliable package. It also has the G-Shock mvmt to prevent me from breaking it. I broke a lot of watches in my day.
Nice!
Is it still going on the original battery? With some of the solar Casios of that vintage, I heard tell that the batteries they shipped with went TU quickly and Casio gave the battery supplier what for (long since resolved).
My G-Shock solar is still on the original battery. Purchased in August 2011.
Amazing watch.
Correction: it is a EQW A1200DB.
I couldn’t find the right model until I looked on the back of the case.
https://y3p9n5g8.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Casio-EQW-A1200DB-1AJF-5325.png
No battery issues to date. Worked really well and looks good.
I like it. That’s a fairly beefy boy at 44mm though. Stark contrast with your new pick up.
I’m down to only a couple of quartz pieces nowadays. No solar for me though. I have too many watches and don’t go enough places to wear them regularly, so it would probably sit in my watch case seeing very little light and sitting on a low charge for lengthy stretches of time, which helps bring about the premature death of the battery (or capacitor, as the case may be).
I keep the box open to keep it charged.

Well, only for those “present in” California. But that allows any nutjob parent to transport their kid to California and claim refugee status for that kid on grounds that the kid is trans.
I suspect this will also come with a provision directing state law enforcement agencies to not cooperate with out-of-state kidnapping/runaway claims when the kid claims to be trans.
And what about the feds? Will the Biden administration ignore the Federal Kidnapping Act?
The real question is: what if the kid is named Scott, and has Dredd locks?
I’m generally against laws, and restricting doctors from doing what they think is best best, but this situation has gotten so out of hand, especially in regards to prepubescent FTM, that I’m in favor of prohibiting medical transitioning for minors. There are cases of MTF who transitioned very early and are happy with it, but it’s a tiny minority withing a tiny minority.
I find it somewhat ironic that several states have “conversion therapy” bans in place disallowing licensed therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists from using talk therapy and psychoanalysis to try to psych their patients into being attracted to the opposite sex instead of the same sex, but will allow a physician to prescribe HRT for a 6 year old boy because he prefers to play with Barbie dolls instead of GI Joe.
Long COVID sufferers are experiencing a broader array of symptoms than previously thought, including hair loss and sexual dysfunction, as well as fatigue, breathing difficulties and brain fog, according to new research.
The British study, published Monday in Nature Medicine, found that patients with previous infection from SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus reported 62 symptoms much more frequently 12 weeks after initial infection than did people with no history of COVID-19.

“After the House passed a bill last week to codify same-sex marriage rights – with the help of 47 House Republicans – the Senate is expected to take up the legislation.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat who is gay, has been leading the charge to get 10 Republicans to join Democrats to ensure the bill can survive an expected GOP-led filibuster threat.”

I’m not a lawyer and haven’t had a tremendous amount of free time to study the rulings and specifics of the Dobbs decision, but as I understand it, wasn’t the decision made based on the issue not being a federal matter in the first place? If they think Obergefell is going to be overturned on the same grounds, wouldn’t you need a constitutional amendment to codify gay marriage federally?
IDK
My point was that the Democrats just virtue-signaled and twiddled their thumbs on gay marriage, otherwise it would have been legal in states like Maryland and Illinois long before Obergefell.
It’s
Oops, not sure how I just posted that.
Anyway… It’s not quite the same. Unlike abortion, nobody questions whether or not marriage is a fundamental right. So the court just said that fundamental rights have to be applied equally. If straight people can get married, so can gay people, because the practice is fundamentally identical except for the gender of the participants.
It’s also a matter of reliance. Gay people who are already married rely upon the ruling for many aspects of their lives.
The full faith and credit clause should have (and likely would have, given a few more years) rendered that a moot point, but the lgbtqwerty activists wanted immediate gratification, and the court as constituted at the time couldn’t entertain that line of reasoning lest it blow up the state-by-state gun permit regime.
That’s one difference, but there are others as well, and the legal reasoning for both gay marriage and abortion were fairly uniquely acrobatic. I don’t see Obergefell being overturned on the same grounds as Roe, but if it were, I don’t think a federal remedy short of an amendment would be an effective way to address it. But like I said, I may not be 100% on point on the Dobbs reasoning.
As a libertarian I feel that marriage should be something the couple does within their community of faith or culture, and the government should have nothing to do with that.
It is up to the individual states to recognize and register domestic partnerships, and those could be entered into by persons not in romantic relationships.
Before state-sanctioned gay marriages, gay people married in their own churches; those unions were not generally recognized by courts, employers, hospitals (for visitation), etc.
“Marriage” or non-business partnerships should be done by contract.
Agreed. And it may not just be a contract with two members. So if you have a church marriage, the church may have a say in how it dissolves.
Also, vows are an oral contract, so be fucking careful what you say.
I’m thinking about the tax implications of a partnership, which may or may not require registration with the state.
So an oral contract wouldn’t be provable to the IRS, for example.
Yes, because no one has ever gotten a prenup, or written out vows beforehand…
But while the prenup may be, the vows aren’t legally binding. That is why no-fault divorce exists.
Apparently, pre-nups are hard to enforce, too.
“oral contract”
hawt
My church has a special religious dissolution of a marriage, but there is nothing legal about it.
“As a libertarian I feel that marriage should be something the couple does within their community of faith or culture, and the government should have nothing to do with that.”
That was never going to happen.
One member of the OK house pushed it when it was obvious gay marriage was going to become the law of the land.
IIRC, the writers at that site that some of us used to visit had apoplectic fits about that proposal because reducing the state’s role in marriage for the wrong reasons was icky or something.
I wonder when the state (writ large) got involved in the marriage business? My understanding is it used to be only the churches, at least in Europe, and that the government merely recognized those as opposed to the state issuing licenses and collecting fees.
In some medieval periods, all anybody needed was to say something about marrying this other person. They had to be of age, both willing (i.e., no coercion), and not related. You may or may not wish to register it with the church.
I would guess it’s when they started passing laws that referenced marriage (such as tax laws), and codifying common law marriages.
From what I recall, it began gradually in the 14th century in England and Wales as a form of public-private partnership where the local parishes would publish their marriage announcements and register the publication with the local government. The way we do marriage today wasn’t really a thing until the 18th century.
The very first laws ever written — in Sumerian cuneiform — were about marriage.
Probably during the Wars of the Reformation when states were exerting their authority over the church.
Interestingly, the Puritans were the opposite. As part of their rejection of all things Catholic, they rejected marriage as a sacrament. So, it was a civil contract to be performed by a magistrate not a minister.
My curiosity piqued, I did a little looking. I was kinda almost correct. It seems that:
And furthermore:
Where does prima nocta come in?
“Massachusetts began requiring marriage licenses”
The ancient Sumerians thought that was wicked retarded.
At its core, marriage is about property and consolidating power.
It’s also about exchanging a depreciating asset for an annuity.

I wrote up an article. A trip report on Cheyenne Frontier Days.
It is in the system, I will officially submit tomorrow after standard 24 hour marination time.
Thank you! We’re short on content this week.
Readers, expect a lot of travelogue articles. It’s vacation season so that’s what folks are turning in.
Having dabbled in writing political articles in college and now standing firm in the conviction that I have absolutely nothing to say on any given topic that hasn’t already been said with more eloquence and profundity by a clearer thinking and more intelligent mind, probably more than 1,000 years ago, I have never submitted anything for publication here. However, if you’re short on content, my recent experience trying to hunt down an affordable phone that runs Lineage OS and will work on AT&T’s network with their new Nazi regime of whitelisting only certain phone models after the 3G shutdown combined with my general hatred of Big Tech, surveillance capitalism, and the surveillance state has had me a bit rage-y. I could maybe throw together something about escaping the botnet if it would interest anyone. It would basically just be me ranting about all the alternative services, software, and hardware that I prefer over the mainstream botnet.

So I had a cool time this weekend taking my nephew to Kennedy Space Center to see a SpaceX launch. Part of the attraction at KSC is the chance to hear from an astronaut about his/her experiences (and you’ll never believe who NASA has lined up this week).

“Well, it turns out that milk comes out of its colloidal suspension in microgravity,” he explained.

I called out to the guy whose shift was just ending. “Yevgeni,” I said, “I can’t find any milk for my coffee.”
Yevgeni comes floating down to the galley, sticks his hand in a small cubbyhole, pulls out a little container, and hands it to me. He tells me “In space, no one can — here use cream.”

“Americans of all stripes are coming to believe that the constitutionally-sanctioned processes of governance can no longer limit autocratic power plays.

No link to a TV news blurb but this was just seen and made me go wut:
NJ apparently has a new suicide law. A review of the demographics having taken advantage of it concluded that it was not “equitable”.
What?
So they have to start murdering whatever victimhood demo doesn’t commit suicide frequently enough?
i assume those who are chosen to be murdered would have some sort of defect. You know for the improvement of the species.
The rate of suicide is highest in middle-aged white men.
But that’s probably not what they meant.
The chirpy newshead didn’t give an opinion but yes it was mostly older white men. And yes, they almost certainly mean that not enough non-whiteys are “aware of their options” or some shit.
To be fair, assisted suicide in the states where it is legal is becoming something of a privilege for the at least modestly wealthy because the anti-death penalty activists have succeeded in making it all but impossible to import secobarbital and pentobarbital to the United States, and consequently a lethal dose costs around $10,000 whereas it was about $200 back when Oregon first legalized assisted suicide in the late ’90s. Maybe we’ll have to start subsidizing assisted suicide for minorities.
To be also fair, this is an issue I am torn on.
Assisted suicide in general, or just who pays for it?
I’m 100% pro assisted suicide myself. My single vote contributed in some small way to legalizing it in Washington State. My parents were both in favor as well, and my mom in particular wished to make use of it when her time came (unfortunately it came too suddenly and we weren’t able to do things that way). It’s the way I want to go when my time comes if it’s feasible. I’m sympathetic to the arguments about physicians and family members pressuring people into it, and I’m further troubled by the incongruity of my stance on the issue with the religion I’m supposed to be practicing. But just like with most other regulatory issues, I firmly believe that the consequences of prohibition are worse. For me it’s no different than the “opioid epidemic”. I don’t think it’s worth the trade off of preventing people who need large quantities of pain medication to deal with debilitating illnesses to make it only marginally more difficult for some street junkie to get a fix. Similarly, I don’t think it’s worth the trade off of denying a peaceful death to the terminally ill (or anyone else, for that matter) if they so desire to make it marginally more difficult for suicidal people to kill themselves or to make it marginally more difficult for familial vultures to speed up the death of a loved one to get access to their money a little faster. The old Thomas Jefferson quip: “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.”
This, a good friend of mine ate a bullet earlier this year, he had his reasons but as you say that shouldn’t matter, reasons or not what burns my ass about his choice of departure is that his wife had to discover that mess and some other people had to clean it up, had he had the option of just taking some pills and being done with it all so much the better.
Sorry to hear about your friend, that’s tragic. Not necessarily something I would have factored into the topic either, but yeah, it’s definitely easier on loved ones not having to see something like that. Obviously they would have been grieved either way, but that certainly doesn’t help at all.
He had other options that weren’t as messy, including pills.
It’s substantially more difficult (and more painful) to kill yourself with the sort of pills that can still be legally obtained than most people realize. Barbiturates are the first choice in every place where assisted suicide is allowed. If you’re going to DIY, injecting a large dose of heroin or fentanyl is a better bet than pills, although that’s not foolproof either, and while the person who finds you won’t have to deal with the same kind of mess you would with a firearm, they’re still probably going to find you in a pile of your own sick.
Yes he could have tried to overdose himself but that’s not as certain as a bullet through the noggin. If suicide wasn’t so taboo there would be easy ways out for people that are just sick of it, and sure it might lead to some people offing themselves early but who am I to make that decision for someone else.
Suicide is a complex issue, especially if you have a faith that deals with it harshly. My religion doesn’t touch it, saying it’s for God to judge because we don’t know that person’s state of mind.
All that I mean to say is I understand why someone might and am empathetic. I may or may not think it’s selfish, but it’s not my call. But making your loved ones clean up the mess is just cruel.

Bidenomics
President Joe Biden and White House officials are continuing to downplay recession fears, even as they brace for a highly anticipated report that could show the economy shrinking for a second consecutive quarter.
“We’re not going to be in a recession, in my view,” Biden told reporters on Monday. “The employment rate is still one of the lowest we’ve had in history. It’s in the 3.6 (percent) area. We still find ourselves, the people, investing.”
“My hope is we go from this rapid growth to a steady growth. And so, we’ll see some coming down. But I don’t think we’re going to — God willing — I don’t think we’re going to see a recession,” he continued.
It all depends on what the definition of “is” is.
So he will blame it on God if a recession occurs?

You know as well as I do that this retarded fucking clown thinks “semi-automatic” means “fully automatic belt-fed machine gun” just like nearly every other gun-grabbing sack of ass. 10 to 1 he’s written articles in the past on why the AR-15 is a uniquely deadly high-powered “weapon of war” that should be banned because nobody needs one to hunt with, but thinks a .30-06 Remington 783 is a harmless sportsman’s rifle because it’s made of wood and has to be manually recocked.
What a sack of shit that guy is. When the Hell did you last see a cop with a revolver? Not to mention the rest of his retarded arguments. Fuck him too. This is the day of Fuck Them.
P.S. Days of non-stop driving make me salty.
Sadly there’s a number of judges with invisible ink copies of the constitution.
You see, the government was giving the state governments the right to bear arms, and you can tell because the Amendment says the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind. That was meh.
Absolutely. “Paul” was a superior alien film in every way.

Solaris is the supreme alien flick (not the shitty Clooney one, the Russian one.)

Excellent! I shall watch this tonight when I get to the outskirts of Durango.
Heh. I hope you are traveling alone.
So-so OS though, in my experience.
2001: A Space Odyssey is both my supreme alien flick and favorite flick of all time. I could write a dissertation on it. I usually take pains to make sure I read the book before watching the movie if it’s an adaptation, but since the book and screenplay were written simultaneously I watched the movie first. Now I refuse to read the book because I suspect the additional exposition would ruin some of the meaning of the movie for me.
How have I not heard of this. watching tonight don’t care what it cost or what services I have to subscribe to.
It’s free!
Like every Spielberg flick, it is highly overrated. But that’s not to say it wasn’t good.
Which one of you is this? https://twitter.com/marinasmigielsk/status/1550899615410667520?s=21
Athletic? Athletic?? That thing looks like a giant pink toad. It’s about as athletic as a deep-fried Twinkie.
