I don’t know what they call it where you are from but here light rail is trams. Similar to San Francisco cable cars.
But the vaccines literally have zero to do with the US administration. Why would the president inform your medical decision making process? With the exception of J&J (which I know nothing of), they were developed and manufactured outside the US.
In Australia people also have issues. They are calling it vaccine fatigue here, where people aren’t getting their boosters and also aren’t getting their flu shots. People are getting tired of vaccines. I admit I’m behind on mine. I had my 4th shot last April, and you are meant to have a booster every 6 months. So far I’ve had 2x Pfizer, 1x Novavax/Nuvaxovid and 1x Moderna. I’ve also had covid 3 times. Every shot (except Novavax surprisingly) makes me have minimum 2 days off in bed/on the couch with symptoms and I find myself putting it off.
I use it because it has what I want.
It has my local community group who discuss ideas and plan events. It has my mother’s group who only use Facebook messenger to communicate. It has my extended family who live overseas. If I left and asked them to send me pictures I would only get a few a year, this way I see pics every week.
Do I hate the idea of it? Yes. Would I like to delete my account? Yes. Is the trade-off worth it for me to stay? Also yes.
She was last seen properly in public on Christmas Day 2023. She had surgery early January. Info is all vague. There’s been 2 recent paparazzi pics of her recently, grainy through car windows).
That’s the background, not sure about the death idea the other commenter said. Maybe there’s a conspiracy that she’s dead?
If I go to sleep now I’m going to wake up to a toy being shoved in my face and “play with me mummy” or a screaming kid from a nightmare. If I stay up an extra hour I get to be by myself for an extra hour.
Either way I’ll be tired.
Not much choice there, I’ll stay up and be more sleep deprived.
Love takeoff. It’s amazing when you really think about it.
My mother had breast cancer. I couldn’t get a test to see if it was the inheritable one because then I would have to disclose it as pre-existing for the rest of my life. (For the record my mom took the genetic test and it was negative).
This is just one example.
What if in future, your insurance price depended on an inheritable diseases DNA clearance. You could refuse but then it would be $$$$$. What if my life insurance refused to pay upon my death because I had knowledge of a gene that causes cancer when I took out the policy?
PS not American.
She could at least use wired headphones. Or is it one simple trick to stop people from calling you?
I wish they wouldn’t shine light on it
Pets to your kid I can understand. My cats are on the way out (one passed this year and the other is 16 and not in good health).
My kid is already asking for a dog. I know if I gift a dog it’s actually on me to look after it. Gifting to someone who isn’t a minor or outside your household though? That’s a shitty move
Might be a stupid idea, but maybe a cable that extends 12ft down and releases the object at ground level or close to, then retracts to the drone. Surely they have thought of this though
I assume it’s a fee for early checkin at the beginning and late checkout at the end of the stay.
Is that the origin of devils advocate?
That is super interesting if so
Can’t shop at Cotton On anymore.
Would you like to buy the single use plastic water to provide safe drinking water to people? No. How about make a donation to starving kids? No. How about buying these socks to support shelter for some country? No. Are you a member? No. Would you like to be a member? No.
Would you… “NO. JUST LET ME PAY FOR MY T SHIRT”
Would you like a plastic bag for your shopping?
Refuse: No thanks.
Reduce: I’ll take just 1 bag and stuff it all in there, don’t need 2.
Repurpose: it’s ok because I’ll use this bag as a bin liner.
We split an account between 4 households, paying a quarter each. When the crackdown happened, 2 including my house cancelled and the 3rd paid for the extra user. So they halved their users from our account, but increased revenue anyway. Seems like a win for them.
I started voting conservative at 18, because my parents did and I didn’t know who to vote for (we have compulsory voting in my country). Swapped to the other side late 20s and now mid 30s I can’t see it changing anytime soon.
Our pickup, you can push the gear stick left and it becomes basically manual with no clutch. You tell it to change gears and it will except when it says “no” ie high speeds and you ask to change down a gear when it’s high revs in current gear, it beeps at you and won’t change.
We’ve found that more than adequate for towing a 19ft caravan.
