It depends on when you were vaccinated. If you were born in or before 1957, you’re presumed immune. If you were born after 1957 and vaccinated before 1967, they were using a not-quite-as-good version of the vaccine and should get a booster. If you were vaccinated between 1968 and 1989, you probably only got one shot; in 1989, they realized it should be two shots for longer, stronger immunity, and you should get a booster. If you were vaxxed in 1990 or later, you’re fine.

People may want to consider getting a DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) booster at the same time. It doesn’t hurt to keep your tetanus resistance up to date, but whooping cough (pertussis) is also making a comeback, and that’s an absolutely miserable disease as well. [Fortunately, diphtheria remains in check, as that has a 5-10% mortality rate, compared to covid’s 1-3% mortality rate.]

It was carrying 8500 gallons of gasoline. The hatch to the tank hadn’t been secured properly and the tanker exploded when it crashed. Then the fire burned for over an hour.

I’m not sure how I feel about this: I agree with Donald Trump.

Except I think we may have differing ideas about how the country is about to go “Boom!”

why was the witness we saw in the video left unharmed?

Two witnesses. There was the lady on the sidewalk, and there was a driver in the car parked at the curb that he walked in front of (you could see the brake lights flash).

It’s not just the AI bubble, it’s a distinct lack of faith in Huffman and as a CEO. He’s not forward-thinking enough, he hasn’t understood where the company’s value lies, and he’s ridiculously distracted by the latest shiny tech things (reddit NFT avatars, reddit crypto, reddit AI).

I fully expect Google to buy reddit at some point, exclusively harvesting all the info for their search engine, all the content for their AI models, and all the submission/view/voting data for their user profiles (what are you interested in, what do you think of these concepts, where are you connecting from, here are more ads we can send you, and these are arguments that might sway you in purchasing or other decisions).

That was really interesting -thank you for sharing that video!

The point is that he’s got too much exposure in Xitter, plus everyone’s tanking Tesla, so he’s moving stuff around to try to hang on to everything he can.

Yeah, we know.

We knew it was going to spread on spring break, and it’s going to spread more when the college kids head home for the summer. :/

Lol, for a moment I thought they were referring to Ford Motor Company and I was very confused …

They were already classified when they sent the information. Your can’t retroactively declassify something.

I really wish the signs didn’t say “paid for by Canada” on them, or at least not so prominently. Because I just know some people are going to read it as “tariffs are a tax on Americans paid for by Canada”.

Given what happened during the pandemic, I don’t have much hope for this, either.

A whole bunch of Americans oppose it as well!

Does anyone know if noise cancelling works against or diminishes this sound?

Funny how they couldn’t do that with the Kia and Hyundai things a few years ago …

He said some Americans in those comments didn’t understand Canadians withholding their dollars was a way to have their voices heard.

sigh. I despair at the blindness of my fellow humans …

Republican Utah Senator John Curtis said on Meet the Press on Sunday: "We’re not being honest when we look people in the eye and say we’re not going to touch [Social Security]. If we don’t touch it, it touches itself. You know that, right?

Social Security would’ve been fine if they didn’t keep raiding it for spending money :(

New Jersey tried to pass a similar law a couple years ago, but it didn’t pass :(

The biggest problem with AI is that they’re illegally harvesting everything they can possibly get their hands on to feed it, they’re forcing it into places where people have explicitly said they don’t want it, and they’re sucking up massive amounts of energy AMD water to create it, undoing everyone else’s progress in reducing energy use, and raising prices for everyone else at the same time.

Oh, and it also hallucinates.
