One of the nice things about mRNA vaccines is that they tend to have fewer side effects. Flu vaccine always makes me feel pretty bad. Hopefully this will be better.
So your vaccine which works by forcing an immune response makes you feel like you're undergoing an immune response, but mRNA vaccines don't? Fascinating.

I believe that the USA is facing its "Hitler" moment, where about 33% of White Nationalists are taking over everybody. They don't seem to care about what is in the United States Constitution, nor about the concept about forming a More Perfect Union. It is pure selfishness.
Seriously? We're talking about data centers, and you went to Hitler? Do everyone a favor and go outside for awhile.

The difference is that electric cars and trucks primarily charge overnight, when the demand for electricity is low.
You don't need to improve the grid capacity to serve people charging when you have excess capacity available.
Except the switch to solar generation means the excess capacity at night is thinner than it used to be.

We can't compete, and it appears we don't even want to try anymore. In 20 years your average American won't even be able to afford an American car, so I guess this hardly matters.
You should look under that hood. You might be surprised as to the why.

You're correct of course. Although it's pretty clear the original intent of the amendment was to allow states to have self-defence militias, which were common in the 1800s. The Supreme Court has obviously expanded the original meaning to what it is today over the last 150 years.
It's so clear that the supreme court disagrees with you. As you mention in your third sentence.

Comment Re:Parents are to blame (Score 1) 143
Kids who don't see their parents reading books won't read books themselves. Parents who don't share what's to love about reading raise kids who don't read. Of course, we'll blame the schools so we don't have to look inwards. But the problem ultimately lies with parents who don't themselves properly value the things they expect schools to instill in their children.
Does it ultimately lie with parents, or does it lie with the publishing companies who are only publishing a handful of blockbuster authors. If those books don't interest you...
Comment Re: Cover letters have been dying for a long time. (Score 1, Insightful) 113
There is still value to cover letters. I worked at a company where we put a very simple prompt in the job req which told the applicant to do something trivial im their cover letter. If they failed to do it, we threw the application away. It was to screen for the most basic skill of observation and to know whether or not the asshole sending in the application had even read the job req, which many folks don't do any more. I'd think we culled 30% of applicants from the go.
I'm going to guess the job was a make-work job you expected to receive an exceeding number of applications for.

We'll have the greatest measles epidemic in the world if we stay the course.
Oh no, not an epidemic of a effectively non-lethal, very treatable, disease that confers lifetime immunity (unlike the vaccine) if you get it. Whatever shall we do!? And just to be clear: more people die from blood loss after perforating their colon from shoving things in their ass every year in the US than measles.

With pockets made for smartphones, like a nice denim button up shirt like Wrangler makes only with the pockets two inches deeper than they ate now, and khaki and denim trowsers with deeper pockets too, a little research can find the best location where the phone is protected from damage by normal activity
Alternatively, you could buy a smaller phone. They still make those.
