Re: A day... sigh - Today

I've had four device screens repaired over the years. Mrs. cbelt3 and I have a bit of arthritis going (hers is worse) and gravity steals stuff from our hands sometimes. Apple store repairs if you have Applecare + are the thing to do. Otherwise finding a 'phone repair' shop that will do the screen swaps is worth it.. typically half the cost of the repair from Apple.

Re: 528 Hz - Yesterday

Bafflegab by someone claiming to be a boffin. His voice is annoying. His theories are annoying. His delivery is annoying. I only found one actual scientific study involving the sound applied to rats, that seem to indicate an increased level of testosterone in rats. All we need. More horny rats. I'm more willing to believe the 5.28 Hz "Brown Note" frequency, mostly because a cowor

Re: Potential MRF mascots - Yesterday

My children's favorite parrot related joke: A man entered a pet shop and noticed a rather large parrot with a sign "Marked down for immediate sale, no returns !", with a very low price. He asked the shopkeeper about the bird. "Little booger keeps getting returned. He was owned by a drunken sailor, and has a bit of a problem with his language. I'll GIVE him to you !" T

Re: NYC to Offer $100 Incentive for Vaccination Starting Friday - Yesterday

Cash incentives for immunization is really a cheap way to reduce healthcare costs. Good idea, New York City. I'd add a mild proposal... hand out cash to people wearing masks to incentivise that too ?

Re: I'd Like To Abandon His A** On A Road - Yesterday

A good ending for the dog. My inlaws used to get random cats appearing all the time at their home. People would abandon them to 'go live on a farm'. And poor kitty would smell her way to where there were other cats, and meow to be let in. We even have a volunteer cat of our own who meowed to come and live with us. Cats know where they will be well loved.

Re: with a girl like Rosie?!....RIP: Rosie the Riveter [ at 99 ]...... - Yesterday

A well earned wonderful life. I fondly remember Miss White, who started working as a teenager in WWII in my company's factory doing work to 'help our boys'. And when the boys came back in 1945, she was the only woman left in the entire company. She worked there for 52 years until she finally retired. And passed away a few years later. She was living history and a force to be reckoned with. And

Re: Choose a reward for awesome service - 2 days ago

That is a cute thing, and it's great that they reflect rewards. Most companies only ask about Bad Stuff. I give great reviews when asked (and appropriate). I've even called "How do you like my driving" numbers a few times. The person taking the call was completely confused that I was calling to say how awesome the driver was for stopping and helping at the scene of an accident and car f

Re: Getting cold feet about root canal - 3 days ago

I deeply regret having some teeth pulled rather than doing a root canal. My bite is kind of gappy and that makes it difficult. And implants compared to crowns are a factor of 10x more expensive. That said, I did get Nitrous for my last root canal, and it went really well. I've been afraid of the dentist since my youth, when Novocain was still used and did not work too well on me. Lidocaine wor

Re: Thinking of getting a Tesla 3 - 3 days ago

Everyone I know that has one just plain loves it. Up here in NE Ohio they all buy dual motor (AWD) models because snow and ice. And they get the driver assistant add-ins. My commute is now 10 feet, so I don't really drive except to get groceries and such. And hoo boy do they hold their value. Wow.

Re: Happy Pioneer Day from Utah - 4 days ago

The Mormons were coming west. An advance scout rode back and reported, "There's a wonderful land ahead. It has a giant lake. That is where we should stop our wanderings. In this Promised Land we will spend our time fishing and making love." Sticking his head out of his tent, Brigham Young said, "Salt the lake!"

Re: COVID lowers intelligence - study. - 4 days ago

QuotePeterB ..I would strongly recommend anyone in this situation to consider upping their intake of omega-3's (especially DHA), which have been shown to be both cardioprotective and neuroprotective. Almost certainly it can't hurt, and it could possibly help. Interesting. Just started adding fish oil again. I've been adding Vitamin D and COQ-10 to my multivitamin and Glucosamine adds. Hope it

Re: COVID lowers intelligence - study. - 4 days ago

I will agree. My long haul symptom was “brain fog”. It got better when I got the vaccine, But I am stupider than I was before. It is kind of noticeable. The neurological challenges that I already had make it hard to measure.I am making more mistakes.

Re: Eric Clapton Will Not Play Shows Where Proof of Vaccine Is Required - 5 days ago

Hmmm. I had a similar reaction to Pfizer. And I STILL recommend people get vaccinated. It’s FAR easier than dealing with COVID-19. I will always take a couple of days of misery when compared to a month of misery and two more months of confusion and brain fog that I experienced under COVID-19. Not to mention being reasonably afraid of dying on a ventilator. Got close to going to the hospital, bu

Profound and Depraved indifference. By the act of using his media position to present and push the conspiracy theories, Mr. Carlson is criminally negligent in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Can you IMAGINE the class action lawsuit ? I doubt even MurderDoch will be able to pay up.
