Where else are you going to suck balls… All day… Because you like it so much?

You can still get something like that.

There’s some loon still plastering their ill informed, anti Vax / anti mask stickers on every bit of street furniture across the nearby town centre.

In 1999 I spent a week in Cornwall (south western tip of the UK), staying in a spot right in the middle of the path of totality for the eclipse that summer. Every day, glorious sunshine, even got a bit burnt. Except one day. Day of the eclipse was thick clouds horizon to horizon. Ended up watching the BBC coverage from an aircraft via a 3" portable TV.

Did get to see the approaching shadow over the ocean, so at least that was pretty cool, but still disappointing.

Don’t think I’ll have another opportunity in my lifetime unless I travel internationally specifically to see one.

At this guy.

Adicts gonna addict

They might not get discarded separately, but do they get recycled separately?
I always loosen caps when throwing them in the green bin so the bottles will compress more easily. Others might just throw them in separately or they might even pop off once compacted.
I don’t know how much of a problem having them separated might be (I’m just wondering out loud) but I could see how keeping things together and not having lots of small fiddly bits in mixed loads prior to sorting could be beneficial.
Sounds like it doesn’t take much contamination for recycling companies to redirect whole loads to landfill, so it it helps there it’s good I guess?

Don’t worry, they mean the bed of their truck. The airflow at highway speeds ensure all crumbs are carried away immediately!

Their foil is pretty good at keeping stuff fresh too (as well as making good anti-mind-control hats)

If you have the kind of tax affairs you really don’t want auditing, quite possibly.

Thanks Nigel

Left previous position with an open mind

The Sudetenland branch is hiring.

Or dads who refuse to change infants in their care because “peedo”

Only if you don’t look at it afterwards

It’s definitely appearing as an option more on the pos terminals now that most people prefer to pay contactless rather than cash. I’ve only had one occasion where the gratuity was automatically added (ironically, on an occasion I would not tip because the service negatively impacted my meal and I had to strike it out) perhaps I’ve just been lucky.

What? No, we might not tip our petrol station attendants or barmaids, but it’s still been normal to tip table service for at least 30 years.

I had suspected RSV last Christmas, given my experience of both, I’d rather have had COVID again. Well, I’d rather have neither but I don’t get to choose.

I’ve only tested positive for it once, and that illness wasn’t even in the top 5 worst colds that year. I’ve had numerous shitty colds since, any one of them could have been Rona again, but I ether wasn’t infectious at the time I tested or it was after the point I stopped testing every sniffle.

There’s a chance I have it right now, but I don’t know if I can be bothered to grab a test when it will be done in a couple of days.

I’d take an updated booster if they offered me one, but my government is only offering them to over 50s.

I’m of the opinion* that once the majority has spike protein specific antibodies, occasional exposure to small viral loads (incidental contact) is probably a good thing for refreshing an immunity that might otherwise wane and allow a serious case to take root.

*I’m not an immunologist obviously, but I’ve previously read up on the clinical justification the NHS uses to recommend against widespread chicken pox vaccination
