Every year I open my PCP's pool and close it. Its a nice pool. Super easy to open even with the mesh cover. I usually have it clear by Memorial day. Her Son helps me and does most of the work. Good kid. For this I pay no extras. No deductibles, no lab or blood work and things like that. It also fosters good will between us. Why can't more of us operate on this basis.

Sounds like communism dude.

Seems more like barter economics.

@Toshi wtf does "Results pls" mean?

Yup - the "underground" economy. It's still alive and functioning...

 

[Inclag]

@Toshi wtf does "Results pls" mean?

It means a failed education system and a frightening inability of a large group of people to actively listen or seek out the troves of information and study results that are available to the public already.....

I just got my first jab! Left hand feels weird.

 

[slyfink]

Holy shitballs, I just scored an appointment for my first jab. Sunday at 3:30. Should give me time for a Sunday morning ride. Now comes the "which vaccine will it be" roulette!

Ironically, the location I'm getting it is now a palliative care hospital, but it used to be the city's general hospital, and is where I was born!

Nice. You know what to do next.

Booked flights to see my dad. Reduced travel from COVID just means full flights and fewer options. God I hate flying. I think I just need sever all relationships that exist beyond driving range.

Try sitting on it until it goes numb first... that feels really weird!

Out of pocket cost for my parents to have the 4 of us kids was ~$200. My wife and I will probably pay 15x that for a single kid.

And we wonder why people are delaying having children and not having as many when they do.

I am pretty sure it cost my older brother less than a grand out of pocket for the birth of both his kids between 2007-08....

his wife had excellent insurance through GE....

If Your Brain Feels Foggy And You're Tired All The Time, You're Not Alone

The pandemic has done a number on us, in too many ways to count. Our bodies are responding with feelings of fatigue and lack of focus, experts say. Here are some tips to help you feel better.

That's how it was before COVID. Only "in between" were the flights sparsely populated. I flew a few times last year and it was great having the planes so empty. It's pretty much back to normal as far as that is concerned now.

Except that there are still fewer flights so reduced options to get where you need to go. Seattle to Pittsburgh is pretty much a 12+ hour journey requiring a red eye flight for busy days. Thankfully My dates were flexible so I was able to change plans around to find a direct flight with Alaskan.

I assume that things like Security is also "right sized" for the number of travelers so it will still take an hour to get to the gate.

I just did anc direct to phx and it was smooth both ways.

The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?

If the case that SARS2 originated in a lab is so substantial, why isn’t this more widely known? As is now obvious, there are many people who have reason not to talk about it.

Wow, very interesting.

 

[rideit]

It seems like it was written for people with *maybe* 8th grade educations.

 

[Changleen]

Compared with RaTG13, SARS2 has a 12-nucleotide insert right at the S1/S2 junction. The insert is the sequence T-CCT-CGG-CGG-GC. The CCT codes for proline, the two CGG’s for two arginines, and the GC is the beginning of a GCA codon that codes for alanine.

“I DoNt GEt iT”

 

[ALEXIS_DH]

As everyone knows (or may at least recall from high school), the genetic code uses three units of DNA to specify each amino acid unit of a protein chain. When read in groups of 3, the 4 different kinds of DNA can specify 4 x 4 x 4 or 64 different triplets, or codons as they are called. Since there are only 20 kinds of amino acid, there are more than enough codons to go around, allowing some amino acids to be specified by more than one codon. The amino acid arginine, for instance, can be designated by any of the six codons CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA or AGG, where A, U, G and C stand for the four different kinds of unit in RNA.

Definately not the HS I went to.
