I haven't (to my knowledge) had covid, but I do know people who currently have long covid, and hearing their complaints about being (a) significantly disabled as a result of a mild case and (b) effectively ignored by the medical system don't give me confidence in risk being low.

Some pieces of truly comprehensive mitigation strategies (e.g., improved ventilation/airflow in public spaces) are more about things governments need to impose rather than individual responsibilities, but we're not talking about those either.

I got my first two shots from different providers in California (first from Santa Clara County and the second from Stanford) and it showed up just fine in the State of California's records. Less likely to hold for the booster at a grocery store pharmacy in Maryland, though.

Do you have a way to file CPU bugs with someone who could fix them?

Somewhere in there they should tell people to behave differently if they test positive, too.
Didn’t see this one coming: on account of, you know, an unvaccinated 2yo, we asked Thanksgiving hosts to distribute covid tests (which we bought) to everyone coming. Someone’s tested positive and is ?? coming anyway ?? and the host ?? won’t uninvite them ??

Closer match for Philadelphia to Norwalk, CT. Philly-NYC just isn't that far, it's less than 90 minutes by Amtrak train IIRC.

There's more room to grow if you upzone one of the departments on the upper floor rather than one on the lower floor.

Palo Alto had similar recusals when passing the Housing Work Plan ordinance in late 2018 / early 2019 -- staff had to split it up into 3 parts to account for recusals on downtown-specific and CalAve-specific zoning.

I think both Liz Kniss and Eric Filseth were recused from Caltrain grade separation stuff in Palo Alto, which I think was why there was a special subgroup of the council (chaired by @adrianfine) for that, at least for the year when Kniss was mayor and Filseth was vice-mayor.

There are also some other options tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~tmf20/tie… (I often use the "Nicky".)

For how long after the pandemic ends (if it ends) will we keep finding masks in our coat pockets?

I think I have some sort of a stop in there for the t (maybe an alveolar stop). (The same kind of stop that replaces the entire word “good” in “good morning”, I think.)

Before we get there, though, maybe we should insert an omesa (?) somewhere between omicron and omega.

Though at the time wasn't the term "distributed"?

In other words, it was less centralized than what it replaced, and in a useful way.

Being able to have a commit on my own machine that others didn't have, and use that to save work in progress, was actually a big deal, though. I still have a directory somewhere of patch files named in the format [bug number].[version], like 9458.6.

Also, we're about to have lots of news about, and likely lots of disease from, the ο variant... as if that might not confuse anyone.

The alternative might be distinguishing between Alpha, Alif, and Aleph...
