I do post a lot, yes. I usually have the forums open while I'm doing anything else and I am usually doing it, videos, and games at the same time. There are just a few good PYF threads though so we probably just have similar tastes.

Part of me knew that there'd be comments on that Hbomberguy video making GBS threads on people with autism, but it still makes me a little sad. Not as sad as knowing I need to wake up in less than 4 hours, mind you.

You know I haven't had a single cold since lockdown started, despite being out among The Public every day, and now I've come down with one and it's loving horrendous. I've missed three days of work and I'm probably going to miss a fourth. My throat is incredibly painful. This is rubbish. Colds are rubbish.

I had a slightly weird experience today with a lady trying to sell me a visor instead of my mask, said I was quite happy with the mask and would probably wear it for fun anyway, to which I got the response "I think we're all too used to them and we're hiding behind them now" That I also haven't been sick in two years and also have had way better hayfever just reinforces it. Masks are good provided I'm not doing anything strenuous. Definitely might keep wearing them in winter at least.

I'm finally able to book a vaccination. Is it preferable to choose a smaller center or a larger one? Am I likely to experience delays at a larger one?

Nah I reckon the larger ones are going to be organized and experienced at this point, well able to handle problems that might crop up. I had mine last week at the nearby hospital and it was smooth and efficient. Just go for whatever's most convenient imo.

jaete posted:If I'm reading these post-Brexit customs guidelines correctly (and if they are correct), one can still order stuff from the EU to Northern Ireland without having to pay any customs, VAT or other bullshit. And apparently there is also no customs, VAT or other bullshit between NI and the rest of the UK. Just have the sender mark it as a zero (or <£15) value gift. If they balk then you might have a problem. Only time I've heard people get stopped for misc/hobby stuff is when they've ordered multiple knockoff warlord titans from China. (Resin kits the size of a small child and priced like a small car if you didn't know).

I had mine last week at the nearby hospital and it was smooth and efficient. Just go for whatever's most convenient imo. My experience has been the exact opposite of this - the tiny pharmacy-based ones are startlingly quick, the massive ones much slower. The fastest one I've volunteered at (a little pharmacist in Homerton that had taken over an adjoining shop) was getting people door-to-door in under 5 minutes*. The slowest one (Science Museum) took longer than that just to get people in the door. Now there were a couple of reasons the latter was *particularly* slow (anal-retentive security policy, separate streams for Pfizer and AZ) but still generally the larger the centre the longer it seems to take to actually get people through. Of course the corollary to that is that the smaller centres are *much* more dependent on people turning up exactly on time for their appointments - just a few people turning up at once completely crippled the queuing system and led to long delays, whereas the bigger ones have the capacity to not really give a gently caress about that (or the occasional person requiring much longer). * Things you can do to speed up your own personal experience (and make everyone's lives easier) - have your NHS number ready to go, have the absolute minimum (and quickest-to-remove) layers between your upper shoulder and the outside world (Science Museum was particularly bad for people who thought skin-tight long-sleeve jogging tops were a great idea requiring them to need taking out the back to strip off and get jabbed), and - if you're the sort of person to obsess about such things - read the leaflets for the jab online first and don't think that by cunning questioning you're going to be the one to blow this whole thing wide open.

The massive out-of-town one I went to was like a production line, it took more time walking quickly around the one way system confirming various things than it took to get the jab, they were just going up & down the lines with trolleys jabbing people as soon as they got seatedu brexit ukip it posted:Had my Pfizer shot last night, arm's a bit sore but that's it luckily Then I died instantly & pledged my soul to Microsoft

I dunno whether the one i was at would be considered large, but they had maybe 10 jabbing pairs in an open hall. It was very smooth and quick, my only queuing was about a minute sat on a spaced out chair. Of course I was awkward and they spelt my name wrong on the paperwork and had to redo it. It seemed important that my name was right if this was going to be a vaccine passport or whatever down the line.

Because this seems like a lot of infrastructure prep for something that (as far as I was aware) is far from a sure thing.

One upside of the pandemic is thst it seems to have rapidly accelerated the digitalisation of the NHS. My wife's had both her jabs now, and has downloaded the passport app thing, and on there it has so much info (previous medications, vaccines, allergies ), plus facilities to book appointments at our local surgery. This would have been unthinkable even, like, a year ago, where no one seemed to have access to proper medical records at all, and the only way to book an appointment at our surgery was to ring at 8am on the day you're poorly and hope for the best.

Brand new pod is out for those of you who like such things - and we even got Dan on to talk about his rewilding work and planting trees and stuff. You know, the only wholesome stuff in the UKMT? https://twitter.com/PraxisCast/status/1397841240884973568?s=20 Also I was reading about stablecoin so if you enjoy finance shenanigans there's that too.

TACD posted:When I had my second injection they were imploring everybody to get the NHS app (the regular one not the COVID tracker) so it could be used as a vaccine passport, and it’s already been set up to generate a proof-of-vaccine QR code for travel: There's talk among airlines (and other public venues and tourist attractions) about dropping distancing/masking requirements for fully-vaccinated people - it's apparently already happened at a couple of baseball grounds in the States. I suspect this is going to be the endgame here - governments won't *mandate* vaccines, but massively incentivise the private sector to do the job for them.
