I am going to have to try and get a set of chisels at some point and see if I can do woodwork. I had quite a bit of fun making the walking stick last year and it would have been a lot easier if I had more than one chisel someone had seemingly used on bricks and a mallet.

A spoke shave would have been nice for one thing.

I had a woodworking course bought for me for Christmas and finally got to do it a couple of weeks ago. Got home and immediately spent all my disposable income for the rest of the month on hand tools

I have been vaxxed, and there is delicious fudge waiting at home. Plus no work on Monday! Everything is pretty good.

On the vaccinations. If I'm not feeling any side effects (other than a sore arm) 24 hours later, I'm unlikely to get any right?

I haven't heard of it taking longer than 12 hours to land on anyone. Anecdote, but.

I also had my vaccination yesterday, after finally managing to get through to someone on the phone to tell me where my appointment was, and I too just have a sore arm and feel otherwise fine. I also got pissed last night, and don't have a hangover.

This therefore proves that anyone who has suffered side effects is a wimp and a liar doing it for attention.

My sore arm was at its worst about 20 hours after the shot, I would say, and stopped hurting altogether the next morning.

Got my second Pfizer last week, was told could have flu like symptoms from it for 2 days after.

Hello, dear



thing is, people forget what they're driving. the cousin has been a bus driver for about 15 years now and he has more than once got a double decker stuck up tiny streets because his mind had wandered and he forgot he was at work and set about driving the routes he'd take if he was in his car

Depressingly what's increasingly going to happen is the bad boats will take advantage of retreating ice coverage to take the northwest and northeast passages, something shipping companies are extremely excited about without even pretending to know the meaning of the word "irony" or "hubris". Also I like trains as much as the next goon but even a couple of trans-Eurasian lines running at full chat wouldn't be able to cope with the throughput just on the Shanghai-Rotterdam route, let alone the rest of the traffic heading between China and Europe.

e: The long-vaunted plan to upgrade the Trans Siberian and Manchurian railways to high-speed freight *would* take a lot of strain off air freight in that direction at least, but that doesn't put a dent in shipping to the US.

There is actually a large range where the ice can retreat and it doesn't mean civilisation is going to be destroyed. Problem is there's a lot of inertia in the changes so hitting the breaks to try and min-max the ice retreat but not destroy the biosphere is impossible. It's the oceans. Even if we somehow stopped warming the earth right now it'd be thousands of years before the oceans respond to the trend.
