With the covid stuff, if ninety percent of people get vaccinated will the pandemic go away? Does anyone know what kind of timescale that will be?

Pretty much yeah but unfortunately we will probably never hit 90% in the US. Still with the likely vaccination ceiling of 60-70% or so it will become a nasty endemic disease but not a catastrophic pandemic anymore. Timescale is like, now-ish in many US states, probably a year or a few in a lot of other countries.

We've already seen variants that have some ability to escape the vaccines we have. If we get something that's even better at that, then we might be looking at some serious backsliding. As I understand it there are reasons to think that that's unlikely, but it's not a sure thing. Also keep in mind that while the overall US vaccination rate is middling at best, that varies a lot from location to location. There are places where the vast majority of people have the vaccine.

For a serious evaluation of the cookie question - let's imagine you're co-owners of a business, and a personal purchase is accidentally made on the business card. $40 needs to be put back into the account, one party wants to cover 1/4, the other will cover 3/4. You pay $30.

It’s the ultimate bourgeois affectation: asking strangers on the internet about how much your partner ought to pay for the 40 dollar cookies you can easily afford while completely blind spotting the existential void that is your life.

Should I get a cat? My coworker's cat just had kittens and she's offering them. I live alone, and work full time. I brought the idea up to my mom and she said it's a terrible idea because it won't be fair to the cat since I'd be away so much and it's a lot of work. I've had a cat and a dog before when I lived at home so I'm well aware of the responsibilities and you know, the fact that I'm a 30 year old adult. I know a pet is a big responsibility and that's why I'm so hesitant

You'd be better off with one chill adult, not a kitten. Kittens are too full of energy to manage even when at home full-time unless you know what you're doing and/or are willing to get two so they tire each other out.

I adopted a 7 year old cat and he is the Lord of Chill and doesn’t destroy my stuff and knows where to poop.

Adopt a bonded pair of adult cats, they're harder two adopt out, two cats is really not much more effort than one and they'll play with each other so they don't get bored. Cats sleep all day and are mostly active during morning and evening so they're fine for people who work full time.

Should I put down ADD as a disability in my job application when asked to self-identify any disabilities I have? I do legitimately have it, with a formal diagnosis and treatment plan from a neurologist. I looked it up and ADD does qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but I didn't do this at my last job and I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

Do you feel having ADD affects your functioning in such a way that it is necessary for an employer to know? Would knowing allow an employer to create a beter working environment for you? Unless you would answer those questions with Yes, do not share medical information with potential future employers

Glad to read you made that decision. Good luck on getting that job! I have ADD myself, and in the few cases where I divulged that information to my employer it always came back to bite me in the rear end.

Are you kidding, kittens are 1000% more dickish than adult cats. They don't stop and they don't understand how pointy they are and everything everywhere is a game.

I like to make overnight oats using chocolate almond milk. However, I would like to switch from almond milk to oat milk. Basically every oat milk recipe basically just describes soaked oat water. So like... is there any reason I couldn't just make overnight oats... with water?  Adding oat milk to oats seems unnecessary, especially if I'm making my own oat milk. But making overnight oats with water feels like some Ned Flanders poo poo. Also every chocolate oat milk recipe I've found is trash because it assumes I'm trying to be a healthy vegan instead of a cheapskate sugar gremlin so if anyone knows a recipe that's actually good please point me in that direction.

Basically every oat milk recipe basically just describes soaked oat water. So like... is there any reason I couldn't just make overnight oats... with water? Oat milk is made from oats that have been crushed, soaked in water, heated, and treated with enzymes. This process extracts a lot of nutrients that would remain unavailable if you’d just soak oats in water. So without ever having made overnight oats myself, I’m pretty sure using oat milk will give a different result from using water.

I've been doing a bit of tutoring for a company called ClubZ, and a cursory googlr search doesn't turn up too much about them. Does anyone know if they're predatory/horrible in some ways? For what it's worth, I haven't had anything even close to a problem yet, just wondering if I'm somehow contributing to some lovely company without realizing it.

I got a green Theraband a year or so ago when doing PT, and when I put it away in a drawer when I finished PT, I accidentally left it knotted. Fast forward to today… when I went to use it, it was all brittle around the knot and snapped without much pressure at all. The rest of the band seems fine. What’s up with that?

The knotted part has been under tension all this time, allowing the stretchy molecules to slowly relax into a newer, shittier configuration

Is this a thing I can do in google sheets? (Or if someone could help me recreate the script in excel, could I do this in excel.) So in this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16wCsVT_2NLWEZGCS3erdFFL9lDieQ6xxZYCE88fFI5E/edit?usp=sharing I have a bunch of encounters copy pasted from the compendium in DND 4e, to cells in google sheets, I then have a script to the far right, that looks for certain keywords in the script and changes it to roll code for roll 20. It does this dynamically, and while there are some bugs with it, it works for what I need. This is the script: https://pastebin.com/tFiAxbNw What I'd like to add as a functionality, is either by whether or not a cell is bold, or maybe by color, or some other appropriate signifier get it to add "/me " before the move names. This would make the text before the attack appear bright orange, as my players sometimes loses attacks because of the way roll20 will concatenate a set of rolls made together. What is a good way to get this sheet to do that, either with inline code, or maybe a google script, or an excel script, if someone can teach me how to recreate the google sheets find replace script in excel.

I forgot to put the cap back on on my fuel canister after I refueled my lawn mower. Must have been sitting there without a cap for at least a day. Is the gas in there still good? If it's not, what's the proper way to dispose of it?
