The Gov of CO has blanket declared that living in Colorado constitutes risk factors sufficient to get a booster so everybody should go get one. So at this point I think the bar for risk factors is pretty generous.

My HMO (Kaiser) has done something pretty close to this. They have a list of potential aggravating factors for COVID that are so broadly defined basically everyone who's had the vaccine already qualifies for them and their appointment system doesn't even ask you to name any reason for getting a booster, just if you qualify or not.

I read the post and it is sweet and bland in a very milquetoast way. I just see this as a potential new avenue for grift. Supposedly the marine poster can send his photo ID into redit to claim his upvotebux.



It has to be grift. Telling people you stood for a long time has been grift since the war of independence.

How the gently caress do those things even work? Does that dude now actually have $2000 or is it just useless e-penis++ poo poo?

Hyrax Attack! posted:

Oh for sure, it was insane that upon leaving port they attacked and sunk a suspected Japanese torpedo boat. In the North Sea 20km from Japan. The sinking of a British fishing boat almost led to war and made their long journey harder as they were prohibited from using UK owned coaling stations.

It's not quite as insane as it seems on first glance. Britain and Japan had a defensive alliance at the time and Japan's main source of warships was British shipyards. It didn't seem impossible that the Japanese might have secretly purchased some new torpedo boats for a suicide attack in the North Sea.

It was still crazy to open fire on a random ship in the North Sea, of course.

I know little about Russian military history aside from WWII, did they ever have an era of naval glory and achievement? Odd to grow up with stuff like red October portraying elite cutting edge ships when in reality not sure how the red navy would have done in a conflict.

Unless you count the Varangian period, not really, but this isn't too surprising when you consider they had gently caress all in terms of coastline or ports until IIRC the 1700s when Peter the Great built St. Petersburg in the middle of a coastal swamp and declared "this is the capital of Russia now". And yes, more than one writer has pointed out the similarities between St. Petersburg and Washington, D.C.

I sometimes think that in cases like this the wrongly-imprisoned person should be given the opportunity to commit one crime consistent with the amount of time they served behind bars without any legal liabilities. I'm only kind of joking about this.
