Body cam footage of Uvalde has dropped: https://www.fox7austin.com/news/video-uvalde-texas-school-shooting-body-cam-footage I clicked through a few of them, I didn't see anything particularly gruesome, but exercise caution. I almost gave myself an aneurism watching what I did though. There is an amazing lack of initiative with those cops and some very questionable choices for "cover". (One dude was using a thin metal pole as "cover")

That Works posted:Coming from Louisiana to Oklahoma and then Texas, Oklahoma did not feel like part of the south at all. East / coastal Texas felt like it a bit though. Spending a few weeks in Ohio felt way more like being in Oklahoma again so I always just lumped OK in with the midwest, ie >95% white, lovely food, same local pride in ignorance etc etc. I recently came back from a trip to Wisconsin. The major complaint that the wife and I had was how bad the food was. Everything was either grossly under seasoned or had a ton of salt. Almost everything was deep fried and/or over cooked. Since being back (after our quarantine period and testing negative since we were exposed) we've been on a kick of going to local places and ordering what we thought was sub par in WI and comparing. We have learned that Texas believes in seasoning, cooking properly, and that "spicy" isn't a thing that should be shunned.

Mr. Nice! posted:Monoclonal antibodies aren't really used anymore because they're not effective against omicron and new variants. They do have effective antivirals in the form of paxlovid, which he is on. My brother recently caught the 'Rona. They gave him Paxlovid since he is a walking comorbidity. Within 3 or 4 days he is testing negative and feels great.

M_Gargantua posted:To continue my anecdotal self-immolation here are the informal survey results of an ER Doctor, ER nurse, and Travel nurse: Fucks given about Covid - 3/10, 4/10, and 4/10. Worry's about monkeypox - 6/10, 8/10, and 9/10. I'm curious about this. I was under the assumption that monkey pox, while extremely lovely to have, is survivable. Is it worse than I believe? Is the 2-4 weeks of being out that is the problem? Why are some getting freaked out, and why now? Edit after reading above: is the fear more along how much it can/will change, like we see with COVID?

facialimpediment posted:Make all jokes here: Air travel, in general, has gotten bad. I refuse to fly on the "budget" airlines, after the fees I pay just as much as another carrier, all for what seems to be ever shrinking leg room. I have also had horrible experiences with Delta/AA. I don't know what they are doing with the money for tickets, but it isn't going towards operating their airline. Between those two, they have lost my luggage 3 times and cancelled (not delayed) about 50% of my flights with them. The only thing left is Southwest. They seem to occupy that "budget airline" mark that existed when I was a child, before 9/11. At least they haven't cancelled my flights on me (yet), lost my luggage (yet), and have only had minimal delays (so far). I keep thinking that the economics of running an airline would allow for a much better experience at the current (or lower even) price points, but execs need those bonuses!

GoGoGadget posted:Any idea how this works with the VA? quote:If you’re enrolled in VA health care, you can request up to 2 free self-test kits at your next primary care appointment or urgent care visit. That was straight from va.gov (https://www.va.gov/coronavirus-vete...%20appointment.) "Depending on local supplies" is likely doing some heavy lifting.

facialimpediment posted:I'll be finding out next month! But the apparent thing that's happened is that all of the budget airlines never paid their people poo poo, so they've always been lovely with baggage/ticketing/scheduling because of all the turnover. Delta's main business model was that you'd pay way more to avoid all of those problems, as they charged you more and paid their people better. I recently flew for a trip. We ended up using Southwest due to price and schedule. So far, we have only had two flights from SW delayed, and they haven't (yet) lost our luggage. I am also noticing that the airport that you fly from and to is more important now. Specific times, at specific locations can be severely impacted. Our recent delay was for a connecting flight. I wish it was easier to see the routes for each aircraft. I suspect our delayed aircraft came from one of those airports that can't handle the capacity, it would be useful to see that for planning. Maybe it would be worth it to take a flight that is more expensive/crappy time if the odds are better that I don't have issues.

facialimpediment posted:House GOP and a pile of Republican Senators decided to whip against the CHIPS Act today because they're mad at Manchin, didn't matter. Pelosi didn't lose a single vote and gained 24 Republicans too, they just held off until Ds delivered the 218 needed. I like this "active" Democrat party. The real question is, who or what lit the fire under them to actually motivate them to do... well... anything?
