I have noticed a correlation with drink posting and more likes. So MWCboard thinks I'm smarter/funnier after a few... just like me! Wow, there’s a lot to analyze in that post. That’s worthy of a PhD dissertation right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is current vaccines work: “We report here that SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells induced by prior infection and, more extensively, by mRNA vaccination provide comprehensive heterologous immune reactivity against B.1.1.529. Pairwise comparisons across groups further revealed that SARS-CoV-2 spike-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited similar functional attributes, memory distributions, and phenotypic traits in response to the ancestral strain or B.1.1.529. Our data indicate that established SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses, especially after mRNA vaccination, remain largely intact against B.1.1.529.” — https://www.nature.com/articles/d41591-022-00017-z T-Cells are important which more studies are showing in the fight and even one where they think T-Cells from the common cold can help as well. But that didn't answer the question of would they make people get the Omicron vaccine after pushing the second and booster shot vaccine. Or will they just get it if you want or just forget about it?

But I’m glad we know just to not always second guess yourself. It’s early but it seems like everyone here is doing well. That's good to hear maybe a calmer weekend, everyone staying low, seeing how low they can go maybe put on some Almond brothers......oh wait that isn't the calm you are looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - weekend numbers are added later in the following week - Regardless this is a surge that exceed the previous surges............best news is, if vaxxed you probably come out without much damage - Pity to those unvaccinated that are dying or compiling massive medical bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know really some long term effects either yet and won't know until years down the line like they did with the Spanish Flu. Most of those bills from these aren't going to be paid but this has also shown there needs to be a massive overhauling of the medical system in the nation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Convert Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Old_SD_Dude said: Yeah I feel the same way. Might be different people though. I’d never drink a beer with you. It would probably start off really cool and everything, but then as time went by, I’d be a little nervous about you turning into a mean drunk. You’d go to the bathroom to take a piss, and then return with a Mexican wrestling mask on, complete with the full body uniform of red tights and a mean growl in a serious grappling stance. Suddenly, I think I’m in Tijuana and have the urge to run out to the street and grab a cab to the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanforHeisman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 2 hours ago, Nevada Convert said: It would be interesting to know how much people drink and post here. I don’t drink at all because I have to take pain meds sometimes, and because I just don’t feel like it. I hear that around the IPhone 16 release, there’s going to be a breathalyzer slot to blow into and pass to get your phone to power on. And blow into it every 4 hours to keep it on. I don’t drink either anymore, really only because I sleep terribly when I drink. I don’t really enjoy the feeling anymore either. But for the MWC board meet up I’d suffer a little.

So 6 warnings equals being grounded in your room for a day. Wow, I instantly earned 42 warning points for saying something much harmless than what happy barks out multiple times a day. I’m calling my Congressman. Happy is an exemplary moderator, he has never issued a ban or a warning I did not think appropriate and the work he has done around here is second to absolutely nobody. From running our favorite annual events, to spending time listening to all your guys crying, for YEARS. If you have an issue with Happy, it is most likely because he kicked your ass in some online arguments that have NOTHING to do with his moderating duties. 4 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know just wondering if the new one coming out in March is now going to be involved in that as well, telling people you need to get the Omicron vaccine as well as all the other shots you have taken. Or will they just be like ehhh throw it in the same argument as the rest of them. Then if you get the Omicron vaccine, do you need the other vaccines as well. Now I don't know what the facts on Novavax is but there seems to be not as a huge push behind it as others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smltwnrckr Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've had beers with murderers. The idea that anyone on here wouldn't have a beer with anyone else on here seems silly. 1 1 Quote Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
