So, question: the vaccine is 97% effective against measles, meaning there's still a 3% chance i might get it under various circumstances . Assuming I've been vaccinated and still got measles despite having a normal, functioning immune system: I recognize I'd likely have a milder case of measles, but would it still wipe out my immune system's memory?

I know it's not actually 3% and there's a host of factors, but none of that's really relevant to the question, so please ignore it.

You can use antennasearch to get more information on it.

They never said they wouldn't come for migrants without criminal records; they only said that they'd target them first. So if they come across other migrants in their targeted search for those with criminal records, they still consider those to be valid arrests.

edit: to address the comments: I said that they think of then as valid arrests, not that I did.

It doesn't matter. They've already had unfettered access, so there's no way it can ever be considered secure again.

I heard about it yesterday, but had no time to arrange to take off work.

Ford warned Trump may use tariff threats again

Will use them again, will.

The pause follows Canada’s concessions on border security and fentanyl. Prime Minister Trudeau pledged new enforcement measures to ease tensions.

Goddamnit, I'm so. fucking. tired. of people giving him wins, or things he can claim are wins.

My problem with Tesla is that so many things seem half-unthinking, half-finished or half-assed:

Unthinking: I know! I'll put a ledge in from of the headlights, so snow can pile up while I'm driving!

Unfinished: all the seam mismatches and eternally unfinished-but-really-close! full self-driving (it ain't gonna happen).

Half-assed: that recall they had to do because sometimes the latch doesn't catch properly and the hood flies open when you're driving and blocks your view. Tesla's solution isn't to fix or replace the hood latch so this doesn't happen; they push a software up that monitors the hood latch and pops up a warning, telling you to pull over and check the hood latch. Because apparently fixing the issue that their poor design (see #1) and bad implementation (see #2) doesn't warrant an actual fix, they're just going to fob the risk , the cost and the work off to the customer.

Early last week, I had a kidney stone attack. I was taking a picture for my doctor of the blood clots that I'd pissed out, and I noticed the toilet was ... not great. So I took the pictures, poured don't bleach in, swished it around and waited for the next attack phase.

This morning, I walked in to use the bathroom (as I've been doing this entire week), and there was a bottle of bleach sitting right out in front of the toilet. Like, when you're moving to sit down, you need to maneveur around the bottle; and when you're sitting, you have to keep your legs apart to accommodate this gallon bottle of bleach.

I have been maneveuring around this extremely inconveniently placed bottle of bleach cut an entire week, and I have no memory of it! It's so infuriating!

Re: your wallet: maybe put a Tile in it? Or designate one specific place for it to live in the house?

If not tradewar, then why tradewar shaped?

Thanks, I always fuck up the formatting on those.

He's scared because stocks were down a bit this morning, he's been fielding calls from panicked CEOs all weekend, and someone actually stood up to him. Good on you, Canada!

Edit: FTA:

we've noticed is that Mexicans are very, very serious about doing what President Trump said

Ugh, sorry, Mexico!

this is going to be one of the biggest supply-side positive shocks that we've ever seen

I don't think that word [positive] means what you think it does.

There's thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world and fuckthepolice@lemm.ee ; the first is more active, the second would probably welcome the traffic.

Croutons! I start up a crouton factory!

As an ashamed American, I really dig the solidarity and support you guys are showing with your alternative products and boycott lists!

without the risks of addiction

Didn't the drug companies say opioids weren't addictive? I guess we're up for round 2 ....

Edit: from the company's press release:

Vertex has established a wholesale acquisition cost for JOURNAVX in the United States of $15.50 per 50mg pill.

That's the wholesale price. Consumer price will be higher.

The prescribing information sheet says to start with 100mg, then take 50mg every 12 hours. So at wholesale costs, a two-week supply is $450; actual patient costs will be higher. Also, I limited my math to only two weeks because:

Use JOURNAVX for the shortest duration, consistent with individual patient treatment goals. Use of JOURNAVX for the treatment of acute pain has not been studied beyond 14 days.

I'd argue that most people with severe covid would seek medical attention once they started having difficulty breathing, so most covid deaths probably occur in hospitals, where covid tests are cheap and plentiful. So the internal numbers from hospitals are probably accurate.

This doesn't prevent medical examiners who don't "believe" in covid from changing the data, or moronic red states (cough Florida cough) from simply not reporting it.

This past week, 1.6% of all deaths in the United States were from covid.

As an ashamed American, I fully support your position!

"We want to support you because we believe in what you're doing and when you get out here and do this stuff around, DEI, knowing that this support that he's gotten from Black people, this uptick, it's not permanent!"

He got into office, which is all he wanted. He has four years to consolidate the dictatorship, be doesn't need you anymore.

ABC Philly is saying:

A large fire burned in the wake of the crash, prompting a significant response. Vehicles, homes and even people in the area could be seen on fire.

The Philadelphia Fire Department advised residents to avoid the area of Calvert and St. Vincent streets.
