In the US, if you're in jail, you have to make phone calls through whatever provider the jail uses. These are private companies and charge a lot of money to the family just to talk to their loved one. A quid pro quo is a reward or advantage in return for something. In this case, the jails receive extra money for letting certain phone companies be the only ones prisoners can use. By preventing in person visits, they are lining their pockets with even more money. It's disgusting.

Go to your doctor or pharmacist and tell them that you aren't sure. They'll probably just recommend getting a booster. I got all my childhood vaccines (except chickenpox because it wasn't required when I was a kid) and my doctor still recommended a booster just to be sure.

As an aside, you should be sure to get your tetanus booster every ten years as well.

If it's dead, yes. They eat mostly fish, but also carrion.

I was coming here to post the same thing. He's been a guest on the Knowledge Fight podcast a few times and is an absolute delight to listen to.

Sandhills are my favorite too. They have a super recognizable call and their courtship dances are neat to watch.

No. But also, this is Ontario, well-known for being outside US jurisdiction.

Another guy. That guy killed his dad because his dad was a federal agent. He may have also been vaccinated, but that wasn't the reason he was attacked.

Hbomberguy made a video about it. There's no nuance or foreshadowing in that Sherlock. He exists just so Moffat can feel smart that he knows something the audience can't possibly know yet, nor does he give them a chance to figure it out.

Here. Basically, some people carved out a territory and lived as a republic for fourteen years, despite no formal recognition. They were negotiating to rejoin Quebec, until the British had to go and surrender at Yorktown.

That's because all the conservative Christians either got kicked out, fled, or otherwise ended up in the New World a few centuries ago. They really lean into the prosperity gospel nowadays as well, which is all kinds of problematic.

Q would leave breadcrumbs, because he needed to be as vague as possible to sound like he knew what was going to happen, right? The people who would interpret those breadcrumbs were called bakers. Yes, I know breadcrumbs are from bread that's already been baked, but that's what they decided to call themselves to create an Us vs Them feel. So the "bread" in this image means there are things to be interpreted or reinterpreted yet.

They don't care and/or they're cheering this on. Most of his supporters are either on a holy crusade and see Trump as God's anointed or they see politics and this country as a game they must win at all costs. As long as he continues to hurt the right people, neither group will give a shit.

Your friend is an idiot. MRNA vaccines are not new. Scientists have been working on a vaccine since SARS, which is similar to COVID (aka SARS-CoV-2). One of the reasons why medication can take so long to reach the public is that it takes money, which likely come from grants, which take time and have limited amounts to go around. When the pandemic broke out, countries around the world threw money at these labs. Everything else pretty much stopped, so they didn't have to wait for an understaffed and underfunded FDA to approve it.

Getting the vaccine is much better than slowly suffocating because the virus destroyed your lungs. Herd immunity only works when enough people have been vaccinated and clearly we haven't reached that yet since people are still getting infected, reinfected and dying.
