I got my booster last fall. I just got Covid for the first time (that I know of) last week. Thought it was a minor head cold. Didn’t get a fever, didn’t get a sore throat.

I had slight fogginess, cough, sniffles, and was a bit tired. That’s about it. Lasted about four days. My wife didn’t get it at all. I’m sure the boosters helped us… even if it waned a lot since then.

The sucky part was that it was over the holiday weekend… and not during the work week so I could take time off.

They look like people who would volunteer for something like this. Hope there are at least four people who come out.

But seriously, good on them for helping with our future.

May I ask why you pirate crappy forgettable movies?

Some cars have that already. I rented a Hyundai Elantra recently when my car was being serviced. It came with Rear Occupant Alert. Ultrasonic sensors can detect if there’s movement in the backseat when a driver exits the vehicle.

Well, my expectations were really low for that so I didn’t mind that as much as others.

My expectations were slightly higher for this and so I didn’t enjoy it as much. It’s not the worst thing. It’s watchable, I got a few chuckles, but it’s simply meh. It didn’t need to be made, but for two hours, it’s fine.

I think it was about ten-fifteen years too late.

Well, the game I’m playing now is to see how many games I can add to my library that I intend to play later.

I’ve actually been playing this for years.

But seriously, I’ve finally got to playing Trombone Champ, fun little rhythm game. Bought the newish RoboCop, which I heard was good, but haven’t started that yet.

Yup… slightly different, a lot older.

I get that they want to keep it similar style, but man they didn’t take any risks.

It’s like watching episodic TV. There are no surprises.

Saw it. It was okay. Expect everyone to be old. Expect the writer to take the same beats as previous movies. There were a few lines that were funny, but Murphy is obviously not the same young kid from the first movies.

I liked it better than 3, but that’s not saying much. 1 and 2 were far better. Don’t expect a Top Gun: Maverick experience by any means.

We’ll just get robots to collect the used electronic waste.

Then we’ll get bigger robots to collect the used smaller robot waste.

Done, done, and done.

Maybe he thinks it looks like an actual football. Someone just hands one to him and says, “Now don’t you drop it.”
