            Complaining about vaccine side effects [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

            Got my COVID and flu vaccines yesterday when I went in for my quarterly PreP labs and... Hoooboy. I don't normally have the side effects but I'm feeling rough.

            Lethargy kicked in 2 hours after getting the shots. But I still couldn't get to sleep until after 11. I woke up at 330am wide awake, mind racing, after a few wild dreams. Now, 3 hrs later and I'm feverish on the couch. I know it'll pass soon but damn. Still better than the flu or COVID.

            But after a cup of chamomile tea, a nice hot shower, and now back to lying in bed, I at least feel a little more comfortable 😁

                  Complaining about vaccine side effects [SENSITIVE CONTENT]@James@woof.group When you feel crappy after a vaccine/booster, just remember that's a good thing: the stronger your body's response, the more antibodies it's making and preparing for a future infection. It's when you have no response to a vaccine/booster that you should worry.

                      Today is the day the Black Panthers were founded. As a disabled person, I'm going to remember how the coalition they built with Disabled people and their support during the 504 protests are the reason we even have the ADA today.

                      As a gay person, I'm going to remember how Huey Newton gave speeches to defend gay rights and how the Black Panther movement literally changed minds during the civil rights movement on how gay people were perceived.

                      And I'm going to think of the Black Panthers who NEVER CAME HOME to fight that fight for us and thank every power I know they made that sacrifice.

Confounding factors: we have different length arms, and I'm not sure which is a better match for 5G wavelengths. Also, I use a computer a lot more, which means that the extra microchips I've just been injected with will help me a lot more.

It says “Most of the time, a window on the desktop can't show you the entire directory or document all at once, even when you've made the window very large. There's often more information than can fit in the window at one time.” With a MacPaint-generated papyrus scroll featuring a square demonstrating the visible content.

                                    usual sequence:

                                    - we would be approached by the just newly hired VP of eng
                                    - he would explain how they just got their $25M check
                                    - he would whiteboard the engineering concept they'd pitched to get the check
                                    - he would admit that he had no idea if that was even possible
                                    - he would beg us to tell him how to make that possible so he could cash in his stock options
                                    - we would politely explain that they had somehow convinced the VCs that a teleporting unicorn that pooped popcorn and wish him luck in his next endeavor

                                                          This morning, someone launched into a technical explanation of a computer component for my benefit, without even bothering to check if I might know a thing or two. Initially, I just listened, but then I had to step in to correct a slight inaccuracy - one that could have actually caused problems.
                                                          I was promptly verbally assaulted and told that ignorant people should remain silent and listen instead of talking back. I politely retorted that, in principle, they were right, but that the specific thing they'd just said was incorrect and could mislead the others listening.
                                                          Nope. They doubled down, told me to be quiet or leave, since I was so determined to "remain in my ignorance".

                                                          In the end, I just fell silent and let it go. I now pretend to believe that SSD and NVMe drives have tiny, high-speed rotating platters inside - miniature ones, of course - that spin so fast that if the power is cut, their momentum keeps them going long enough to finish writing the data, preventing any loss. It all makes perfect sense now.

We didn't speak up loudly enough when they disabled vpns and icloud encryption in the PRC so now they blithely wipe out apps in the USSA. A third mobile platform that is open source with webapps is a good way to move on from the duopoly of jails.

China requires non-local content to pass through its Great Firewall; American law permits and protects apps such as ICEBlock.

Further, that particular app has not been specifically shown to factor into the DHS claims of doxxing.

                                                                                                                  Also, we all knew this time was coming, so make sure that those of you who have the app don't delete it, because Apple is not removing it from your phones if you have it already installed.)

Apparently he liked the idea of a load of dodgy lads smoking on the balcony throwing empty tinnies over the wall.

A website that you wrote the HTML yourself is infinitely better than any template-based website you pulled from somewhere else.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              If you think it’s going to be too much work, I promise you, fiddling with a template-based solution is going to—somehow—be more work, especially to maintain as the framework, template, or font changes without you knowing.

Im Vordergrund befindet sich eine grüne, steinige Landschaft mit mehreren Lego-Figuren, die als Hüften und Beine dargestellt sind, anstatt der tatsächlichen Porträts der Präsidenten. Diese Figuren sind in einer Reihe angeordnet und sitzen auf einem felsigen Hügel. Kleine grüne Bäume sind um die Figur gruppiert. Vor der Darstellung steht ein Schild mit der Aufschrift "MOUNT RUSHMORE (CANADIAN SIDE)". Die Hintergrundumgebung ist einigermaßen unscharf, mit einem professionellen Umfeld, das auf eine Ausstellung oder einen Workshop hinweist.

Im Vordergrund befindet sich eine grüne, steinige Landschaft mit mehreren Lego-Figuren, die als Hüften und Beine dargestellt sind, anstatt der tatsächlichen Porträts der Präsidenten. Diese Figuren sind in einer Reihe angeordnet und sitzen auf einem felsigen Hügel. Kleine grüne Bäume sind um die Figur gruppiert.
