I also need to get a Shingles shot. […] Gotta keep up to date with my vaccines.

For those old enough to need shingles shots (and likely some younger folks as well), check to see if you need a measles booster as well. I don’t know the data for most countries, but in the States, the advice is:

If you were born before 1957, you’re presumed immune (measles was incredibly prevalent).

If you were born after 1957 and vaxxed before 1967, you should get a booster shot (the original vaccine was weaker).

If you were vaxxed between 1967 and 1989, you should consider a booster shot (they thought you only needed one shot but you really needed two).

If you were vaxxed after 1989, you are presumed immune.

OP, that’s fascinating about the Swedish name for shingles! And thank you for protecting your health!

Poor little bitch boy scared to leave his bunker.

Of course they are.

Sounds like an easy way to get out of going to a dinner where he was going to get roasted.

A spokesman for Waymo told the Daily Mail the car was being manually driven at the time – and that the driver involved had been suspended.

This reminds me of the shit Tesla did: operate in autonomous mode until a fraction of a second before a crash and then disengage, placing the blame on the driver once the computer determined a crash was inevitable.

Sure, they’re no longer cuffing people in court, but there’s nothing stopping them from cuffing people once they leave the courthouse. Also

other controversial immigration arrests are still in place, including during routine check-ins at ICE offices.

I don’t know, somehow “hate” just doesn’t feel like a strong enough word …

Thank you for your service!

He got elected because his father was one of the more respected governors New Jersey had, and he was using those coattails. :(

He has a U-visa .

I’ve gotten it in my farm share a couple of times. It was okay, but not great, at least in my opinion. I suspect it might be one of those fruits that’s great when you’re out on the frontier, minimal fruit, no refrigeration, etc, but that it’s less exciting with the variety we have these days.

That said, if you want your paw paw to bear fruit, you’ll need to plant two of them: they (mostly) cannot self-fertilize.

Periodically check out KSU’s free paw paw seed giveaway; they don’t have any left at the moment, but should have some available once paw paw season starts. There’s also a guy on reddit who also does giveaways. Or check the Falling Fruit map to see if there are any trees near you.

Worth noting that DeSantis is trying to gerrymander Florida for Trump before the midterms. And the net effect of all the redistricting that’s been done so far would normally result in a grand total of one extra Democrat in the House.

Ah, okay, I got bored before the end of the article and missed that. Thanks!

“As of December 10, 2025, the Android version is no longer downloadable from the Google Play store.”

:(

I used to play the web version of Bee Sort. Unfortunately, I got stuck on level 371 and the web version doesn’t have the option to skip a level. Does the app version have that option?

9600 last year, so less than 1 in every 30000.

Good choice - I was going to suggest Simon Tatham’s Puzzle Collection.

They’ll also very happily deploy troops from red states to police the blue states.

Ah, yes, citizens, the people who have the right not to be deported …

Congratulations, The Onion!!!
