Thanks. I really really got exposed to covid in the last two days, at least 3 people (2 of which for an extended time) plus my son.

I am sorry for your loss.

What a shame, so sorry to hear this.
All we can do is use cases like this to educate anyone on the fence. I know I'm hard on them on this site but in real life when I meet anyone refusing it I just diplomatically and positively encourage, we can't berate people into it. Who knows, you may make a difference to someone and there's no harm in trying.

Back from a busy few days in London. I’ll self isolate from Mrs AFB until the morning, then take a lateral flow test.
A bit of a rant, I guess: It strikes me that The Other Place disabled comments on an article about Apple’s homepage update to commemorate the holiday today. A post that shouldn’t be all that controversial — sure, perhaps some criticism over a megacorporation hawking justice — gets the “too controversial for comments” stamp.
Amazing what years of inconsistent and/or incompetent moderation will do, since who in their right mind doesn’t share King’s ideals? A post like that should, if absolutely nothing else, be an excellent honeypot to ban the most vile forum posters…but no.

Well I now read he was an anti-vaxx, anti-mask, pro-Drumpher, denied climate science ... so I guess YERMV ... Art vs. Artist ... etc.

Always liked Louie. A true friend of many other comedians. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall told the hilarious story of having to have a "token" white character in "Coming to America" in order for it to be made. Louie was an instant choice because he was so likable.FFS ...

If you were born to be cool, it starts at this age:
Listening is a such lost art.
People are just waiting to talk, and when they do, it's often not even a response to the conversation, they're in their own head . Seriously, I've been pretty effective in life and business by shutting the fuck up, listening intently, giving the other person/people some cues that I'm engaged, and when I speak, giving the communication some room to breath.
It's just astounding. I'm experiencing it right now.

Just returned from my trip to Europe and the thing I noticed the most is the outspokenness against Russia that wasn’t present in previous trips. I wonder why?! It is good to be back with the critters, they are happy to see me, I have the key to the treat jars!
