Having a three day weekend every week is so nice. I don't think I could ever go back to 5/8 schedule. That's despite the fact that I still work 40 hour weeks. It kinda sucks to work 10 hours per day (and I'd much rather do 8), but it's worth it to have an entire extra day.

Shit, you're right

Bold of you to assume they'd even teach STEM.

Why would you want coins instead of paper bills?

The WHO only recommends vaccines for older people, immunocompromised people, pregnant people, and those in healthcare. This lines up with their flu vaccine recommendations.

The US is usually more aggressive with pushing vaccines: flu, COVID were recommended to everyone. The chickenpox vaccine is also recommended for kids, but that's not the case in lots of Europe (apparently).

Not necessarily. Some leftists demand conformity in beliefs. "If you don't believe XYZ, you're a shill/neoliberal/fascist etc."

I feel like favoring free thought and opposing conformity leads to arguments, but demanding conformity leads to enemies (like this meme).

My guy. It's "Buttery Males!"

I was cat sitting for my sister in law, and her cat jammed her whole face deep into my shoe and sat there for a minute. When I got home, my cat did the same thing on the same shoe. After that I was pretty self conscious about stinky feet.

Can confirm. My cat doesn't give a crap about catnip. She does go crazy for the smell of stinky feet though.

This happened to me at work. I was talking to the chief engineer, and he handed me one of the products he was working on.

Thinking it probably was worth $100,000 I asked how much it was worth. He said "Oh about a million dollars"

Then why'd you hand it to me?!

It's cool but holy moly!

Sure, but he was the very first person to ever fly in space so that definitely counts for something. Additionally, he could control the spacecraft if there was an emergency.
