The top 3 are all this.

I assume you’re Canadian. This is a problem across North America. Almost nowhere is safe now.

The construction industry scaled way back in 2008, and it never really scaled back up in North America. We’re not building enough to keep pace with population growth and to replace aging homes.

We need to build, not blame each other.

The guy above you is pretty rude, but if you’re curious, The Daily had a good piece on housing prices.

Like most economists, they believe it is a supply problem. But more importantly, they claim that many North American contractors downsized or went out of business during the 2008 mortgage crisis, that industry never scaled back up, and were simply not building at the rate we were 20 years ago.

In other words, we need to incentivize and more people getting into construction.

(And now the construction industry is worried that Mexican labor will get deported under Trump, so, oof)

I’m lucky enough to have dual EU nation citizenship from my childhood. Going to be digging through my childhood paperwork in case I need it.

It was very close. As predicted, the battleground states all came down to 1 or 2 percent. Everything fell within the margins of error.

Unfortunately, the 1 or 2 percent leans all went in Trump’s direction.

We both know you are not safe.

Don’t know if this is sympathy or if you’re out front of their door in a bush right now.

Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennials… “I wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.”

It’s certainly legal to be that one random dude sunbathing in Delores Park during the handful of days that are warm enough. The rest of San Francisco is rocking jeans and a light jacket / hoodie. That is the official Bay Area dress code.

Save the grape for me.

Depends on the country and what your situation is. Speaking for the US, there are free shot programs.

assumed you were an anti vaxxer

Far from it. I’m collecting the whole set. 😆

Yeah, now that I think about it, it was the second shot of my first vaccination that knocked me out for a day.

My subsequent 2022 and 2023 boosters have been uneventful now that my body seems to know what’s up.

But we’ll see. I have my 2024 booster today.

Ditto for multiple vaccine shots.

First vaccine: Immune system went hard to attack the new thing.

Subsequent vaccines: Immune system has seen the song and dance before. Just a sore arm.

You can still get covid if you’re vaccinated. Lots of us have. The vaccine’s primary goal is to significantly lower your chances of getting serious illness.

That said, the risk of myocarditis from COVID is higher than the risk of myocarditis from vaccination. And unless you think you’re never going to get covid, you should probably just get vaccinated if you want to make a rare thing (myocarditis) even more rare.

Edit: what’s the deal with the downvotes? This is all stuff the FDA and CDC agrees with.

Dope mural painters from Fitzroy: “Wait, who in the fuck decided Rachael was going to represent us?!”

I’ve had it done couple times to attempt stop tachycardia. My heart used to randomly get stuck in sinus rhythm at 180bpm, which was annoying.

Adenosine blocks electrical signals through the atrio-ventricular (AV) node for a second or two. So you appear to flatline on an ECG. It never worked for me. A Diltiazem injection was what reliably worked to reset my rhythm.

I’ve since had a cardiac ablation to fix my hearts fucked up wiring. A doctor sends a scope into an artery in your leg, travels up to your heart, finds the cells that are causing electrical impulses to loop uncontrollably, then burns them.

It’s about a 45 min procedure door to door, and it’s the equivalent of removing some excess solder from a bad circuit board. So yet another IT department inspired fix.

Florida State alumni I presume?
