51 candidates (so far) in the race for Alaska’s member of the House of Representatives! [Click] In California's 2003 special gubernatorial election [Click] there were 135 candidates; but for a state with such a low population, Alaska seems already spoiled for choice. Alas, the filing deadline has now passed. Among the 2003 California candidates whom I remember, there was the railway switchman (who better to get the state back on track?), the judo wrestler (obviously able to interact effectively with the legislature), and the ninety-six (or thereabouts) years old candidate (obviously the most experienced). I see that the Alaska election has California 2003 beat in a couple of ways: mail-in voting and ranked choice voting. Oh, and they have a jungle primary, with the top four advancing to the general election.
False attribution of agency. A ruble, a worthless token of debt, cannot cover or recover. Promising something that cannot physically be accomplished is a convenient deception in that it relies on the assertion that the mark should know better than to be deceived. so the deception is his own fault. Promoters are now apparently required to announce that "investment risks loss." but that just affirms that bad results are the victim's fault.
We had Pfizer for our two vaccine doses and Pfizer for our first booster. But we would have had to wait until Weds to get a second booster of Pfizer, so we decided to mix and do Moderna, to get it today. And! Turns out it's a half dose! Apparently you still get the benefit of it but with lessened side effects. We're testing that out. I was soooo miserable with the Pfizer doses (harsher each time), so I am hopeful that this won't be as bad.
Well, good luck; we had Pfizer the first three times, and no significant side effects--a day's lethargy at most, which I figure is pretty good for a virus completely new to us. The "Moderna Rash" can be pretty weird, but only some people get it. Keep us advised!
Putin’s War continues to remind me of Russia’s entry into WWI; with an army of 6.5 million, it was considered by many to be the greatest power, and surely a deciding factor in the war. It didn’t work out that way. Here’s a little background. [Click]
By December, 1914, the Russian Army had 6,553,000 men. However, they only had 4,652,000 rifles. Untrained troops were ordered into battle without adequate arms or ammunition. And because the Russian Army had about one surgeon for every 10,000 men, many wounded of its soldiers died from wounds that would have been treated on the Western Front.
Love it! and congrats! xox

That's half of the original Moderna dose, which on a microgram basis was significantly stronger than the Pfizer dose.

DeleteI've had the Moderna each time. Lethargic the following day, but nothing more.
Delete101.4°F so far,
Deletewith all the chills + aches + shakes that go with it. Good thing it was a half dose 2nd booster.
J7J first time, and no idea what the booster was. No side effects at all for any of 'em. What's wrong with me?
