I got cut with a box cutter about 20 years ago in an attempted mugging walking from a tittie bar to my car a few blocks away. I had left my cigarettes in the car, so I left my friends to go back for them. He barely got me and I pushed off him and ran for my life. I may have thrown a half ass punch, I don't remember, I certainly told people I hit him when I told the story long ago. I bought a shot, took it to the restroom to pour on the cut and stuck a paper towel to it like a shaving cut. Zipped up my jacket and stayed in the tittie bar the rest of the night. It healed nicely, you can feel the scar better than you can see it. A box cutter is really a poor weapon against today's level of pissed off air passengers.
As many people as I came into contact with last weekend due to the funeral and the resort we stayed at when we traveled there, I'll be stunned if we don't get COVID in the next day or so. Hundreds of people, maybe thousands due to the hotel, were near me, invading my bubble.

Has any of you former Covid patients had lingering issues with strange smells? Since I got over it, every now and then I'll smell ( and screw you in advance for laughing ) the odor of a stale fart. Go ahead and laugh, I'll wait. But the first night I noticed it, I thought one of our sons was pounding "cushion creepers" into my recliner. Or maybe the dog. Or the wife. I brushed my teeth, thinking maybe it was me. I'd just showered, so it wasn't me. The next night I told my wife and she of course burst out laughing, but then assured me that it was all in my head and she didn't smell anything. It comes and goes now, but still happens. Along with mild brain fog which a friend noticed recently. But I hadn't heard of people smelling weird smells and wondered if anyone else experienced this.
are you sure you hadn’t just not been smelling your farts, and now you’re starting to notice them? i couldn’t smell my farts for a long time. It was glorious. For me.
CA is waiting until just *after* the Super Bowl to lift theirs. Makes sense with the SB being in CA and all. I'm sure the ~70,000 fans will fully comply with the state mandate of mask wearing. I mean, I'm sure they'll follow Newsome and Garcetti's example of mask wearing at the NFC Championship.
I'm just waiting for the Raiders fans who are bitter and have nothing better to do during the game to start the rioting early and start flipping trucks in this asshole convoy that's supposed to materialize.
This isn’t 1983. Raiders fans will be busy adding more gaudy bullshit to their faux-intimidating Broadway musical costumes that everyone laughs at them for wearing. They’re right at home in Vegas, since they all dress like showgirls these days. The cool Raiders fans who throw batteries at opposing teams and knife you for not wearing black are as dead as Lyle Elzado.

A friend of mine is experiencing this also, and his weird smells are like sewage or feces. I’ve heard some talk on podcasts about this. Apparently a major function of smell is to keep us away from things that could harm us, including spoiled food and poop. The theory is that when your sense of smell isn’t functioning properly your brain will manufacture phantom smells, usually bad smells, perhaps in an effort to keep you “safe”.
If my asshole is blasting farts and I don’t realize it, I’ve got bigger issues than post-Covid weirdness. My wife is reading a study to me right now that about 10% experience this and it sometimes takes weeks or months, the average being 3-6 months, to resolve. Some people smell what they describe as skunk. That I could live with.
Interesting... seems that antibodies from vaccination are 17 times more present than from natural immunity. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-06629-2
Next think you will tell me is that you don't even need to catch COVID to get that level of protection. Seventeen times the benefits of bug chasing with none of the bug chasing what will science think of next? Landing on the moon?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/17/us-excess-deaths-pandemic-cdc https://public.tableau.com/app/prof...mort_withcauses_02162022/NumberOfExcessDeaths 1 Million excess deaths since this started. Also, COVID means you are more likely to have heart, brain, and mental health issues. At this point, I'm curious about these studies to see if they are using participants that are just in absolutely shitty health in general, and confounding it, or if COVID does actually make everything worse.
I’m on a plane right now, and before we took off the pilot said, “Good afternoon everyone, in case you weren’t aware, if you take your mask off and don’t put it back on when a member of the flight crew tells you to, we will land this plane and throw you off of it.” Im guessing he’s just about had it with the morons challenging with the mask requirements.
Boy, you've been on flights where they throw 5 year olds off? Do they at least give them a parachute?
