I try to even clip mine into a bit of a V (but very subtle; ~10°). Had a friend teach me that in college. It feels weird for a day or two but I haven’t had ingrown nails since.

As someone who built up a business working 80+ hrs; fuck that guy. 5 years ago I was paying part timers$26/hr and my only full time (salary) - told him 30 hrs/week max. It was my risk/investment, not theirs. I didn’t want them to get burned out. Happier employees perform better.

Fully agree. My employees have unlimited sicks days. If they’re not feeling well, I’d rather they stay home and rest up. We work with schools so spread happens so quick and easily.

If you stay away from people when you’re sick that definitely helps. The only drawback that is you may be contagious before showing symptoms.

Getting boosters help reduce spread and reduce risks of complications from viruses (like getting an annual flu shot or Tdap boosters). Not everyone can get the vaccine (i.e. they’re allergic) or individuals may have weakened immune systems and their body can’t produce enough antibodies. If the community continues to test and get boosters, it helps everyone stay healthier and potentially save lives.

Just because it’s endemic doesn’t mean there’s no more action needed. Hospitals may not be packed like they were (although they still get busy with COVID during peaks stressing the system), it doesn’t mean that you can’t help protect others.

One of the positive things that came from this pandemic is at home tests (not just for COVID). By testing when sick (whether it’s the flu, COVID, rsv, etc… I’ve had COVID where I really thought it was allergies. Was about to go out to meet with friends and figured I’d test just in case. Sure enough I was positive with what felt like mild hay fever (it was summer time). I’m just glad I tested and didn’t get anyone else sick.

I agree. I feel like many people aren’t testing. I had it very mild in June of 2023. I thought it was allergies but tested and sure enough; positive. My fiance thought she had a cold in November of 2023 but decided to test and it was positive. Meanwhile all these people around us have “colds” but aren’t actually testing. I somehow escaped it when my fiance had it so I got a booster last month hoping I can escape this wave and help cut the spread.

May I ask why? My old town had about a dozen golf courses when I was growing up. Now when I drive by it’s all housing developments other than the few that remain. It used to be a more rural area.

I’d much rather see green space and golf courses than housing developments. While I completely agree that there is a housing shortage, it appears that root issue isn’t solved by more housing developments on golf courses. Instead, why not convert existing buildings (such as unused office spaces) into public housing. Or, prevent corporations or investment firms from buying up real estate/housing to turnaround and jack up costs.

I may be biased but I’ve had these views before picking up golf. I mainly use golf as a way to stay active as I’m getting older and get outside in the fresh air.

You can get wireless IP cameras and put them on a separate wireless network that does not connect to the internet.

As a small business owner: nothing. My employees have been extremely productive being able to work from home. We already drive more than the average job. Driving to the office just watses time and money for everyone. We use our office now for storage more than anything else.

I remember it as well. That’s when I started buying unlocked phones and rooting them to get around having to pay. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out there wasn’t a fee anymore. I really hope that having to pay for hotspot isn’t coming back.
