Say you want something more padded and it'll be perfect for Vegas. I'm a new balance 1080 and fresh foam more fan, but it's worth those extra few bucks to buy local and get the best fitting shoes of your life for all the walking you are about to do.

You will be so happy. I am half way through getting allergy shots and I don't feel like I'm about to choke on my own snot every day. The singulair and massive amount of Allegra are working too.

That's a tough one. At this point the most delicate things I own can easily be packed with my clothes as padding and it's great.

I went in underpaid and didn't get a COLA this year so I'm interviewing. Interviewed for my dream job and just being considered makes it hard to concentrate on the mess in my current role. Hope you can get some good interviews too.

Were you at DEFCON? It was sad seeing all the crypto bros in the formerly quiet and nerdy little corner that was the AI village.

Hopefully you never need it, but if you do get COVID the new research on metformin is really promising. I took it after a "friend" tested positive while staying in my house and didn't get COVID. Reduces viral load and risk of long covid.

I think you might have tagged the wrong person by accident. I haven't collaborated with William and Mary and this sounds like international relations. I'm more likely to think of IR as incident response or interventional radiology.

I love when this happens. Really wish I could forget the Halloween ribbon I ordered instead of wondering when it will arrive. 😂

At least the basic trim is an option if you lose your job or don't have enough energy for all the brushing. My poodle might have a few ugly puppy cuts, but hopefully I'll learn by the time they are ready for more public access. 😂

I have heard so many good things about poodles. The grooming cost kept me from getting one before, but I think I'm going to learn to trim them myself. All over shave with a clipper guard. I met a poodle with a low maintenance cut and liked it.

Malinois aren't great for people with limited mobility because of their exercise needs, unfortunately. They are prone to overexcitement and reactivity. I'll probably get a poodle next. They can be high drive, but not so much one and done with getting attacked by another dog.

And different breeds and lines of dogs are better for different tasks. I have a malinois for gluten detection. I won't get another one, but the trainer said it was a good idea (it's not, quit working with that trainer). I'm making it work because she loves it.

Linear algebra was one of the worst courses I ever took. As long as you survive, everything else will feel easier.

We'll see. 48 hours since first exposure and I have a sore throat. I'm hoping it's allergies, but I'm isolating because I don't want to pass it on. If I test positive I'm getting antivirals this time so hopefully it won't be as bad.

No, unfortunately. It's so helpful for so many things it really should be.
