^ that sucks. I flew United on New Years Eve. While we were taxiing to the gate the flight attendants announced that there were passengers w/ a tight connection, everyone look around to see who has their hand up, and let those people off first. It was a full 737, and it seemed like the majority of passengers let the people with connections off first.

I too, have seen this recently. It probably happens a lot despite what the boomers in here will tell you.
Also parted the seas of the dumbass aisle-cloggers with my son who had to take a shit during the landing. As soon as that seatbelt turned off we got up, and I kept repeating "gotta poop!" and people moved out of the way like the hong kong protesters did for EMS. It was glorious. But this was a domestic Canadian flight so maybe we aren't all as mean to each other. I dunno.

First
I hate the fucking wind. Grew up in North Dakota. Hate it.
I have an Engle cooler that has been “on a truck out for delivery” from fed ex everyday since Dec 14th. It’s either weather or occupational delay or something. I’ll probably get it in spring. Meanwhile fed ex has delivered shit to my house every other day. WTF????

Theater is a feeling, yes.
Beacon, shovel, probe, PLB, airbag, first aid kit, sacred socks, avi-1 class, Fox 40 whistle, new batteries, bivy sack...
Which one makes you "safe?"

I think testing is theater at this point. Shit that annoys me: the ongoing mocking of requiring masks in public spaces but allowing people to remove their mask to eat. Masks reduce transmission, they don’t stop it. Masking half the time reduces transmission half the time. That’s better than not reducing transmission at all. This shit isn’t binary.
focus.

Fed X has my skis. They said they would arrive the 4th. I was planning on skiing the 5th-8th with them. Checked tracking everyday and it showed nothing other than origin in SLC until today. Today it shows my skis are in Iowa out for delivery even though I live in Michigan. Good times.

At this point I am happy to do what I can to reduce infecting someone with a compromised immune system or little kids, but those who didn't get vaxed can fuck off, as they are trending on my liberties. Like Macron said, it is time to piss the non vaxed off.

I've seen it happen effectively, but it seems more the exception than the rule.
Here's a good one for you: My wife needed our landline ported over to cell temporarily so we could reset an old password (needed to authorize by text). She did screw up in thinking the landline was AT&T and it wasn't, but in any event she needed the line switched back to a landline afterwards because it works better for her Zoom meetings. She called CenturyLink on something like November 15th to tell them she needed the line ported back and it still hasn't been done. She's been on the phone with them several times and for hours and all they ever say is that the issue has been "escalated" and should get done, but it never does. They've given her no information on why something so simple hasn't been done. I told her yesterday that at this point it's taken longer than it did for Alexander Graham Bell to actually invent the telephone.

Corporate voice mail messages that have begun with “We are experiencing greater than normal call volume ...” for the past two fucking years! Greater than what ? 2019?
They really need to work on coming up with better excuses.Damn, we're in a tight spot!

That's mostly true, but if you're one of the immunocompromised, organ transplant, cancer survivors, old, or just plain unlucky - well that it's MOSTLY true isn't a lot of comfort.
And really I think we should be much less cavalier about spreading the common cold and flu too.
There's no law against being a jerk and spreading your germs about carelessly. But that doesn't mean it's a good plan and you get a pass for doing so.
(I thought I'd add this; Not sure how it holds up in the Omicron era, but an infection in a 50 year old UNVAX'd person is about the same risk to an 80 YO fully vax'd person. So, yeah, there's a bunch of really elevated risk the older you get, regardless of vaccination status. So, carrying an infection to your *fully vax'd* 70YO grandma is still pretty risky. I get your point that people who refuse to get vax'd can't /shouldn't complain when they die - but sadly they're not the only ones dying. The proportion may be small, but the health-fragile simply don't cope with small bumps in the road well.)
