Just an update I came across: https://www.barrons.com/articles/fidelity-fintech-bitcoin-401k-51658523063?siteid=yhoof2&tesla=y Kevin Slater

If you want it moved, you can hit the three dots in the upper right and 'report' an issue. Kevin Slater

Oh, the three properties I already own have done great by me. Passive income means money while I sleep, let alone any capital appreciation. It's just that they're all paid off and I want to step back up to the table (albeit without going through the painful mortgage process again). Kevin Slater

Oh, I don't know. I've been asking for enforced Haiku for years now to no avail. Kevin Slater

A tender bruise was it for me. Then again, I never reacted to any of my Covid shots either. Kevin Slater

...and all gone in like five minutes. 17,000 slots. I'll post again next time I hear they open up appointments. One friend told me he got a slot yesterday just by continually checking the website (I guess if anyone cancels?) but that doesn't sound overly promising.

They can't turn over enough, if you know what I mean. 😜 Kevin Slater

There's a movie entitled The Messenger in which Woody Harrelson has that job in the military where he has to go tell the wife she's a widow. While training the new guy he explains don't say we lost him, he's gone, or any of the other euphemisms. If you do, inevitably there's confusion where the surviving spouse think he's gone awol and calls him a son of a bitch or soemthing. Just tell her he was killed or has died. Kevin Slater

Sorry for overposting this, but in case some don't read the Men's Health forum: NYC Alert: More monkeypox vaccine appointments go live at 6 p.m. tomorrow, July 22 vax4nyc.nyc.gov/monkeypox Kevin Slater

NYC Alert: More monkeypox vaccine appointments go live at 6 p.m. Friday, July 22 vax4nyc.nyc.gov/monkeypox Further details and discussion here.

I got some form, like with blanks that the nurse fills in by hand. Not sure I kept it. Kevin Slater

NYC Alert: More monkeypox vaccine appointments go live at 6 p.m. tomorrow, July 22 vax4nyc.nyc.gov/monkeypox I scored my appointment by using an iPhone, two iPads and two browsers, btw. Refreshed each til one hit. They'll ask a ton of demographic questions (do you identify as hispanic/latino, etc.) before snagging your spot, so be ready to blast past those. Last time slots filled in like five minutes, so maybe don't be too picky re. location or time slot. Kevin Slater

It popped today in tandem with Netflix's not-as-bad-as-expected results. Still pretty close to its 52 week low, and basically where it was seven years ago. Kevin Slater

I don't have the article on hand, but I read a statement by the CEO of the company that makes the vaccine saying that it has a long immune response memory (or something like that), meaning that the second dose could be given two years out and still be as effective. Kevin Slater

Thanks! Kevin Slater

@nycman @jerryskater Quick question: which vax do they give? Kevin Slater

bottom top = 9 characters? Oh, no, versatile = 9 characters. I'm slow. Kevin Slater

You lost me. Kevin Slater

Mod's note: gents, let's get back to the topic at hand.

I liked it a lot. Have you also checked out Heartstopper on Netflix? Kevin Slater

40 minutes in a long line, three with a nurse, then they make you wait 15 minutes to be sure of no reaction. The appointment is for a specific time, but you can disregard that and just show up at any point (on the same day, I'm guessing). They really just want to be sure you have a QR code reflecting a reservation. In theory we should get second shots, but they (appropriately) want to give everybody a first does first. Kevin Slater

Maybe something to do with an ad blocker? Kevin Slater

Just got my appointment for Sunday. NYC released a new batch today and this time the website didn't crash, but all slots (who you callin' a slot?) were filled in three minutes. Kevin Slater

It didn't take long for this thread to turn political. Locked to prevent further violations.
