@freemo It's all Adam and Eve's fault! Damn religion!

@skells Good to know. ;) But I've always made it a point to say 'Coca Cola' because Pepsi is just awful and I don't get why people think that's a cola at all!

Funny detail: the sign for 'cola' is a 'shot in your arm' here. :P I'd probably better not use Dutch sign language over there huh? :D

@freemo

@skells Not sure what difference drinking cola makes over there...

(I don't drink alcoholic stuff ;) )

@freemo

@jwildeboer Ick. I just read in the news, only 60+ get AZ now over there.

And over here... there is a 'scandal' going on, apparently we 'missed' a deal about a year ago where we could've gotten so much more AZ vaccins now if we didn't miss it. Lots of arguing now between the coalition and the opposition. And considering AZ apparently is a troublesome vaccin compared to the others.. I'm just rolling my eyes at that and thinking that we maybe actually avoided a disaster? :P I'll never understand the blame culture of politics.

@freemo Well, younger me would totally stick out a tongue towards you. It hurts!

:P

But as far as I remember, I only needed to do that tetanus shot at the medical facility. Don't know about the others.

Your idea of vaccinations might be a tad not fully in line with what's already happening in your country. 'Twas all I wanted to say. Whether you want to look up more info about this or not is up to you.

@khird

@freemo In my country this vaccine would be recommended to do every 10 years. I think my last shot before then was roughly around that time ago. (Got bitten by a dog in my torso, owie. Got a tetanus shot immediately from doc. Don't know which I found worse, the dog bite or the shot. :P)

@khird

@freemo I suppose they just go jab you themselves, like they did with me? Unless, of course, you wanted to abort this whole study thing and go back home.

And even if you have proof.. I was vaccinated already, but they shrugged and vaccinated me again. Who knows, maybe I've been nanoteched up already. :P

@khird

Oh hey, GOG is giving away XIII. Grab it while it lasts!

@freemo It's been over 20 years, and as a teenager I wasn't too interested in details. In fact, I was annoyed I needed a shot, I hate needles. ;)

But considering they signed along that it is a 'stiff jaw' disease, I think it's likely tetanus.

@khird

@jwildeboer Oh, how comes? Have the workarounds found for AZ's sideeffects not been sufficient?

@fluffy Two weeks? Two days you mean?

Didn't get too much done. Slowly catching up on work though.

@mur2501 Of course. But I got the impression from @freemo that [showing proof of vaccination] wasn't acceptable [outside of the nursing/medical field]. That's why I piped in.

(For the 'official documents' there was no mention of the Tetanus vaccine. I had to scramble up a doctor's note (from overseas, when internet was fairly new, fun!) and show it to the medical facility that I indeed had this vaccination. No immigration department involved for this.)

@khird

@mur2501 I already had that vaccination before, though. But they determined it to be invalid by that time. And I did need to show proof of vaccination. Not sure why it's that much different from within your own country. Either way it is still 'showing proof of vaccination'.
@freemo @khird

@freemo
I just wanted to pipe in that when I went to study abroad (in DC, USA, late 90's), I was required to get a Tetanus vaccination. Otherwise I would not be allowed to study there. My last Tetanus shot was too long ago according to them. So I got a (painful) shot from one of the nurses in that university's medical facility. My study was not in a medical field. All (foreign?) students had to do this.

Bored? Time to go play some Fontemon, then!

@casualwp Mmm a personal hair dryer...

With a massage? ;)

@DavitMasia Funny, but now her expression makes no sense as he's actually admiring her! ;)

@fribbledom Was it carrying The One Ring?

@MicroSFF 😂

@soundwave I don't remember specifics. Eating your own kind is not exactly healthy, but I don't recall if it's specific parts of body (e.g. the brain, that's definitely not good for you) or all of it.

But if it's just specific parts that'd be bad for you, and lab grown meat with your own cells is proven to be pretty nutritious and healthy, then I'm not really seeing a huge issue. I mean, it's just a bunch of cells. It's very abstract. You're not going to see a human there. All you see is a piece of meat.

I think it's kinda the same kind of psychological trick that many people experience upon seeing meat in the supermarket. They just don't associate it with the animals anymore, or not as strongly, because that is just a piece of meat on display.

So if marketed right, a lot of people could probably switch over easily. ;) That is, if it's not intervening with their ethics. Although, is it more ethical to eat animal meat instead of your own meat? Another thing to ponder about!
