Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

News on the AstraZeneca vaccine. "Update on Oxford/AZ vaccine- UK approval in coming days, aims to vaccinate 2 million with Oxford or Pfizer within 2 weeks. 8-10x cheaper than Pfizer, keeps in fridge, vaccine type safe in children, the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions. Shows 95% efficacy & is “100% effective” in preventing severe illness, says AZ CEO."

I haven't seen an unlocked article yet, but this is sourced on Twitter.

Does anybody here have a SodaStream device? Do you use it a lot and would recommend it? R, the roommate, expressed a desire not to be schlepping huge bottles of soda around (she mostly drinks flavored seltzer anyway), and it would make a decent late Xmas gift, I think, but I know not much of the carbonated world.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Love my SodaStream! Excellent gift.

Sometimes, yeah

I loved mine and used it all the time. I don't drink much carbonated stuff anymore, but, yeah, if bubbly water is her thing, it's a great gift.

Trudy, I said the same thing to my DP. It was uncanny during a few parts of WW. The delivery was eerily similar sometimes.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The one thing that has kept me from getting a soda stream is that I like seltzer that has flavor without adding calories or artificial sweetener, and I don't know how I would recreate that on my own.

I love my SodaStream. And it's held up for 13 years so far.

Like fruit flavors? SodaStream has those, with no sugar and no artificial sweetener: [link]

Neat! I did not realize they had that.

Thanks, 2020. Love wondering if I can't smell and taste things because of covid or just because my entire face is congested. Pretty sure it's the congestion.

Yikes Dana. Good luck.

I felt like I was doing so well, hadn’t had hardly any migraines but now I’ve had like three in the past week. Mild, which is good, but I feel like it’s seasonal and they’ll just keep being terrible for the next couple months. Not sure why—light? Vitamin D? Something I’m allergic to? Ugh. Good news is my doc put more on my rx when I needed it refilled last time. Not sure if she meant to or not but my insurance approved it, so I at least don’t have to worry about running out (though I also don’t want rebounds, but this way I can have a pill stashed in a few different places, or take two if needed, which I’m allowed to do).

I have a soda stream. I think it’s great except remembering to get mew canisters is a pain. And eventually the bottles get kind of gross, but you can buy new ones.
