Who had Super Sniffer in the Steph’s Powers Pool? You’re out.

I do hope you persist with only the “hey, that’s weird” symptoms.

That's the general goal of the monoclonal antibodies -- not to make the patient feel better, as much as to stop the patient from getting worse. That's fair.

Super Sniffer makes me picture thenCincinnati zoo anteaters, like Winsol

ETA he is in Nashville now. [link]

no one will let us change to Instructional Design Team because they like a pun acronym.

I have never met any group so enamored of punny acronyms as scientists who named their field campaigns. And then they would argue with me about capitalization and camel-casing things, because somehow it wasn't as funny in all caps.

Go monoclonal antibodies! Be very successful!

Rooting for the monoclonal antibodies indeed!!

Feeling a bit bummed tonight because of my tightest circle of friends, one already has the vaccine, one has been told she can get it as soon as she can grab an appointment, and one has a job that will likely allow her to be relatively high up. (None of them are direct healthcare workers! The two allowed to get it can work from home indefinitely!) I don’t begrudge them taking it if they can get it, at all, but I figured we’d all be far down on the list and am envious and fearful and mentally not sure how much longer I can take all this.

The engineers at my job love an acronym, but they don't necessarily make any sense. Like, they wanted to call a maker space DENIM (I forget what it stood for, if I ever knew). I tried to put my foot down, but they wandered away from that on their own.

Completely off topic but can anyone recommend a thing to buy/place to buy it? What I want is basically a thick sheet. I want to be able to put it over my bed and duvet, for when I occasionally allow the dog on the bed. Because I want to be able to frequently wash it. But I don’t need it to be a thick blanket, because that would be excessive if I’m under it, and seems like it would be harder to wash and dry. Want something big enough to cover the bed, not just a “throw”. I feel like a regular sheet isn’t quite thick enough though. Suggestions?

Oh no, they didn't make sense. Someone managed to contort the name of an IT tool into JALAPENO.

What about a flannel sheet? Flannel seems heavier to me than a regular sheet (percale? is that it?).
