Overseas. Before life catches up with you. I lived in London, Paris, Taipei, Moscow, Budapest, before settling in NYC. Thinking about retiring overseas too, soon.
Pepe's is still great, but if you are in New Haven and Pepe's is busy, or you want to try a different apizza, check out Modern Apizza. It is just as good and not nearly as busy. I usually stop there now when I'm driving through.
Sally's used to be great as well, but they sold out a while ago.
I use Express VPN when I'm in China. But I haven't been back since the pandemic started, and the crackdown on Hong Kong. Many of the best VPN servers were in HK, but they usually have options in several countries. Express is inexpensive and has great support.
Where in China are you? My experience has been that the Great Firewall is suffocating in the Eastern cities, but weirdly inconsistent in the West.

As the father of a 21 year old soldier, my heart is just broken for the families of those young men killed at Kabul airport. I can't imagine their pain right now.
Was not a college sports fan until I showed up in Ann Arbor the Fall of 1987 to begin my Ph.D. program. Took a couple of seasons but the enthusiasm of some of the faculty and staff I worked with got me interested. The football team kind of sucked my first year there, lost to State and Indiana but beat Alabama, but Bo turned it around in 1988 and we beat USC in the Rose Bowl. That was fun.
I have had many coffee brewers over the years, French press, Chemex, pour over Hario and Hario grinder, and I've settled on a Technivorm Moccamaster drip brewer. It yields great results - filters are very important, of course, as is your grind - while brewing a cup in 6 minutes without much intervention. It is the best drip brewer hands down, and the difference between this machine and any pour over option is not sufficient in my opinion to justify the effort.
However, it is *really* expensive (>$300). Not as expensive as a decent espresso maker, but expensive for a drip brewer. But if you love coffee and drink it every day, it's worth it. Hell I've spent more on a bottle of wine that doesn't last through dinner.
Just a reminder that these medal totals are subject to change over the next 10 years of biological sample retesting. And they definitely will change, some countries will lose 1 or 2 medals (probably including the US), and one country will probably lose a lot of medals (not China).
So let's revisit the subject in 2031 when the final totals are confirmed.
(We can finally talk about the London 2012 medal numbers now! That was when the retesting period was 8 years, so now we know who "won".)
An athlete doesn't have to abstain for a few months to pass a test, more like a few days. The rules are designed to punish "in competition" use, with a THC level 180 ng/ml or higher.
The rules are also quite lenient in that an athlete in almost any other country could still qualify. It's just that USTF selection process is unforgiving, vs other countries that make sure their best athletes qualify. If she had come down with a cold before the trials she'd be in danger of not making the team. Other countries don't do that.
Her sister posted on Reddit that Naomi's anxiety is in part a result of the press asking about her relatively poor performance on clay, which hurts her and seems to make her play worse.
Hard to see how this is a "mental health" issue, rather than an emotional maturity issue. She can't handle being asked publicly about her poor performance on clay, which makes her feel bad, wihich in turn impacts her performance. I think most of us feel bad when people point out our flaws in public. But it's part of what she signed up for, isn't it? It's quite a normal part of being a professional athlete.
On top of that, this is an issue of relative privilege, available to her only because she is incredibly wealthy compared with other players (over $50M in earnings last year). A $15,000 fine is a lot of money to most players on the tour, but it's nothing to her. The officials were correct to point out that it is a matter of fairness, but in fact to be truly fair, fines should be scaled to earnings. Put 2 more zeros on that fine, to be fair, and see if she refuses to talk to the press.
It's the noun that follows the quantifier that determines whether a singular or plural verb is used. And "a lot of" is an unusual, informal quantifier that can be used with countable and uncountable nouns. So "there are a lot of people in the room" is grammatically correct, as is "there is a lot of water in the basement."
Your son is in a position where he may not ever get a bachelor's degree, or not for a long time anyway. So if you have the money and he is at all motivated to just get it done, support him and do it even if it means he gets a BGS. I guess I'm trying to say the most important distinction here is not BA vs BGS, it's no degree vs BGS, from a great school no less.
I've hired lots of people in a career that is winding down now, he needs that degree more than any specific major right now. It will open some doors.
Both of my sons surprised me by majoring in economics, despite my assuring them that economists are generally full of shit (this coming from someone who minored in economics and took several econ courses in grad school at UM). My older son works on Wall Street but believe me when I say his major had little to do with it. My second son will be commissioned in the Army this May and will become a field artillery officer. So much for the econ major.
When I worked in Moscow in the 1990s, I had to pay my employees in cash. My bank was right next to a McDonald's, so every month I made a trip to the bank and exited with a McDonald's bag full of cash to make payroll. The bank insisted, since a big bag labeled "ING Bank" basically said "rob me."
Just finished a Firestone Pivo Pils and opened a Jai Alai. Will open a Gouges Les Pruliers later on to celebrate the start of a two-week vacation. With nowhere to go.
Reasons to celebrate: my wife, a nurse, starts vacation today too, and she'll get the COVID vaccine Monday. And I finished paying child support after 12 years! Got the final statement, I could have bought an apartment in Manhattan with that money. But I'm done!
It's a coin toss whether this turns into a permanent vacation, seriously considering just retiring in the New Year, even though I love my work and don't really think of it as "a job." Just tired and thinking about stepping aside to open things up for younger, hungrier people.
I always wonder why announcers or news anchors never seem to bother asking someone how Chinese names are pronounced, whether people or places. Most of them are pretty easy to say, ignoring tone, the romanization just makes it confusing.
His family name is pronounced "huh" but of course everyone is saying "hee".

We moved to Connecticut when I was a kid and the local New Haven beer was Hull's Export Lager, which was probably never exported anywhere. A decent, cheap beer that didn't survive the die-off in the 70s (<$1 a six pack).
Iron City and IC Light were really cheap alternatives from PA. And Mickeys Fine Malt Liquor in the wide mouth green bottle shaped like a barrel.

According to the Wisconsin DOJ, he wasn't carrying the knife, he said it was in the car. Police found it there after shooting him. And there was no mention of a gun, and one wasn't found. That's from state law enforcement. Where are you getting this information about a gun?
I've been through many hurricanes having grown up on the Connecticut shoreline and now splitting my time between NYC and Long Island. I've also been through tornadoes in Ann Arbor, Moscow (first one in recorded history of that city, 1998), and in NYC. And typhoons in Japan and Taiwan. I think the tornadoes were the least frightening because they happen so quickly and go away quickly too. Maybe I'd feel differently if one had hit my home.
I signed a year lease on a house for my son and his friends for their senior year, and the same thing happened: the hybrid learning program basically became all online at least for the fall. But my son and his housemates are all in ROTC so they have to be close to campus for training and mandatory officer mini camps, which are being done because summer training was canceled. So at least they quarantine together, and get tested by the army regularly. It's annoying especially since we are not too far from his university, but the financial burden isn't bad since he's on ROTC scholarship.
Here in NYC, it's not stuffy people who need someone to push a button. There are still some buildings with really old manually operated lifts. Often in pre-war co-ops full of stuffy people, but not always. It's expensive to replace them and sometimes impossible to be ADA compliant.
Ah, "grain elevator." Here I was picturing you wearing a double-breasted jacket with brass buttons, asking for floor numbers and turning a big brass lever.
You are confused on at least a couple of fronts. The CFR in Northeastern states is high due to a lack of testing during the height of the outbreaks there. We simply didn't have the resources when the shit hit the fan here in NY. So of course large numbers of cases were never identified before recovery. Now, with much more extensive testing going on in areas just hitting or just past peak, we see lower CFR's. This makes sense and has nothing to do with the quality of "the job" a particular state is doing.
Regarding New Zealand, get a grip: like most countries dealing with occasional outbreaks after successful initial management, they are talking about really small numbers compared to the US.
Not exactly. The 25% is a very rough approximation of the percentage of a sample that would be expected to have a LVEF within 2 units of the median. Instead, the authors reported the IQR as +/- 2, which would mean 50% of the sample. That's the basic statistical error. There are further problems with the reported medians not being close to known or accepted population parameters.
Yes, that's come up to. My wife is visiting a couple in their late 30s in Astoria, both of whom had the virus, the wife is ok, the husband had a stroke. They're both overweight and have hypertension.
Wouldn't some of these symptoms be expected of people who spend extended time on ventilators? I.e., are some of the cognitive impairment issues in part due to the extended treatment, in addition to the virus?
My wife is a visiting nurse in Queens who sees discharged COVID-19 survivors every day. She told me a couple of weeks ago that about 20% of her patients recovering from COVID seem to have heart issues. Young people, in their 20s and 30s, who can barely walk weeks after 'beating' the virus.
Nobody "sees" tattoos any more, except other people with tattoos. Nobody notices your dumb "sleeves," because too many people who look exactly like you have the same stupid meaningless shit on their arms.
There are many cultures where tattoos are a right of passage into maturity, or marital status, or rank, or whatever, where the tattoo is expected and therefore invisible, really. And that's what tattoos are in our society, except there is no underlying meaning. You're just another dumb person trying to stand out by doing something ten million other simpletons have done to try to stand out. And if it involves Chinese characters, then chances are you fucked up and it's *really* dumb.
BIG exception: face tattoos. If you have a face tattoo, then you in fact *have* a fucking tattoo.
Congratulations on your 30 years. While I drink regularly myself, it has been a problem in my (Irish American) family.
I was 8 years old the first time I helped my mom pull my dad out of his T-bird in the ditch at the bottom of the hill we lived on, and I cried. I was not much older, maybe 9, the second time I helped her pull him out, and I called him an SOB (I was terrified of my dad, this took guts). He got the message and checked himself into one of those detox programs in CT that cater to wealthy businessmen and celebrities, and he's been sober for over 45 years. He's 92 and going strong.
My uncle worked in the Rheingold brewery in Brooklyn when I was a kid, so there were always crates of Rheingold Extra Dry in the basement. I probably had my first beer when I was 10 or 11, in that basement with a friend.
Switched to Eero mesh last year and performance has been outstanding. Very stable, great coverage in a 3-story brick and stucco tudor. My house is wired for Cat 6 ethernet and I have Fios gigabit service, Eero passes that through in addition to relatively high-speed, stable wireless.
My son is entering his senior year, and he told me the other day he wishes he could postpone it. But he's on an ROTC scholarship so he doesn't really have a choice. It's not a financial issue since the Army is paying, it's more frustration with online courses and the reduced campus experience.
The Army had to cancel summer camps, so they're coming up with a plan to add training sessions throughout the school year so that they can commission an officer class next year.
Since you brought it up, why don't you go ahead and enlighten us on how David Dorn's murder can inform the Minneapolis council's decision. (And please, not some obvious "...if you get rid of the police (which they're not saying), people will be killed..." BS). Go ahead, an intelligent take on how the idea of rebuilding community-based policing needs to look at the fact that a thief killed someone in another city.
Obviously there's a lot of emotion and pent up anger and frustration based on very real, very horrible experiences by people of color with the police. But the one thing that always strikes me when we have incidents here in NYC is how the officers involved are *never* from the community they are policing. NYC does have a residency requirement when an officer is hired, but many move out of the city eventually. and rarely do they get recruits from the most crime-ridden neighborhoods. I think this is important. If George Floyd had been stopped by officers who lived in the same area he did, he'd probably be alive today. They'd probably be more likely to see him as a person who needs to be controlled but also helped in that situation.
Ok, so here in NYC about 40 police vehicles have been destroyed. That's about $1.3 million or so. Do you have any idea how much money the NYPD paid out just last year in legal settlements to compensate for the behavior of their officers? Over $230 million. For violence, lying, wrongful arrests, hiding evidence, etc.
That's year ending June 2018, and it's down from $335 million the year before.
Keep burning the cars until they get the fucking message.
Key point in the article: the couple hundred million doses will be manufactured, but they may not work. They will go into production in anticipation that they might work.
If you're going to go down this ridiculous line of 'reasoning,' then what about all of the lives saved by shutting down (parts of) the economy?
Far, far more deaths have been prevented by reducing accidents than have been caused by suicide, etc. This is demonstrably true, every time we enter a recession mortality dips initially, despite the suicides from job loss. And it's too early to say what the long term impact is.
I'm not advocating this line of reasoning, as I said it's ridiculous.
Yes, and it could even mutate and become harmless. Mutation is normal with RNA viruses, and not necessarily a nightmare scenario to lose sleep over. But another thing about those 'other known human coronaviruses': we don't have any vaccines to prevent them.
That's why I said it's more than likely that we don't actually cure this, either we find a way to effectively treat it, or it mutates to a point where it isn't as deadly, or...we just learn to live with a certain number of fatalities every year.

If you're going to go down this ridiculous line of 'reasoning,' then what about all of the lives saved by shutting down (parts of) the economy?
Far, far more deaths have been prevented by reducing accidents than have been caused by suicide, etc. This is demonstrably true, every time we enter a recession mortality dips initially, despite the suicides from job loss. And it's too early to say what the long term impact is.
I'm not advocating this line of reasoning, as I said it's ridiculous.
Yes, and it could even mutate and become harmless. Mutation is normal with RNA viruses, and not necessarily a nightmare scenario to lose sleep over. But another thing about those 'other known human coronaviruses': we don't have any vaccines to prevent them.
That's why I said it's more than likely that we don't actually cure this, either we find a way to effectively treat it, or it mutates to a point where it isn't as deadly, or...we just learn to live with a certain number of fatalities every year.
