I've noticed this on multiple posts: are all the state abbreviations correct? You have all of New England, except you're missing MA (Massachusetts), and all states are mid-to-north East Coast states (we'll allow PA due to Philadelphia 🙂), except you have added NE (Nebraska), seemingly randomly...

My wife was wiped out for a few days by her second. I had mild flu-like symptoms for a day or so for my second. So easy (I got mine at CostCo!) and so much better than getting shingles! Just Do It!

While I'm super-happy for a real NE winter this year (I love seasons, even snowy ones...) I confess I've not been brave enough to commute on my bike for the last few weeks of snow. Cold I don't mind but I've taken too many falls to risk snowy/slushy/icy roads anymore. I'm rooting for you!

My daughter (mid-20s) loves this album so much she got a tattoo inspired by Birdhouse In Your Soul. Hard to believe it's 35 yo this week... still great!

The thing is, third party fact checkers don't censor anything. They check facts. It's META that decides how to respond to people posting the lies and conspiracy theories that fact checkers discover. If Meta is upset with "censorship", they should look in the mirror not at the fact checkers.

#TimotheeChalomet was very good as always. I'm always skeptical he can pull off these roles (Paul Atreides? Bob Dylan? *Willy Wonka*?) but he does it. I checked "The Very Best of Bob Dylon" on Spotify and... no "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"? His best song ever? WTF??? No truth in advertising.

The bad news is that there is SO MUCH ifdef'd code in the old parser for handling Windows, OS/2, DOS, and VMS that I almost despair of ever getting it working again on those systems. Especially since I own none of them and can't easily test there.

I guess there's nothing for it but to try.
