Stepped on an underground bee hive during the most recent walk. I got away unscathed, but I believe the dog got nailed a few times. I stayed with him for a bit after the walk and he seemed OK. Let the owner know what happened and he didn't seem overly concerned, but there's a nagging worry/guilt sticking around.

You did everything you could/should. You shouldn't feel guilty.

The guilt was mostly about putting him in that situation in the first place. We walked out to a wooded part so he could do his business, and just as he's finishing up, my foot sank into the ground. Normally, that means I stepped in a "gift" left by some other animal, but as I look down, I see a dozen bees surrounding my foot. It felt like an eternity for my brain to assess the situation, realize what happened and get my feet moving.

Man you got lucky. Last time that happened to me they got me 18 times and I twisted my ankle trying to get away.

I'd avoid the Ideapads (Lenovo) also the Yoga's.. I do like the Thinkpads and Thinkpad Yogas are still Yogas..
I didn't listen, ordered today a 15.6" Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with Ryzen 7 4800H processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti GPU (model 82EY000YMX).

Came down to that and the 150 euros more expensive 15.6" Asus Nitro 5 with AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (NH.QBCED.00C). The stupidly white-bordered AWSD buttons became the tie-breaker in the end.

Just a quick update: Dad is home from the hospital as of Monday, and has been able to resume walking a few minutes per day. He has to wear a LifeVest because they found an arrhythmia, so he'll still be monitored in that way for the next three months but it's good to see him back in his recliner watching baseball.

Got a Covid PcR test on Monday morning (I’m sure I’m fine). 48 hours later and the lab hasn’t even received the sample. I’m off work until I get my results and they don’t even have the f***ing sample yet.

Get it ASAP if that’s an option.

If you're in the Raleigh area, go to the Kidd Rd. testing site. We got all of our test results back in less than 24 hours, usually around 10 - 12 hours.

need to take one for travel to the UK next week and this has me Medium Tier Concerned®

@Socks not sure where you're based, but halle if you're still around the Triangle I'd go to Cary Urgent Care | American Family Care

They do the testing on site so you'll get results 15-30 minutes after the swab, and it is a PCR test. No appointment necessary. We waited maybe half an hour before getting called back for the swab, but your mileage may vary

The UCP party here in Alberta opened up the province completely overnight back on July 1st. Most people thought they were crazy but they were basically trying to get back in favour with the public. Even sold these nifty hats:

Now they’ve declared a public state of emergency as cases have skyrocketed. The premier says he’s “sorry” and the chief medical officer has “expressed regret”.

Who could’ve seen it coming :laugh:

I think Norm roasting OJ and Michael Jackson over the years was so under the radar of his humor. The roast of Bob Sagat he killed, barely got any laughs.

The Bob Saget one was where he was basically telling jokes you'd read off of popsicle sticks, yeah?

Subverting expectations was his entire brand of humor. That's why he was so good at what he did.

Saw this floating around, and it does seem like the kind of set Norm would run.

----

Conan: Everyone, let's welcome Norm Macdonald back to the show!

(audience applause)
(Norm looks out at the cameras, grinning uncomfortably while sitting down)

Conan: Tell us Norm, what have you been up to?
Norm: Well, the other day I got a great idea for a joke.
Conan: Yeah? You have a joke for us?
Norm: No, I have an idea for a joke.
Conan: An idea for a joke. You bringing us your unfinished stuff?
Norm: Yeah.
Norm: I can't tell it once it finished, you'll understand later.
Conan: Oookaaaay....
Norm: I got the idea sitting in my doctor's office when he told me I had cancer.

(audience laughs a bit uncomfortably)

Conan: That isn't funny.
Norm: I know. That isn't the good bit yet.
Conan: *stares at Norm frowning*
Norm: So he tells me I have cancer, and I think "What if I just don't tell anyone? What if I just keep doing stuff and never tell a soul?
Conan: Okay. What happens next?
Norm: Then I die.
Conan: What?
Norm: That's the funny bit.

(audience laughs uncomfortably)

Conan: That's awful! Also, Chadwick Boseman did that.
Norm: What?!
Conan: Chadwick Boseman had cancer and kept it a secret so that he could live the remainder of his life uplifting people instead of bringing them down.
Norm: Son of a bitch!
Conan: What?
Norm: Guy stole my joke!
