    Saw a pretty amazing thing tonight at the gym. This firefighter was on the stair climber in full equipment, including his mask and oxygen tank. After about a half hour, I saw him finishing and taking his gear off so I went over to tell him how much I respected what he was doing. I figured he was training for a firefighter exam, but when I commented on it, he exclaimed, "110 floors! Took me 30 minutes, 10 seconds." 110 floors... OMG. It's September 11 and he had just climbed the equivalent of 110 floors like the firefighters did in the World Trade Center. Apparently, this is a tradition that many firefighters do to honor the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty that day. It's a helluva tribute! #110floors #september11 #neverforget

    Atlantic article on Australia

    "Intrastate travel within Australia is also severely restricted. And the government of South Australia, one of the country's six states, developed and is now testing an app as Orwellian as any in the free world to enforce its quarantine rules. People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. "We don't tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes," Premier Steven Marshall explained. "I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app."

    😮😞

      This is insane....scary as crap too...I got a bad hunch theres a big enough section of the population here in the US that views things in the same mindset as them....I hope im wrong and overthinking it all...

    Just like Christianity, there are various sects. Unlike Christianity, they do NOT get along.

    The group actually most commonly victimized in Islamic terror attacks is actually Muslims.

      Yeah, its so frustrating to see...how does the world devolve into oppressors and those oppressed as the norm?...whats wrong with individual thoughts and actions? ..I do stuff, you do stuff...they do stuff.....somewhere in that mix, theres an issue...not only an issue, but hate!!..its almost like our politics are taliban like.....

    Biden had a history of being hawkish, voting for both of W's invasions.

    Believe it or not, he whiplashed hard when he entered the Whitehouse and was actually against escalating the War in Afghanistan. He's wanted out for a while, but he didn't have Obama's ear on the matter like the military brass did. Robert Gates spoke of how much he hated him in his memoir. 

    I think most political people wanted out of it, that's sort of established....We basically dictated  the area until this....we had any exit strategy we wanted!!.......aaaaand......WTF?.....

    Nope! 

    Well to some degree. For one, I can appreciate that he got the ball rolling on ending this bull**** war. On the other hand, he did leave Biden something of a mess to figure out given how long he delayed the transition along with allowing Miller to wreck the SIV system. 

    How much did Biden play in his VP role involving Afghanistan before Trump got in?

    So are you saying that this is Trump's fault? Could Biden not have ordered a surge if necessary? Is there a such thing as Biden intel?

    I am not bashing Biden, but I can't see this as having anything to do with Trump.

    ..Oh its Trumps fault...if we don't have a clear idea about it now, there are brilliant minds at work who will make it so by the end of the week!!

    PS, @SaturdayGT, you might want to change the title of this thread to let folks know you are looking for help.  There are other threads that have discussed vaccines, ad nauseam, with a lot of contention and folks might not even look at this thread if they think this will be contentious. Just a thought. 

    Yeah your right...I need to change it, can't seem to edit it from my phone lol

    I got the Janssen (J&J) vax in March.  Zero side effects.  Wife, son and two sisters-in-law also got the Janssen vax in March with zero side effects.  

     This is great info for me!..I work 70 hours a week plus or minus 5 hours....I dont get a lot of time away, so one and done is a big thing.   I really wanted FDA approval (not sure it matters), but it sounds like they are all going to be  approved here soon.
