Heading back down to Javits for the second shot today. Will livetweet again, though I expect it to be a much shorter and more boring story—from everything I've read, the lines pretty much evaporated about two weeks ago.
Arrived at 11:50. A few seconds for check-in and temp check. Five minute wait for processing.
Processing took a few minutes, now on line for the shot.
Definitely a little less conscientiousness about social distancing than last time. It’s not bad, by any means, but folks are a bit more lax.
45 minutes on the line for the shot. Heading in imminently.
Got the shot! One hour, eight minutes after walking in the door.
Longer line than expected, but smooth all the way. Heading home in a few!

"They loved each other and believed they loved mankind, they fought each other and believed they fought the world."

—John le Carré, 1961, on British communists at Oxford in the 1930s.
BTW, I don't read this as a condemnatory quote. I recognize in it movements that I've been a part of, and movements that I have written about with love.
I initially followed the quote up with a "possible relevance to present-day internet subcultures is left for the reader to assess" tweet, but that wasn't (I promise!) intended as a specific subtweet of any particular group.

A lot of people I respect are wondering whether the Alexi McCammond incident means nobody can be forgiven for anything anymore. But it does strike me as a very particular situation. nytimes.com/2021/03/18/bus…
McCammond is 27, which means incidents from when she was a teenager are less than a decade old. And Teen Vogue is ... well, Teen Vogue, a lefty-multiculti magazine targeted at folks the age McCammond was when she sent the tweets.
Plus McCammond was a Wintour hire, which means any whiff of bigotry in her past was always going to take on outsized symbolic significance. theguardian.com/fashion/2020/j…

Thread. This outrage over the Columbia graduation ceremonies is so silly, and much of it is absolutely misrepresenting what's actually going on.
A college is a community that is made up of smaller communities. Some events are for everybody, some events aren't. That's totally benign—and inevitable!
If you think it's fine that a college has a Black Student Union and an LGBTQ student organization, why would you think it was bad for there to be get-togethers associated with those communities to commemorate community members' graduation?

People are mad about Eddie Izzard saying she's been "promoted to she" on the cover of The Guardian, but the actual quote is a bit different than that, and much more interesting.
What she says in the piece is that she'd initially intended to go back and forth between using he/him and she/her pronouns, but that once she said her pronouns were "she/her" one time, that stuck—it was out of her hands.
So the interviewer asked how she felt about losing that flexibility, and she responded: "Great. I’ve been promoted to she, and it’s a great honour."

Excel question for the hivemind: I've got a chart I update daily in which I input a value in a particular cell, and the value is then computed as an average in the next cell. There are a series of columns like this: Value, Average, Value, Average, and so on. (1/2)
Some columns, when I plug in the value on a given day, the next cell automatically fills with the appropriate formula. For others, I need to paste from the day before. The automatic ones just started doing it without me telling them to. How do I tell the others to do it? (2/2)
To clarify: The feature I'm trying to replicate is that sometimes Excel figures out that I'm going to want to put a specific formula in a certain cell, and auto-inserts that formula into a blank cell without me having to paste it in.

At the Javits Center for my first shot. Will update.
Arrived at the 36th Street Javits entrance at 2:42. Line extended past the entrance, but only barely—was in the building within about a minute.
About ten minutes after getting in the building, they checked my appointment sheet printout, then put me on the next line.
