Reminds me of a guy I heard of who got the vaccine and the very next day was arrested for having sex with an alpaca these side effects are out of control I tell you

Also, a “true” story: in The Discoverie of Witchcraft, published by Reginald Scot in 1584, he recounts the story of a bishop caught having sex with a nun. The bishop later argued that it was an incubus disguised as him.

Scot was having none of that nonsense.

Incidentally, as an anecdote of a side effect that is significant: last time I got a flu shot years ago, I developed a full body rash.

Doctor: “You sure it was the vaccine?”

Me: *shows bullseye rash perfectly circling injection site*

“Pretty sure.”

PS in spite of a HUGE allergic reaction to a flu shot, I went without hesitation to get my COVID shots. Because I'm not a fucking idiot.

Okay, let's to an #OpticsLessonOfTheDay: why is the sky blue? The answer is an interesting mix of several different aspect of physics as well as the working of the human eye.

First off: we note that the sun radiates light somewhat uniformly over the entire visible spectrum of light, which ranges from 380 to 750 nanometers. (Image via Wikipedia.) It peaks a bit in the middle of the spectrum, so we picture the sun as a bit more yellow than white.

Now, during the day, we see blue light everywhere *except* in the direction of the sun. This is because the gases in the atmosphere preferentially scatter blue light. All the blue you see is from light scattering off of atmospheric molecules.

Now that I *have* taken an ambien, this may be the perfect time to finish my bumble account, especially considering my self-destructive nature

Yep, a perfect time to work on a profile.

So far the experience has convinced me that I am definitely spending the rest of my life alone and sad.

That’s it - the name “Greg” is too hard to hear through a mask at the coffee shop. Going to switch to my old standby “Beavis.”

In grad school, I used to put that in as my name when out to dinner with friends. My friends HATED me because as soon as they called out “Beavis,” the whole restaurant would turn and stare.
