Controversial. But I completely understand you rating three and four. In fact the characters introduced in s4 are one of the reasons s5 could be a lot less great than it is and still not fail.

So much goodness. I dug S4 as well. I remember hating Presbylewski's character at first, but after seeing his downfall and subsequent redemption as a teacher it all came together.

Funny seeing Michael B. Jordan in S1 as a young'un. Now he's hit the big time

^^Another great thing about the show.

So many actors went on to do other stuff.  My wife is constantly annoyed when we're watching some show and I yell, "Hey!  He was on The Wire!"

Yep, I did the same while watching The Walking Dead….3 actors from The Wire have been on the show. Also noticed Chad Coleman (aka Cutty) is on The Expanse

We're having a massive outbreak of the flu in the hospital I work in. First the inpatients were down, now it's all the staff as well. We're trying to Keep it running but it gets harder and harder. And I can almost bet I won't make it through the week without infection. Just great

Don't you get immunisations?

[Max Power]

Yes, but only the Basic one which doesn't cover this exact type of virus

My wife and daughter both fought off the flu this past week.  Both had vaccinations but still had symptoms.  Vaccines probably helped limit the time and intensity but this year's flu is especially bad and it's been spreading like wildfire.  Drives me crazy when out in public and someone is clearly sick.

Flu vaccines are a con. It’s like trying to vaccinate against a cold. To many strains.

Agreed. I get annoyed when a parent brings their sick child to daycare, especially when it's against policy. It's this sort of carelessness that gets my son sick and then me. Daycares are like petri dishes that breed unwanted illnesses

Hi, Long time no post…

I'm going to Texas and around southern states next 2 weeks, starting from next saturday.

Any recommendations, places to visit, rockabilly gigs, car/bike shows etc.?
All info welcome.

I definitely think that flu vaccines are good for children since they're more susceptible to becoming deathly ill, however, I have not had a flu shot in a couple of years and rarely get sick. The last time I had a flu shot I still got sick shortly afterwards. Plus, it helps that I wash the sh*t out of my hands and make my son do the same thing so as not to spread germs around. I know too many people that don't wash their hands at all, let alone cover their mouths when they're sick.

Hey man, what part of Texas and what southern states?

Obviously Austin has a great local music scene that @Clint_D could steer you towards and if you go through Dallas/Fort Worth, @formulapfaff could probably help guide you around.

The hot southern spots are going to be New Orleans, Biloxi, Birmingham, Atlanta and possible Charleston - depending on your route.

I would drop in Dallas, ride through Austin down to San Antonio, hand east through Houston, hit New Orleans on my way to Biloxi and Mobile, head north to Birmingham and slide into Atlanta and up into the Tennessee Mountains.

That would be the best 1000 miles ever.

@Anesthetist How much was that being sold for?

[injunjack]

our route will be something like that…  from NO we are about to head Nashville and Memphis I think. Probably no time for Atlanta

Thanks for your input
