    The moon landing was staged. By the CIA's secret studio on Mars.

    Why would the CIA have a base on Mars? The atmosphere is far too thin - it would be a pointless waste of resources. Saturn's moon Titan is a much more sensible location, and allows them to keep a closer eye on the serpent that sleeps under the great red spot on Jupiter.

    We are finally out of groceries after a month (p good shopping skills tbh)

    But that means I have to get geared up and go get stuff at like 8am during the immunocompromised shoppers time at Aldi because my wife is pretty unhealthy

    Wish me luck friendos, surrounded by boomers who don't follow the rules, just like last time

    Arch

    IDK how it works in your area but here we have a one person per household limit for groceries to reduce the amount of people in the grocery store.

    Yeah, I need to be more specific, it's just me

    Which is better and worse, it's a long list

    Also I have a lot of experience working with viruses and know decontamination protocols very well (I worked with active Zika virus for two years...)

    The reason I don't work with viruses anymore is because doing all this stuff was very intensely stressful, so it sucks to basically have to do it again to get groceries

    Are they actually enforcing the special shopping hours where you're going? If not, I would honestly suggest you might be better off going to the store right before closing time. The opening hours during "special senior bonus time" at my store are by far the busiest of the day.

    How sure are you? I feel like it would be really important to show that you have it for insurance and work purposes but IDK.

    I called the county health department at the behest of my doctor and the urgent care center. Errbody saying it. My insurance will cover a test at 100%, but it isn’t available for treating-at-home patients where I live.

    I’m loving that Villenueve is beefing up the female roles and doing some race/gender flips

    The fact that they’re hiding who is playing Feyd makes me wonder what they have up their sleeve


    Everything they’ve done so far has been 10000% up my alley. So excite!

    Given the fact that they're splitting the story into two movies it's possible they haven't even cast Feyd yet.

    Wasn't a fan of the armour colour scheme initially, but I guess it makes sense to have a grey that would blend in with a cloudy sky on an ocean planet

    A good visual indication that they're out of their element on Arrakis

    Fuzzy no worries. There’s a drive thru in Denver, apparently (a little over an hour from me). But even for that you need essentially a prescription to be tested? They’re only being performed, per my understanding, with your doctor saying not only I think they likely have it but also your doctor saying- and it’s imperative they be tested. With my fever already receding I really do not feel inclined to push harder for a test. And I definitely don’t feel up to/safe driving an hour straight. Maybe there will be some antibody test down the road and I’ll find out for sure if that’s what this was.

    It’s many years since I’ve read Dune but I always imagined their armor being low tech looking, maybe just robes.
