The original X-Wing on DOS in 1993 was pretty fucking mind blowing. And difficult.

I donât like that McConnell held open RBGâs Scaliaâs seat for almost a year to steal it from Obama, forced through Boof to fill Kennedyâs seat that curiously became available all of a sudden, and then rammed through Serena Joyâs nomination stealing that seat from Biden.
The fact that it was Trump who got to make those nominations is a side issue (my bad for injecting it into the debate). McConnell engineered elevating three partisan hacks to the Supreme Court when he shouldâve had the chance only to do one - Kennedyâs - and that one stinks to high heaven for multiple reasons.
Point of orderâŚhe held Scaliaâs seat open, then rammed through RBGâs replacement.

Thanks. Corrected.
Well, after a close contact exposure at school this week, our fully vaxxed (in mid-December) 9-year-old daughter tested positive on a rapid test this morning. Temp around 101-102 all day, congestion, sore throat, dry cough. Here we go.

Sorry to hear that.
Hope everyone in your home has this fully behind them in a few days.
Man, thatâs bad news, Iâm sorry to hear it. I hope she recuperates quickly and that no one else in the house gets infected. Iâm not sure how youâll pull that off, but I hope you do.
I got a note from Danielâs school a week ago or so saying that a kid in his class had tested positive and that they would let us know if Daniel needed to stay home for the next five days or whatever it is. I get notes from the school regularly saying that someone in the school has tested positive and that they are obligated to let us know but if itâs not someone from your childâs class this will be the last you hear of it. This last note was the first incidence in Danielâs class, which is something of a miracle it seems to me now that I reflect on it. Anyway, apparently the decision is that if a child is vaccinated and asymptomatic and didnât have any prolonged, close contact with the infected person they can continue in person learning. Daniel is of course vaccinated, and serendipitously heâs a natural social distancer, so heâs continued to attend. Out of about 30 kids in the class only about 10 were there in person last week. I donât know for certain, but I suspect that directly reflects the number of children who are vaccinated. I wonder if that in turn reflects the parentsâ vaccination status. I hope not, but of course itâs possible.
I wonder how many parents are vaccinated and boosted and so on but decided not to vaccinate their children for whatever reason.

My daughter had a close contact in her class earlier this school year - before she was vaccinated - and didnât catch it. Also neither she nor my son or I caught it from my wife around Christmas. Doesnât really matter where she got it from though.
Just woke the girl up to check her temp. 98.6. Iâll sleep a little better knowing that Advil/Tylenol knocked it down that far.

I personally know several fully vaccinated/boosted parents who under no circumstances will get their kids vaccinated.
(Mine are all vaccinated and as of Tuesday morning theyâll all be boosted)

Whatâs the rationale?
I studiously avoid telling other people how to raise their kids, but man, I donât know.
Itâs got to be some sort of upside down logic where the parent is willing to take the âriskâ of the vaccine but not impose it on their kids while thinking at same time that Timmy isnât at risk anyway because covid âdoesnât hurtâ kids.

Pretty much this.
Public health considerations take a back seat to fears, rational or otherwise, about their kids.
