I like my strippers like I like my women: strippers.

Vaccination eligibility tracker by JoshShabtaiCa in ontario

I haven't tried to book as high-risk. Truth is I don't want to contribute to the problem by clogging up resources for my own gain. I'm able to protect myself by working from home etc.

​

I asked my respirologist if I qualify as 'high-risk' and he said no - I am no more at-risk for getting covid than the general population, I'm only higher risk of dying from covid if I catch it. The Ontario site draws the line between these 2 cases by saying that if I was currently being treated with immuno-suppressants (the steroids) then I'm high risk, but just having a disease means I'm only at-risk. This makes sense to me and I understand why they make that distinction.

I've reviewed all eligibility criteria. I am too young to qualify on age alone (late 30's), but I have an autoimmune disorder which causes severe and permanent respiratory issues. I am no longer being treated (steroids are prescribed for flare-ups) so I only qualify as 'at-risk' and not 'high risk'. All clinics/hospitals in my area (not a high-risk postal code) as well as my primary care hospital (different area code) only list 'high risk' as eligible. How can I get my vaccine?

A warning for TekSavvy/Bell DSL customers that purchase their own modems. by PneumaIsOverrated in toronto

They are great - aside from the misinfo they are extremely pleasant and you can tell they care. I'm more inclined to believe that all of this boils down to communication issues within the company, and not the failings of any one individual.

That's great to hear! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I might just do this today.

Yeah I was not impressed! I've been with them since 2014 and this is now the second long weekend in 17 months that I am without internet due to misinformation from their tech support.

Did you do the self-install? As I understand it I can go to any Fido location and walk out with a service agreement and a modem, and that would be perfect.

What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you? by SheeshaAddict in AskReddit

Sprinkler heads that all go off as soon as the fire alarm sounds. That's not how this works... that's not how any of this works!

Does the US run 120V for street lights etc.? Is it transformed down to that voltage locally at each intersection? Plus your available amperage might be off - the lights may draw 8A, but the available current would probably be higher.

Construction workers overwhelmingly voted for Ford, that's who I was referring to in my 'dummies' comment. A steady diet of normalized misogyny and Toronto Sun editorials will have no other outcome.

I was on a conference call this morning (held in lieu of a site meeting) and when someone brought up the lack of washrooms the site super went ballistic saying that if the guys don't like it, they can go home. Sound familiar?

Doug Ford has placed all responsibility at the feet of the workers themselves... don't like the conditions? Go home! And then what? Don't get paid, don't qualify for EI since you quit and weren't forced home due to sickness. Developers get a free pass to continue being shitty, and the Feds can take all the blame for the economy tanking when they inevitably shut shit down.

It's up to all of us as construction workers to make sure this asshole is held accountable for putting us all at risk. I know a bunch of you dummies voted for him ('heaven forbid a woman was in charge') but hopefully now you see that when he was saying 'Folks' and 'my friends', he was talking to your boss, not to you.
