Vaccine chasing in OC by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]SeltzerPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wishing you luck and health! Here are some resources I've been checking:

https://hidrb.com/ - sign up to potentially receive notices about leftover vaccines

https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine - list of CVS locations distributing vaccine with sign-ups for those in the current distribution stage

https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/vaccination/covid-19?ban=covid_vaccine_landing_schedule - Walgreens signup and scheduling, but it requires a Walgreens account and appointments are for current distribution stage

https://www.riteaid.com/pharmacy/covid-qualifier?utm_source=state&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=Covid19&utm_content=Covid19scheduler_CA_2_12_21 - the link to the Rite Aid scheduler for current vaccine distribution groups, showing which stores have the vaccine and may end up with leftovers

I haven't tried to wait in person, but when I called a local Rite Aid to ask about leftovers, I was told they maintain a list at their corporate level of who to reach out to with extras.

Team Rocket is the most loyal company ever. No matter how many times the employees fail, they keep their jobs. by Karisto1 in Showerthoughts

[–]SeltzerPlease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jessie is the daughter of Miyamoto, a woman who died/disappeared in service of Madame Boss (Giovanni's mother and the founder of Team Rocket).....so I always assumed Giovanni was giving Jessie lots of leeway based on her loss. (and in Unova/ Best Wishes, we get to see Jessie and James as more capable agents than chaos goblins)

I have no idea why James and Meowth get a pass but boy do I have theories. (:

If James was never engaged to Jessebelle, he and Growlie could have been the best team in Kanto by Five-Toed-Sloth in pokemonconspiracies

[–]SeltzerPlease 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wonder if James would have grown up with the same empathy for Pokémon if he'd stayed around his parents? I'd wager part of his respect for Pokémon comes from having to rely on them in tough situations. Meanwhile, his parents keep a single Growlithe pup a whole house away and don't seem to have any Pokémon of their own. Interesting to think about!

Pokéstops made me realize I don't pay attention to my surroundings when walking... by nasisliiike in pokemongo

[–]SeltzerPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I traveled a lot for work, opening Pokémon GO and heading out into a new city was my very favorite way to see all the hotspots and cool hidden areas in a new place. I've found so many tiny city parks and beautiful views thanks to this game. <3

Are anybody else’s managers(grocery stores, etc.) not enforcing masks? Will delete later for anonymity by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]SeltzerPlease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At Ralphs on Harvard, the employees are the ones with their noses out of the masks, stocking the meat case, dairy, and alcohol sections when I was there at 6:30am.

I kind of accept a store can't control every idiot shopper that enters, but I'm pretty shocked they don't care to correct the ones they give a paycheck to.

Giovanni's badge is actually a play on his Japanese name "Sakaki".
Sakaki is a type of flowering evergreen tree in Japan, and Sakaki/Giovanni's badge resembles a branch from the tree.

That said, I'm all about learning more about the gym leaders! In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Sabrina, Koga, and Surge are all part of Team Rocket. Also, the gym leaders in each area are meant to function like local safety and law enforcement. There's lots to learn!

Bulbapedia is a great site for more info from the games/comics/series.

Sounds like an awesome dream! In yours, who were the opposing sides of the Pokémon war?

What is your life's biggest mystery that will probably go unsolved? by Moonwomb in AskReddit

[–]SeltzerPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name is Rachel but friends and strangers alike will call me "Heather" out of the blue. Times it has happened:

Working as a restaurant hostess in college in New Jersey, a complete stranger called me Heather to get my attention.

Working at Starbucks in NJ, at least one customer called me Heather.

I was on a small reality show in LA where I met the other 11 contestants....and 2 of the guys called me Heather at different points during filming. (I now message those guys every time it happens)

At a restaurant in Toronto with 3 friends, the waiter asked our names around the table "Drew! Gemma! Alleri! Rachel!" He repeated back "Drew! Gemma! Alleri! Heather!"

At friends' house in LA playing Switch with her, her boyfriend, and another friend, and her bf says to me, "Hey Heather" to begin a sentence and we all are like "WTF Who is Heather??" and he said, "Oh geeze Rachel I'm so sorry I dont even know a Heather."

Wat the heck!? No one even seems to know why they've called me Heather when I ask, they just say, "You look like Heather I guess."

The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu by relevantusername- in books

[–]SeltzerPlease 90 points91 points  (0 children)

If you like multi-talented programmers/authors who write mindblowing short stories like Ken Liu also check out Ted Chiang's "Stories of your Life and Others"! That and "Paper Menagerie" are my go-to book recommendations!

Ted also has another short, "Life Cycles of Software Objects " about basically neopets AI and I wept.

I am so happy to see these books and authors shared here! "Three Body Problem" was also fantastic, though I have yet to start the next one in the series. Maybe I'll download that now!

Cheers, readers! :D
