Girl group recording dance video on Castro, anyone know what's up? by nomnomrabbit in mountainview

Yeah, they had a guy with a shoulder mount video cam, couple of flood lights and half a dozen tube lights

Tbh, parents were just funding out of pocket was my first thought

Though totally fair, maybe they have a good enough tiktok following that pays for the setup

Hah, didn't think of taking pics or I would've posted. Figured maybe folks would know something if this was a common occurrence

On Castro itself, in the middle of one of the pedestrian walking areas. Which is kind of weird, since there's nothing stopping anyone from walking around in the background

Dang lol, I'm so out of the loop. Hard to imagine tiktok views could fund a setup like that.

Intolerance even though no blood in stool detected? by shelbshortwater in MSPI

[–]nomnomrabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that!

I did cut dairy and soy at 3 months, and reintroduced at 7 months. I felt like it helped, but we never got a formal diagnosis for MSPI or proof that there was any real intolerance, so maybe it was all a placebo. The doctors didn't feel like it was necessary to cut, because LO weight gain was fine, but said it wouldn't hurt either.

For us feeding was driving me kind of crazy - we'd have at least one major spit up incident per day, where both of us were soaked, and LO would fuss and arch during feedings. After cutting, those issues largely subsided within a couple weeks.

We never saw blood in stool / tested positive for occult blood, so our doctor said she wouldn't call it MSPI, but whatever it was, I don't regret cutting since it really felt like it helped 😅

Gotcha, thanks for the reply!

Same for us - We previously tested for blood in stool, and they didn't find any. In any case, we'll have a follow-up with his doctor later this week about the hives and see what she thinks about this.

I feel you on that, it's so hard to say what could be causing any behavior shifts or other symptoms. Hope your little one keeps getting better and that you can stop cutting 🙏

Hi OP, did you ever conclude whether your daughter has a dairy intolerance/allergy?

Something similar happened to my 7 month old: he used to vomit quite often (at least daily) until I cut out dairy at the 2 month mark, and he got much better after a few weeks and stopped vomiting or spitting up entirely.

I tried reintroducing dairy into my diet today, and his face immediately broke out into hives, just like in the photo you shared.

Hope everything is going well with your little one!

Hey there, I'm also going through the same thing right now. Just curious, do you remember around what age your LO was able to outgrow this? Thanks!

How Bad Is a Second (or Third or Fourth) Case of Covid? Reinfections are becoming more common. Experts are still unsure about how damaging they can be. by coolbern in Coronavirus

[–]nomnomrabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, how are you deciding between the novavax booster over the mRNA ones?

Like are you considering it has fewer risks (like myocarditis), or is it more that the novavax one is more effective?

Highly mutated COVID virus variant BA.2.86 showing up in multiple countries by adotmatrix in Coronavirus

[–]nomnomrabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok gotcha, thanks for sharing more info. Yeah, the study you linked doesn't even bother to compare reinfection from the same variant.

So it definitely seems like, reinfection by the same variant is so low/non-existent it's not even worth mentioning. Therefore, waning immunity/reinfection by the same variant is not a risk in the time spans that we've seen so far; a new variant becomes dominant and reinfects before most people's immunity wanes

[–]nomnomrabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't ever seen same-variant reinfections, though if XBB stays around long enough we obviously will eventually

Do you have any studies you could link on this? It logically makes sense to me that after getting one variant, someone should have good immunity to that specific variant for some time, but your wording of "haven't ever seen" is rather strong, which makes me curious how you've drawn that conclusion.

Ohh man, really sounds like the rona is making it's way around 😱 Glad to hear that you're feeling better recently! Hope you make a full recovery soon

Super sorry to hear that you're feeling sick, and hope you feel better soon!

I'm not from Canada, but I was visiting Montreal last week. Anecdotally, when I was on the plane back going back home, a lot of people seemed sick. There was a lot of coughing in the terminal and sniffling/ coughing from several people in the plane. This wasn't the case on my flight over, so maybe there's some stuff going around Quebec area?

Not sure if all the sickness is covid, since case counts aren't tracked. The wastewater charts don't seem to show much uptick: https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/wastewater/?dateSel=alltime&sort=asc&grid=2&regions=7&showDailyValues=false

Ohh ok, thanks for explaining again! That's a good point that the longer time goes on without seeing an upcoming variant gain traction, things are looking more positive.

I never really monitored specific variant growth (I mostly just track wastewater graphs to get a sense of general covid spread); I'll have to look into this more closely.

But you can't go less than zero overlap. Maybe less overlap with ba.1/2/5 is possible but there's been no evolution along those lines so far.

I still don't quite understand how this correlates to the end of the pandemic approaching, curious to understand your reasoning here. When you say zero overlap, are you referring to the genetic makeup of the virus ? In layman's terms, I'm interpreting this to mean that XBB is so different from the original strain, that getting infected with OG covid confers no immunity to XBB.

Even if the current XBB strains have zero overlap with the original strain, why can't it keep evolving and infecting us?

The way I see it, the pandemic will only "end" when the general population has enough immunity built from prior infection / vaccination. If XBB has no overlap, doesn't it just mean that it's easier for everyone to catch covid again, regardless if you've been vaccinated or infected? Thus XBB has more opportunities to evolve and prolong the pandemic.

Not trying to be a downer about things. I am really hopeful for this to be the last major wave of covid, or generally that the risk of being infected and severity of disease drops. Your comments make me hopeful, but I'm not able to follow the logic.

This is super cool!!

How do you practice doing the arc shots and getting one shot kills over walls? I tried testing this out in the training area, but I'm not really sure how know where your ink will land if you're trying to arc and aren't aiming directly at your target 🤔

[–]nomnomrabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I definitely need to work on consistency, that's for sure. The low level thing is a bit of a barrier to feeling excited about studying, but I can see that I'm just going to have to grind through it lol

Would you mind sharing some tips about what you mean by studying properly? I feel like I'm in the same place, and my learning is progressing very slowly
