From Sat 15th all private health insurance is supposed to cover the cost of 8 home tests per month. If anyone hears how we actually apply this new provision and get hold of them, please let me know. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/10/us/politics/insurance-covid-tests.html
I watched the last Bond film this evening, No Time To Die. I really enjoyed it. Fantastic! It ticked a lot of boxes, for what makes [imho] a good Bond film. It was traditional, action packed, emotional, and it felt pretty true to Craigβs portrayal of Bond. A good last outing. I look forward to seeing who gets the role next.
I forgot that "warm" cider is poured into those polystyrene cups at approximately 6000 Kelvin, and now my tongue is both angry and disappointed with me.
Dexter Cider Mill was lovely though. Very tasty cider and donuts, with bonus good dogs!
I've been to Wiards and Jennys in previous years. Which other cider mills should I frequent?
Car is in the shop at the moment for warranty work, so Iβm using Uber to get around. Pre-pandemic that was very easy, but now itβs pretty hard to get a ride outside of downtown. If the current driver doesnβt cancel on me, 40mins to get picked up. Rates are pretty high. Iβm surprised that the supply-demand aspect isnβt attracting more part-time drivers for some extra cash. Literally, take my money!
My favorite comedian, Sean Lock, has sadly passed away. He was an active regular on British TV comedy panel shows. He was known for dry, grumpy, but often quite silly humor. It might not work as well for a USA audience, but this was a pretty good tribute reel from Channel 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRPngk5QyK4
Power Outage Rant
Day 3 without power. Michiganders seem unfazed by this, but it's pretty insane to me. I'm disappointed in the state government, who should be coming down on DTE like a ton of bricks. Governor cited unprecedented storms, but I thought that was pretty lame. Some strong gusts of wind are not a natural disaster in my books. Monopolies are rarely good. Down with that sort of thing!
I work at We Predict, building predictive statistical analysis with automotive data. I like to drink socially with friends, and with strangers until they become friends!
