    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I was there 3.21 to 3.28. 100% true. There was a stark difference between Boulder CO and anywhere we went in FL.

    Short term Jobs

    5 months, ignored it on resume, I think I have it on my linked in, but it was November to March, so it looks longer. \ As far as NCEES record, because I work in the construction field I had ~5 jobs (including the one I refer to above) where I included it on my resume/employer listing but did...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    I snipped this from the CDC: In particular the second paragraph. "There is a possibility you may test positive on some antibody tests". If the answer was "you will test positive for Covid antibodies after getting the vaccine" we wouldn't be discussing this. Everything we previously knew...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Yes generally, but not this vaccine. Your body thinks it had measles because you were injected with a weakened measles virus and your body killed it, and created an antibody. From Mayo Clinic: “Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines use messenger RNA (mRNA). Coronaviruses...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    My understanding is the vaccine has only been proven to keep the vaccinated person from being infected with C19. There is no proof that the vaccinated person does not carry and distribute the virus. The point of a mask is not to keep you from getting infected with C19, its to keep your...

    Really stupid question- if "others" is vaccinated, is the unvaccinated employee a threat?

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    My inlaws are in Fairfield Township, and were able to get it just because they are old. My MIL works in the front part of a pediatricians office- I can't remember the details but it was a complete cluster f trying to get vaccines a month or so ago. I think my FIL got one at Walgreens, Or UDF...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Is the flu vaccine mandatory for occupations other than the military? Seems as though once the vaccine is approved by the FDA and not in EUA status, it will be of the same standard as the flu vaccine and therefore could be mandatory?

    Design Build Bridging Documents

    What you stated is pretty much the way I have come to understand the DB process is. In general: - Owner (state, city, airport, PPP, etc) has an idea of something that needs to be built - Owner finds funding and usually acquires the land/easements/access to the area - Owner provides a layout (5%...

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    There was a good article in the daily ENR email this morning. It was from the Monterey County Herald and referenced California law throughout. The article stated the biggest difference between C19 vaccine and all the others available/required for schools is the FDA has not explicitly approved it...

    The Automotive Thread

    My dad buys bulk diesel for his equipment in central Maine. I don't know the exact details, but he generally puts a 50/50 mix or better of Number 1 (kerosene) with his normal #2 (home hearing oil). Obviously, this is different when it goes in a truck engine (road taxes). He could run kerosene...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Is this why Redfin (and others) is a viable option nowadays?

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    We used a recommendation from our relator, that's probably the best way to find a good inspector (well, you need a good relator first). The last 2 houses we have bought were new builds- highly recommended route. In my opinion, you pay very little premium (if any) going with a new build, and...

    Investing

    To paraphrase my accountant: - As much as you need to put in your 401k to get the max match - Anything left over dump into paying off your house - After you pay off your house put everything you can into stocks I said something along the lines of "I don't think my investment advisor agrees...

    The valuation of gamestop is not sustainable long term, right? Why wouldn't everyone sell after driving the price that high? Also, what are these "Reddit principles"?

    The Automotive Thread

    Finally got around to it (the garage is right under bedrooms, which severely cuts down on hammering time) and after cranking on the puller and hammering around the shaft and key it finally came off. Thanks for the advice.  The new sprocket has a hub so different tooth configurations can be...

    The Automotive Thread

    This is my kids snowmobile. I’m trying to remove the drive sprocket from the jack shaft. I assume it’s been corroding and essentially welding the 3/4” shaft and key connection together for the last 15 years. The picture shows a 3 jaw puller and I’ve bent the sprocket outwards so much it’s ready...
