Grats Jun. My husband is getting his second Pfizer today, too.

I just wish they'd approve them for under 16 so my 14yo daughter with DiGeorge syndrome can get one.

Καλό Πάσχα!! Χριστός Ανέστη!!
Today we celebrate Greek Easter. Only us this year again as the current restrictions do not allow for gatherings outside of your bubble.
Looking forward to drinking Ouzo and eating a great meal followed by the egg game.
Have a great weekend!!

Yesterday after work I binge watched "The Barbarians" Netflix.
It's a German series that I really enjoyed. Watching the last episode today.
Does anyone know when season 2 is coming out?

No but will look for it.
Up here in Canada Netflix is very limited. We do not get all the shows you get back home.

May I suggest sir using a VPN? Not that expensive and allows you to watch Netflix from the states etc, without doing anything "wrong" or installing anything. Works quite well.

Awesome! I get my first shot on the 16th May. I don't know if it will be AZ or Pfizer, but I don't care: get those needles into my arm ASAP, please. :P

The new Rogers Ignite is not VPN friendly.
I used to use a VPN (Unblock US, VPN Express and NordVPN) but they (Rogers) kept blocking me and sending me a message to disable the VPN. Funny thing is at a business VPN's are ok to use although they need tweaking and if you log onto a streaming service it will crap out.

That stinks. I'm sure choice for Internet providers is limited as well. Sorry about that. You could create a small computer to run as a VPN, and funnel all your connections through that, but now you are treading into "I'll leave it for the IT geeks like John" lol

Funnily enough, I use a VPN to pretend I'm in Canada for the SciFi. Dark Matter was awesome back in the day!

I used it for content as well. The US Netflix and UK Netflix shows I wanted to watch are not available in Canada.
Considering Canada is a English/French speaking country, there is very little French language programming available on Netflix.
I love French Romantic comedies ( I know it's weird) but they are very limited here. The movies they did have they've already removed.
It really sucks

The Orthodox churches follow a different liturgical calendar. Look up Western Liturgical Calendar vs. Eastern Liturgical Calendar.

Last day of celebrations (Mayday). Ate the last "munkki" and drank the last drop of "sima". Great fuel for weightlifting. Felt like I could do all the reps today. And I did. Chuck Norris would be proud.

How come Chuck isn't on beltchecker yet?

My wife goes by the lunar calendar, I can’t deal with anymore changes.

Yes the Orthodox goes by the Julian calendar and mainstream is the Gregorian calendar.

For my jog today, I've been listening to the Book of Enoch as research for a project I'm collaborating on. It was suggested by @sir_kharuse on one of my Instagram accounts, check out his awesome 1980s TSR inspired art! :D

From what my new friend said and the Librivox audiobook so far, it's an interesting myth, with shades of one of my favourite anime, Devilman. As always, it's also amazing just how much of a giant arsehole the writers make out of god. Poor deity! :P

I'll be picking up a Kindle version too. Can anyone recommend a particularly well written, engaging and academically rigorous translation that's also on Kindle? Bridget, perhaps, as it feels like your area of expertise? :)
