What's a service you've been paying for for years, but have essentially never used?
I'll start: a Comixology subscription (I keep forgetting I have one, and then when I remember I think "oh I should use that!)

The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

I took it to based on info that it greatly reduces chances of "Long Covid" effects. But I can't imagine actually having covid for >2 weeks is going to be "better" for long covid effects.
Arg. Screw Paxlovid. Don't take it unless you're very ill. I've seen the studies that say rebound only happens in 17% of cases, but it's been 100% in all the people I know that have taken it (small sample size -- 6?).
Me included -- was testing very faint lines on days 8,9,10 then nothing on 11, then positive again on 12 and today on 13 super dark antigen line again.
