Ugh 😩 I met my new doctor today, had my yearly exam, and got three vaccines.

@renata @LukefromDC @CppGuy @alice

there is also the tomacco

hybrid tomato-tobacco

the funny thing about that one is it was in a simpson's episode as a fictional plant. then someone successfully created it inspired by the show 😆

potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, tobacco, petunias, nightshade, etc:

it's all one closely related family of plants

i would argue the most generous plant family to humans, by far

[salixsericea@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @renata @CppGuy @alice Probably the parentheses part, I'm afraid. Think panic around surreptitious administration of vaccines, adulterated Halloween candies year round, 😉.

[salixsericea@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @renata @CppGuy @alice LOL, 100% that one...

@alice @benroyce @lispi314 Good! Though you could make it even easier:

At my workplace, we’re offered some routine vaccines (Covid, influenza etc) right on the premises. Book a 10min slot through the intranet portal, walk over at the appointed time, present your health insurance card, get the jab.

If you don’t feel fit the next day, no problem: we can always take paid sick leave, and only need a doctor’s note from the third day onwards.

@alice @benroyce @lispi314 Not to be an annoying European, but when I lived in Denmark, not only did they have five weeks’ fully paid holidays, but one could take up to five mental health days a year, where if you woke up and thought ‘can’t face work today’, you can take the day off.

And the bottom line is that companies make more money from happy and attentive people.

@BashStKid @alice @lispi314

please be an annoying european

you're "annoying" to only a certain sort of american asshole, and if you aggrevate them, that's a plus in my book

[paneerakbari@mas.to]

@benroyce @renata @LukefromDC @CppGuy @alice nightshades are right up there with the brassicas: wild mustard, from which we derived broccoli, cauliflower, kholrabi, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, collard greens, rutabaga, turnip, mustard... the list goes on a bit

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@paneerakbari @renata @LukefromDC @CppGuy @alice

good point except i'll take a potato over cabbage any day

but perhaps my waistline could use some relief

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pmonks @paneerakbari @renata @CppGuy @alice

i'll fight you

(/s)

[paneerakbari@mas.to]

@benroyce @renata @LukefromDC @CppGuy @alice why not both?

now I'm pretty certain I'm having Brussels sprouts and a baked potato for dinner tonight!

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pmonks @paneerakbari @renata @CppGuy @alice

you kiss a cabbage, i'll kiss a potato. we'll be graded on style. good luck 🤭

[pmonks@sfba.social]

@benroyce @paneerakbari @renata @CppGuy @alice Everyone’s a winner!! 🥰

[sezduck@twit.social]

@benroyce @BashStKid @alice @lispi314 Agreed. The only “annoying” part is that I’m jealous 😆 - because , here in the US, people’s well-being isn’t important to the government - and a large part of the population votes to keep it that way.

[scanner@apricot.social]

@alice @brouhaha Yup, had my annual visit last week, got three jabs.. had to text the next day off due to fever and feeling horrible for one day. Worth it.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@lispi314 agreed.

@w_b I figure I'm going to collect them all like Pokémon anyway, so might as well catch 'em all as soon as they're available.
