Required or optional?

Similar at my hospital - it'll be optional for now since it's under the EUA. Apparently it can't be mandatory unless it has full FDA approval.

I fail to rationalize how a healthcare provider's weight has any damn thing to do with their ability to care for patients.

re: Chicago Restaurant Recommendations

Posted by AngryOtter on 8/25/20 at 8:59 pm to rowbear1922

Green Street Smoked Meats in West Loop for barbecue.

Little Goat Diner (also West Loop) is delicious for breakfast/brunch.
Depending on where you're moving to/how much you want to wander, Buttermilk (in Geneva - far west suburb, and I think maybe Naperville?) also has delicious breakfast/brunch.

Adding on to Portillos - ask for the fries extra crispy (they also travel really well that way).

Enjoy your time in Chicagoland!

re: Where does Moana rank all time for Disney animated movies?

Posted by AngryOtter on 8/25/20 at 1:05 pm to Tiger1242

I really liked Moana - between it, Tangled, and Frozen, I think Disney could have another run similar to the 90s princess movies on their hands if they can keep it up.

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue" from Airplane! - honestly most of the scenes in the control tower.

Is there an acceptable and feasible point in GoT where a new viewer can stop at a satisfactory end prior to the smoldering derailment?

At some point during 8?

If you REALLY want to watch the beginning of season 8, I'd stop after the Battle of Winterfell.

Brownies are awesome. Even the worst brownie is better than an oatmeal raisin cookie. Cookies should not taste like granola.

I wonder how far this season will go.

I've been wrong for literally every season, but it might make sense to go to 1992 and end with the "Annus Horribilis" Speech. It depends a lot on where they plan on ending season 6, though.

re: Any experience with Pugs, Corgis, Dauschunds?

Posted by AngryOtter on 8/5/20 at 10:17 am to GentleJackJones

We had a Corgi when I was a kid and she was the sweetest girl - super energetic as a puppy and loving as hell.

I got a pug as an adult and she was amazing. She wound up living with my parents when they fell in love with her, and she was a loyal little cuddle bug until she passed away in the winter. My parents made it three months before they got another pug - she's a puppy and it sounds like she acts like it, but can't fault a puppy for being a puppy.

I always wanted small dogs (also had beagles growing up), but my family and I have a black lab mix rescue and she is the sweetest animal on earth. Absolutely loves other dogs and tiny humans and wouldn't hurt a fly. It really all comes down to the dog and the environment.

re: Home Depot vs Lowes

Posted by AngryOtter on 8/4/20 at 8:56 am to STLhog

The last few places I've lived, I've preferred Lowe's. Their stores tend to be more organized and better stocked. Since COVID, we've had good curbside experiences at both.

Best TV Opening Credits?

Posted by AngryOtter on 7/31/20 at 6:05 pm

What shows (recent or not) have had the best opening credits sequences? I feel like HBO has an edge here but maybe I just watch more there.

For me, True Detective (season one) and GoT might be the best.

re: Don't get your kids tutors, as it exacerbates inequality.

Posted by AngryOtter on 7/28/20 at 8:56 pm to Kujo

Seems like an easy solution would be open the schools with reasonable precautions in place - get the kids an education and get their parents back to work - but what do I know?

Gotta love framing “providing your kids with the best possible opportunities” as a BAD thing.

re: Women should not wear makeup

Posted by AngryOtter on 7/28/20 at 8:45 pm to DavidTheGnome

A good proportion of women who wear makeup (especially those who give a shite about it and enjoy the process) wear it for the sake of themselves and/or other women, not for men.
