For all of you wondering why there are side effects days or weeks after and not 6 months after you take it its because it is literally changing your immune system to help combat the virus. How retarded are people not to understand that? That is why you get sick because your homeostasis in your body changes. That happens with any vaccine known to man and changes many variables to getting you taken care of as well. Never trust conservatives!

My family went with Pfizer, and it was so blissfully benign with its side effects and super small needle that I even dragged an anti-vaxxer to get it and they had to confess it was pretty legit... still can't get him to eat in a restaurant with us, though. Refuses to carry his vaccine card, even though he's been vaccinated ¬.¬

2 shots of Moderna here. This was just coincidental : I just booked the first available dates. Vaccination centers (in Belgium or even just Flanders) work with a single vaccine on a given day to prevent confusion. My day just happened to be moderna. The delta variant didn't even have its name back then.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, my arm was sore for a couple days after the first shot, and I felt a bit tired and hot /cold after the second for a day (no fever, though). That was all. I'm currently training for a 15 km run as well as got back in karate, and my condition is as good as it was before (well... A bit rust, but that's due to not sporting as much as before).

Two Moderna.

Additional hearsay info (as in interesting, but probably dont decide anything based on that), Moderna potentially is at least partially more effective against Delta, because it had a higher base amount of mRNA in it, Pfizer has stated, that they went with a lower amount to decrease potential side effects. Lacking any studies that show a higher side effect rate with Moderna, this is probably their marketing departments PR speak for "we had a reason" for going with a lower mRNA amount).

3rd shot (booster shot) of Moderna and Pfizer would both contain the same (lower) amount of mRNA. (Most countries currently say its not needed, Israel is giving them out to high risk patients anyhow.. ;) )


Also please, dont just take one shot and then call it a day. One shot (so far -- boosters later) is ideal, if you had Covid-19 once, and then did get one shot later, in all other instances two shots are required to get the "symptomatic infection rate" low enough where it makes sense societally - and for the individual. (Single shot cuts symptomatic infection rate by 65 percent double by 90%+ https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/cov...-infection-rate-by-65percent-study-finds.html Also, those percentages would have been higher, if the Delta variant hadnt come along... )

but we still have to wear marks so what is the purpose of the vaccine!
The vaccine reduces the shedding period during which people can transmit the virus, but it doesn't eliminate it altogether. By getting vaccinated you also give your immune system a head start against the virus if you do get infected. It's not always obvious who will get hospitalised from Covid-19 and who will barely get any symptoms so it's a smart move to reduce the risk.

Only option available for me in my area is the Moderna one and that's the one for both dosages.
Preferrably the one that doesn't cause you to be disfunctional for days on end...

If it exists.

Know quite a few people whom were hit pretty hard after the injection...

Mwh.
I wonder if they have taken anything for their side effect. I had some side effects and a couple of tylenol seemed to help relieve the side effects or at least shorten the duration of it.

Moderna. One shot, due for the second one next week.

Could barely move my arm for about two days. I also had cramps so horrendously awful, that it might have been one of the most painful experiences in my life. I'd heard reports of women having some issues with that and that was my main concern of side effect. Shame I had to go through what I feared.

... I'm glad I got the vaccine, but I am unnerved a tad for part 2.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
