    All this horse shit about one unverified tweet from the National Bullshit Corporation. Get a grip, people...

    Unless that’s total positive tests and not actual cases. Still a lot of confusion about that...

    Andy McCarthy: It does not appear Durham qualifies for the special-counsel post announced by the AG. Still, Biden would be wise to let the probe conclude.

    Whatever. He must be in the matrix, seriously. Either he’s a galactic troll or has ceased making contact with reality.

    For example, here’s a paper with detailed proofs on various properties of the Riemann integral. I don’t have time at the moment to go through it, but I suspect there’s little or nothing that wouldn’t also apply to polar calculus. https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~hunter/intro_analysis_pdf/ch11.pdf

    @jon-nyc said in Let’s talk thermometers: I know this isn’t helpful in the moment, but don’t presume accuracy, just get a baseline. That's what we've been doing, too. The IR thermometer consistently reads around 97.6, so I'm assuming it's about a degree low. Hopefully this will remain constant in the event of a fever.

    Fear is the mind killer. Back when I used to go to church, I remember one of the sermons pointed out how many times the phrase 'Fear Not!' is used in the Bible - I think it was 365. Prudence or caution is something else entirely.

    @Jolly said in Three Ways: @Doctor-Phibes said in Three Ways: @Jolly said in Three Ways: The question becomes, is the narrative true? Maybe it's just me, but I've seen multiple articles by former citizens of Russia, China, Venezuela and Cuba, all talking about how bad and monolithic American media has been over the last few years. The US media is awful, but it's not the same root cause as totalitarian regimes, and there are disparate voices, but both sides seem to be as biased as the other. The real problem is that nobody seems interested in even trying to be objective, so you get something as horribly biased as The Epoch Times complaining about liberal bias elsewhere. The solution to CNN is not OANN. I also wonder whether the polarization of the media is the cause of the apparent polarization in the country, or a symptom of it. Aqua talks about what sells, but would something with good journalistic standards and a keen eye to preventing as much bias as possible, actually draw eyeballs? If you're not concerned with trying to eliminate bias as best you can, then you're not really a journalist anymore, which I think is true of much of today's media.
