Lufin and Loki - y'all need new avatars. This L shit is confusing me. 😆

Mik's right.

If I can do it, so can anybody here. LOL

Eat me. 😆

I'm surprised you weren't aware of that.

... accompanied by no small amount of rather unladylike language, even if it was delivered in a lovely accent.

Upgrade your headphones, consider one with active noise-canceling technology.

@Aqua-Letifer said in About those bodies:

It takes a very special kind of stupid to actually have to see a body count before you can wrap your head around the relative severity of a health crisis everyone is telling you is going to happen.

Not to mention that you have seen happen other places.

We just got word that one of our delivery drivers lost their mother to a heart attack last night. No word about whether she was symptomatic, but I can’t help billy wonder if asymptomatic cases can still result in cardiac arrest for those at risk? She had HBP and Diabetes.

I chuckled at the “this is my metric” part.

Yeah that was gold. I'm stealing that for a blanket argument stopper for all Zoom meetings.

@LuFins-Dad

Hubby and I are staying home. We'll talk with daughter via Google hangouts, which we do most days already.

And we'll watch the snow fall. Supposed to get 6 to 10 inches of very dense and heavy snow. It'll melt quickly, so no big deal, especially since we're not going out.

@brenda Thanks! I had never noticed that before.

Think about the force involved...

It didn't work out.

@Doctor-Phibes said in "Cuff 'em!":

Yes, it was over-reach, but refusing to give your identity to police is not the smartest move either.

I agree, and that is the problem. Even in regular times, if you are an adult at a park with lots of kids, I think even then someone would ask you what you are doing there. Not giving identification is not the best answer.

I understand people who say "that they do not have to, my rights say that I don't have to etc. etc"

But, sometimes common sense is more important.

I was stopped by a couple of jackasses outside Federal Center a couple of months ago. I was taking pictures, and they thought that since I was near a federal building (FEMA), that was illegal, and they had a right to confiscate my camera. (These were dweebs who worked there, not security.) Security guy shows up, tells me not to go anywhere, gets a LEO. Fine by me. I explain to the officer that I don't have to state my business, or give ID, or really anything at this point because I'm not breaking any laws. But I did show him everything I was taking pictures of and explained exactly what I was doing. I also showed him my ID without handing it to him.

I didn't have to do any of that, but it did go a long way towards him getting bored with me. That was enough and he let me go. Also told the assholes who stopped me I was right.

👙 🤙 👀 😆

I hope this is a wake up call to provide better infection control at these facilities for patients with such requirements.

From the article,

The dialysis industry has historically had a poor record when it comes to infection control so the current infectious climate is fraught with worry.

@taiwan_girl Perfect!

@Axtremus said in Something fishy.:

You can see it now, some silly tree huggers start spouting the narrative of the pandemic being the Earth’s “immune response” to humans over polluting the environment.

That bullshit's already well established in some places out there.

Seems to me he could write all that with or without Covid-19.
