Yeah just used them the yesterday. But my workouts have been light and spotty. Too easy for me to get distracted at hone. I have been walking every day that the weather doesn’t suck.

@Horace said in Messing with the wrong guy: It seemed a little fake. Perfect knockout punch which looked a lot like a stage flop and then a choke which knocks a guy out in 5 seconds. But I could be wrong. It's absolutely possible to put someone down with a choke in that short a time. I've seen it done a couple times by accident in class. I'm not saying the video is legit, I have no idea. Just that, like I said, blood chokes are real.

I see your tawdry pen history reference and raise you by 1x Nathan Tardiff. Buckle up for some Revolutionary War history, coinciding with fountain pen engineering. Link to video

@xenon said in Wonderful new timewaster: I used to be a pretty active user (~50k karma), 0% surprised. None.

Well, very simple - I will just grill them in my cast iron grill pan, so they will have nice markings. The marinade is commercial, but very tasty. But the quality of the chops should be great.

He's still a bit of a bitch.

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-developed-ventilator-authorized-by-fda-for-emergency-use @nasa said >> NASA-Developed Ventilator Authorized by FDA for Emergency Use A new high-pressure ventilator developed by NASA engineers and tailored to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) patients today was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use under the FDA’s March 24 ventilator Emergency Use Authorization. Called VITAL (Ventilator Intervention Technology Accessible Locally), the device was developed by engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California to free up the nation's limited supply of traditional ventilators so they may be used on patients with the most severe COVID-19 symptoms. “This FDA authorization is a key milestone in a process that exemplifies the best of what government can do in a time of crisis,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “This ventilator is one of countless examples of how taxpayer investments in space exploration – the skills, expertise and knowledge collected over decades of pushing boundaries and achieving firsts for humanity – translate into advancements that improve life on Earth.” The Office of Technology Transfer and Corporate Partnerships at Caltech, which manages JPL for NASA, is offering a free license for VITAL and is reaching out to the commercial medical industry to find manufacturers for the device. "Now that we have a design, we're working to pass the baton to the medical community, and ultimately patients, as quickly as possible," said Fred Farina, chief innovation and corporate partnerships officer at Caltech. "To that end, we are offering the designs for licensing on a royalty-free basis during the time of the pandemic." [image: pia23775-frontfacing_portrait_vital.jpg?itok=zJuAl7yl]

Makes you think those vests aren't such a good idea.

Quarantine for thee but not for me my wife. Link to video And Chris Cuomo, who lectured us about Pence not wearing a mask, went bike riding on Easter WHILE HE WAS INFECTIOUS. Asshats, all of them.

A social distancing skirt, as well as a mask. That should work!

Doughnuts kill the virus.

This is consistent with the autopsy findings: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3080750/coronavirus-attacks-lining-blood-vessels-all-over-body-swiss?fbclid=IwAR14rXJ57ukRUJXRgXhyp6eUhVelM-PlFjNTxQS_ovmvOxKtvxsQhm5A3BE The coronavirus attacks the lining of blood vessels all over the body, which can ultimately lead to multiple organ failure, according to a new study published in The Lancet. “This virus does not only attack the lungs, it attacks the vessels everywhere,” said Frank Ruschitzka, an author of the paper from University Hospital Zurich. He said the researchers had found that the deadly virus caused more than pneumonia. “It enters the endothelium [layer of cells], which is the defence line of the blood vessels. So it brings your own defence down and causes problems in microcirculation,” said Ruschitzka, referring to circulation in the smallest of blood vessels. It then reduces the blood flow to different parts of the body and eventually stops blood circulation, according to Ruschitzka, chairman of the heart centre and cardiology department at the university hospital in Switzerland. “From what we do see clinically, patients have problems in all organs – in the heart, kidney, intestine, everywhere,” he said. That also explained why smokers and people with pre-existing conditions who had a weakened endothelial function, or unhealthy blood vessels, were more vulnerable to the novel coronavirus, he said.
