@axtremus said in Network of pro-China propaganda accounts exposed and banned: How a fake network pushes pro-China propaganda https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-58062630 It's hard to think of a topic that is less useful for ordinaries to spend time contemplating. It's like a pillbug worrying about Oak Wilt.

@jolly said in Pervy Cuomo: Pervy has nervy. https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2021/08/04/andrew-cuomos-doubling-down-his-former-aides-are-scratching-their-heads-1389522 The only one who seems to be unaware of the desperate state of affairs is the governor. Aides close to the governor say he is pushing for a press conference to refute James’s report in further detail, though it’s unclear if and when that plan will come to fruition as they try to talk him down. Cuomo’s initial response Tuesday was a 14-minute, pre-taped video in which he said he and his family have experienced a hard and painful past few months, but he’d like to share his side of the story.

@copper said in F'ing motorcycles: For a few years I had dinner every first Wednesday of the month with a retired Air Force One pilot, he flew Nixon, Ford and Carter. At the time he was in his late 70s. Years before, he promised his family he would stop flying the small planes, like I flew, when he reached age 60. I was age 62 at the time. This man was probably the most talented pilot I ever met. And I have met a bunch of talented pilots. If he quit at age 60, why was I still doing this at age 62? There comes a time to ask that question. My friends' step father, Bill is 95 years old and stills flies GA. I am not sure if this will affect his certification but, he just had a heart valve replaced and was home two days later.

Cute.

That’s hilarious.

@copper said in Lambda variant: @george-k said in Lambda variant: Lambda, which is also known as the C.37 variant, is responsible for 1,037 cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. Death count, or it doesn't matter Tell that to the people with Covid-related heart problems.

Watching that video....including the guy who has to put on a hazmat suit and crawl through attics cleaning up old toxic dust... makes me very much appreciate my current job.

Google translates it to 'fak'. In any event it's a great mental picture that I suspect doesn't mean what the South Koreans think.
