SO stolen.

@axtremus said in Joe Mask: @jolly said in Joe Mask: Sorry, that was the last President. You mean the one who got hospitalized for having contracted COVID-19? Yep, the one who survived it, like 99% of the rest of Americans.

He's not losing a lot of patrons. The NBA's ratings are in the dumper.

I think the Twitter handle is like the old Drudge (does anybody go there anymore?) flashing light.

@loki said in "Suicide by Cop?": So we think it’s their conclusion. Does that make it true? I don't know. Two members of Congress think it is.

@doctor-phibes said in Google censors private stuff?: @loki said in Google censors private stuff?: How can one react without understanding any context? I have no idea what this person wrote about or their posting and/or emailing history. Somebody Tweeted it was alarming. That's enough for me. I thought we were so much smarter now. Like having an opinion or assertion without proof would never cross someone’s mind to be skeptical. LOL

Live and learn “We argue there really isn’t much of a benefit to the 6-foot rule, especially when people are wearing masks,” Bazant said in an interview. “It really has no physical basis because the air a person is breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in the room so you’re more exposed to the average background than you are to a person at a distance.”

Surely this is the Great Depression 3.0. Version 2.0 was confidently announced in 2008.

a mayor calling for doxxing people. That's sad. As Hari Seldon said about violence, the last resort of the incompetent.

@taiwan_girl said in The Pandemic Will Be More Deadly This Year: I bet that actual numbers are probably 3-4 time higher https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/24/covid-19-indias-hospital-crisis-deepens-tokyo-goes-under-state-of-emergency Russia announced on Friday it would impose a 10-day non-working period at the beginning of May to stem the virus spread, a departure from the government’s hands-off approach in recent months. Russia has been hard-hit by Covid-19, with the Rosstat state statistics agency recording more than 224,000 virus-related deaths – more than double the 107,501 that health officials reported as of Friday. If correct, the Rosstat toll would mean Russia has the third-highest number of coronavirus deaths in the world, after the United States and Brazil.

They were ahead of their time with that technique. It's very surprising how well it worked. It could still be used today to good effect for the low budget film folks.

@george-k said in Today's lunch: Burgers, beer, fries and bullshit. Great time for all four of us. Nice nicknames, which one are you?
