@lufins-dad said in Every cloud has a silver lining: First, @Axtremus @Mik I'm willing to bet the opposite. Unsolicited mail-in ballots are now precedent. No ID or even verifying of signatures for mail-in is now precedent. There are reasonable answers to questions about late-night ballot dumps, machines changing votes, and access for poll watchers. That's great. The underlying issue about the validity of this election still comes back to the fact that there really is no way to determine the validity and origin of huge numbers of these mail-in ballots. That is still the elephant in the room. The PA and Wisconsin State Legislators did not protest or challenge when their state executives and courts infringed on their power and their authority in this process. There's no reason to expect them to fix the issue going forward and there's not a chance that you will see a Constitutional Amendment passed to create a uniform elector system between states. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/6716/the-fraud Elections in Turkey are easier to monitor...

Like I said I don’t think it’s a big lie or they sold them or whatever. Just incompetence.

@bachophile said in How much skin should your kid have in the game?: @klaus generally the countries which make you pay for ambulance service also charge a tuition for education that requires you go deeply into debt. There must be some correlation there though I’m not sure it’s obvious. You maybe on to something there. Even here ambulance transport is not covered by the provincial health insurance for anyone under 65 years of age. You either have private supplemental health insurance to cover ambulance or pay out of pocket. Once you are 65 the ambulance is covered by an old age provincial supplemental health insurance entitlement through Blue Cross. We also charge tuition for all post secondary education. Hmmmmm

Frankly, I think the Johnson and Johnson vaccine will be what turns the tide if they can start distribution by the end of February. Single shot, simpler production, and can be stored between 36 to 46 degrees.

That is probably an Air Force plane - tail number ends in AF. I owned a plane that started life with an AF tail number, but it got a new number when it became a civilian. At first I thought the guy did a nice job raising the flaps just inches before landing, that probably saved some damage. But after watching again, I'm not sure. The crash might have forced the flaps up.

@axtremus said in Twitter CEO: "This is bigger than Trump.": @loki said in Twitter CEO: "This is bigger than Trump.": It’s lost about 9 billion for investors YTD Don‘t you just wish you had 9 billion to lose? Heh. Jack Dorsey will soon find out if he doesn’t get the valuation up that it is not his company. That will be a fine reckoning.

@jon-nyc sooth.

They did not seem to know until this week who was going to administer in Ohio. It's some odd players.

Then the town becomes a Magenta town.

My wife gave me some very clashy socks that say Sorry I'm Late I Didn't Want to Fucking Be Here. Too bad I'll never be able to use them in their most relevant setting!
