Time lag is a good 22 days. Cases really are rising.

@jon-nyc said in Oh good. More Star Wars: @LuFins-Dad said in Oh good. More Star Wars: @jon-nyc said in Oh good. More Star Wars: Remember that seeing Star Wars multiple times in the theatre was a big thing? I remember a kid interviewed on the local news who had seen it 17 times. Nowadays you’d empty your college fund doing that. I saw it twice in the theaters. And that was a huge concession from my folks, who thought that was a waste of money (I was 9 maybe). Anyone else see it multiple times? I mean during its first run in the theaters. Yes, once in a regular theater and twice at a drive-in. Really? Weren’t you like 3? I didn’t say I drove... I was 5 when it came out, but it was still showing in Drive-Ins 2 years later.

Very neat map

Would you like to actually get your order? I used to tip them in cash because I prefer to tip for services received, not just because. Then my daughter started driving for Instacart. No tip? You might not have a driver accept the gig. Drivers do not have to take what they don’t want. That changes the equation. Now I am back to a 20% tip at time of order and I get great service.

@brenda said in It's OK to hate Deplorables.: @jon-nyc said in It's OK to hate Deplorables.: We have plenty of funny here. Are you guys skipping the Giuliani threads? Not a lot of cute, though. I’ll give you that. For cuteness we have froggos. Thank you.

Now this LEADERSHIP (from behind) The WHO is set to approve the vaccine.....wait for it....in a couple of weeks. Remember how we were supposed to rely on WHO? Actually it’s just another reminder of how messed up the blame game has been. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/12/world-health-organization-set-to-approve-coronavirus-vaccine-by-end-of-2020-hopes-for-equitable-access/

TG suggested the solution by putting the name of the theorem into the title, and of course I couldn't resist looking it up. The proof is a little tricky.

Reminds me of when my grandpa turned 100 and threw away his legos. The boxes said ages 3-99, and he was always such a rule follower.

That's hilarious, also a place to visit in your 20s.

Hemostasis is not my cup o' tea, once you get past real basic stuff.

Borowitz Report: Fauci a Little Weirded Out by People Suddenly Listening to Him “I guess I got used to being in meetings where I’d start talking and people would take that as an opportunity to look at their phones,” he said.

@Doctor-Phibes said in 5 years isn't enough.: I don't understand how anybody could do what these people did to their pet. And they sit and wait, and wait, and wait . . . My dog was my best friend, too.

I wonder if they can pinpoint just why it is so minor for the young, and becomes so much worse for people who are older, but in no way elderly. It seems to be such a mysterious and weird disease.

Mine sounded like some kind of hangover of 90s wussrock, so I tried to emulate the style. Hey, everybody, it's the early 90s and Photoshop added this new thing called "drop shadow" as a filter style!! [image: 1607101391279-album-art.jpg]

Holy crap! A day before the collapse they were walking around up there?

@Mik said in Durham recommends prison: I'm thinking he's not going to get a pardon. LOL, prolly not from President Trump. Who knows what Joe will do.

I imagine the pitchers in Aqua's house are surprised on a fairly regular basis.

Prisoners of Geography Ten Maps that explain the world has an excellent chapter on China that helps in understanding the “why” here. Maybe it was somewhere else that I read that one strategy is to migrate non Muslims to the region to breed out the “dangerous” element.
