When this takes hold in Africa it will cut a wide swath of death. China will not be popular.

But we are bending the curve.

I got a sleek white one.

But I paid 215. I didn't care. I saw the knockoffs on Amazon and they looked worse than fake. It was either burn masks (themselves bought dearly on eBay) or buy the thing.

@mark said in Calico was tough.:

Oh man. Tough day. Good on you for not letting her suffer.

Yes. This.
Hardest part of having pets or animals of any kind, letting them go before they suffer needlessly. It's awful and necessary.

I'm sure George knows this, but that's the same guy that gave us

Well it wasn’t 175k jobs in NY of course. But the structural shift of retail and jobs of course when there are none for gig workers. None of this Covid was knowable but just probably stings a lot more now.

@Mik said in Drug Shortages:

Why is propofol is short supply? It's short acting. I would not think it terribly useful in sedating intubated patients. George?

Very useful - when given by infusion. You through gallons of the stuff.

I saw it yesterday. I was going to post it.

**"A Dutch F-16 fighter jet flying a training exercise over the Netherlands scored a direct hit — on itself — when the pilot fired the aircraft’s 20mm rotary cannon.

Sometimes, even inanimate objects will do anything to get out of training.

The Royal Netherlands Air Force pilot was able to make an emergency landing at Leeuwarden Air Base after the plane suffered “considerable damage,” according to a report from Dutch state media.

At least one round ripped through the jet’s exterior, the report said, while munition fragments were also found in the aircraft’s engine."**

A summary I saw in English (Klaus - tell us if this translation sums it up):

So on September 1, you can go to a concert but not to church?

It's based on ticket price.

@jon-nyc said in Would somebody explain why ...:

Florida also presided over a weeks-long super spreading event that effected the whole country.

"Affected" but yeah.

A man noticed a gorgeous woman staring at him from across the room. Suddenly she started walking toward him, never taking her eyes off of him. She walked up, looked at him her big blue eyes and in the sexiest voice he'd ever heard said "hello. My name is Carmen. I chose that name because it encompasses the two things I love the most and can't do without - cars, and men. And what is your name?"

The man says "Pussy. Pussy Beertits.".....

Saw that. Interesting

I would too. We are long overdue for an honest conversation about how much government we can afford.

Then have them voted on.

Constitutional crisis averted.

@Jolly said in What's not being talked about.:

I'm seeing very little in the media about the lasting effects of COVID-19 on many patients. Pulmonary problems, cardiac problems, kidney problems, and other life-long ailments.

I saw something about this but it was in context that these life long after effects occur in many viruses such as the flu. They don’t know yet if it’s more prevalent yet but if more victims you will see more. Wish I could find the article.

How long does that bird has to wait before it can fly again? I watched the video to the end hoping to see it fly but it doesn’t by the end of the video. How would that rabbit come out of the cloaca later?

@jon-nyc said in Big-time:

What? Nobody contacted you yet?

I'm retired, son.
