I suspect the cockpit is soundproof, to muffle the pilot screaming?

Maybe it’s the other way around 😂

Nope, guess again

Scrambled, well done, if possible cooked in a little grease leftover from the bacon.

Also, I’m surprised we haven’t ventured into online voting yet. Maybe that’d be a bad thing...

Abuse, fraud and corruption would be much easier.

But what matters is if one side or the other sees an advantage in the fraud.

Damn, that’s insane. I’m fairly certain your son was like 6 years old or so.

Supreme Court, in rare late-night ruling, says California may enforce certain restrictions on religious gatherings

“ The Supreme Court late Friday rejected a California church’s challenge of the state’s new pandemic-related rules on worship services, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joining the court’s liberals in the 5-to-4 vote.

Roberts wrote that state officials such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) had leeway to impose restrictions to prevent the spread of coronavirus, and had not singled out places of worship for unfair treatment.

Thanks, now I could finally replicate your problem, Rainman.

I tried it with Edge and Chrome. Edge does this a little bit better. But in both cases, the problem only occurs if there is very little vertical space and plenty of horizontal space (if there's little horizontal space, too, the answer window turns into the "mobile phone" layout). So, you can either force "mobile layout" or allow more vertical space to get a usable emoji window.

I'm watching the riots in several cities this evening.
These people are not practicing social distancing.
Good thing the pandemic is over, otherwise this could be a catalyst to that exponential growth of the virus in urban areas.

Whew! That was a close one.

Yeah, but many of them were wearing masks...

The entire point of any piece of music is to entertain. The idea of a polka band covering Guns and Roses and then knocking it out of the park like that resulted in something that I found fantastically entertaining.

Nice, may be some day similar technology can benefit victims of female genital mutilation.

I just checked my account, I don't see anything obvious.

The thing I wanted was that any email address in my domain would be forwarded to my default address.

So if I use tncr@mydomain.com it will come to me but I didn't do anything to setup that email address. So whenever I set up an account on the web (I have hundreds like most people) I use the name of the site like hertz@mydomain.com or amazon@mydomain.com. It just helps me sort things.

I looked around, but I don't see anywhere I can set this up, maybe the GoDaddy guy had to do it.

Coronavirus: South Korea closes schools again after biggest spike in weeks
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-52845015

South Korea reopened schools briefly, saw number new COVID-19 cases shot up, so they close the schools again.

Now that our testing per capita far exceeds South Korea we should be in better shape. It’s a long battle, harping on the initial roll out may prove to be irrelevant in the long run.

And yet most newborn babies look like Churchill.

I used to tell my patients (obviously only those who had a good sense of humor) that all newborns look like Edward G. Robinson.

Brilliant title to the thread.
