    @jon-nyc said in We haven't beat on the IHME model in a while: THey are not predicting a significant increase in the death rate even as the new case rate is doubling every 14 days. Seems rather optimistic. [image: 1594045044005-screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-10.17.05-am-resized.png] In the event, their optimism was unfounded. Daily deaths now are about double the maximum number they predicted.

    Yeah he did. And great dirt on himself, which he gladly shared in a private setting.

    and in my naïveté I thought this would be a thread about the New York City museum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frick_Collection

    It's not like there's a big whole tongue on your plate. You get a 3-4 slices and the meat is really tender. Shoot, I should have taken a picture. Anyway, like Mik said, they make great tacos.

    I am very happy. this man has taken nothing but abuse and grief for his efforts to keep Ohioans healthy and the economy going. Nice republic if you can keep it. At times it would appear we almost deserve to lose it.

    I'd have to imagine there was something to it. Like the bottom of the cup slightly curved, or a wrinkle in her cap she used to clip it into. EVEN if that were true, it's impressive. And if those theories weren't true, even MORE impressive. Also, I bet she swam that 50m faster than I could without a milk glass on my head!

    Fascinating. Saving for later. My uncle was there, BTW. I remember he gave me a Bosnian t-shirt when he came back. Didn't get a whole lot of stories.

    @Kincaid said in Took Luke to a range yesterday.: @Jolly said in Took Luke to a range yesterday.: The reason I said that...The Shield EZ .380 is made for people who want a centerfire, defensive handgun, but don't have a lot of hand strength or are recoil adverse. My middle daughter did her research and is saving up for a Ruger LCP II in .380 for fun and safety. And the polymer is pink. The Shield EZ is a bigger gun with a grip safety and a easy to jack slide. It's softer shooting than the Ruger. Having said that... I like the LCP. I carry one a lot. I have the first edition, not the second and the LCP II has the better trigger. A couple of things...The gun does not like to be limp-wristed and it helps to "slingshot" the slide when putting it into battery. As with any of the pocket rockets, it may have a particular ammo it really prefers...I use Hornady Critical Defense, but hers may like something else. I think she'll like it.

    @Jolly said in Must See TV?: Levin's radio show is a screech fest. His show on Fox is more Buckley-esque. Haha I was going to say something similar, though I haven't watched his TV show. On the radio Levin seems very tightly wound.
