That's so racist.

That's so racist.

If you needed another reason to hate politicians... Here's another. https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/illinois-construction-workers-traveling-to-wisconsin-to-work-on-pritzkers-farm-amid-stay-at-home-order A big construction project at Gov. JB Pritzker’s Wisconsin horse farm has some questioning whether the governor is honoring the spirit of his own stay-at-home order. FOX 32 News watched Thursday as construction workers from Illinois crossed the border to work on the governor’s farm. Pritzker, though, says there is no double standard because construction workers are exempt. FOX 32 wandered over the Wisconsin border into Kenosha County and found more than 20 construction workers -- nearly all from Illinois -- helping build a massive new home and several outbuildings on Pritzker's horse farm. We did not get a warm welcome. "Anything better to do?" one woman asked. FOX 32’s Dane Placko: "Well, we're just doing a little story about the governor's property." "Which is just really stupid," the woman responded. Dane: "Why?" "Cause he's doing a great job, don't you think?" the woman said. Pritzker has been generally praised for his handling of the COVID-19 crisis, which includes an appeal to limit travel. But when FOX 32 obtained the permits for the 7,000 square-foot, $2.5-million project, we found a lot of people would be traveling from Illinois to build it. All but one of the listed contractors is based in Chicago or its suburbs, and we saw cars and construction vehicles with Illinois plates leaving the project and turning south into the Land of Lincoln.

So the idea is that you should have sufficient testing capacity in order to open up so that you can catch any new outbreaks and contain them. The administrations plan I think listed specific testing capacities suggested for different phases of opening, e.g. 'be able to test all your healthcare workers with X frequency'. SO that means you need to have a certain PCR (antigen test) capacity. Adding your antibody test capacity in order to meet the milestone means you won't really meet it.

Cool info, Jolly! What a different world and war experience WW2 was...

I do not know much about this. What was the benefit of being in it? Why is it good to remove from it? What are possible bad sides of removing from it?

@Doctor-Phibes said in Crickets: @Jolly said in Crickets: Kinda funny...Jewish guy, Gestapo tactics. He locked them in a cell and then tortured and killed them? He murdered their families and stole all their money? Kinda funny....Jewish guy, nothing whatsoever like the Gestapo. Why even bring up the fact that he's Jewish? I dunno. Lying on purpose to create perjury traps. Threatening to financially ruin families. Threatening to prosecute innocent people to obtain forced confessions. Maybe Weissmann wasn't pulling gold teeth out of corpses, but he was definitely beyond the pale of what I would consider ethical investigative and prosecutorial conduct. Sadly, not for the first time.

Looks awfully green for the Golden Gate area. Spring most likely.

Why would a school want to increase the number of students who aren't smart? I assume there is some kind of money angle. It only punishes the bright students and frustrates the dummies. Yes I said dummies, I am terrible.

Hahahahaha

After my recent surgery I could now hit the X....

Might as well toss in Gary Moore, who not only could play a guitar like a madman, but had an iconic voice: Link to video

I've read some stuff saying we might have eight million homeschool kids this fall. Don't know what your views are, but I would evaluate it.

Pretty impressive, although the music itself gets a little boring after a while.

@Jolly said in 17 Pounds...: I would love to know what's going on with the bad cut and paste bad links... https://maritime.org/doc/cookbook1945/pg434.htm Try this... Ok, that should work. BTW, that's the 1945 USN cookbook. Half the time you can't upload a picture either, but don't say anything or Klaus will get offended.

How about cable TV sowing division in America. They are not even bots.

Nice that Doug Hurley was the pilot on the final Shuttle flight.
