    @Aqua-Letifer said in Revival: @Jolly said in Revival: @Aqua-Letifer said in Revival: “It has absolutely been social media that is the mechanism that people found out about this,” said Mark Whitworth, Asbury University’s vice president of communications. Thoughts? Heck, I dunno. I think it wouldn't be right to read too deeply into it. Almost certainly that'll lead to false conclusions that say more about what the speaker believes than the matter at hand. Seems cool, though, and I'm glad people are getting something out of it. What I thought about when I read Aqua’s post was how the printing press put a bible in nearly every home, along with a stack of Hustlers…

    After they just spent all that time on the morning shows explaining why it wasn’t their responsibility, that Norfolk and Western will take care of it.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Yours truly, Anthony Fauci: if you are overweight, you should probably lose a few pounds There should be an effort made to fix this. Like cigarettes But for some reason, the tide seems to be going in the opposite direction.

    Keep the kids involved in actual social activities. Scouts. Band. Athletics. Church groups. Study groups. It was a requirement in our house.

    @Axtremus The PA-97 was built under a 1980 U.S. Navy contract for the Forest Service to demonstrate a heavy vertical airlifter for harvesting timber from inaccessible terrain. The single demonstrator used a retired Navy ZPG-2W blimp envelope and four Sikorsky H-34J helicopters. The combination of a large blimp with powered lift made the 343 foot (104.57 m) long helistat the largest dynamic lift aircraft in the world.[1] The helicopters used were aged examples of a long-established design. Their tail rotors were removed, their fuselages shortened and they were attached to a crude tubular aluminum framework beneath the helium-filled envelope. Four freely-castering twin-wheel bogies beneath the framework provided the undercarriage. Criticism has been expressed of the structural qualities and stress analysis of this framework.[3] Test flights were made from the Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst in New Jersey, making use of the long-established hangars for handling large airships. First flight was on 26 April 1986.[4] On 1 July 1986, the PA-97 crashed immediately after liftoff on a test flight, killing one of the pilots.[3][5] A gust of wind from the rear of the aircraft induced some movement across the ramp. The undercarriage responded badly to this, the bogies shimmying uncontrollably.[3] Vibration in the framework then coupled with a helicopter phenomenon known as ground resonance.[3] The vibration was sufficient to cause a structural failure as the starboard rear helicopter broke off its mounting, its rotors cutting into the gasbag.[3] The unbalanced lift then made the vibrations worse and the remaining three helicopters broke free.

    I almost wish the Russians would slip up and attack NATO so we could annihilate the Russian forces in Ukraine.

    Oh, they can fire her. And then probably close that pharmacy down. Or pay somebody silly money to locum tenens. Standard signing bonus money for a retail pharmacist nowadays is 50 grand. If you can find one.

    @Jolly said in Lots of internal FOXNews conversations released: On any given work day, at any given minute, a company's employees are discussing how to pitch their services or a product. Fox News does it, CNN does it. Wells Fargo, GM, Boeing, Exxon all do it. Shucks, the White House staff does it. Shucks, the tncr staff does it

    @jon-nyc said in Natural Immunity: Seems consistent with other viruses AFAIK. But as usual it’s safer to get the immunity from a vaccine than from an infection. @Jolly I don’t remember being told otherwise, I only remember there not being sufficient data. That’s my recollection as well.
