AOC is a stupid bint.
I had several nasty things to say. Being in a humanitarian mood I'll let you Morons take this topic on. It's OK for me to keep millions, but not for you.
Lefty billionaires expect us to lap up their every word. So now we have Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs, preaching to us about the badness of accumulated wealth. According to TheBlaze: "It's not right for individuals to accumulate a massive amount of wealth that's equivalent to millions and millions of other people combined," Jobs told the Times. "There's nothing fair about that. We saw that at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with the Rockefellers and Carnegies and Mellons and Fords of the world. That kind of accumulation of wealth is dangerous for a society. It shouldn't be this way." Despite that conviction, she justified her possession of her billions by saying she inherited it from her husband. But, she also won't pass it on to the next generation because neither she nor the late Steve Jobs believed in "legacy building" in that way.

Speaking of Coronavirus and Italy. Good luck if you're a senior citizen there.
Italy has said all shops except pharmacies and food outlets will be closed in response to the country's coronavirus outbreak as the death toll from the disease in the country jumped sharply in the last 24 hours. A top Italian doctor said intensive care wards should place an age limit on beds as a way of prioritising medical resources amid the deepening crisis that has seen cases in Italy rise by 196 to 827 today. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the latest wave of restrictions in a dramatic appeal to the nation that came as the country of 60 million battles its biggest crisis in generations. Conte said in his nine-minute evening prime time address to the nation: 'Thank you to all Italians who make sacrifices. We are proving to be a great nation.'
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
A French woman is facing up to 10 years in prison and a hefty fine of up to 150,000 euros ($170,000) for remarrying her ex-husband without his knowledge, in order to prevent him from moving on with his life. The unnamed woman, who worked as a high-ranking judge in Hauts-de-Seine, France’s Ile-de-France region, reportedly decided to take revenge on her ex-husband, after he had left her for another woman. To add insult to injury, the woman had been dumped for the sister of a French minister that she herself had worked as a judicial adviser for. Her bizarre plan involved remarrying her husband without his knowledge or consent, so as to prevent him from moving on with his life alongside his new partner.

Vegan Runner Roasted For Asking Neighbors To Close All Windows When Cooking Meat Alison Sullivan While I am not a vegan, I understand the nutritional and moral reasons for abstaining from animal products. I respect them. But for some, it seems to be more about wanting to exert control over other people’s choices than about honoring the lives of animals. It’s a shame that these types of vegans get the most attention, but some of them are really asking for it. Like this person who posted to NextDoor and subsequently got shared on the Best Of Next Door Twitter account @bestofnextdoor. If you’re unfamiliar with the platform, it’s a way for communities to communicate with each other, like an online message board. It has a reputation for being a place for people to report seeing anyone “unusual” their neighborhood to one another. It’s also a place where one vegan in Berkely went to try and shame their entire neighborhood into cooking and eating with their windows closed. Their post is titled, “Please close your windows when cooking meat!!” It starts:

The stars of Discovery Channel's Diesel Brothers television show are being ordered to pay $851,451 for their role in producing and selling modified diesel pickups that wreaked environmental havoc in the state of Utah. David "Heavy D" Sparks, Joshua Stuart, Keaton Hoskins, and Dave Kiley—a.k.a. "Diesel Dave"—were the targets of a case that reached a federal judge after being initiated by Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment. It was then ruled that the defendants must pay the aforementioned dollar amount to the United States government and Davis County with additional restitution potentially on the way.
Rules are meant to be _____________?
No nationwide program to recover these banned weapons; only state to do so is California. Around 100,000 convicted felons across the US still likely own a gun, despite being banned from doing so, concludes the first study of its kind, published online in Injury Prevention. There’s no nationwide program to recover these weapons, with California the only state to do so. But such an initiative might go some way to curbing firearm violence in the US, suggest the researchers. Relatively little attention has been paid to people who legally purchase guns but who are subsequently banned from firearm ownership because of a conviction for violent crime; or an admission to hospital for a mental health emergency; or a domestic abuse restraining order. And there are likely to be many of them, say the researchers, because millions of people buy guns legally every year in the US and bans on ownership are common. In California alone, 5-10% of 21 to 49-year old gun owners with a history of arrest are convicted of a felony within five years of their purchase.

The next Democratic debate between Sleepy Joe & Crazy Bernie will have safety precautions installed.
U.S.—The DNC has announced a controversial new debate format after pressure from both the Sanders and Biden campaigns in which the candidates will stand at podiums that are equipped with Life Alert buttons in case the debaters fall down and can't get up.
Life Alert, which is sponsoring the debate, is supplying the podiums free of charge. The candidates, who are old and may collapse to the ground at any moment, will be able to press the button should they suddenly have a heart attack or just have no idea where they are. Aides will then be able to come up and either stand them back up and hold them upright for the duration of the debate or tell them, "Hey, Joe, the year is 2020 and you're running for president. Joe! Speak to me Joe! JOOOOE!!!"
Pro angler Jason Quinn sues Bernie Sanders over campaign video.
In one of the more unusual news headlines this week, pro bass angler Jason Quinn has sued Bernie Sanders claiming the Democratic Presidential candidate used Quinn's image without permission for a campaign video. The Herald reports the lawsuit was filed February 29 in South Carolina's York County Civil Court. The heart of the matter is a video made by the Sanders campaign in 2018 about President Donald Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico. Quinn claims he appears in the video and that he never gave permission for the use of his likeness.
A transgender woman named Ria Cooper has apparently contacted police because a guy wouldn't have sex with Cooper. The guy's reason for not sleeping with Ria Cooper? It's because Cooper still "had a c*ck." This whole mess started when Cooper and a photographer were talking on an app called Whatsapp and the guy said he could help her career. By career, we're talking about possibly modeling or even adult videos, but either way - the photographer guy stopped talking to Ria Cooper when he found out she still had a p*nis. This was all covered in a news article on Hull, written by Tom Kershaw:
[NEW SMYRNA BEACH] – A Florida Man who felt like he wasn’t getting enough attention set his hospital bed on fire, according to the New Smyrna Beach Police. Authorities say John King admitted to setting a plastic bag on fire as he believed it would get the attention of the AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach staff, who he felt was ignoring him when he requested they bring him his clothes. His hospital roommate told authorities he saw King an object on fire, however, he convinced him to put it out. When he returned to his bed, he saw King again lighting a fire. At this point, the roommate alerted staff using the emergency button in the room. “The (expletive) in here lit his bed on fire. I can’t breathe. The smoke is in the room,” the roommate told the staff.

Did she have a child with Jobs? If she didn't have a child with him, then she doesn't have a next generations to pass it on to, does she?
Anyway, Jobs was pretty much known for not apologizing for his accumulating enormous wealth, and if I'm not mistaken, he tended to steer clear of politics. As usual, the chick who inherited a shitload of money, is not as smart as the person who created the fortune.

The Russians moved amazingly quickly to close the borders, once cases started to be reported in Wuhan. A senior Chinese diplomat travelled to Moscow at the same time to take up a position in the Chinese embassy, and the Russians put him into 14-day mandatory quarantine.

The golf chick's tits are very nice, I must say. If I had tits like that, which I very decidedly do not, I'd probably show them off myself. Not as much as she does as I don't like being leered at, and also I'm an engineer, but at least some.

Instead of using fissile material, use fusion. There's the usual problem that you can't land an Orion but pff. Just add landing modules, chemical propellant, parachutes etc to the payload and store it in an orbital depot.

Did she have a child with Jobs? If she didn't have a child with him, then she doesn't have a next generations to pass it on to, does she?
Anyway, Jobs was pretty much known for not apologizing for his accumulating enormous wealth, and if I'm not mistaken, he tended to steer clear of politics. As usual, the chick who inherited a shitload of money, is not as smart as the person who created the fortune.

describes an active structure maglev cable transport system that would be around 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long and maintained at an altitude of up to 80 km (50 mi). A launch loop would be held up at this altitude by the momentum of a belt that circulates around the structure. This circulation, in effect, transfers the weight of the structure onto a pair of magnetic bearings, one at each end, which support it.

I replied no. She gave me a sticker stating my screened status and told me to wear it while in the place.
The PA, doctor and lab staff had not seen one before. Yes, I did feel retarded but we all had a laugh about it.

So what is worse. Busting your ass and being poor, or busting your ass and having the possibility to find out if you are miserable when rich.

A top Italian doctor said intensive care wards should place an age limit on beds as a way of prioritising medical resources amid the deepening crisis that has seen cases in Italy rise by 196 to 827 today.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the latest wave of restrictions in a dramatic appeal to the nation that came as the country of 60 million battles its biggest crisis in generations.
Conte said in his nine-minute evening prime time address to the nation: 'Thank you to all Italians who make sacrifices. We are proving to be a great nation.'

That's what the miserable rich guy I knew thought at the beginning. It took him some time, but he finally realized it's your relationships with other people that make you happy, and he didn't know anyone who didn't want to be around him because of his money.
At some point he started going hard on drugs and hookers. Added a bunch of new problems to his life. Eventually he OD'd and died. There's a lot of speculation, but nobody knows if it was intentional or not.

Yes.
The run on TP and such, as well as the DOW crashing aren't so much fear about the virus, but fear about the fear of the virus.
The run on TP is because people fear runs on TP and being holed up for extended periods during some shutdown.
It's a positive feedback fear loop.

Or complain about "thoughts and prayers" and get people arguing about that. Or stand in front of military coffins and lie that it was all because of a YouTube video. The point was not so much to score political points (as most of us thought at the time) but to make sure that this country could never EVER come together in the most basic human spirit of brotherhood and understanding, no matter what befalls us. Unity is enemy numero uno.
The masks having completely been discarded, this may no longer seem like it was a novel observation, but in 2010, trust me it was. I genuinely think the globalists got spooked by our patriotic response to 9/11, then got lucky with the neverending wars and daily deathcount milestone celebrations which tamped it all down good and hard. Then when President Jarrett got in, and the "news" was taking all instruction from the WH every day, it was easy to implement.
I'm positive they made a vow that no one would ever be able to come together in this country ever again, for any reason. And they started with *tragedy*, which for a time was honestly the only thing left that *could* bring us together. And here we are.

A Recession is when GDP is negative for two consecutive quarters.
The DJIA could plunge to 20K tomorrow and it will not mean we're in a recession.
It would mean we're in a Bear Market.
We are just now, technically, in a Bear Market, i.e., the stock market indices (DJIA, NASDAQ, etc) are down 20% from its highs.

Supply and demand. Here's the fear feedback loop. Oh no, Zombie Virus!!! THey're gonna quarantine us, like Rob and Laura in New Rochelle. I won't be able to go to the store! What do I need? TP! Better stock up on TP.
Now, demand for TP starts increasing. People notice this. My God, they're buying up all the TP! I won't have any! I've got to buy a truck load of TP now or I won't have any!!!!11111!!!
And thus demand goes up even higher.
The normal response to that is the price spikes. That counters the positive feedback, reducing demand.
Now, things like TP are needed for everybody, and the best way to handle a demand hysteria is indeed rationing, for necessities and near necessites.
You say, "limit n per customer". That caps demand and keeps the price from rising.

There's a semi-famous SF story about a billionaire who is sure a depression is coming and sponsors a scientist to invent a time machine so he can find out when it is. When he uses it, he finds it happens just the next day after he left. He sells off his stocks and preserves his fortunes.
Turns out his sell off *triggered* the collapse and he gets murdered by his tame scientist who had all his money in stocks and such.

Remember... all those Democrats who "weren't worried" about Trump in 2015 and 2016 and were publicly laughing at him - were actually secretly spying on him to find something, anything, to take him down.
Watch what they're doing, not what they're saying. The Democrats are congenitally fucked as long as Trump is on the ticket and the ones with brains have known since right around his first SOTU.

Sanders said he would not have closed the borders for any reason were he in charge. Would have let Virus infested ppl here. But everyone admits now that trump closed travel from China delayed the severity of it here by a few weeks. That is a few extra weeks to get supply chains and medical stuff and quarantines in place we would not have had.
Trump still looks like the adult in this scenario. But the same people buying toilet paper will believe the media when they scream this is all Trumps fault.

newsflash Washington D.C : AOC, the House's newest wordsmith has discovered yet further new words by her celebrated technique of "verbing".
Since her election she has added several words to the American lexicon by the forging in her word-smithy action words like "access-dooring", "patroning" and, on the discovery of what the funny switch on the wall near the kitchen sink, another masterwork, "disposaling"
Representative Ocasio-Cortez is has also been exploring the use of the emotional intensifier, "literally" though she makes no claim on it being original to her.
Many of her Democrat peers in the House have expressed support for her attempt to create a "New-Speaking" for political and cultural expression, and several have stated that they are "literally besiding her"
Although AOC had been the focus of criticism from Conservative voices who claim that her innovations are actually corruption of the long traditions of the English language, sources close to her have responded such changes are needed in these modern times, to discover modern meaning through deconstructionism of history "as we understand it."
These same sources also state that AOC has floated another novel term explaining this criticism, that her critics are "belittling" her, a term of approbation she hopes will catch on with her supporters and like minded people.

Corona Virus deaths in the US so far 38
Think I'll go buy some lottery tickets before the Wuhan Flu gets me.
Posted by: 18-1 at March 11, 2020 11:10 PM (WdocV)
A lottery winner must be constantly bombarded with "I lost my job/I have cancer/my wife is in the hospital/please just a small loan so I can buy a new car to get to work/pay my rent/bills etc. etc. etc."
And some of those people are going to be "friends" he hasn't seen since high school or people who otherwise wouldn't give him the time of day. Women who are suddenly very interested in him, for instance.
If the lottery winner is a goodhearted person, he or she will help -at least the people he judges to be genuinely deserving - but after a while, would come to resent all those claims and requests. If he's made of sterner stuff and refuses, well, then he's going to hear that he's a greedy, selfish bastard.
I think if I won the lottery bigtime, I'd give my immediate family money right away and then head the hell out of town for a very long vacation, just to avoid those people. But not everyone can do that - they have kids in school and so forth.

Yeah that was an odd turn. Maybe not a troll so much as a little bit touched. It's easy to delve too deep into something like this and just get lost in your own panic.
I don't mind the differing viewpoints. It is energy, and it keeps the place from becoming too homogenous which is the benefit of an open forum. None of us really know anything. I mostly skip his posts. Maybe a warning is in order if it continues escalating.

It would have to be the only story for the next seven months. Is it really possible to keep hysteria levels up high enough to pretend that the new Soviet Politburo (aka Democrats) will make things better?
Lets see... Trump who has accomplished many things over the past three years - or a demented, angry and confused fool who will be a puppet of the Who's Who of the Worst of the Deep State?

Went to Fred Meyer, a big one, maybe a third of the regular crowd size for 530pm. Went over to the McDonalds around 6pm and there were four people in the store, usually the tables are full about that time.
Went to the Walgreens, I was the only one in the store.
Then drove home, passing two weed stores, and their parking lots were filled up, and cars were waiting for other ones to move.

I followed the data, research, and scientists discussing this for 8 weeks and posted stuff. I can't count how many times I've been told to die and basically who cares if my family and countrymen die and suffer all at the conservative and boomer religion of consumerism and selfishness. You have sank to the level of the anti-humanity fanaticism of the Left.
Enjoy pointing out nothingburgers that aren't, bitching about hypocrisy of the Left and MSM while punching Right, and keep doubling down alienating the younger Right Wing of the MAGA base. You are doing way more harm than good. Yes, I'm pissedbecause for 8 weeks I took ad hominem attacks, was told to die, and I did nothing.
Hardcore Trump supporters need to backwash from the coolaid, this virus is not a freaking conspiracy against him or our country. Could it be used after the fact to hurt us, of course, but it's not a damn conspiracy. You sound like cultists of Obama and Hillary and are doing more bad than good for America First and Americans on this issue.

Yes, I read a piece by some lawyers on what to do if you win the lottery big.
Don't tell anyone (spouse excluded..maybve). Get an unlisted phone number. Hire a lawyer and finance guys right away.
If your friends, neighbors, and relatives find out, they are going to hate you. They will hate you, it's just a matter of time. Since you won it, you should give them their fair share. If you don't, they hate you.
You will be the target of every sob story and grifter you can imagine.

It'd be hard to do because, well, lottery. But taking that pragmatic approach is really the only way to approach it. If emotions intervene, you're much more likely to squander a once in a lifetime event. Hire people, not family, to protect you from yourself, so to speak. And audit your own auditor if the pot is large enough.

I agree - because what is "their side?" They don't have anything rational that they want done, they're just criticizing everything. That's not a plan. So, Trump has got to react in a Big Way, to show people he's Taking it Seriously, and it is going to require some Seriously Pointless and Futile Gestures to guarantee that everyone realizes he is Doing Something.
But I think he's going to be able to do it.

Yes, I read a piece by some lawyers on what to do if you win the lottery big.
Don't tell anyone (spouse excluded..maybve). Get an unlisted phone number. Hire a lawyer and finance guys right away.
If your friends, neighbors, and relatives find out, they are going to hate you. They will hate you, it's just a matter of time. Since you won it, you should give them their fair share. If you don't, they hate you.
You will be the target of every sob story and grifter you can imagine.
Posted by: publius
Create a trust, transfer the ticket to the trust BEFORE you validate it with the lottery (when it has no value), then let a lawyer handle the negotiating with the lottery/IRS.
Then think about a cover story. A car accident payout to explain new toys, can't work anymore, got into day trading, etc.

Yep. And their criticism now ("OMG, no travel to Europe! Xenophobia!") just looks stupid considering that they were bitching about him not doing anything.
What he has to keep doing is emphasizing the insanity of Open Borders and outsourcing manufacturing to China. I can't think of a better time to do it - Americans will be even more receptive to that message now than at any time in the past. The average Joe might not care that his T-shirts and sneakers were made in China. He probably cares very much - now- that medical supplies and face masks and antibiotics come from there.

have her start putting together a legal/financial team. I especially
wouldn't tell my family. That's not to say I wouldn't slid some their
way eventually, but they'd never know I hit it big. Just 'doing real
well' or something like that.
No big disbursements of any kind for awhile. But yes, go totally
dark and add layers of financial, legal and security protection.
Most states publish lottery winner names. Scammers then come out of the woodwork and will contact family members if you're not available to try and get to you.
If your state offers 90 days between claiming and publishing, take it. If they'll pay out to a LLC, form one. Hell, form several and have them own each other and make it opaque as hell.
And still you'll have scammers knocking on your door asking for 50k.

As far as peoples reactions to your posts, I do feel bad if you feel picked on. I really think it's kinda the way it works around here. Say stuff and folks may jump on one with both feet, however I also believe in the next moment they would pat you on the back and offer to buy you a drink.

describes an active structure maglev cable transport system that would be around 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long and maintained at an altitude of up to 80 km (50 mi). A launch loop would be held up at this altitude by the momentum of a belt that circulates around the structure. This circulation, in effect, transfers the weight of the structure onto a pair of magnetic bearings, one at each end, which support it.

Strictly speaking, you are not supposed to give up something that is a sin for Lent. If it is a sin (or giving it up improves you as a Christian) you should be doing that anyway. It is supposed to be something you enjoy. Self denial.

Inslee is a piece of sh**.
He officially said that groups of any kind over 250 cannot gather.
Something in the back of my mind, something about right to peacefully assemble, or something something something. Freedom of religion something something something.
If you aren't over 70 with bad lungs from smoking for 50 years, then you are probably ok. Progda wants to compare other people, living in other countries, with other health systems, to America. It is a false comparison.
Like said here previously, there were thousands of people flying to and from Wuhan China for at least 3 months, prior to even identifying it. Then, another month before Trump's China travel ban.
This Beervirus has been circulating in the USA for at least 5 months now.
If it were deadly to healthy people, many would have dropped long ago. But the fact is, they are not. They never have. And my money says it won't happen in the future, either.
But if it can be used as a tool by spreading panic and disinformation, to damage Trump, then by all means do so. That is their thinking. Just look at their faces and listen to their voices. Some are down right gleeful.
We have seen a lot of disinformation by the Progda Misinformation Machine the last week or so. A lot.
There is a large portion of the country that has no problem with this.

There is certainly better than store bought out there. But I recall the Collin's Street Bakery in Texas mails a pretty good apricot pecan fruitcake. Also, the German Stollen you see at Christmas can be really damn good if it comes from a decent bakery.

They have a whole H1N1 pandemic timeline and one thing they listed is schools dismissing early in May 2009, but not much else was mentioned in regards to restrictions or shutdowns etc.

Government over reach exemplified perfectly by the meat raffle story. Why wait so long to enforce a rule? New gun laws will fall into this category, where TPTB pass a law, say it's for everyone's good, then eventually persecute anyone that doesn't support the proper narrative.

My late Mother made wonderful fruitcake. None of us thought to get the recipe before she passed. Since then, I have "developed" a fruitcake recipe that everyone (those in the family who eat fruitcake ) love. It's also gluten free.
Secret: soak the fruit in dark rum for a month before using it.
Hmm, I bet just eating the boozy fruit would scare off the big old virus.

I've read that that's exactly the advice given to big lottery winners. Before you collect, move to a temporary lodging or outright move out of state, change your phone number, and go incognito until you can set yourself up with a more protected environment. After all, along with the money, you've just inherited a giant target.
Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at March 11, 2020 11:20 PM (6eEQ+)
In case of a major lottery win:
* do not hire a lawyer
* do not hire an attorney
Odds are, both of the ones you had in mind, simply aren't equipped or knowledgeable *enough* to properly set you up.
DO HIRE.. a Board Certified Tax Attorney.
Getting your "structure" set up correctly is vital. Done properly, you'll minimize that tax bite from the winnings, and you'll greatly insulate yourself from family, beggars, moochers and thieves.
* Follow your Tax Attorney's Advice, as to setting up a Trust or Corporation which will be the "on-paper WINNER" of the ticket. Pro-tip. Don't sign that ticket with your name, till you get that legal entity set up. Gonna have to have THAT name on the ticket.
* Have THAT entity lease a house for you in a secure, gated community. NOT under your own name.
* You might want to live there a couple months, you might want to stay a few years. Whatever is best for you and your family.
* Hire a Personal Secretary (highly screened and background checked), who will screen your mail, and keep "begs" from bothering your eyes and your time. They'll also have access to a special bank account, kept flush with enough to pay bills, but not enough to fund graft. You'll hand this person an envelope, weekly, with every bill, credit card receipt or other receipt you transacted. They'll know what matches the incoming bills, and which bills are fraud or other B.S.
* Contract with Life Lock, for your family's universe of accounts.
* You want a fancy car? Your corporation leases it. YOU, don't "buy" it.
* Do NOT buy a personal jet. If you wanna fly private, buy into a Fractional Ownership thing, or just straight up charters. It'll save you in the long run. Jet ownership is INSANELY expensive. FAA required engine overhauls are easily six figure, sometimes seven figure bills.
* Keep a fleet of plain-Jane, beater cars or trucks. There are times and places you'll wanna go and not look all "the rich guy".
There's lots more of this, but I've read a lot on the strategies, and these are the ones most often and most highly emphasized.
And yes. Getting out a few States from your own, is good advice for the first 90 to 180 days, too.
Then, go enjoy your money. You might not've "earned" it. But, you won it, and that's quite good enough for me.
Oh, and one final thing.
If you have or do win a major lottery, are reading or have then read my advice here, then this is your INVOICE in the amount of $10,000.00, payable Net 30, for my Unqualified Advice and Insights.

It's called the gambler's fallacy, which is usually stated thus: you flip a coin say three times and it comes heads all three time. You reason, hey, the next flip just has to be tails because the odds of 4 heads in a row are just so low.
Wrong. The odds of 3 heads followed by a tails are exactly the same as 3 heads followed by another heads.
This is based on rolls being independent of each other. If they are not, then previous values will affect future values. And example is card counting in blackjack.

Another gamblers fallacy I have thought about is this. You go to a roullette wheel and bet $50 on red. If you hit it, you go out for a free dinner. If you lose, you double the bet. If you lose again, you double your bet again. Most nights you will be able to go out for a freely won $50 dinner.
But the catch is the casinos have limits on how much you can bet and they see what you are doing. Sooner or later you will hit the limit and lose it all back.

Heh. I inventoried 91% isopropyl on hand. Not much, about a pint. Then I rummaged through the back of the bathroom closet and came up with two bottles of Sea Breeze astringent, 46.5% alcohol.
A little quick maths thought, and I get 1:1.2 = 70% , for about two pints of decent hand sanitizer.
There's a bottle of Listerine in there too, last ditch.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, .etc., etc. at March 12, 2020 12:48 AM (xSo9G)
On Fox and Friends a few days ago, they made homemade sanitizer.
99% alcohol, not the 70% stuff, two parts of that, to one part liquid aloe. Put it in a hand squirt bottle.
Add fragrance as desired, maybe a half dozen drops of natural oil.
Some researcher was there and said this is the bomb. The regulars all tried it and seemed impressed, then they cut to commercial.

That's probably true, but the same is true with any particular set of numbers. Assuming the game isn't rigged, the old numbers are just as likely to come up again as any other.
There are numbers you can pick that slightly increase your theoretical expected value, but not because they come up more often - ideally you want to pick numbers that other people are unlikely to pick, so that if you do hit the jackpot you don't have to share it. To that end you want to avoid numbers that could be made into dates or ID numbers. Anything other people would pick based on birthdays or graduation dates or whatever.

Posted by: Erebus at March 12, 2020 12:44 AM (EPXLU)
I think that's a mathematical fallacy, but I don't know how to prove
it. It sort of implies that the random number generator (is it always
falling balls?) retains some memory of what it has done previously, and
consciously avoids a repeat.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 12, 2020 12:58 AM (miJU3)
P=probability a ticket (a set of numbers) matches a drawing, assuming a fair draw
N=Total possible combinations of numbers
Necessarily, NxP=1
So the probability of you winning this week is P, regardless of what set of numbers you picked. If you picked last week's numbers, your probability of winning is still P.
The probability that two consecutive draws produce the same numbers you picked (so you're playing the same numbers for two draws) is PxP, which is spectacularly small. This is the number I think Erebus's source may have in mind.
However, the probability that two draws merely match each other is PxPxN because any combination of numbers that they match counts as matching. The calculation cares whether one draw has already occurred, but the result doesn't.
Where you run into a wrinkle is whether the draw process is actually fair. If you have balls in a spinning tub, then, I guess it's likely? Any difference in weights is likely to be minimal, but wear is likely to change them somewhat, and if you replace them, the probability of any given number coming up changes. Now, some states at one point used pseudo random number generators (out of a computer) which is a problem because they're predictable if you know enough about them (I don't have a link, but someone did go to jail for exactly that). You might program a PRND to make past results less likely, but it's still terrible for this purpose.

The Thompson is a cool machine no doubt but heavy as hell and not the most accurate I would guess.

With the un-trained, Muzzle Rise when shooting a Thompson is a definite hazard.
And it's easier to train someone OUT of that, with a straight fore-end, than a pistol grip.
The PRO might want the pistol grip. He's been there, done that.
But the muscles line up easier with the straight fore-end.
I've done the 100 rd. Mag Dump with a Thompson at 15 yards into a standard B-27 target.
"8" zone hits, all 100. Most in the "9". "Enough" in the Ten.
"X" hits? Four-ish.
Fallacy about 100 rd. dump. By time you're 15 rounds into the drum, you've either smoked the poor dumb sonofabitch, or you're MISSING with every shot fired.

Besides the certainty of eventually hitting the betting limit, you also have to take into account that number bets pay off at 36:1, not 37:1 as they should for an equitable game (there are actually 37 numbers on the wheel. Most people overlook the zero; this is by design).
The same holds true for red and black. That bet pays off based on a probability of 18/36 (1/2) , but the zero doesn't count as red or black, meaning that the actual probability of winning is only 18/37, with 19/37 against you.
As certainly as God makes po' folks, you will lose every penny of your money if you play roulette long enough.

Technically, if you word it that way, it's correct. If it has already happened, then you have a counterexample. If it hasn't happened yet, then the probability it will on the next draw is P times The Number of Previous Draws (which is 100 times the number of years that lottery has been around, which is still much smaller than N) which is still small.
Eventually there will be a repeat, as it can't go on longer than N draws without a repeat.

The Gambler's Fallacy and other such errors in thinking are of interest in psychology, regular and evolutionary.
It's an example that the human mind just ain't too hot at probabilities and risks. Our intuition fails. Nature did not select for our brains to be able to do these accurately.
There is sort of the reverse of the Gambler's Fallacy, which is under certain conditions, our gut tells us that something should repeat. "I'm on a roll, I've won 3 times, so I'm on a winning streak".
This is the equivalent of saying, well, I got heads 3 times in a row, so the next one has got to be heads as well.

The M-3 Grease gun does it slower and cheaper.
"Better", is an argument I'm not qualified to engage therewith.
But an upgraded, modernized M-3 would utterly trounce a modernized, cheapened Thompson.
Because a cheapened Thompson would then cease to BE, a Thompson.

Yep, the odds always favor the house. The games are designed this way. Interestingly, American gambling casinos usually have greater house favor than the European casinos. Roulette wheels are an example, IIRC.
Blackjack has the least house advantage, only 1% or something (but in practice, it can be higher because most players don't play it correctly. The play poorly and give the house even more advantage).
Card counting with a single deck could shift the odds in favor of the player considerably, which is why the casinos dislike it so much and have gone to the continuous shuffling machines and such.

It is no coincidence that the least intimidating games have the worst odds. Slots are the worst for sure with some exceptions. Then you have Roullete which shows you your odds such with the zero and double zero.
The best odds are properly played craps in certain situations, black jack with unerring basic strategy and bankroll management. I have heard that Baccarat has decent odds compared to many other games but you couldn't find a more intimidating game I would think.
The thing about poker is everyone overestimates their skill, underestimates the casino's rake, and the casino wins EVERY hand. Nice game there, they win all hands other than the ones that end before the rake.

Well, the thing is that that often actually works in the real world, because processes in the real world are often not stochastic at all.

The "Stinger" was a lightweight aircraft modified M-1919, which the Marines salvaged from downed aircraft, shortened the barrel and mounted on tripods or modified BAR bipods.
It came from the factory with that 1,200 rpm rate of fire. Because, air-to-air.
The Marines employed in ground combat to great effect.
But they didn't invent it. They scavenged it.
And that's the BEAUTY of the thing. What Marines, DO.
Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.
The Stinger is a testament to THAT, indeed.

I was just reading. The house advantage on slot machines is pretty high, 15%. "Vigorish" is slang for this advantage.
The expected value of all casino games is negative. You lose. House wins. A "fair game" has a 0 expected value. If one plays it over time, one breaks even on average.

Yeah, I had to explain the Martingale Fallacy to my dad, who thought he had invented it, and was making 10-20 bucks a night.
He was using the double bet plus one strategy -- make an initial 2 dollar bet, then 5, then 11, etc. So when you win your initial wager, you make $2. When you lose and go double +1, you eventually win .... $3.
Sooner or later, you run into a string of black/red or odd/even that will exceed the table limit to double plus 1. And now you've lost hundreds or thousands trying to make $2-3. They have infinite bankroll, you do not.

did that happen. I wonder what the scientific proof is of all of this. People still have to go out for food, work, and exercise. Are large groups in formal settings like basketball games and political speeches really that more dangerous than the local stop and shop? I wonder how much of this is based on real science.
If everyone get's delivery. Are delivery people going to be the most checked out people in the USA. And what about them, they have to go to people's homes.
Maybe there is science behind this, I sure as hell hope so. But if I were Trump, I would think long and hard about cancelling rally's. Hopefully this is short term.

And no small degree, of Love.

I hear ya. What I don't know is if someone with the virus can spread it to a large group simply by being in a large group. What concerns me is if they warp the political campaign for no good reason.
I get the common sense point. I would not be surprised if we shut down everything at this point. They could shut down schools and pretty much all public events. But it is hard to trust any predictions on when this will end. You will have the press doing their Summer of the Shark* stick and then you have the Trump administration and other serious actors. But who is to say when this ends?
*The Summer of the Shark has always been a pet peeve of mine. It was the Summer of 2000 and the press kept repeating stories of shark attacks. They got people so worked up that many chose to never go to the beach again. The hysteria ended when 9/11 happened and the media found something real to focus on.
The upshot is that they looked back at the numbers and that Summer of 2000 had fewer shark attacks than average. It was all about the media hyping something.
Now we see this every day and it has been ramped up to ten. But I will always remember the Summer of the Shark because it was so blatant. The media can get people riled up and choose the subject to get them riled up over.

Crowds also violate the std. that you need to be about 4-6 feet away to avoid aerosol transmission and apparently the droplets can stick around up to 30 minutes after a sneeze or cough and contaminate surfaces even longer.
If one of those infected works or visits a nursing home or works at a cardiac ward, then you end up with a couple of dozen people dead.
Unlike the flu, we do not have herd immunity, we do not have vaccinations, we do not have definite antivirals to treat it, and this has the potential as a result to overwhelm the medical system as it is apparently happening in Italy. It is damn serious and even a 1% death rate with only about 120 million getting it would be 1.2 MILLION deaths in a few months. From the petri dish cruise ship, the death rate is probably at least .7 percent or so which is about as bad as a bad flu season but the flu will affect fewer people because of vaccinations, herd resistance etc. This has the potential to affect a great deal more people and result in something like even 250 million infected in the US out of 330 million where the 1% death toll becomes 2.5 million dead.
People can live quite well not going to St. Patrick's day, not having a graduation this year, not going to the Final 4, and so on.
A lot of people may not see next year if we do not get control of this and the old methods of suppression until summer comes which typically ends flu and cold season is about all we have right now. Then we have to worry about a double dip next fall as happened in the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918-9
So, the whining, bitching, arguing that the risk is phony, and general whinging bout stuff that does not affect someone living and dying is the reflection of folks who values themselves and their wants over other people in the society they live in.
I would rather all those cancellations, bans, and economic reverses, simply result in no deaths etc. than the reverse where a failure to do something resulted in massive deaths. Money can be replaced, economies will recover, events will reoccur and be rescheduled, travel will open up again--people who die cannot really be replaced as unique individuals.
Peace out.

it is super crazy. I am not discounting the actual threat though I don't know the extent of the real threat. But the market gyrations are almost unheard of. It is dangerous to say these things, it is like Millennials who say we have never been so divided. But it is pretty weird that I expect the market to go up a though or down a though every day. And to be honest, it is more likely to go down than up on a given day. The numbers are relative but the percentages are not.
The sad thing is regular people will be hurt while Wall Street traders will likely end up making a killing. I am no class warrior, but people are going to be spooked. And there is no way for a normal to pick the bottom as we can't figure out how low it will go. If you have a ton of cash you can speculate and hold on. If you do not, well....
I am not making light on the situation. I still don't understand exactly what the situation is. I bet this is how a Millennial who is all in on Climate Change feels every day.
They say average down and always bet on America long term. But what about those who can't average down or too afraid to do so?
I think it is pretty clear that rightly or wrongly the Trump administration is going to be judged on this event. Whether it is a catastrophic pandemic or not, everyone believes that is the case now. Trump has to go hard and forget the advisors who call for caution. This is his time to do his thing. He didn't ask for this, it was thrust upon him. Now is the time to help people and show how feckless his opponents are.

Re large gatherings. And how large is large depends on other variables of the disease.
Large gatherings do increase the speed at which an epidemic can spread. If you're interested in the details, look at the various infectious disease modes to see the math.
Consider an infected person capable of transmitting the disease to others. The relevant factors are, how likely transmission is from contact, and how many people, on average the person has contact with.
In large gatherings, you greatly increase the latter factor.
So, in a large gathering, one infected person will likely infect more people than otherwise and increase the effective reproduction number.
How large is large depends on the several other factors. If the probability of transmission is very low, then the cutoff crowd size would be higher.

Well over 100,000 people have flown from Wuhan to the US, and then circulated in our population, before we knew about it.
Old, lung-sick people are affected, nobody else.
Ignore it? Of course not. But the last few days have gotten nuts. The press is anti-Trump and using the virus as a political weapon. They are pond scum.
But after 5 months, it ain't no Spanish flu. Or more people would be dead.
By playing everything too safe, and let the economy fall into the shitter, there's bigger problems than a few (relatively) people with short immune systems or bad lungs dying.

I am not down on her, or throwing cold water. But there is a a difference between a hot golfer and a hot LPGA Tour player. People used to discount Anna Kournikova because they thought she got too much press over her looks. But she was a real deal tennis pro on the ATP Tour. Spirinac is not that. But maybe she can make it, it is possible.
Again, i am not bashing her. She has made a a place for herself and has way outkicked the coverage. But just as an example. I would bet dollars to donuts that Tony Romo has played in more PGA Tour events (because of sponsor invitations) than she has played LPGA Tour events.
She is not being banned over a dress code. Her golf game is just not at the LPGA Tour level.
Again. I am not bashing here. THere are all types of online personalities and she is one of the big ones. She almost created this nice.

I was being nice. She is not LPGA Tour material. I have not read the the previous thread so I am flying blind here. She is a famous online personality and has sponsors. She would likely kick my butt at golf just to be clear. But She is not Nancy Lopez. She is not a golf champion. A lot of people think Michelle Wie is hot and Michelle has won more in a month than Paige will ever win in a serious tournament.
The thing about it is she created her one niche. I respect that. But don't expect her to be on the next broadcast of a major tourney. One caveat. The LPGA could offer exemptions as most sponsors of tourneys have a few. That is why types like Tony Romo get in PGA Tour events. They are there to attract a new crowd or pay off favors to golfers who could not get in otherwise. Paige might be being banned from that for some reason. But that would seem odd to me as the LPGA is not Wimbeldon circa 1990. They have lots of players who are good looking and wear some pretty skimpy stuff. They might have changed the rules recently but that is not their history.

Likely so. And this is WHY you don't do gubmint imposed price controls.
You want a consistent supply? Let the market decide. If n-95 masks were formerly going for 2$, and now they are $20, that's market forces at work. And as long as price remains up, people will get into the mask manufacture bizness.
Until one day, there will be a glut and no demand, and you can pick up a mask for 10 cents. Exactly what happened a few years back with .22 ammo.
But when the gubmint steps in, supply craters. See Venezuela for an example.
Shortly after Katrina, I relocated to north MS to wait out the storm. The R gubner imposed gas price controls. I paid roughly a buck per gallon more for a full tank, and was glad to get it to get home. I coulda reported the station, but didn't. Why?
Cuz I understood that the market was reacting. And that our gubner was a dumb fat fuck. Haley Barbour.

withdrawals it should be fully recovered.

for you yes, and that is a good thing. But these stock market 24 hour hucksters are the absolute worst. Look at Boeing. if you asked them a couple years ago, that stock would have been at the top of their buy and hold forever list. There is no more quintessential American manufacturing and engineering stock than Boeing. But look at today. Yes things change and Boeing made their mistakes. But it is amazing how fast things can change.
Is this an opportunity or will it get worse? I wish I knew. The one thing I think about is if you bet on America and lose it all, the stock market will likely be the least of your problems.
for example, if you buy gold and only gold goes up. Are you better off than others? maybe you are by a margin. But if the entire economy collapses and only gold has value, well, you don't want to live in that world.

Gold is not a very good investment to look for profit on. Gold is used by smart people as an inflation hedge. Long term the price of gold almost exactly mirrors the "real" inflation rate.
I remember an article in Guns and Ammo that used to subscribe to when they were taking about a particular rifle. They said in 1800s you could buy one for a $20 gold piece. And that was still true today, but that $20 gold piece was worth a LOT more. I blame FDR for that.

I remember a similar line. I think they said you could by a tailored mens suit for the price of x amount of gold and that has held true over the last hundred plus years.
OF course these things hold true right up until they don't. But for a gold bug, it is the only true currency. I am not gold bug. If they are right, everything we have created is bogus. The real currency is innovation and hard work but i am no economist.

Given that we're still (last I checked) under 1000 confirmed or presumed cases of KungFu Flu nationwide (and still well under 50 fatalities) shutting-down all travel to Europe for 30-days seems like an overreaction.
Then again, as the left/media/NeverTrumpers (BIRM) have been whipping everyone who will listen into Hair On Fire Panic(tm) this is precisely the sort of action that is, in fact, perfectly warranted. It is precisely how you stop the spread of a pandemic. That these same enemy-of-the-people motherfuckers are wailing and rending their garments over it shows how utterly and spectacularly unserious they, in fact, are.
And I strongly suspect Donnie TwoScoops and his surrogates are going to point that out every chance he gets.

You want hand sanitizer?
EverClear and aloe vera gel.
EverClear is slightly stronger than the highest isopropyl alcohol. 95% vs 90%.
EverClear also doesn't do bad things to an open wound like isopropyl alcohol does.
And you can drink EverClear without going blind.
Posted by: rickb223
Everclear also works as stove fuel in simple burners, not as good as HEET, but it's a multitasker.
Everclear and water = vodka
Everclear + raisin and fire = Viking trail snack
And, the little everclear bottles are TSA complaint

The travel restriction applies to foreign nationals who have been in 26 European countries with open borders agreements, in the last 14 days.
Those exempt from these restrictions, such as U.S. citizens, will be directed to limited airports where screening can take place.

that is interesting. Constellation Brands (STZ) which owns all right to Corona in the US dropped 10 percent yesterday. They are down 50 points over the last month.
They own more than Corona as they own some pot stocks and wine brands as well. Their main thing is Corona and Modelo. I owned that stock for years and it was a top performer util say 2015. The last few years have been not so good but Corona and Modelo keep rising in the USA.

An investment is something other than money by definition, that provides a return. Some thing, like a stock, or rental property. Harry Brown was a libertarian writer some years ago, dead now. His financial recommendation was 25 per cent each of Stocks, Bonds, Gold, and Real Estate, as I recall. One could probably easily do worse with professional management.

I liked Harry Brown, always looked forward to his articles. It was nice to be exposed to ideas and concepts that weren't so "tribalized" as it were, or "reality through the lens of political partisanship". And it was relatively benign in the 1990s. Today, not so much.

sorry, it didn't drop ten percent. It dropped ten points, which was a bit over six percent.

You can drink away your corona virus blues but not the virus. Does anyone know why there is no booze on sell over 95 percent? It is basically impossible to make a higher percentage without serous spending and scientists involved.
btw, some states have lower levels for Eveclear and the that type of rotgut. Check the labels as some only allow 140 proof at the max. That should be in the guidelines but still. What a waste of booze. I won't say good booze but it is no rubbing alcohol. In a pinch, go for it. It is certainly not good booze.
funny thing. Anyone can buy vanilla extract and bitters. These products are normally not considered fit for drinking but they are often over 50 percent alcohol. The idea is no one in their right mind would drink a shot of vanilla extract or bitters. But a shot of bitters is a real test. They think Fernet Branca is strong. Try a full shot of bitters.
