Wednesday's celebs: There was interesting split opinion among the morons over Alexandra Daddario due to her two very prominent and mesmerizing... eyes. They're right up on the line between 'smoldering' and 'creepy' and some chose the first while some chose the latter. I must say I did find (and reject) a number of photos where here eyes looked to be set so far back in their sockets that she did look like some sort of undead creature. And speaking of undead creatures, the guy pic is Alexandra's brother Matthew, whom I thought looks like an angsty vampire in those angsty vampire movies that teenaged girls seem to love so much and are all a-quiver over. But he's not. Other than being a regular in that Shadowhunters TV show, that's as close as he's ever gotten to the angsty vampire genre.

They both ended up there because of Farscape. They even parodied their former roles a couple of times.
Claudia Black first really great role was when she got eaten by the flying aliens in the original "Pitch Black".

I wonder what he's being told by the task force. I wonder if he's asking questions. Pretty clear there's no "science" or rational strategy now - it's just coasting (disastrously).
There is no explanation for why what is known about viral outbreaks, and now this one, is not being applied to the situation. Not winning.

headed off the work at about 7:10am and he came on so I caught it in my truck. While it sounded like she was asking tough questions all the answers were the same but worded slightly differently. "I did not do it period".
No matter what she asked it ended with that. That wasn't an interview. It was a chance for Joe to deny everything with no push back.

Alright, so it's been a harrowing couple weeks, but Vanessa's emergency shunt replacement is finished, and appears to have been a success. She is sleeping peacefully behind me. The neurosurgeons just did their next-day followup and are happy with their work.
Downside is, the infectious disease doctor put the kibosh on their plans to have her out of here tomorrow, because they want to be 110% sure the infection that was responsible for the failure of the original shunt doesn't return. Depending on the regimen they settle on, it could be as late as next Wednesday
.
Silver lining: She's going to be too big for the Cadillac bassinet soon, so I got her a pimp-ass new yuuuge, luxurious crib the other day before the procedure for when she returns, and that'll give me time to rig it out with heat and a new bluetooth speaker for her music, and make it extra comfy... Maybe I can find some kind of vibrating pad for it, too. Don't know if that exists.

I was looking at the number of cases in CT where we used to live. 1/10th the population of Texas but they have the same number of cases we have and they have three times the number of deaths we have.
We have denser urban areas than CT does so that's not what is making their numbers go up higher than us. Granted they have a lot of people who live in CT and work in NYC so that may account for some of the disparity, but not three times the death rate with one tenth the population of Texas.
Got to be something else and I suspect it's temperature/weather related.

checks in place?

What I found depressing is GOP governors who are doing the shutdown crap. Wyoming didn't go full on lockdown I guess but they are keeping bars and cafes closed to May 15 after the initial 'till May 1' order and they are still limiting gatherings to no more than 10 people in a state where the largest city is less than 100K. Yes that means WY doesn't have a lot of hospital beds either but it is sad.

We have denser urban areas than CT does so that's not what is making their numbers go up higher than us. Granted they have a lot of people who live in CT and work in NYC so that may account for some of the disparity, but not three times the death rate with one tenth the population of Texas.

to NJ, to CT, to MA
probably to PA too, we have a lot of those types of facilities here
there's a VA hospital I didn't even know about in Spring City with a bunch of NYC COVID patients that were transferred in. that's going to hit MontCo numbers (which it shouldn't, but it will). probably these people will be double counted

Posted by: OregonMuse, AoSHQ Thought Leader, Pants Monitor & Social Distancing Professional at May 01, 2020 11:32 AM (NWFZA)
Grammie , it depends on what the legislative history is. Right now in Michigan, there are three different emergency powers bills that were passed over the past 75 years and no one knows for certain if the last one passed in the 70s takes precedence. Typical stupid legislators don't bother repealing old statutes when they pass new ones. So now if this goes to court, a court is going to have to decide which emergency powers act is enforceable.
Whitmer has closed the entire fricking state again for another 28 days. All restaurants, barber shops, bars, small businesses, etc. I don't know if construction crews can work on private projects. It's insane, 85% of the deaths and cases are in Detroit, yet everyone in the entire state is ordered to stay home. Businesses won't open because they don't know if the legislature is right or Whitmer will be upheld and their business will be fined and license pulled.

Here's an idea. You could select all flattering photos, with one exception for a bad picture, so as to establish the range. This would allow us to mock them, thus feeling better about our own looks. You know, for those of you who need that. I wouldn't know.

This morning an acquaintance of mine stated on Facebook that the reason Pence didn't wear a mask at Mayo was because he and Trump have received the Covid 19 vaccine and are invested in the company that is going to produce the vaccine, making millions.
There's no reasoning with people like that. They are religious zealots in their beliefs , which they adopt with no actual thinking.

My personal estimation is that women, outside of those who are part of the horde, of course, are far more heavily influenced by "social opinion", and are raised to be terrified of truly "independent" thought. They have spent their entire lives believing that of course, one has to think what all of your neighbors and the dominant members of your peer group thinks.
In defense of this view, men tend to be complete assholes far more than women do. Part of being a complete asshole is not giving a fuck what anyone around you thinks.

I think that plays heavily into it as well as the emotional side. Plus, 'stay at home and be safe' seems hard-wired into women, possibly because they are surrounded by a world largely more dangerous and stronger than they are. And endless netflix and TV shows about women disappearing and being murdered horribly.

++++++Both of my sisters live in CT and feel the same way. I ive in MA and everyone I come in contact with also feels that way. Number of deaths here is very high but half are in assisted living of some kind. That a lot of the younger people dying is because they are also in assisted living of some kind because of disability or medical condition.
At this rate we are never going to get out of lockdown. But I feel for those of you who are in states with far fewer cases and deaths. I just don't understand why they are waiting to open? They are facing financial ruin and yet they persist.

I almost wonder if Firefly was being made today, would it be on Netflix or Amazon, and have a chance to thrive?
I suspect Joss Weedon is enough of an egomaniac he would think it beneath him to not be on network teevee though. Even though more than one of his shows flamed out for not being enough of a hit early enough.
Dollhouse is, in my opinion, possibly the most interesting thing he ever created. I'm not sure it was better than anything else, but it was going places that were fascinating. Then when it came to an end, I assume they tacked on an ending that was sorta ok.

The world online is that live entertainment as we know it is NOT coming back this year, if ever. The odds re that there will be NO concert touring this year, and no music festivals. Just artists in their house, playing guitars.

Annabelle Wallis (Grace on Peaky Blinders) is a third example. She had a nose job for an admittedly outsize nose, and while it made her look "prettier", it also made her much less distinctive. I think it was a mistake.

Went to the store where I could not get in due to royal decree from our mayor without a mask. Chicken 6-8 packages. Bacon none. Some hot dogs. Steaks and red meat very little. About a 40% stocked cheese aisle.
NO dried pasta, no bulk rice, no bulk beans. Still no toilet paper or paper towels.
The frozen area was about 20% stocked. The dairy aisle had 20% milk, lots of non dairy creamer, 15% of the normal amount of butter.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THERE ARE MAJOR DISRUPTIONS IN THE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN. My gut tells me so and it has a near perfect record.
The demo-commies are going for the brass ring now. The truly frightening thing is the people. They do not see that this is what the demo-commies want, a socialist America with grocery stores 40% of what they were.

I have several of those 8' lights that hang on small clips. They can be pulled down and set in the yard. Any tradesman that has to work in my attic is blown away by the shadowless lights up there.
And my man cave out in the yard is lit af so I can see every detail of my lead sled as it comes slowly back to life.
$22 for an 8' light is a good deal.

Sure, but is it not possible he's actually trying to cause something to change?
Maybe it's a futile cause, and maybe it's mostly self-serving, but I think Musk gets a bad rap from people at times when it doesn't really make sense to me.
I think the biggest complaint one could make is that he's not shy about taking tax dollars to fund his stuff.

The world online is that live entertainment as we know it is NOT coming back this year, if ever. The odds re that there will be NO concert touring this year, and no music festivals. Just artists in their house, playing guitars.
My guess is that is the same for all major sporting events.

Really? Judging by the recent photos of her, I would have guessed more like 60.
If she dropped about 50 pounds and had some procedures to tighten up the skin on her face and neck, she could still look pretty good though.

But as I noted way up, the WH is part of this whether they like it or not. Giving states/governors discretion while continuing to lead on general policy is an option. That's what happened on the way in to this.
What's the "science" - in this case, even a reasonable educated guess and prudent strategy based on what we know about viral epidemics in general, and, now, this one in particular, that lies behind the "phased" re-opening? It does not add up.
"Slowing the spread" related to medical capacity. That's past - and fortunately was a nothingburger compared to even mid-range projections.
Actually taking into account actual science and common sense about viral epidemics, *what*, exactly are we doing now? The metrics of the "phased" approach don't appear to relate to any rational goal - slowing the spread of a virus that will not overwhelm medical capacity makes no sense.

Yeah, Walmart, strangely, seems less well stocked than WinCo for some things we buy, but all in all, there's currently no shortage of meats. And I remember back to week 2 when the panic crowd cleaned out ALL the fresh meat coolers at WinCo, but were too stupid to wander over to the frozen food section where there was still plenty of chicken, beef and so forth.

I do have the series on the NAS though. I will have to start watching it again.

To give credit where it's due, The Creature Shop did some fantastic work there... but also some not-so-fantastic. I have a special fondness for Sparky, aka Rygel.
Word is, new episodes are being shopped, and Amazon is interested. The response when Farscape went up on Prime recently was several multipliers more than what they anticipated, and the producers (O'Bannon and Manning) have been talking to them. The original cast is all in, with the sad exception of Jonathan Hardy, who voiced Rygel, who died several years ago.
We shall see!
