Dress Pr0n For the 'Ettes:
This week's #FridayFrills is this 1945 Norman Hartnell evening dress for Queen Elizabeth. It has some of the emblems of the UK (rose, daffodil, shamrocks, and thistles) embroidered in its lace. #FashionHistory pic.twitter.com/yN357RMvJO

Gold embroidery and sequins smother this glittering Mainbocher satin 1938 evening dress, the sequins almost look like reflective mirrors. The swirling line pattern takes influence from Japanese design, yet the cut of the dress follows 1930s styles. @V_and_A pic.twitter.com/LtIg6d1Llj

It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and paste it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week.

The U.S. economy needs an even more stringent shutdown than the last
time if its going to defeat the coronavirus, Minneapolis Federal Reserve
President Neel Kashkari said.
In a Friday New York Times op-ed he authored with Michael T.
Osterholm, a professor and director of the Center for Infectious Disease
Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, Kashkari argues
that the government should issue a shelter-in-place order for everyone
but the truly essential workers for up to six weeks.
In spite of the massive damage the first lock downs did to the economy it's come back stronger than the left thought which is why they are freaking out and by magic the Flu Manchu numbers are spiking again and the left is screaming for more lock downs. It's all to have us in as a bad a shape economically as they can come November.

2) Eviction protection extended.
3) Student loan payment and interest deferral extended.
4) $400/week in extra unemployment benefits (down from the previous $600).
No "bread and circuses" gummint checks for everybody. He may not have the funding available to do that.

Osterholm's among the many "experts" who's been getting kicked around, often by "amateurs", for months now. Completely clueless.
But recall, the overall false framework governing all this and the bedrock for the destructive "interventions" still causing lots of damage - that this virus is super deadly and also can be controlled - remains that of the WH, courtesy of the "task force". Despite all previous history and actual science, and all experience since Feb.
And that framework - and apparently the Third World-style "state of emergency" rationalized by it, dramatic expansion of the welfare state, harsh curtailment of liberty, and de facto willy nilly destruction of private property and wealth - is firmly in place and the virus will disappear/go background-endemic and it will *still* be in place.

I don't know the occasion of Kate's photo. I have noticed that Melania makes a serious effort to not outshine her guest.
That's a pretty hard rule for someone as gorgeous and professional as she.
The dress looks bland. It's okay because she carries it with such grace.
I suspect she and the first lady from Malawi had a good, friendly talk.

On my payslip, where does the payroll tax appear? The "Social Security" line?
There was a story the other day stating that the rate is 7.5%, and the other 7.5% is paid by your employer. So I'd see 15% more on that SS line?

I may well be wrong on this, but I think it's only on the employee-paid portion, so you're still on the hook for the employer portion of FICA.
Someone correct me if that's not the case.

Country doesn't need to be "held together", it's not coming apart, and if you believe Fox News polls about Trump's prospects, then I have "2M lives saved!" to see you, along with a bridge.
And discredited obscure bureaucrats now have a "grip" on the nation? How's that? I thought we had some kind of executive structure with somebody in charge.

In a press release Thursday, NASA said that all planets and heavenly bodies will be referred only to by their scientific names, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Under the new rules, the "Eskimo Nebula," discovered in 1787 by William Hershel, will only be referred to as NGC 2392.
The so-called "Siamese Twins Galaxy" will likewise be known only as NGC 4567 and NGC 4568.
"As the scientific community works to identify and address systemic discrimination and inequality in all aspects of the field, it has become clear that certain cosmic nicknames are not only insensitive but can be actively harmful," the agency said in a news release.

a suspension of payroll taxes would halt money being taken out of worker's paychecks to pay for government programs like Social Security and Medicare. ... In theory, this means that employers and employees would benefit from a payroll tax cut since both would enjoy similar savings.

Stuff from toilet paper to lumber to instant noodles is obviously on back order. I'd love to see what the back log of various businesses are.

Comorbidity info is sometimes reported at the county level, but not always (but when it is, I've never seen it less than the mid-90% level, i.e., around 5-6% of "C19 only" deaths.
As predicted and predictable, hospitalization #s falling off a cliff in the seasonally-second "hot" states (FL CA TX AZ), which means deaths will follow soon.

lot of folks that are opposed to masks will wear them out of politness.
They want others to feel comfortable, even if they think the masks are
useless.
Our county fathers want everyone to wear one voluntarily. Otherwise, you'll get charged with a misdemeanor for not wearing one.
I really with they'd make up their minds. Officials who contradict themselves should be beaten with a tire iron.

So I went last Saturday to our smallmart, sans face covering, no problems. Today, went again. This time, the commissar at the door mentioned that there is a mask requirement, but took no steps to enforce it. Sadly, only saw two other face-rebels in the store.
Most conservatives hate drama, and the thought of a verbal confrontation with a karen, that might get physical, is upsetting. I get it, but they will vote right.

I understand about people not wanting to infect their loved ones-but I'll compare it to this scenario. Somebody in my congregation has heart issues, She is in her mid 80's. She's supposed to have a knee replacement because its bone on bone right now an she's in terrible pain, and the doctor said, "Well, you may die on the table-which is a risk with a lot of surgeries, but if it works out you should be just walk with a cane and not a walker." She appreciated his honesty. I said "Well, if you did die, you'd be very much missed because we love you, but you believe in the Lord, and know that he said, "I go to prepare a place for you."
She agreed. Some people in my congregation who have had several near death experiences have said they're not afraid of death, so I don't really understand people of religious faith who are so very petrified for themselves.

I gave it a good sear in a skillet, then I used a little bit of New Belgium Lime Lager to deglaze the pan and toss that into the Instant Pot with the brisket, a pack of frozen green peppers and onions, and a pack of frozen red potatoes with onions. I then added the rest of that bottle of beer and turned it on for an hour (20-25 minutes per pound is recommended, and that brisket is somewhere between 2.5 and 3 pounds).

We damn near got in a shooting war over them. Ended up selling out and moving. Before we did, though, the neighbor's Dad's cow got out and was mooing under our bedroom window at 2 in the morning. Wife calls the guy and tells him to come and get his @%©®ing cow out of our yard. He ignores our request. Wife calls him again and tells him if that cow ain't out of my yard in 15 minutes, I'm gonna start filling my freezer. Dude was over in 5.

The least discussed aspect of the Left's jihad against our civilization is its war on the human spirit. This is why masks are so important. They are a marvelously simple, efficient and easily propagated method of de-individualization. To walk through a grocery store or any public place today is to occupy the mindspace of a dystopian tale, where the sparks of diverse humanity animating a unique genius loci have been slyly snuffed.

had to laugh at a Biden commercial I saw a couple times today. He was
talking about restoring the economy and bringing back American jobs!
Um, did he forget he's been in Washington for 40 years and was
instrumental all those decades in selling the American worker out?
Naaaah, he probably doesn't know.
In his lucid moments he knows. But he's a plagiarist and cynical pandering bastard so he doesn't care.

Feel fee to ignore my opinion -- I think I can handle seeing one more Kate Middleton pic every week, after the 10,000 Kate Middleton pix every day in the British tabloids. 10,000, 10,001 -- what's the difference?
It's sort of the same way I feel about the Supremes' "Stop in the Name of Love" and the Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get no Satisfaction." If I had heard either song for the first time ever, I'd say, "Hey, pretty good song!" But the local oldies station when I was growing up play those two songs about 15 times a day every day, and everywhere I went that oldies station was playing on some radio or other. By the time I was 12, I had heard those songs so many times that it became like the torture scene in The manchurian Candidate where they ply Benny Goodman over and over and over until the guy breaks, and confesses. Not that song again! Agghh!

I don't like how this is going. Way back in February when everything was unsettled and shifting, I could see how some people might believe that donning a mask was some sort of preventative measure. And I did not foresee this farce going on until the Nov. election. But here we are. The Dims have finally found the winning hand to disrupt and obstruct the votes.

The Gompertz function has a long tail and this one almost certainly does too, so there are probably "artifacts" and "shopcraft" in many of the numbers (factors in the reporting or definitions that affect the result), even the welcome ones. So the decline in reality is probably shallower than some numbers may imply.
And the 20% herd immunity number keeps being implied everywhere seroprevalence data is collected.

Other than Sams and Walmart I only go to businesses that don't require you to wear a mask.
I buy my ammo from the pawn shop instead of Academy sports or Cabelas even though it a bit more expensive because they don't require you to wear a mask.
I don't go to a restaurant that makes you wear a mask to go in the door but lets you take them off the second you sit at a table. They did that at my favorite Chinese buffet and we have not been back and I used to go there 3-4 times a month.
It's all about choices.

At least 10 small mom and pop businesses in this area have received findings of $7-$10,000 by the state Nazis because of unmasked people inside.
If I go to a local store and they asked me to wear a mask I do so. I have known some of these people for years. I am not going to risk my political statement of discord and scorn for the fake mask diktats causing him to get a $10,000 fine.
This is not an urban area and there are not a lot of alternatives. I would rather give my friends the business and wear a mask and not put them at risk.

that, or soon after the "mistake" was made they decided to use it to
their advantage ans screw the rest of the world expecially the USA
As evidenced by the fact that we've been forced to do all sorts of nonsensical things we've never done in a epidemic before.
Either scenario is perfectly plausible.

This prompted her to accost her again at a higher volume to which he replied smilingly,, "Yes; It des look like rain doesn't it?"
"Bless the man. He's obviously as deaf as a post" the woman said. "There's no use storming at him." She never accosted him again, and he never told her what he had done.

That magazine really used to do it for me, but, ugh. Today's celebrities... It's really hard for me to masturbate to them.
I'll still do it, but it's hard, man. Knowing that they actually really hate me, and stuff...
I've actually grown to prefer fictional girls in video games and stuff like that.

I have the same problem with SeaMonkey -- both are forks of Mozilla -- SeaMonkey hangs retrieving from Twitter -- Ace must have some Twitter content on the main page.

I don't see a sure win for white.
Consider these moves by black:
1. Rxb7 Bxc6
2. Pxc6 Qd7
3. Pxd7 Kxb7
Possibly continuing...
4. Qd5+ c6
5. Qxf7 Pxf3
6. Qxf3 Nxf2
7. Qxf2. Rxd7
... and you are facing a hard fought end game where black has a one point advantage.
