Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. Vaclav Havel
Quote II
Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people. Arthur Schopenhauer
Quote III
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. Saint Augustine
Quote IV
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.' C. S. Lewis
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry officially stopped being senior members of the British royal family on Wednesday months after they announced their decision to step away and move to North America. Now, Meghan is reportedly planning to make her return to acting, but she’s determined to only do so on her terms. An inside source told Daily Mail that Meghan, 38, only wants to work with A-list directors in the hopes that she will secure a breakout role that will finally get her taken seriously as an actress. She is reportedly worried that critics will be especially hard on her, so she wants to make sure that only the best of the best directors are attached to her projects. The source said that Meghan has “been telling her agents that she wants Ava DuVernay involved, and that they need to find the right script.” While Meghan has already been flooded with offers, the insider said that “she thinks the majority of them are cheesy and beneath her.”
Here is the Horde's opportunity to cast Meghan and create the movie titles she could/should star in.
Good attorneys always know the answer to their questions. But what about stunts?
This Lawyer Fell Out A Skyscraper Window To His Death While Trying To Prove It Was Unbreakable On July 9, 1993, Toronto lawyer Garry Hoy was doing his favorite party trick: hurling himself at his office's windows to show their strength. But this time, his stunt failed.
Chances are, your home internet is under a lot more strain than normal at the moment: With schools and workplaces temporarily closing all across the globe, you might well be fighting with your family or your housemates for any available bandwidth. If you want to limit buffering and maximize speeds, we’ve got a few tips to consider. The basics
First of all, there are all the internet optimization tips that apply no matter how many devices you’ve got connected—we’ve covered these in detail in the past. To summarize, get your router hub somewhere central, and consider wiring up certain demanding devices (like consoles and streaming boxes) if possible, with Ethernet cable.

This one was just too hilarious to ignore, although I’m guessing she doesn’t think so, My bf (21M) really wants to live in a van after graduation and I (19F) dont know how to tell him that I’m not sure if I want to. Ive been dating my bf for over a year now, and we get along really well. However, these past few weeks my bf has gotten really into the idea of buying a van, remodeling and traveling the world when we graduate in two years. All he does now is watch van life videos, car repair videos, and other travel vlogs in way of preparation. He has the make a model of the camper van he’s going to buy all planned out, as well has the company he plans on hiring to refurbish it. He’s also starting to passively aggressively judge me for not prepping for the van life with him, saying that he shouldn’t be the only one planning all of this. The thing is, I never explicitly told him that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him in a van. Im guessing he assumed so because we have been camping several times in the past and both really enjoyed it. I might have expressed support for his desires to be a nomad in the past, but never any direct affirmation.
A RANDY couple were caught on camera "having sex" in a London park by a passing jogger during the coronavirus lockdown. The female runner was out jogging as temperatures soared on Saturday when she spotted two people lying in long grass in South Norwood Country Park, Croydon. She stopped and filmed 13 seconds of the encounter - and said she was furious with the "disgusting" couple. "At 2pm, during my afternoon jog, I spotted two morons having sex by the woodlands in South Norwood Country Park," she said. "It was in plain sight and children were around. "So much for staying home and saving lives. "Disgusting."

Meghan Markle's best script would be the one about the rancid bitch that swooned a mentally weak guy and got him to willingly give up his life of being a Prince for Life, because blowjobs. Really good blow jobs, combining with the mixed-race sex fantasy.
She would be a natural.

Meghan's gonna be lucky to end up starring in her own Hallmark Channel movie franchise.

I was joking when I said Hallmark Channel movie franchise upthread, but I just looked at her wiki page, and I'll be damned, but her last two movies in 2014 and 2016 were Hallmark Channel originals, and the movie posters are as cringe as you'd expect.
Hollywood won't even give her something splashy. There's not enough long term financial upside to making her happy. She's a B-list royal, and barely C-list as far as celebrity actresses are concerned.
Disney cartoon movie voiceover work might be her best chance, but she might not be talented enough. They gave her a documentary voiceover, but that seems like that very least they coulda given.

9/11 directly affected it's immediate victims, their families, emergency personnel and then later, recovery and construction folks, and ultimately, the .mil and their families.
For most of the rest of the nation, it was something they watched on TV.
At worst, they lined the streets with flags to show respect for a fallen soldier, coming home for that one last time.
*THIS*, has directly affected every Man, Woman and Child in the United States of America.
The "front lines" are directly outside the front door of everyone. And for those so unfortunate as to been hit by the bug, well, it's on the inside of those doors, too.
In the end, there's going to be an awful lot of people who know someone who either got sick or died from this thing.
I think the memory of this will "stick" much more than 9/11.
And if Trump can maintain the pace on the Press Briefings, then three major messages will have been successfully conveyed to the American People.
1. The Press is Assshoe!
2. China is Asshoe!
3. Democrat Party is Asshoe!
We're fortunate here, in that the press is doing EVERY POSSIBLE THING to drive Point #1 home.

That's interesting because Alice Cooper once had an accident during the rehearsal of his fake hanging. There was a wire alongside the rope noose, that prevented the noose from strangling him. It was a bit shorter, so that when he dropped the noose wouldn't actually strangle him. Well, they had used the same wire so many times that it had weakened, and during a rehearsal it snapped.

So after a month of watching Zappa videos, instead of a wide variety of old rock, English rock, old blues, and some traditional country music, YouTube has nothing but Zappa videos cued up for me now.
21 videos, I counted.
Oh, there is a Lou Reed in the middle, guessing it was because I linked it in a comment last week, a single Keith Moon video (have no idea why), and a single Bob Dylan video (that I listened to about a week ago).
So only 18 out the 21. Guess I over reacted. Never mind.

The difference being Wisconsin's elections weren't just primaries, but a whole bunch of state offices, including the supreme court, so it's a little more fundamental in terms of law.
There's nothing stopping the legislature from giving the governor authority to move things around in case of emergency, but they gotta codify that into law first.

Re Bojo, Daily Mail says his condition was much worse than initially reported (no surprise there).
He was holed up in isolation at #10 and using video conferencing. They said a doctor took one look at his image on the screen, and told him to get his ass to the hospital right now, sparky.

5 polling locations in Milwaukee, which normally has 180, for more than 300,000 registered voters. NOT EQUAL! Wisconsin Republicans are endangering our lives to suppress votes. And it's incredibly obvious!
Uh, isn't the provision of sufficient polling places Milwaukee County's responsibility?
Whenever you hear a sob story of voters having to wait hours to vote, they never mention that this invariably happens in counties controlled by Democrats, who are responsible for managing elections in the county.

She finds out that being a royal, especially a British royal is nothing like being an A-lister. There are perks, but also tremendous responsibilities and work that is required.
That ain't what she signed up for, so she bails.

That ass is just something else. I figured butt implants and maybe a rib removed or something (they do this), but they say that's real, on the far tails (heh, heh) of the female shape distribution.

I think the miniseries, "The Peacekeeper Wars", which was the conclusion to Farscape, was actually quite better than a lot of the Farscape episodes themselves - I thought this was one where they did a really nice job of wrapping up the entire series. The homage to 2001 featuring "Harvey" (the implant in Chrichton's head, itself an homage to the Jimmy Stewart movie) was extremely well done. Very enjoyable for any fan of the Kubrick original.

Here's the problem with the demand for diversity in the movies and Meaghan's demands. I like going to movies at the theater. I like the whole experience, including popcorn and pop. Between the ticket prices and the concessions, it ain't cheap. You have to really want to see a movie to go to the theater. I just can't see many people putting down that kind of money for an actress who only got the job because she married a member of the royal family.

Just looked it up, they've stopped all aircraft production. People were telling me I was crazy 2 weeks ago when I was saying that Boeing was going to have to shut down production for 1 - 2 years because of this. I have no doubt the Government will give them handouts to keep them going, but there's not going to be anything for the workers to do except some refurbishments or maintenance.
Airbus is shutting down production, also. In the new normal, the aircraft market has several years inventory sitting on the ground, unused. And in a cheap oil world, the new fuel saving models are no longer as economic as the older ones, refurbished.

The banjo boy was indeed normal, smart even. He was just cursed (or blessed) with a face that looked like an inbred genetic train wreck.

IIRC, he couldn't pick a banjo for shit, and in some of those scenes that had a real picker just reaching around and playing the banjo, or attempting to.
The problem is if you don't know how to play, if you fake playing, it looks stupid on camera, so they always want someone who knows how to play to do it, even if they're gonna dub the actual audio.

Within a month of the grounding, there was a very good analysis by an aeronautical engineer that was online, quite long and detailed. Short version was that he thought that by making the engines larger and moving them forward without re-engineering the airframe (long story why they did that), that they made the MAX inherently unstable, and they used the software, which could override the pilot dozens of times per second, to counter the built in instability.
He felt that yes, it was the software that caused the crashes about once every hundred flights, but that *without* the software, the MAX probably couldn't stay in the air 30 minutes without crashing.
It's a death trap. And if it could have been fixed, it would have been fixed by now.

Posted by: 18-1 at April 06, 2020 11:38 PM (WdocV)
----------
Sort of.
The problem with the 737MAX is that the engines are far too large and powerful for an airframe that debuted in 1966.
The performance profile of the 737 has expanded continuously beyond the short-range, low-capacity mission of the original design. Economics dictated that rather than coming up with a new airframe more suited to the mission, the 737 would be pushed beyond its limits. The MCAS system was required to make it all work.
And the MCAS system was completely bungled, with an unfortunate tendency to fly a perfectly fine aircraft into the ground.

But the focus was always on something "good enough to do the job" that we could also massively manufacture.

The 737 Max is dynamically unstable, which is fine for a fighter, not so good for a passenger plane.
The software was written to correct for the dynamic instability.

Cary Grant. On anyone else, the contrived Mid-Atlantic (or trans-Atlantic) accent, which was taught in all the posh upper class school on the East Coast back in the day, sounds pompous and upper class twit like.
Save for Cary Grant. On him, that's just the way Cary Grant talks. And it's cool.

Stuck in Laredo overnight. Get home tomorrow. The moment I walk thru the door I will immediately begin drinking. I intend the drinking to continue through the day.
Speaking of Laredo...
So I stop at the Flying J to grab some shitty truck stop food. Kind of forgot about the ordinance requiring face covering which was issued while I was already on the road. Apparently prohibited from entering the store.
Well shit.
And how the fuck am I supposed to resolve this? Not like they sell masks at truck stops. Can't fucking drive to a pharmacy in a big rig. So I can't grab a bite or take a piss because I don't have a flimsy piece of fabric that doesn't do shit?

Except I am talking bombers, not fighters. They can still get modern fighter escorts. And I would add modern defensive armaments, avionics, and nav, of course. This bomber fleet would mostly stay on the ground until air superiority was achieved, and then go in and lay waste to the enemy.

Reminds me, reading (dragging myself through a very odd book on the eastern front) - Death Ride. Author clearly is pretty well read on the topic, but just chock full of hobby horses of varying silliness.
My favorite, what I think I see emerging as one of his major themes, is that the Soviets didn't *really* win. At the moment, he's dismissing the way the Battle of Moscow turned out because the German casualty figures were not high.
Now I can't stop, because I want to see how he handles the Soviets bumbling into Berlin in '45. I'm sure the Red Army missed a spot up there in the corner or something.
Only short statement that comes to mind is - "Dude, scoreboard. Scoreboard".

P-38 pilots didn't. One of my dad's old friends got started as a pilot in early 1942. (he ended up flying a P-47 in Europe) His qualifications were that he was 19, and said he wanted to fly, that was it. They sent him to a training base in the midwest on some old planes the army had (biplanes, I think), gave them a few hours of class room training and said, have at it. He said in those early days, trainees either had a feel for it and picked it up, or they crashed. 1942, about half of the new pilots didn't survive the first two weeks of training, but those that did went on to be pretty good.
also, training for a new plane that came out in those years was basically, there it is, why don't you take it up for a bit and see how it feels? You'll figure it out.

Hoy had performed the stunt to audiences countless times before. As well as demonstrating the strength of the windows, it was clear that he enjoyed showing off a bit.
The first time Hoy body-slammed the window that day, he bounced off as he had every other time. But then he threw himself at the window a second time. What occurred next happened all too quickly and no doubt left everyone in the room utterly horrified.
Instead of bouncing off the window as he had the first time, Hoy went straight through, plunging 24 stories down toward the building courtyard below. The fall killed him instantly.
The glass didn't shatter immediately, but rather popped out of its frame. It quickly became clear to police who arrived on the scene that Hoy's death was the result of a tragic freak accident.

If a dog has a sensitive throat, collar only is not advised, same if head configuration is such the a collar can permit wiggling out by backing away from the leash holder.
A harness permits more effective positive control without either of those problems, which may be critical in an emergency situation.
A well trained dog can do either collar or harness safely, if the master is also well trained!

Posted by: Tonypete at April 07, 2020 12:22 AM (Y4EXg)
* There's nothing inherently wrong with a dynamically unstable airframe, just so long as the computer systems are up to the job of flying the plane SAFELY. There are more up there flying than just the MAX, but they're not crashing, so you don't hear about them.
* Boeing went cheap as to the above, and the "base level" MCAS system was a SINGLE CHANNEL input from ONE external attitude detector vane.
* You wanted a 2nd external attitude detector vane and corresponding use of the 2nd channel in the MCAS computer, you had to buy the "Safety Package" as an upgrade.
* Boeing's "in the works" refit of the MCAS now features a Four Channel (and four vanes) MCAS system, as standard.
* Boeing "hedged" the selling of the MAX as Aircrew Interchangeable with the earlier 737-800/900, by NOT requiring simulator time and teaching MCAS In Flight Failure Drills, which would have PUNCTUATED the entirely different weight and balance aspects of the airframe.
* The correct procedure for MCAS In Flight Failure, was to turn the MCAS system OFF, turn the Auto Pilot OFF, and hand-fly the airplane to the first diversionary airport. Test flights showed this could be done, but only by hand-flying.
* The 2nd crash showed the pilots DID turn off the MCAS system, but then TURNED IT BACK ON, (it is thought that they presumed it "reset") and it pitched the MAX down to the crash.
* Proper simulator time to train the Pilots how to manage the DIFFERENT Center of Gravity and related flight envelope was not required by Boeing, before putting otherwise qualified pilots into the MAX cockpit.
* U.S. based MAX flight operators were already screaming bloody murder about these things, BEFORE the two overseas operator flown crashes.
Short version.
Upgraded MAX *will* feature 4 channel, redundant MCAS inputs and computer to "check" each channel against the others. A wildly differing reading will be disregarded by the computer, and warning lights and horns will be triggered.
Pilot training will require THOROUGH simulator time, and FAA Flight Examiner sign-off.
Pilots will require an additional 737-MAX "Type-Rating" to attach with their Pilot's License.
The physical upgrades to the MAX are maybe 4 to 5 million per airframe.
Training upgrades will likely run $100k +, per pilot.
Lawsuit settlements will involve sums heretofore unimaginable in the aviation world.
I would not care to have been a Boeing Shareholder, BEFORE the Chy nah virus. And especially, not now.

One of the common first symptoms is stuffy noses, so they test if you can smell vinegar
'We are now performing random smell tests at the entrance gates of
Camps Walker, Carroll and Henry to help better detect personnel who may
be infected by COVID-19,' the garrison said Friday on its Facebook page,
using the virus' official name. 'Those personnel who cannot detect the
screen will be further screened.'
Officials said Sunday the test began on an experimental basis at Camp
Walker this weekend and would likely be expanded to the other bases in
coming days.
Medical organizations have pointed to mounting evidence that anosmia,
the loss of smell or taste, may be an early indicator of the highly
contagious virus, although it has so far been largely anecdotal.

Not a few of the higher-end bizjets up there are dynamically unstable, (or right on the ragged edge of it), and the computer exists between the pilot and control surfaces, just like an F-16.
Done correctly, it can provide for a wider range of CG changes, approach and landing speeds and smoothness in turbulence at altitude.
All the cool kids are doing it now.

It was Galileo. He actually rolled his objects down ramps because of air resistance. Rolling them down ramps slowed them down so differential effects of air resistance were negligible. I always got caught up in physics problems that said "ignore air resistance" because I couldn't imagine how?

That was easy for me. Assume a vacuum. Air resistance is hard to calculate. And is a function of a square of the speed, IIRC.

Wonderful question. It's why he used a hammer as the heavy object. They hammer had to go anyway, for busting rocks for the geological experiments. The feather was the only thing additional needed. It was a falcon feather, because they had named their LM "Falcon".

In the general case, it's a polynominal function of speed. In some cases, the square is the dominant one and others can be ignored. In other cases, it the linear term.
You usually take "drag" to be proportional to the square. For very low Reynold's numbers, you can go with the linear F = bv relation.

I know, right? I was so unsure of myself when I was taking physics that every silly thing in a problem threw me. I remember one problem that said something about two places being so many kilometers apart "as the crow flies." I had no idea how to get started on that one. WTF does THAT mean??? Well, now I know but back than there was no internet to ask. It goes to show you that doing well in problem solving is really tied to confidence in one's ability to do problems. I should have knwn to just use the formulas in the chapter and get started.

And now the Commies have ruined something else perfectly decent. No public sneeze will ever be the same again. The spiritual among us will no doubt say "bless you" with extra fervor and a wry look, and probably get a laugh, but honestly if you sneeze in public from now on you are basically going to be Public Enemy #1 and anyone who does bless you is going to have everyone looking at them, too.
That said I'm a germaphobe, exacerbated bigly by being immunosuppressed, and actually think it's good if we can now shame idiots into sneezing in their elbow like a considerate human being. But my point is, another mundane, predictable social interaction is completely out the window. Commies win.

Probably. If your material gets too light, even small drag forces will throw it off. Drag forces depend on shape of the object, not mass, and speed. So it's the ratio of drag to weight compared with the finally velocity you're going to reach.
Experiments like this are usually done with relatively heavy spheres of different weights.

Okay, let's do the Romper Room physics on this. Warning, there is going to be math following, so avert your eyes. Leaning tower of Pisa height is about 57m.
Free falling object (in vacuum) distance vs time.
x = 1/2 g*t^2,
velocity v,
v = g*t.
We solve for the time when it reaches a certain x, to get distance vs velocity:
x = v^2/2g --> v = sqrt(2gx).
For 57m, that's 33 m/s or about 74 mph.
Now, I'm gonna look up the drag/terminal velocity for a sphere and see what that works out to be.

Like engine-turning? I have seen the look you describe. No, I got some premixed texture paint, and a roller sleeve in the form of a 3-dimensional random mesh. I am just going to roll it on, and expect a rough texture with little peaks and valleys. If it covers most of the seams, nail holes, cracks, and screw heads, it's a win. Ceiling panels are mostly quarter-inch plywood, and a few pieces of Masonite. I will probably use a small brush to daub texture paint on problem spots before picking up the roller.

V^2 = 2mg/(pAC), where p is the density of the fluid, air in this case, C is the coefficient of drag, and A is the cross sectional area of the object moving through said fluid. Note this ratio of weight to the drag force.
For a sphere C is about 1/2, 0.47. Density of air is about 1.22 kg/m^3.
Now A. I'm gonna figure something the size of baseball. That's about 0.04m. It's cross section area is thus about .005 m^2.
Now, multiply that all together and divide by 2 and we get a denominator of .001.
Now, what's the weight of a cork baseball, thus. I come up with .06 kg (0.13 lbs).
Ratio of that to the above is .06/.001 = 60.

So terminal velocity for a cork baseball is just 7.7 m/s or 17 mph. Compare that to the vacuum free fall speed for the leaning tower of 33 m/s, and we conclude that air resistance would be a very significant factor for a cork baseball dropped from that height.
A lead baseball would hit the ground well before a cork one would.
This assumes my arithmetic is accurate. Too lazy to check it.

C19 gets bored when you are being forced to do it. feels like the worst flu and asthma attack i ever had rolled into one. sucked and actually scared me a little off and on.
but today i woke up and only kinda felt like hell and continued to improve through the day, my horse sounds like shes gonna live at least for now and not have to suffer too much.tomorrow i plan to make cloth masks with carbon filters. Y'all heard hepa filters are bad, didnt you? they are made of glass fibers. Carbon air filter is better because charcoal is neutral and is you friend sanwiched between layers of fabric. I was lucky and scored N95 masks before the disaster so my little bullshit cloth masks are mostly to protect the good one underneath for myself.
I have really missed the horde. i was looking at the food threads and thinking i gotta step up my game

Like engine-turning? I have seen the look you describe. No, I got
some premixed texture paint, and a roller sleeve in the form of a
3-dimensional random mesh. I am just going to roll it on, and expect a
rough texture with little peaks and valleys. If it covers most of the
seams, nail holes, cracks, and screw heads, it's a win. Ceiling panels
are mostly quarter-inch plywood, and a few pieces of Masonite. I will
probably use a small brush to daub texture paint on problem spots before
picking up the roller.

So no. Not just the fucking flue. I live with someone who has an iron constitution, and has survived amazing stupid painful things. He was a tangle of miser wrapped in a bathrobe, huddled under a blanket. But for him the horrible part lasted a week not a month.

While I have no proof, I suspect some Chicom was involved in that. Maybe he was some bat eater, who then fucked a camel.

Are they giving her the HCQ cocktail, and if not, why not? Also look into Ivermectin. There was a report that a lab in Australia tested it, in vitro, and it killed 98% of the WuFlu virus. Ivermectin is used in humans for parasite control, and is safe. If i were sick with the WuFlu, and could not get the HCQ cocktail, I would sure bum some Ivermectin off a local cattle raiser, and take a shot of it. Human-appropriate dosage, of course.

Let's look at perspective on WuFlu vs flu. Flu is a regular thing, it's built into the system. We deal with it. 30K people die from it per year, spread out over 12 months.
Let's look at WuFlu. Death toll is now 10, 900. On Mar 1, there was exactly 1 death. The deaths thus have increased by four orders of magnitude in one month.
On March 15, the daily death rate was around 10 per day. It is now on the order of 1000 per day. That's two orders of magnitude in around 20 days.
That is not something to sneeze at.

I've had the flu at least 3 times in my 29 year life, and none of them was a picnic. But colds are a walk in the park compared to them bone achers.
And not once did I fear I was dying. Maybe I was wishing for death, but not worried about it.

While agreed, it appears that this Corona based thing has a greater rate of "infected/dead" than either the flu that we're used to, or the cold on which it's based.
I do quite believe that it's a "somehow released" strain from that damned Chinese lab.
The slow growth of it on the West Coast resulted in a bit of "herd immunity".
Then, it caught fire and multiplied, everywhere.
The Swine Flu of '09 and '10, was deadlier. On a case by case basis.
This thing though, burns brightly.
And that's why I think it'll also burn out, more quickly.
Bonus. The really sharp docs on this one sussed out which meds already in use, had already proven effective against it's close viral cousins.
And it seems, they've been right, all along.

And one more thing: blood transfusion, whole blood, the entire supply, if possible. The WuFlu fucks up the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen, and that is the root of the lung scarring that torabora mentions. Suck out the bad blood, pump in some new, and that might buy her time for her immune system to get ahead of the bug.

i have no say in her treatment as it started early on and i just hear once shes been having her lungs drained, then i hear shes intubated then im too sick to keep up. now i hear shes probably not gonna live.
as far as ivermectin goes... im a horsewoman and its familiar stuff. You have to treat it carefully as its hard on gut flora, but if i wasnt already getting pretty much over this shit i was gonna try it on myself since i have enough to dose 12 1400 lb animals with it on hand all the time. I was guessing i could take a foal dose. Will tell you this. Where i am theres not plaquinel for love or money to be had. my doc gave me a different related drug and i was starting to feel better in about 2 hours, and in 5 hours i felt amazingly better. but i am worried as fuck this shit damaged my lungs as i am now clear of virus (I can haz paper that sez so!) but im still having a hell of a time with breathing.

The IHME put up a detailed explanation of what changed in their model projections. Basically,they got much more real data, and that changed thing significantly:
http://www.healthdata.org/covid/updates
The latest real data showed some differences in assumptions that greatly affected the resource usage numbers. First, for those who die, they die quicker than thought. So the bodies get out of the hospital quicker.
That's bad, but good for resources. For those who live, they take much longer than assumed to get out of ICU.
Those who don't have to go to ICU get out a lot earlier than previous estimates. This is the biggie.

Reporters, for the most part, are not born stupid.
But they are immature people who like to play games. Their favorite game is Gotcha. They also like to report news that is not news at all but are lies. Thus, they cannot be trusted. And they hate it when a mature person spanks them in public.(Trump). They cry a lot. So I see reporters as adult children with a liberal bent on life and who take themselves way to seriously.

Have to read it again - still not sure why CA's projection changed so dramatically (for the better). Especially the big advance of the peak, by 12 days.
But I understand why they're building this aircraft after it's taken off - that's the deal, it's a new bug, and info is scarce.
Of course, just like the reporters today who couldn't let go of the IG report re testing, and imply that tests for brand new bugs should just magically appear instantly in adequate numbers, many apparently don't understand that new pathogens require new models, and you modify them as you gain more info and insight, and thus projections can radically change.

After leaving the house during the day for the first time in three weeks I was surprised how many people were out and about. Shopping, going for walks, construction crews working within feet of each other, etc. (This in Maryland) Made me wonder if we'd better off with 10 days of super strict lock-down instead of several weeks of closing most businesses and recommending people stay home. I'm talking about telingl everyone that they must get food and medicine for 10 days and may not leave unless for medical emergency. It would only be 10 days but most who'd already had the virus would be over it after 10 days, and any new people would develop symptoms to know to keep staying home by end of 10 day run. In most states we are still seeing increasing numbers of new infections after three weeks "at home" so obviously people are still catching it outside the home. Somehow. Maybe a more severe, but shorter, order to stay home would be better for public health and the economy.

The leverage of isolation (really just a kind of variable quarantine) is maximum at the earliest stages (which one almost never knows, only diseases for which there is mature and ongoing surveillance are detected "up front"), and declines rapidly.
If the various measures adopted mostly in mid-March had been adopted right around the time of Trump's end to admissions from China (1/31), we'd be dealing with much smaller, almost negligible, problem. But yeah, try to imagine that in the real world.

Of the now everyday, routine variety.
Trump and Biden talk on the phone (really nothing more than a courtesy, at this point, given Biden's decline, political haplessness). When asked about it, Trump of course classily keeps it general and positive.
Biden camp issues an outrageous, slanderous lie, to the effect that Biden had been urging more aggressive measures on Trump for months.
WTFF??
The day after Trump's most important move, the China travel ban, Biden called the move "xenophobic".
Just hoping that the minute after Trump take's the concession call from the nurse attending Biden on election night, he goes before the cameras and savages the POS and his POS advisors and friends. Don, I know you have it in you. You were born for that moment.

The old Charleston accent is fading away. It's only the old timers would really still have it. It (and Savannah, too) were unique and quite distinct flavors, and there were reasons for that having to do with being a port city back in the Colonial days or something.
Also the low country r dropping think is going extinct as well.
My mother, born in Saluda, has a little of that trying to come out. She mostly talks Upstate, but in her old age, a little of the r dropping thing is coming out. Saluda was on the border of the r dropping line.
She'll slip out "dollah" and similar occasionally.

The Strom accent was a thing unto itself. Back when I wuz in college at Clempson cow college, dey used to be this radio station that had a morning zoo format. They had a couple of guys who do Strom, Danny Ford, and some others. They would make jokes in Strom or Danny's voice all the time, as though they were all there.
Strom's character was dubbed "Sen. Strong Thermos". He would sing a song occasionally, his theme being something that went, "Oh yay, yay, tell me what he say!" Please, tell me what the hell he just said.

Well, Clempson being a cow college, they were not as sophisticated as at USC in the State Capital.
There, Strom was known as "Sperm Thurmond."
That was about the time he married Miss Nancy and began the sequential baby-making at the age of 65.

Quite a few of them seem to show the growth rate (the change in the slope at a given point x) was slowing some time ago.

She thinks that by being the sperm receptacle of a British prince she has attained the celebrity level that her acting talent and BJ skills would never have given her. And this she now believes she's important enough to make these demands.

Hypothesis/SWAGs on this are: WuFlu virus attacks cells via the ACE-2 receptor. Children generally have less of these in the lower respiratory tract than adults. So, children likely don't have as much attack deep in their lungs.
Second, children's immune systems are immature and aren't too capable of launching the cytokine storm type of overreaction that overwhelms the lungs.
These are just hypotheses so far.

Making it impossible for the public to get a cut for weeks on end while elected officials and media personalities look well kept on TV is going to annoy a lot of regular people.

I was sent a very interesting article discussing a new theory wrt how this virus works. It's published at medium.com but the direct link 404's. The link I was sent is via the wayback machine; the article was published 2 days ago and is now disappeared from what I can tell w/o too much digging. This is the link vis wayback machine:
https://tinyurl.com/rg7pl3r
titled: "Covid-19 had us all fooled, but now we might have finally found its secret."
An excerpt:"The past 48 hours or so have seen a huge revelation: COVID-19 causes prolonged and progressive hypoxia (starving your body of oxygen) by binding to the heme groups in hemoglobin in your red blood cells. People are simply desaturating (losing o2 in their blood), and that's what eventually leads to organ failures that kill them, not any form of ARDS or pneumonia. All the damage to the lungs you see in CT scans are from the release of oxidative iron from the hemes, this overwhelms the natural defenses against pulmonary oxidative stress and causes that nice, always-bilateral ground glass opacity in the lungs. Patients returning for re-hospitalization days or weeks after recovery suffering from apparent delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy strengthen the notion COVID-19 patients are suffering from hypoxia despite no signs of respiratory tire out or fatigue."
Searching that excerpt, I find a link to the original cited article, also at medium, published yesterday, titled:
"Mounting evidence for Covid-19 treatments"
https://tinyurl.com/thkjopo
There's some startling/interesting info at both links.

Nah she's not that smart. She thought being a British royal would give her more status and freedom to run her mouth and be seen as being important. Then reality struck and the queen smacked her down and it was likely an ultimatum to shut up and fall in line or lose your status. And Harry is so whipped he chose to lose his status and she's trying to go back to what she knows now along with an even more inflated ego. I bet she was pissed when she found out the Canadians didn't want her. And it will be worse once she discovers her no longer royal status means dick to hollywood elites.
