Whatever.. they will be passed along..

They should just call it day and reopen everything.. we have over a million confirmed cases per week.. is anyone actually taking this seriously anymore? In other news.. someone came up with the idea to sell rotten produce under the guise of sustainability... https://www.misfitsmarket.com/ This getting better every day!

You have to what a couple of more days and they will all blow from your yard the next house down... or wait til we get a good north east blow and they go back on the lazy guy's house.

I have tried to sign up for american politics many many times... I never get the confirmation email. BTW.. that post was not political in any way.

If pfizer is required to submit its recipe for the vaccine as part of emergency use authorization, the US Government should have a lab on stand by to clone it and start manufacturing it immediately. I am hearing stuff about "ethical distribution".. umm no.. we have the nukes.. we have the money.. we have the smartest scientists in the world. That should be our vaccine.

they blow away too

Why would this winter suck.. the Pandemic is probably over and it is gonna snow!

My gut feeling is that it kinda just goes away before that.. once we get that federal mask mandate in place.. there is an endgame

My wife was complaining about censorship the other day... "what about the first amendment".. in reality they own the platform and they can do what ever they want..

yup! thank god thats over.. what are they saying like 6 month or something?

I am thinking it will be over in a couple of hours when they finish up Arizona and Nevada. As soon as they saw the lead changing in those states.. voting mysteriously stopped.. I think that they are just trying to get the National Guard in place throughout the country and then drop the news...

I think that content moderation is on high alert because no one has made a peep about the election.. I guess people are scared.

yup... Looks good in Texas!

lol

We had our first Covid related death today of someone I knew. Yesterday at around 5:00 PM the police came to our door. The neighbors around an apartment we sublet were reporting an odor. Our tenant had been dead for over a week. It is not clear as to the exact cause but the ME suspects and overdose or liver failure. This man was in recovery. Prior to COVID, he was attending daily 12 step meetings and helped countless others around him. He was an example of how to stay sober for people around him. Over the summer I spoke with him and he said that he started drinking again.. he said that while their were virtual meetings 24 hours a day, it didnt substitute for the person to person connection you get in the recovery community. He told me that several of our friends had already passed away.. now him.

Best Halloween ever. The kids and I sat up on there bunk bed with the Window open and when the trick or treaters approached we served them up with sling shots.. we are still laughing about it today All the neighborhood kids loved it too.. accept the Snow White girl that got hit on the head.. but she was good sport!

I read this story from WSJ that said after the debacle in Northern Italy, many European Doctors were warning against the over use of ventilators and were recommending supplemental oxygen as the first line of defense.. but hospital protocols in NYC discouraged use of noninvasive oxygen therapy because of fear that this would aerate the virus causing it to spread within the hospitals. Furthermore ventilators and the associated induced coma would almost always lead to renal failure and require dialysis.. but hospitals werent equipped to handle the surge and many died waiting for treatment for kidney failure that they never actually needed to have. Today, Doctors are reluctant to use ventilators and often see these as "last resort" treatments. I saw a number that 90% of the people put in comas over the age of 70 in NYC never woke up. I cant believe this hasn't been brought to light.. that it is not news.

Why was the fatality rate 10 times higher in the first few weeks in New York as compared to other major metropolitan areas like Miami (where they actually a larger outbreak)

The number of death that can be attributed to weed annually is debatable. Some people say it is zero.. probably not correct. but by the sheer fact that someone can make that claim means that alcohol is many many many times more lethal than weed

https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sheets/alcohol-facts-and-statistics#:~:text=Alcohol-Related Deaths%3A,poor diet and physical inactivity. Alcohol-Related Deaths: An estimated 88,0005 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women5) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.6

When I was a kid I was arrested several times for possession and I was a huge advocate of legalized weed.. I was basically a conscientious objector. Looking back on this period, I really wish I was not exposed to it at such young age. I can say from first hand experience that for anyone who has a propensity to addiction, legalized marijuana provides a means to an end.

fun times...

my tradition is to open the sun roof and windows and drive with the kids on first flakes! This usually seem to always be around halloween - november 15th

If last night's GFS verified i would chase.. the 318 hour frame is just silly
