Quoted from o-din:Good morning gentlemen. Did you all sleep well? I certainly did.
Did I miss anything so far?
You need more walking Tacos! 
Quoted from BobSacamano:One thing that has really come out of the woodwork with this virus, are all the people sharing that they're in poor health or immuno-compromised. (Or that they have a loved one in that situation).
I did not realize we were so sick as a nation.
You'd think Healthcare would be the #1 issue at every ballot state/federal.
I agree healthcare should be up there. But healthcare is like a mob run business. The prices really need to come down as it is out of control!
Quoted from Jaybird815:Thanks Chad, I was just going to go look for info on proper glove removal.
You're welcome!
Quoted from ForceFlow:Yeah, a tank.

Quoted from titanpenguin:FYI, his H1 is electric to boot....so even the environmentalists should be happy!
https://www.kreiselelectric.com/en/blog/kreisel-electric-and-arnold-schwarzenegger-present-the-worlds-first-electrified-hummer-h1/
Wasn't his an original one ? Or is the red one electric?
Quoted from cottonm4:The media targets for the masses. There are not that many doctors per capita that will watch sitcoms, there are not that many scientists that will watch sitcoms. Not saying the highly educated do not watch TV, but there are not that many TV viewers that will watch much of anything that is scientific or anything else that requires study and thought. So, TV markets the masses and that means they are reaching for there lowest common denominator with TV shows geared for geared for a 14 year old. And this is why we get in front to the TV and zone out.
Flicker rate, carrier waves, frequency waves, even color affects the viewer...
Quoted from titanpenguin:He had an original way back when. His red one was converted. With the geared hubs I bet his converted one is torque monster. Effectively doubles the torque to the wheel.
Thanks!
Quoted from arcademojo:How about a little good news.

Quoted from Jaybird815:One positive thing I did notice is that the gas station and grocery store in town put x’s on the floor 6 ft apart in the cashier lines and people were using them.
Aldi now has the 6 foot rule. They even removed the lane guides for the groceries themselves....
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Haha. The ice cream and frozen pizza sections at my local grocery store have had low stock over these past two weeks. I grabbed the last two Ben and Jerry cookie dough pints at my local Kroger last week lol. Also, I try every week to make a Detroit style pizza at home. Flour, especially bread flour, has been hard to find over the past couple weeks.
I keep looking for Wheat Bread, no dice. All is see is some white and bagels...
Quoted from JodyG:The smoke from the crematories could be seen on satellite from space relatively early on. I don't believe the official number for a minute.
I agree, no country is spot on . Numbers are fudged for sure!
Quoted from cottonm4:Well, the church needs money, too.
If nobody comes to church
How can they pass the plate?
If they can't pass the plate
How are they supposed to get any money?
If they don't have any money
How can they open the doors?
If they can't open the doors
How are they suppose to get paid?
Interesting in how some of the
preachers say they can lay on hands
and keep you safe and pray it away,
but they cannot find the prayer needed
to make the collection plate fill up.
And the fact they are tax exempt ...
Oh dear, now Greta claims to have this alledged sickness. She's been on tour many subway rides.
How Dare You! 
Quoted from zpinman370:Here in Ontario we are being ordered to shutdown at 11:59 pm today for all but essential businesses. The thing is that the list of businesses that can stay open has 75 categories and you can find any kind of excuse to stay open including liquor, beer and pot shops. In reality its a complete joke and does barely nothing to help. I guess we are practicing the "cure cant be worse than the problem" mentality as espoused by the bubble headed blonde bimbo south of the border. We have our own here in Ontario. So sad for all of us!!
Wisconsin is next! Starting March 25th, 2020 for 30 days.
Quoted from Gunnut40:Mr. Cuomo noted that FEMA indicated plans to send 400 ventilators to New York.
“400 ventilators? I need 30,000 ventilators,” he said. “You want a pat on the back for sending 400 ventilators? What are we going to do with 400 ventilators when we need 30,000 ventilators?”
My work place is in the process of making 2 critical parts for the GM ventilators. The casting dies should be ready in 7 to 14 days. We have a contract for 200,000 of each these parts. I'm not sure how long before GM starts putting these machines together.
Great news forthe parts.
Quoted from Whysnow:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealClearPolitics
do you actually read that shit?
No , when searching about cuomo not buying ventilators in 2015 this was one of a few that surfaced .
Quoted from CrazyLevi:No it’s not bad.
All the panic buying, hoarding, and general hysteria isn’t happening here. At least not yet.
We’ve kind of been through crazy shit like this before.

Nice set up there.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:That movie is up next in “Coronavirus Theater” (ie: movies I’m forcing my gf to watch.).
She picked Working Girl early this week so it’s my turn, either this or Robocop.
Make her wait Levi. Put on the trio Spaghetti Western. Get a nice lunch to go with it.

Quoted from Psw757:Wtf is going on in China, now they are reporting a human Hatanvirus death from rats. One died and now they are testing a whole bus load to see if it is spreading human to human.
Heard about this. Wonder who they will blame now...?
Quoted from o-din:Don't blame the rats.[quoted image]
Oh man Ben, and Willard would be pissed...
Quoted from Zablon:Which I think is fine..the middle class is already going to eat this in taxes for the rest of our lives.
The middle class wasted long ago. They were absorbed into the lower class ...
Quoted from Extraballz:“Sacrifice grandpa to save the economy”doesn’t seem like the best re election motto....but what do I know. I thought Trump needed the senior citizen vote to win re election. I’m sure they are fine with being sacrificed and will not take it personal though.
More like Bill Gates...
Granted this was in 2018.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salaries_of_members_of_the_United_States_Congress
Sadly big government equals small citizen. Slightly off topic , but we as over taxed payers pay the price. These wankers always seem to stall everything, fatten their pockets with with endless benefits. They are the ones that come out smelling like roses time and time again.
Rant off, if I need be moderated no problem

When :Dthey dig up that spaceship out of the ice?
And what's up with Greenland?
They will track us and give your country, state , city a grade on how well people abide by da rules.
Quoted from o-din:Are those peeps made of the same stuff as those sugary foam peanuts?
No thanks!
Peeps are the one sugary treat I can't do. My teeth freak out when I used to eat them.
Quoted from Coindork:No where near the strangest thing an ER doctor has had to encounter.
According to google images, a unbroken Candy Cane . Another incident , a unbroken
light bulb. No it was not turned on. 
Quoted from Coindork:Key word search "keister x ray" and click on images.
Some of the same ones showed ha ha plus
A gun, Cassette tape WTFH

Not a win the USA needed....
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I’m doing one connector a day on Stern Magic.
What can I say, I hate doing connectors.
Those aren't bad. Its Gottliebs that are a pain
Quoted from CrazyLevi:True. But I also have to replace 30 light sockets. Such garbage!
I hear you there. !
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I have read all those, but thank you.
What is missing is crossing those messages of hope, with what was happening at the top,
and the additional press meetings, that he tried to follow the leader, to get aide.
NY has gone back and forth, from Towing the line from the top, to outright screaming for help.
This position is True, just to get help.
It is however fail to criticize that they should have simply locked down, in defiance of leadership,
But hopefully we can share a belief as to how this would have been received as a Nation, and by Leadership, if they locked down sooner.
Here is a bit of the Timeline:
The numbers bear out that success. The first known case in New Rochelle was discovered March 2. By March 10, that number had shot up to 108 coronavirus cases, evidence of exponential growth. The containment zone was established two days later.
15 days ago.
Here is the Tweet in that time frame:
"The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”"
So should they have locked the state down, in addition to the Outbreak area? Yes, perhaps, now in hindsight.
But at that time, it wouldnt have been tolerated, and maybe even today, there is debate on the legality of some of this....
I Understand you now, though, which is why I asked the ventilator question.
Hindsight makes everyone right, and Im not trying to be rude to you, but it allows one to
create views that are likely different than real time decisions.
What does this have to do with my response
To Levi changing 30 lamp sockets out?
Quoted from cottonm4:There are over 440 posts since I was last here yesterday. I would like to tell you that I have read them all bit no one would believe me
anyway, this is something that came in my mail yesterday. Enjoy.
Of course, the part about staying home if you feel sick might be a problem if you run out of money.
[quoted image]
Mine arrived Wednesday. I shed a tear and feel a bit better.
Quoted from o-din:I have found staying hungry throughout this stay at home ordeal has not only made me feel healthier, but also is showing great improvement at my waistline.
It is good to fast for a day or even 2. Lot of water, coffee , orange juice. I personally feel very good afterwards...
Do not goto your vacation home out of state there.
Edit: I had not seen that Levi posted similar prior.
Quoted from arcademojo:Florida is doing it now also. Should have saved the link but didn't.
This one by chance?
Ran across an article pertaining to Business interruption Insurance. Some local restaurants to me were paying for this additional insurance and being denied . ( covid 19
insurance co says not an act of God, but a Tornado is lol)
Nice little read about changes to be/could be added for Covi19 to have it included on insurance. NY NJ

Quoted from cait001:Hannity is an entertainment & opinion show, we shouldn't be using it in this thread regardless of politics. It's just like The View.
The View is at least 30 times worse than being subjected to non stop finger nails on chalk board for a week straight...
Quoted from Zablon:When I start to get a sore throat, I usually start drinking hot tea with honey and lemon and a bit of cayenne, and mainlining straight honey periodically. Seems to help keep the severity and duration down, but could be placebo.
Honey is the best , pure item and works. I generally will ramp up jalapeno, serrno, habenero and manzunu peppers in stir fry or salad. Oh yeah garlic too!
Quoted from Tranquilize:If you have an itchy throat and are coughing alot, gargling water with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper thoroughly mixed in will stop the itch. The burning of the pepper feels like scratching on the itch. Have to do it about every hour. Way better than the numbing spray.
Good stuff!
Quoted from belairjoe:now everyone can use that TP they hoarded
Exactly, and hope no plumber is needed!
Quoted from Coindork:If your going to off yourself, do it in a way where someone else doesn’t have to clean up a huge splattered mess.
Quicksand!
Quoted from Coindork:This does not surprise me at all.
I suspect it won’t be too long before we start hearing stories of civialians in communities set up roadblocks or checkpoints.
Yes , it'll be who rats out who. I can't imagine the confrontations, leading to a brawl. Oh Warriors....
Quoted from o-din:Just wait until the virus gets on board those ships from a transported non-COVID patient or infected healthcare worker.
1000 beds, could be a flash fire affect.

Nice, now cook us pinsiders up some food. Please!
Quoted from Gryszzz:[quoted image]
Opera Man. Nice. The ( his) sentance was a bit harsh though.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:And for new parents out there, breast feeding is really, really good for the immune system, and all sorts of other benefits for your growing babies. And it’s free.
For the first 6 months is great. Mother passes a bit of the immunity to newborn. Not to say they won't be brought down by something, but a head start if you will.
Quoted from Kiwipinhead:Lets play "Event 201" Timing on this is crazy [quoted image]
I had posted the videos of this in the other now closed and defunct thread. I better not do it here . Started in October
Quoted from Atrain:I'm a big fan of o-din changing up the avatar. Never know what's going to be next
Waiting for some type of food avatar
Quoted from Daditude:Lol!!
It's funny how many said they would be looking for pins with the stimulus. I'm just hoping to pay a bill or two...
I want to apply towards bills as well, but I am going to do my best to not spend it anytime soon. Save it for now.
Quoted from noob-a-tron:Just a question anyone keeping track of just the normal good old fashioned Flu Deaths etc. I wonder how its comparing we are in April now so should have some data on this but i cant find anything. Corona stealing the show. Also Global Warming is that still a thing?
Thats another hot topic there Global Warming
Yes off topic, but should make everyone a little happier .

Quoted from Zablon:I want to know who tf falls for these that they cost people '10bn a year'. In an age where you basically can screen every call based on the numbers you have in your phone, there's almost no reason for it to be that high.
It will ve nice to put an end to the spoofing of numbers for sure.
Quoted from noob-a-tron:I get down voted if i don't agree but i don't down vote people that i don't agree with. Same old Same old. Just shows what its all about. We can cure this easily, We all become Vegans.
I know it'll get cured, but I could never go vegan.
He's got fans and groupies. And some probably upset at Faucis speech at George Town University January 10th, 2017 stating that "Trump will have a suprise out break" ??
Quoted from CrazyLevi:A mistakenly miscredited 4 second video clip on a morning show doesn't shake my faith in the credibility of the mainstream media.
It's just not very important, unless you really believe there's a media conspiracy to convince you that there is a crisis in NYC's hospitals when in fact it's a paradise right now. Don't worry, the NYC hospital B-roll is coming soon enough and it's gonna be horrifying. For now you can rely on the B-roll of body bags being wheeled out to freezer trucks to tide you over.
I kinda hate to stick up for CBS news as their news division is pretty atrocious right now, but I just don't think this "media lie" is worth the 2 straight weeks of play it's going to get on Fox News.
It's when they push it and blow it out of proportion.
Quoted from Mizzou0103:I’d like to point out that Anderson Cooper is an entertainment show that thinks it’s news. Occasionally he will do hard hitting interviews, but like a lot of prime time TV personalities, ratings are important.
Once again, I’d urge everyone to read:
- The AP
- Reuters
- The Wall Street Journal
- The Economist
- Your local newspaper
- The Washington Post
- The New York Times
A mix of center right and center left will help keep you balanced and not addicted to junk food news.
Quoted from PantherCityPins:If you touched a surface that had coronavirus on it and then touched your cheek or chin then yes it's possible you could get it.
Don't touch your face while you are out in public and wash or sanitize your hands after you touch any public surface. If you are inside your home and have washed your hands since coming in from the public then it should be ok to touch your face at that point.
It's hard, I never knew how much I touched my face during the day until now!
Average of 23 times an hour you touch your face.
Quoted from DaveH:This is disgusting. Not your post, the fact that they are going to have people gather in churches like that. People will catch it there. People will die. It really is that simple. I'm not an alarmist. Not everyone will die... but enough will. And then some of the people that care for those sick people will also catch it. And then some of them will also die. I assume at some point the pastors will be charged with manslaughter for each death. Because that is the correct charge when people die from your negligence, right? Or is there enough malice now to consider it murder?
Tar and feather , then draw and quarter them.
Quoted from flynnibus:Want to start a ruckus in a bar full of rednecks? Play 4-5 songs of hip hop or rap in a row... or maybe some latin music.
Not everyone 'prunes' their internet jukebox fully...
I have seen written signs near the jukeboxes stating we have the right to reject certain songs.
Quoted from smalltownguy2:Not to mention the fact that bar owners usually have zero input on what tunes are loaded in the jukebox; that's the operator's job.
Bar owners can ask for new or different music requests from their operator. It may not take place immediately. Butg they will see it through
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Quite often the bartender will have a “skip” button behind the bar.
They all have a handy remote.
Different zone volumes, pause, skip etc etc
Bad enough with all the litter, now rubber gloves and masks being chucked.

Quoted from ForceFlow:I just went to the local Aldi store for some essential perishables. I wasn't going to go in if it was crowded, but there were only a small handful of cars there, so I went in.
Food was fully stocked, except for bread. Plenty of eggs, milk, canned goods, frozen foods, etc. Toilet paper and paper towels were still all gone. There was a limit of 6 jugs of milk, and a limit on canned goods.
All the cashiers had plexiglass shields. There were signs everywhere to remind people to keep 6 feet away from each other, and stickers on the floor throughout the whole store measured 6 feet apart saying the same thing
About half the customers in the store were wearing masks, about half were not. There were maybe a dozen people, plus 4 staff. Only a couple of customers were wearing gloves. Staff were not wearing gloves or masks.
I also noticed that the divider bars had been removed from all the check-out lanes.
That was about everything I observed.
The Aldi I goto removed theirs about 2 weeks ago. No tape on floor or plastic barrier up. The cashiers to had no gloves or masks on.
Quoted from o-din:I saw packaged bacon at Ralphs for over $10 a pound. They are usually kinda pricy without using their card, but that seemed way out of line.
I'll be going to Stater Bros next week to see what their butcher cut bacon is going for now. Usually $4.99 to $5.99 a pound.What's that cheese goo doing on there? Fake hash browns too?
That aint no Fantasy Omelet.
I am not sure what that is. The hasbrown looked like normal .
Quoted from CrazyLevi:What is wrong with these people?
And why don’t we have a national stay at home order yet?
And why am I asking you guys?
Sensing a hard lockdown coming for all. No one but police and medical out. I can't proof it , but seems inevitable...
Quoted from bob_e:I am going out to buy a pinball machine today...
My state has a shelter in place order...
I will tell the cops that pinball is essential....
So which mask is best?[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Coconut is hilarious.
Anyone spraying down their grocery items prior to picking up? Saw a lady in gloves and mask spraying the packages on the shelf before handling them.
Aldi in my area now has the 6 foot floor stickers now and the giant plastic shields up.
It was nice to see employees out wiping the carts down and providing wipes inside for the customers. I'm sure this put some minds at ease. Also learned Aldi is donating $1 million dollars to various charitable ( covid 19) needs during these rather strenuous times!!
Quoted from Jaybird815:I went grocery shopping this morning, got there 10 minutes before they opened, no one there and stocked shelves. Sanitized my hands before and after, careful to not touch my face while in there. Put the groceries away and then thoroughly washed my hands. I have enough for 2 weeks.
Everything was stocked, some reason tissues now are / have been extinct there.
Quoted from Who-Dey:Lol no doubt. Why do so many people wear their pajamas to wal mart?? Unbelievable!
Those things have to shedding far worse items
Quoted from Who-Dey:Lol that's kinda funny also because another question I have is why do so many people take their dogs to Lowes? I've never noticed that in wal mart but always in Lowes seems like.
I read no more kids or dogs in the big box stores.
Costco now only 2 people per card may enter.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I already had some masks and a couple full on respirators here in the shop. I use them for mowing because of my allergies and when I work with nasty stuff. It sucks right now because I have maybe 8 N95 masks left and they can't be found anywhere.
I had to mow the yard with a full respirator on today so I didn't ruin one of our ones my wife takes to the store.
I have real gas masks with NBC cartridges stowed for if things get really sketchy, but I doubt coronavirus will take us there.
Would a damp hankercheif or silverware cloth work as a filter? Help somewhat filter out the dust / pollen.
Quoted from cottonm4:The bar, where I used to play pool at has one of these new fangled juke boxes. You can download an ap for your phone and buy the music you want to hear just by your using your cellphone. But there are several bars around town with these electronic juke boxes and you can choose which box you are buying music for. The barmaids buy shitty songs for their competitors jukes .
Some of Pat Boones covers and Beer Barrel Polka.
Quoted from PinJim:This thread makes me want a good cigar. On day 30, smoke free. Dammit!
Keep up the pace!
Quoted from Zampinator:It's called predictive programming. Look it up!
Exactly.
Kinda like the movie Enemy of the State from 1998.
Quoted from Jaybird815:I went out and bought me one these bad boys today, keeping it simple for the first use, but it’s Hibachi season from here on out![quoted image]

Everywhere , including the usa. They are all off.
Quoted from o-din:The mother of my daughter, who she still lives with, fell ill last week.
Taken to an urgent care on Thursday, she was tested and diagnosed with the flu and sent home with Tylenol. Saturday she was admitted to the hospital, and although test results not back as of yesterday, they are treating it like Covid-19. She is on a ventilator suffering multiple organ failure and the prognosis is not good. They are not expecting her to make it. The have her on dialysis as well hoping for the best.
She had some underlying heath issues over the last few years that have made her susceptible. My daughter has no symptoms.
Stay strong, and I hope for the best!!
Quoted from cait001:Yeah what's up with the 5G stuff? There are legit reasons to hate on 5G (like destroying invaluable weather forecast progress, being a slapdash workaround to hide lack of investment in fiber infrastructure,) but I hear people are actually trying to destroy 5G towers over the coronavirus?
Weird times, man.
Something to do with the depletion of oxygen from blood cells?? I am always interested in both sides, but to go and cause destruction to gov property is a big obvious no no . No matter what we Humans make, there is always a good and bad to follow. So there's that.
Quoted from Daditude:Anyone else's car getting 3 weeks to the gallon right now?
It is nice !!
Quoted from cottonm4:I have been to the grocery store 4-5 times. And took two drives around the city to see what things look like. Last time I was out gas was down to $1.60 per gallon. And the last time I gassed up was 4 weeks ago and that was just to top off.
About 2 weeks ago Mobile was $1.28 gallon. It has crept up to 1.92 at one particular Mobile.
Quoted from goingincirclez:Well, it's our "toy" and occasion car and there's an interesting / too-long story of how & why I acquired and resurrected it. Objectively, I love and hate it at the same time... it was a wholly indefensible, cynical, incomprehensibly space-wasting pile even in its day. Today, it's an anachronism which is why I put up with it. Plus, it rides soooooo buttery "what garbage infrastructure?" smooth. And it has FOUR cigar lighters, ha! Oh, and I adore the color scheme on this one, which actually ends up being really rare for these cars.
Despite its many faults, it's all original with 82K miles and people really seem to enjoy seeing it.

Because I'm an effing moron, I actually got it running just before the Great Recession, when gas spiked to $4+ a gallon. Filled up the tank for a C-note and barely made it from Frankfort to Louisville and back because I hadn't yet figured out how to tune its abortion of a carburetor. Eye-opening, indeed...
I've since had it as high as 16mpg in ideal conditions. Typical around town is all of.... 8, at best.
Perfect car for the first time getting your drivers license , if you can parallel park with no problem all systems go.
Quoted from o-din:When you stay up until 3:00 AM and watch Mannix because now you can...
What about Hammer?
Quoted from arcademojo:Pa is mentioning about doing this now also. I see the biggest problem is with too many people are bringing there entire families with them to shop. I went to Target the other day to pick up a ROKU and can say the toy section was like a playground. People need to shop one person per family. It is nice to be able to buy a few nonessential items but they just can't do it safely.
Have seen this.
Now this is just low. People out trying their best to keep things going and others have the nerve to do a switch a roo .....Unbelievable!

Quoted from o-din:Ca. has often been criticized because of our leaders, culture, and people.
Not saying are numbers may not go up dramatically, but so far we are looking like the model state in controlling this curve.
However the theory is out there that the virus may have hit here last year and there already might be a larger herd immunity to it. They are starting to test to see how many people may have already had it.Connie's stable and has been improving a bit, but still has a major battle to continue fighting I am told.
Great to hear O-din!! ( about Connie)
Quoted from arcademojo:So does this mean they can't eat them anymore?
China to reclassify dogs as pets, not livestock, in wake of coronavirus
https://nypost.com/2020/04/09/china-to-reclassify-dogs-as-pets-in-wake-of-coronavirus/
"The livestock designation means animals can be bred for food, milk, fur, fiber and medicine, or to be used in sports or military activity.'"
Fiber?
There is a video on Youtube from 1978 called Shocking Asia. They were eating bats back then . This pathogen could have been floating in one form or another, grabbed and potentially weaponized. And with Kansas the new home to Plum Island ....

I had some outpatient cancer surgery on Monday. I was supposed to be at the hospital at 9:10 for a 10:10 procedure. The place was so empty, they had the surgery completed by 9:45. It took longer waiting to get a prescription filled at the pharmacy than it did for everything else combined.
I'm happy to see they let you in for it as so many other appointments of every kind have been canceled.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Once things do start to reopen does anyone else think it will be at limited capacity? For example maybe every place starts reopening but only at 25% capacity for the first month, then 50% the second month, then 75% three months later. This way any small uptick in new cases could be detected and mitigation would be eaiser if neccessary versus if the entire country is just reopened at 100% capacity.
It will take time and for some people they may still permanently utilize "social distancing "

If streaming proves profitable, then theaters could be done with.
Sadly, there will come a day where humans never leave their homes. Digital interaction only. Deliveries via drones or robots. I personally hope this never happens!!
Quoted from Mr68:There is a Youtuber named, Crazy Russian Hacker that I find entertaining. He's all over the board with eccentric stuff that he tests out but some of his videos are him opening and eating military MRE's from the 1940's or 1950's. Cookies, coffee and even cigarettes in them. Some of the containers have leaks, some don't. And some MRE's that he purchased are from military's around the globe. - I think he's funny too.
BOOM, dare ya go.
I believe I have seen this guy. Not sure I would want to eat MRE that old.

Nice! I have mine also Billy Mitchell from 2013 PATZ.
Stopped by Aldi this morning and they had a 2 person cart cleaning crew on the grounds. They gave you a cart that was cleaned, no quarter required. Upon returning it they took and again cleaned again. I made sure to thank them for doing this! I'm sure this made people feel a little less stressed and at ease.
Quoted from Daditude:Do you guys ever actually use the hot sauces?
Lol
This doesn't include any peppers, pepper sauces, hot sauce packets, or spices. That would take forever...[quoted image]
There are only 2 that I have not used, Billy Mitchell and the very small one . I saved them specifically. Any other hot sauce I definately have opened.
Quoted from o-din:I'd like to say after weeks of rain, the sun beating on my head this morning feels good.

Little excerpt from
2010 Ted Talk
Quoted from Azmodeus:My assumption initially before I looked was besides numbers being up because of the pandemic, this burial method is normally used.
The remains of more than one million people are buried on Hart Island, though since the first decade of the 21st century, there are fewer than 1,500 burials a year.
Over 1 million buried there. Hard to believe.

Just saw that.
Quoted from o-din:Weird, the photos I'm finding are not as graphic as what I saw on the news, but that forklift sure has been getting a workout.
Worldwide there are videos showing how empty the hospitals are. They are laying off nurses left and right despite saying how busy they are. I saw a clip of some choreographed dance with a bunch of medical people involved in a hospital . I have driven by my hospital and immediate care places several times , no difference than other given days.
Quoted from Oaken:Well for one thing the hospital networks tried to get ahead of this thing so they don’t end up like New York or Milan or Wuhan, etc... If and when it hits a region, the hospitals are slammed. You don’t board up your windows when the hurricane comes ashore, by then it’s too late.
For another, there is no PPE anywhere, so they had had to close down all satellite clinics in order to scavenge their PPE. My wife’s clinic had to close because they needed the masks, gloves, and cotton swabs at the hospital. Yep, they shutdown her practice for cotton swabs. That means the few remaining primary sites get flooded with staff. Staff you don’t need until the surge happens.
Finally, because they aren’t doing procedures (surgeries), wellness visits, etc...anymore their income goes to zero. There is a real payroll cash crunch going on in the networks.
So you couldn’t pay the nurses even if you wanted to. Better to put them on unpaid furlough so that they can collect unemployment and then when the surge hits or you get the all clear, you can call them back in.
If you want to watch world wide hospital videos, look at Milan, New York, Guayaquil, Detroit, Albany (GA), New Orleans (in another week or so).
There is a real effort in certain areas of the web to make this all look like it’s no big deal. If you are watching videos of empty hospitals presented as truth this whole thing is overblown, you are watching propaganda.
It is possible that some places were smaller city wise, had not seen a full hit. But the way the msm kept beating the drum that all hell is breaking out and we must have all medical people working non stop.
I posted a few pages back that the USPS has been hurting forever it seems like and they say corona could close them up. Something to ponder on. Not saying by any means that Amazon would make the move, but would Jeff Bezos love to flex and drop some tall coin??

Quoted from Whysnow:Voter fraud simply does not happen in any appreciable level, esp not at the individual level.
The research and data is very clear on this.
Voter suppression on the other hand is very clearly the tactic and main mode of GOP path to office; as clearly stated even this past week by the POTUS and multiple times over by many other GOP. Hell in WI, we were forced to vote in person last week despite Covid and all because of the GOP in control. All a ploy that backfired on them completely and WI folks dont put up for that BS.
In 2018 I was somehow signed up a second time to vote. They could never give me an answer as why , despite already being in the system. I checked all my personal stuff, etc and no red flags....not sure.
Anyone else encounter this at all.?
Quoted from Whysnow:nope never. Did you find it when you showed up to vote and your name was on the roll 2x?
That is part of the job of the poll worker, so you would have never made it through had you attempted to vote a 2nd time.
Oddities can happen, but the point still being that it is so super minor. We really need to stop with this BS line of voter suppression and disenfranchisement.
There is no good reason to not have 100% vote from mail, esp in the current Covid climate!
It was sent to my home. All info was correct, notv sure . Fluke , could be.
Quoted from o-din:I just talked to my mom. In a senior facility in a town with no cases I am aware of, we both agree she is pretty safe. They keep that place clean, and screen all workers everyday. She sounds happy and healthy as well.
I told her it looks like there might be a light at the end of this tunnel.

Quoted from phil-lee:I received an Official Response from Cedars Sinai today. A Cedars-Sinai research team is in the pre-clinical stages of developing a technology that harnesses intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light for treating viruses and bacteria. The technology has not been tested or used on patients. Cedars-Sinai has filed for patents related to the technology and has signed a licensing agreement with Aytu BioScience with the aim of potentially enabling near-term use as a COVID-19 intervention for critically ill, intubated patients.
I believe it is filtered uv(a) light on a fiber optic cable,.
Not sure if this was covered, but you can add a coffee filter (new) to your existing mask. Adds a little more coverage.

I find that people who don't own and respect firearms have a lot of misunderstandings about those that do. - Although I do understand it's a scary look portrayed in those type of pictures.
And with people unemployed and liquor stores still open, I'm glad to have my Glock 26 on me.
More people carrying, the more bad guys have to worry and wonder if their next target is packing and precision trained. Not a scary look at all.

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I definitely hope we keep the curbside service going after this. I'm really enjoying pulling up to stores and having them load my car with my order. It makes it easy to keep supporting them and is significantly more efficient for me as well.
I would rather be able to go in and walk around and gather my supplies, plus there could be extra sales going on not listed on website. You then also know that the expiration dates are still out a few days or so . Eggs , etc damaged, gotta go back . We don't want to be too comfy and spoiled, lazy.
Not saying you or anyone else is lazy..
Quoted from noob-a-tron:Drove past some idiot alone in his car wearing a mask today. Really laughed hard.
I was cutting the yard and saw one person out walking wearing a mask.
Quoted from gweempose:I'm curious to know how many of you are wearing gloves when you do your errands. I've been wearing gloves every time I go someplace where I'll be touching stuff (i.e. grocery store, post office, gas pump, etc...). I also wear gloves when I am sorting through the mail or unboxing packages. I realize that the virus can't be spread through skin absorption, but I find that the gloves help remind me not touch my face. I also feel like once I take the gloves off, there is less potential virus on my hands. Obviously, I still thoroughly sanitize/wash them after.
Just a mask under the new mandated law . Carry a bottle of iso alcohol and towel. Anyone else experience your glasses fogging up while wearing mask, ratger annoying.

How Long Does it Take to Recharge a Car Battery by Driving?
January 27, 2012
1 Comments Email
In order to recharge your car battery while driving you will need to operate the vehicle over 1,000 RPM’s for a sustained period of time. The longer the battery has been dead, the longer it will take to fully recharge it. However, by driving for at least a half an hour at 1,000 RPM’s, you should charge your battery enough that you will be able to restart the vehicle once you turn it off. Driving for an hour, without using the lights, radio or other electrical devices, should fully charge your battery.
Quoted from rwmech5:Heard an interesting take today, all the people working from home making their normal earnings , telling the others who need to get back to work or lose everything should try living on the government subsidy for a couple months. Might gain some insight as to why these protests are happening. If the choice was my family starving or me wearing proper PPE and getting to work I'm going. Seems like a lot of the elites are breaking the lockdown rules. Chris Cuomo, the mayor of Chicago, our genius Prime Minister etc,etc. Lead by example.
Remember Mr. LIghtfoot needs to get a haircut because of "tv appearances".
The government loves us . Do as I say not as I do is their law.

When she was admitted, she tested negative for covid-19. The death certificate has “covid 19” listed as primary cause of death. The hospital will not return his calls with questions about it.
.... and now for a check of the weather. Yup! The sun came up this morning.....
More covid related deaths equals more more money to the hospitals reporting them.
Upto $39,000 for each person on a ventilator. Medicare pays this out....

Quoted from gweempose:Bummer. Sweet Tomatoes is my daughter's favorite restaurant. The one by us closed about five years ago, but we would always look forward to going there when we visit my parents in Florida. I agree that the future for buffets is not looking bright. I'm guessing other chains like Golden Corral won't be far behind. Who in their right mind would let their kid eat from a chocolate fountain these days?
And what's going to happen to Vegas, where buffets are an integral part of the culture? I would think the only way buffets survive is if they change their model and no longer allow the patrons to serve themselves.
I have never eaten at Sweet Tomatos, but Many a time at Golden Coral and another buffet that unfortunately closed years ago. Really hope they don't all go away.
Quoted from wrb1977:I didn’t look at the 66% as good or bad, just interesting. This may have been discussed, do you think central HVAC in some areas of urban living may account for a portion of this high number?
I was just thinking about this. In homes Would some of the particles lodge in the filters, and some be pushed through. Maybe have to change the filters more often.? Not sure about hotels, motels or big apartment complexes .
Quoted from gweempose:Filters don't lose their filtering properties over time. They just become less efficient as the air resistance increases.
I get that, but with a fresh filter installed and a lot of infected people is there a chance for recirculation of the finer particulate? Or if lets say the ducts are somewhat dirty, do they stick to the dirt . Just a thought....

Quoted from albummydavis:Never lived in China, eh? Dont underestimate the surveillance and control of information. True story—when we used to want work or upgrades to our apartment there, which had been previously declined, my wife and I would complain in private to each other and threaten to leave the residence. Viola—the fix or upgrade would be made. We would just look at each other and say, “Do they think we are stupid”. I would be followed around, and people in our neighborhood would quietly tell me they were being questioned about everything I did. Fear, intimidation and monitoring. And now, don’t forget, they’ve implemented a social credit and AI monitoring system that is truly scary. And they are exporting it all over the world, retaining access and control over the data.
So yeah, don’t trust the figures
Can't wait for the social credit score to come to the states. Facebook wants to implement it. Complete control of us. What's next , no cussing . You are fined 1 credit for a violation of the verbal morality statue..

1) Workers must clean and sanitize tables after each use and restrooms every 30 minutes. McDonald's (MCD) recommends using a tracking sheet to document the cleanings.
2) Restaurants don't have to turn on their touch-screen kiosks, but if they do, those screens and key pads have to be cleaned after every use.
3) They'll also have to close self-serve beverage bars.
4) Instead, employees must pour drinks out for customers, preferably using fountains usually designated for the drive-thru.
Gonna be a headache for sure. !
Quoted from screaminr:They announced Aussie rules football will start on June 11th , yay
I hope they let some supporters in or at least put some crowd noises in . Sport sucks with no atmosphere .
Most likely haved noise pumped in. At least some sports are able to get back.
Quoted from MrBally:Plus you get your 25¢ deposit back when you return your cart at Aldi's. Although during this whole coronavirus deal, most stores are waiving the deposit and giving you a "sanitized" cart.
Aldi is the only store I know that cleans them. I make sure to thank them for doing this.
Quoted from Oaken:I’m just going to leave this here:
His hospital maybe picture perfect, but remember the power of the dollar will sway people. Look into black market organ harvesting. I believe Texas and Illinois were busted for this...
Quoted from Jaybird815:My antibody results just came back and I’m negative.
Excellent news.
Quoted from NicoVolta:I am having custom masks made for all of our organizations in this style:

This is important for building trust and showing that we are taking this seriously.

Actually our logo looks pretty cool on these! We will convey a sense of competency and back it up with an actual virus mitigation strategy that works: Continuous forced fresh airflow (the big one), masks on, hands sanitized at entry *and* exit, no eating or drinking inside, limited attendance, timed admission (like a movie matinee), two-machine distance rule.
It’ll be as safe as an indoor space can be, short of an ICU.
Looks good!!
Quoted from cottonm4:Sounds like a hair brain idea.
I agree. Lot of intetesting and strange idea's people come up with. Probably more of an attention getter...
While the company would not comment on sales or volume numbers during the pandemic, the latest Nielsen data found that Americans have spent more than $1.4 billion on toilet paper from Feb. 28 to March 21, according to a Nielsen spokesperson. Last week alone, the U.S. toilet paper category netted more than $378 million and was up 123% from the same week last year, the spokesperson added.
Can't imagine what the grand totals are at this point? Let alone world wide
Quoted from Daditude:I saw this and had to share. This guy has the whole quarantine figured out![quoted image]

Quoted from BillySastard:Easy. People that usually go to the ER for headaches, tummy aches, hangovers and other bullshit are staying home rather than risking being exposed. Hospitals are spending HUGE amounts of money on PPE that they need, as do other hospitals, so they're getting charged alot more from the PPE providers. Also, hospitals are delaying procedures for some patients, so they're not making money there. Lastly, Covid patients cost more to treat then regular patients, so they're losing money there too.
So less ER patients, less procedures, means some hospitals need less nurses to cover. Furloughs.
My wife is an ER nurse and thankfully hasn't been furloughed, but there are nurses at her hospital who have been.
They (hospitals) are also getting big money back once they label the death as covid. Reimbursement if you will....
