Weave

Or Rasmus Ristoleinen.

Going by what’s been done to date, I picked Soupy as well. And Rammer gets the nod here too. Excellent shut down guy with good puck moving skills.

Senility.

Saffron or GTFO. Curious what the inferior substitute was.

I thought I couldn't get any more cynical. There is a fair amount of bias in this video. Not unexpected. They cut off the fuel cell conversation before it got to the real meat and potatoes of it, but what they did show was a correct representation. Greed is killing us, plain and simple.

And dying at an increasing rate. Maybe ignorance is bliss is what you are searching for?

Speaking of Sweden. They aren’t holding up as a gold standard.

I spent a good portion of my career working on hydrogen fuel cell technology. Highly touted as green energy, It was follow the money there too. Heavily gov't subsidized (by a Republican no less). Had big oil support too (hey, someone has to supply those hydrogen molecules). I'll watch it. Would not be surprised if Dems were in a follow the money game. The primary difference between Democrat and Republican these days is which industry is important to you (aside from the whole openly courting racists thing of recent).

How many people do you know that are actually isolated though? The number of "essential businesses" open way exceeds what you can honeslty define as actually essential if we are being honest. So a really high percentage of people are still going in to work. I know in my household, I've been more or less sheltered for goin on 6 weeks now, but my wife is in the office every week day. Therefore, we aren't really sheltered. Even though we've avoided unnecessary outings, there is no way to know if she was exposed on say, Thursday, while at work. Then on Friday we hitch up the camper and head to the campgrounds, interact with the person taking money and dealing with reservations at the campground office, use the campground bathroom during our stay, etc. It's not a stretch to see where camping scenarios lead to transmission. For the record, I feel the same way about boat launches and marinas. When the marina closures were announcing the fishing community went ballistic. The primary argument being, I'm on a boat in the middle of the water with my household family members and you can't get any safer. And what do I see on social media yesterday and today? Fishing pics with groups of grown men, obviously not household members, and group pics in boat launch lots. Yeah. You wanna get that ***** closed back down? Keep doing what you are doing and get this virus on the uptick again.

You have a risk taking personality. Your everyday life shows that you are comfortable with risk. That is the difference in perspective here.

The big issue (at least for me) is that, as a person of working age and otherwise healthy, how do I reduce my risk when I am told we are going back to normal? I'm not immuno-suppressed. My underlying condition that puts me at greater risk for the worst of this disease is shared by millions of other people who are also otherwise healthy. So I go into the risk pool when it is decided to flip this switch back on, but the risks aren't the same for me. I wouldn't be in the class of people that we think of as needing protection like the elderly or those with suppressed immune systems.

I'll watch another time. One of the subjects that led me away from the Republican party is their full denial of our effects on the environment and global warming as a party platform. In my opinion it is a stance based solely on short term shareholder effects and energy company influence. Not unlike the push to re-open the economy ASAP. Democrats don't have a great track record here either. It's not like they've pushed with much effort for meaningful change. Corporate dollars has influenced the Dems as well. But at least its in their policy discussions and party platform.

Yup. Much closer to domestic terrorists.

My wife was given some face masks made by an elderly lady who is giving them out to everyone she knows. One of them is a print of $100 bills. We ordered food tonight from a restaurant owned by friends of ours. They are about 30 yrs old. I walked in wearing the $100 bill mask and she says, "nice mask". I reply with "dolla dolla bill y'all". She busts out laughing saying she did not expect that from me. Wu Tang Clan ain't nuthin to ***** with.

Still waiting for mainstream media to report this. If accurate, Will be interesting to see how this changes NK.

Pretty sure that was his intent 6 posts ago.

From what I understand, the greatest risk factors for the worst of this disease are high blood pressure, obesity, heart issues, and diabetes. That may not be a majority of people, but it isn't an overwhelming majority that aren't in one of those groups. That's a ton of folks.

I've got an underlying condition that has me a bit freaked out about this whole thing. Nothing has gotten my dander up in a long time like hearing folks that are Ok with the risks to bring some normalcy back. It's hit the point where I need to filter what I read/see. I'm getting downright angry with folks that are OK with the risk. I'm not OK with it.

I got out of the house today and hit the lake. Didn't catch a damned thing, but man did it feel good. Hearing the loons from across the lake was a bonus. Their call is just magic. I'll be on the water again tomorrow. Need. More. Medicine.

There is no depth before there is a good team on the ice first. It would have to be the right player at the right position, but I would do it. Who's got a good 2C, 24-27 yrs old, on a team with cap issues? Could we move the 1st rd pick for a goalie? What would that look like?

i didn't see the video, but from what little I've read it sure sounded like a blatant statement that Democrat leaning states would be treated differently than Republican leaning states. And if accurate, that's just plain bull *****. We're all Americans.

In all fairness, LGR4GM is pretty self winding.

Interesting (to me anyway) article about how different countries are reacting to this outbreak. The point the author makes is an interesting one, that countries using technology to track people’s movements are having to enact less draconian measures than countries not tracking movement and contacts. The end result is that countries not tracking movement are forced to use more freedom diminishing methods to control the rate of infections than countries using methods we would consider depriving of freedoms. The forest for the trees, maybe? https://www.city-journal.org/covid-19-and-technology

PT Barnum had a saying about people like this. You sure as hell can complain about something without knowing what the fix is. You can complain about the quality of food in a restaurant without knowing a damned thing about cooking. You can complain about issues you are having with your car without knowing how to design the fix. You can complain about air flights being chronically late without knowing how to schedule flights. And the way you get all these things fixed is by voting with your feet and wallet. Loss of demand for a product is a wonderful motivator of businesses.
