I guess if a video game protagonist is a different race from yourself you can never play that game then, ok?

Can you even make a game where the characters are a different race?

Yeah we shouldnt believe doctors

Especially since that seems to be a known issue with the testing.

Ugh, I hate those. I had one on my eyelid that I had to get surgery on. Getting shots of novocaine in your eyelid is not fun.

Restructuring and work on nationwide telecommunications, to ease the strain on ISPs internet service since theyre throttling everyone to give internet to all.

Rework on healthcare and paid sick time.

You are a very optimistic person.

I'd be happy if people just washed their hands more.

Well Trump basically declared himself king last night, so, yes.

He's been doing that since he took office though, he didn't need a disaster for that. I'm less inclined to think that is him grabbing for more power and more just that he has no idea how the presidency actually works.

I was worried about that here, we've had bands of nasty storms rolling through most of the day, but it seems like we are finally done with them.

Mostly this hidden gem tex mex place in my neighborhood. Family owned place and nestled between two appartment complexes in a otherwise non-commercial area. I have Neighbors who lived in walking distance of it for years and never knew it was there. Gotta make sure places like that stay afloat.

I wouldn't really classify that as 'fast food'.

I had an old friend I haven't seen since high school posting conspiracy theory bullshit on Facebook. I asked him how exactly the government asking people to stay home and for businesses to close helps the government gain power, and he unfriended me without responding.

There you go applying logic.

Well I guess I'm getting back into Magic

There are several Toho inspired alternate card arts for Ikoria. https://www.dailyesports.gg/toho-monsters-variant-art-magic-the-gathering-ikoria-lair-of-behemoths-spoilers-godzilla/

Around 35k for town, 830k for county.

Our's hasn't landed yet. Money towards our new heater....when they are actually allowed to come out and install one.

I played South Park 64...it actually wasn't all that terrible. I mean it wasn't great by any stretch, but it wasn't Superman 64 bad . Granted I spent most of the time playing the multiplayer game and don't really remember a ton about the single player part.

"Whats the charge for getting thrown out of a moving car? Jaywalking?"

Except the government really isn't doing much of anything and what they are doing is tanking the economy, which isn't helping them exert any more control.

It actually really concerns me that there are people who actually genuinely un-ironically think this is caused by 5G.

There were already 5G conspiracy theories before coronavirus started, this is just kind of riding on the coattails.

Firewerx posted...

You've misunderstood the surreal logic of the inverted, parallel universe inside the head of the conspiracy fantasist.

These people don't believe something because facts support it. They believe something, and then they try their hardest to twist everything into a "fact" that somehow supports their belief -- even if it directly contradicts it.

I'm sure their logic for that one is that $100 million is pocket change for Bill and that is just part of his cover.

I'm sure this branched off from the 'vaccines are evil' camp and this is some plot to force vaccinations on people, just like every mass shooting is staged so that the Democrats can steal all their guns.

There are a lot of seasonal places that are going to take a beating this summer. At least Cedar Point and Six Flags are relatively large companies, there are smaller places that are probably going to have a hard time surviving being closed for the majority of the season.

What the fuck? And I just looked it up too and it's real. Why are people stupid

Even better, most of the towers that have been attacked are regular LTE towers because 5G is practically non-existent in the first place.

Im surprised he didnt get any because of Windows 10.

I was going to comment that he was long gone from Microsoft by Windows 10, but given the current situation I realized that really wouldn't matter.

Zacek posted...

People are nuts. They hate him only because is famous and rich.

The funny thing is, he is primarily famous in recent years for giving away huge chunks of his fortune.

There is also the fact that a lot more people played FF15 than Hollow Knight, at least based on copies sold, so a lot of people probably just voted for the game they'd actually played.

LeetCheet posted...

I saw comments about people being glad about more people finally waking up.

These are real actual people posting these comments. People truly are getting dumber.

SMH

I mean, people are setting cell towers on fire because '5G created the coronavirus' so nothing really surprises me at this point. We have truly come back around to the dark ages.

Gratz. I've still got 8 years to go.

FrozenBananas posted...

Yes of course, we learned about it in school.

That's interesting because I'm pretty sure we didn't cover it in school and I was pretty surprised the first time I came across a reference to it.

Yes, I'd see reference to it while reading and watching stuff about World War 1 but it was probably only in the last 5 or so years that I'd read any significant amount about it specifically.

Biden, but that is less an endorse of Biden and more a statement that I would vote from almost anything ahead of Trump.

Doesn't radiation kill cells indiscriminately?

At some levels, but not at the levels they are talking about in the paper. They aren't using the radiation to kill the virus, they are using it to provoke an anti-inflammatory response in the lungs.

The paper is talking about treating acute cases that have progressed to pneumonia, the same people that would currently require ventilators.

Gladiator maybe. I had to go back pretty far before I found movies I'd even seen.

Side note: I didn't know that the original Rocky won Best Picture against All the President's Men, Network and Taxi Driver.

I think anyone who is asymptotic or survived it is already vaccinated.

Well yes, vaccines are just dead or weakened versions of the virus, so if you've had the real deal then you'd get the same result just with higher risk.

They should pardon Walter White :V

Now I want to see someone pitch that to Trump on Twitter to see if he bites.

'Now, I don't even know exactly what he was charged with ... I watched the show, but it was like, I don't know exactly what he was guilty of or wasn't,' Trump Jr. said. 'It doesn't seem like he was totally innocent of anything. But when they're saying, "We're putting this guy away for 30 years," I'm saying that seems sort of aggressive.'

What the fuck is this?

Translation: "Like most issues, I have no real idea what is going on here but it seems like it will play well on social media."

Mead posted...

what are you talking about

I assume the implication was if you are dead you won't be infected.

ScritchOwl posted...

Whats your definition of success. I mean right now 2 grams of lead will end a infection

That wouldn't really fall under the category of success for a vaccine, since they don't treat an infection.

Got me beat. My wife and I tip on the high side for delivery and refer to it as our lazy tax, but we're generally closer to 50%.

We've mostly been cooking, but we've ordered once or twice from local places.

DocDelicious posted...

Yeah that's basically the path I followed with my skills too. The extra XP is definitely worth it, especially with the war board quests. Leveling up is slow later in the game.

That second area was an absolute brick wall for me until the recent difficulty changes. I'd constantly get wrecked by the big bots and their endless supply of missiles. I'd go through 300-400 rounds just trying to take out one of them and have nothing left to finish the fight.

Yeah, there is a massive spike in the difficulty as you move to the second area. First area you can largely avoid the packs that are tough to fight and the individuals aren't bad. Second area you immediately run into the hunters and a lot of times they are sitting on or near objectives you need to visit.

No. Since I'm the only one that uses them as long as I'm washing my hands consistently I'm not really worried about objects inside my own home.

"The other manner of spread is by asymptomatic infected people simply breathing, talking, yelling or singing. These activities aerosolize virus, creating airborne virus particles also called droplet nuclei that are so tiny they can float around in the air for three hours."

I was going to suggest the sous vide egg bites, but apparently the duo doesn't have the sous vide function.

We've only had ours a few weeks so we are still figuring out the best things to cook in it.

Have to give another vote to KH. The first game is still my favorite in the series.

argonautweakend posted...

yeah the first one

Oh, yeah you can just wash that. When people say mask I generally assume they are talking about paper masks.

Almost anything that gets that smell out would destroy a mask probably.

You would be incorrect, Easter is next week. Of course I only know this because I Googled it when my wife was complaining about the Easter event in Animal Crossing.

I honestly don't know since I've only gone out to the grocery store a few times over the last couple weeks and then it was at odd times so I don't know how many people would normally be there.

Wish I had the option to sell time back, I can only carry 40 hours over to the next year so I'm always scrambling to take time towards the end of the year to avoid losing it. (Mostly because my boss nags me about losing vacation time.)

How exactly can they determine it wasn't made in a lab? Is it really impossible to remove traces of synthesis in future generations of a virus? If it was made in a lab, I doubt they released it intentionally since it hasn't really helped any country. Is kinda scary to think that something like this could be made in a lab.

The stuff bio-weapons labs used to work on was way scarier than this. Starting from things like smallpox, Ebola and Anthrax.

The tricky part isn't the mechanics of it, it's regulating the composition of air you're delivering and also making sure that air remains as clean as possible. Hypothetically, you could just plug a set of bellows into a breathing tube, shove that down your throat, and use that as a ventilator, but you'd risk mold growth and dust accumulation in the air you're pumping in there, and you'd be limited to the 20-22% oxygen found in regular air. Shove a filter in the intake and run the breathing tube through a strong UV light, and maybe you'd be getting somewhere.

I would assume it requires fairly precise control over how much air you are pushing into someone's lungs.

keyblader1985 posted...

Hell yes. Especially if monsterism is a side effect.

If any infected people volunteer, they certainly should get priority. Otherwise I'm up for it.

If you are already infected there isn't a lot of point in getting the vaccine. I assume DPsx7 was referring more towards people in high risk groups, people in health care, essential jobs, elderly, existing conditions, etc...For a vaccine trial some of those risk groups would probably be excluded.

If you sneeze/cough into your elbow then you will be carrying those germs with you around for a while and spread it around a lot farther.

If you sneeze/cough into your hand then you can just immediately wash your hands.

Unless your are in a place where you can't conveniently wash your hands right away, in which case you are wandering around touching things with hands you've sneezed on.

How hard would it be to build your own home made iron lung?

You are talking about a device that is essentially inflating and deflating your lungs directly...I'd rather leave that to professionals.
