What a bitch.
Even though I try not to, I spend way too much time sitting on my rear. Sadly the walls have slowly closed in, Homestead is now take out only, and we have to fend for ourselves on a weekend, much less the next two weeks. So instead of working in the garden on this glorious day, I’m sitting on the patio, smoking a cigar, drinking beer and writing links. 40 year old me is disgusted.
Am I wrong to think that there could be a silver lining with this whole global flu panic? I can see the potential for several positives coming from this “catastrophe”.
Gaia and the big tease.
Seriously, I would have put my money on France.
You know why I don’t count my steps? This is why I don’t count my steps.
See ya later, Kenny. This young man did a great cover of your classic.
You know who else was a big tease?
Winston’s Mom?
It’s not teasing if you follow through with it.
Ross Perot?
The jiggle on that ass is hypnotic.
You know how you poke a steak to find out if it’s the perfect medium rare? That jiggle is the perfect mix of muscle and cushion.
This guy gets it.
Yes it is. I never get tired of it.
That is my favorite first GIF.

There’s an argument about this?
I’m sorry, did you say something?
Not among the sane.

Yaaaasss!
“”If they don’t change the state statute to allow for an all-mail election system for the primary and general election this year, they should be shot, because that’s the only common sense thing to do,” Herstam, a former state lawmaker and university regent, said on the “Arizona Horizon” show.””
Common sense like Common sense gun control.
It ain’t tarded if they’re serious. And I think they’re serious.
We always knew that the gun control crowd’s “You cant be trusted with guns” is projection. There it is in spades.
all-mail
I thought he meant something different.
they should be shot
Always violence with leftists.
That’s a very specific reason to not count your steps.
The headline was all I needed.
My steps can only be counted in complex numbers.
imaginary numbers?
How long before yous all just start going on with your regular lives? The Feds here are floating trial balloons about invoking the Emergencies Act, which apparently allows the government to do pretty much what they want to you. I don’t like it at all.
My problem with all those wanting to rebel by going about their lives as normal and defying the ‘stay in’ orders is that I never get out anyway. Can I say I am rebelling if I just stay in like I normally do anyway?
But we could come to you! What do you want from the liquor store / butcher?
To be left the fuck alone.
Well, that and there’s no place to go. Can’t go out to eat, can’t go play pool, can’t go to the pub, can’t go to the movies…
I was bitching about this friday. “If we get a shelter in place how is that going to change my life? I shelter in place every weekend but that is because I hate people!”
This guy gets it.
I shelter in place every weekend but that is because I hate people!
///metoo
My neighbors have a full blown shindig going on with about 15 people. Appears to be a gender reveal party.
As in a naked party?
Fortunately not
Gender reveal as in mental illness? Or as in ultrasound?
Technically, it should be called a “sex reveal party”, but that sounds naughty.
Funny how sex reveal parties lead to other sex reveal parties.

“Hard to believe someone would call for violence against officials they disagree with during this crisis,” he wrote on Twitter. “But that’s what this columnist did—saying the AZ Gov & Legislators ‘should be shot’ if he doesn’t get his way.”
“There must be accountability,” Scalise added.
Accountability in what context? Losing his job? I’m okay with that, but I hope to hell that most people here don’t think the man should be criminally liable for making that statement, given our love of woodchippers and all.
Here’s a novel idea. When someone says somehing hyperbolic and stupid how about we just mock them and then leave them alone?
^^THIS.
Or beat them over the head later when they start whining about gun control.
That works for me too. Just saying that if his employer decided to can his ass over it I wouldn’t care.

Last night we rented Richard Jewell. Great movie by the way. Too bad about Clint Eastwood siding with Republicans sometimes, because that likely resulted in this movie not getting the accolades it should have. The actors were all great, especially Sam Rockwell and the guy who played Jewell, and it was the best directing job by Eastwood in quite a while. The reason I bring up the movie in this particular thread is that one of the early parts is Richard and his mother (played well by Kathy Bates) attend a Kenny Rogers concert in the same plaza where the bomb exploded later in the Olympics. Eery to see he passed right around the same time we were streaming the flick.

SMU chicks: not worth it !
You’ve been warned, repeatedly.
Drudge had a scary headline this morning on how 1 person is dying every hour in NY from CV (yet there’s only 56 deaths total there, go figure). There have been 1600 hospitalizations which seems like a blip in a city of that size and hardly some great strain on their resources. You have officials from New Jersey spreading pant shitting fear by claiming that we are all going to be infected.
How much time has to pass before we can call these “experts” out for being flat out wrong?
The NIH is predicting 70,000 cases by next week. I call bullshit on that, too.
Yea, lady. It’s destiny. The people of New Jersey are so lucky to have you.
By ‘flat wrong’ you mean lying, right?
I’m actually surprised as this likely. Most people think this craziness is going stop the virus.
The only thing this quarantine is going to do is slow its spread. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but few politicians are explaining it in these terms.
In terms of cost versus benefit I think it is crazy stupid in my opinion.
flat out wrong
I am assuming malice over ignorance on this one.
In an interview on a local PBS station, Democratic pundit Chris Herstam said the state’s Republican governor and legislature “should be shot” if they refuse to modify Arizona’s election processes.
What was that about the violence coming from the Left?
On Friday the government banned the last types of outdoor exercise Italians were able to participate in under the lockdown measures by deciding that running and bicycle rides were no longer permitted.
In addition, the Italian military has also been dispatched to Milan to ensure that citizens follow the new lockdown measures.
WTF?
Firefighters in England were called to “save the bacon” Saturday after a pig sparked a fire in its pen by swallowing a pedometer which then combusted “after nature had taken its course,” officials said.
Thank you for saving that tasty, tasty bacon.
They didnt show up with hoses, they showed up with knives and forks.
No. Only an elitist would want bananas in Chicago grocery stores in February.
I thought they were grown in east Atlanta these days.
Ah, that’s why they are telling me this at the supermarket.
?
I saw that movie. Woody Harrelson knew how to go!
Great Moments in Cinema!
“The pedometers, gadgets that measure the number of steps its wearer takes, were worn by the pigs to prove they were free-range, the fire service said.”
Because pigs can read numbers?
His name was Colin.
Much better than they can read words. They need spiders to help with that.
Everyone always forgets Templeton
That’ll do, pig.
That is a great cover of “The Gambler”.
Huzzah! One temporary benefit of everything being shut down is the breweries are hand delivering their beers to thirsty people. Just had a six pack of Strange Magic, a six pack of Head Hunter, and a crowler of Wolfgang Red Wheat delivered to me. The beer fridge is full, the supplies have been delivered to brew beer tomorrow. I’ve got no work on the calendar until Monday, and the only other thing I have to do tonight is roast coffee for tomorrow morning.
Very nice.
I’m hoping both the local brewpub and the Irish pub reopen for takeout. There’s a possibility the brewpub will, but I doubt the Irish pub will.
Just cracked the red wheat. Nice cracker and sweet aroma, cloudy/opaque with a caramel color, very little head. Probably should have sat in the fridge a little longer, but it’s chilled enough at the present. Nice sweetness balanced by some nice complexity. Too bad it’s only on tap…
I’m going to open the Honey Red from the nanobrewery. 32 oz crowler, so I’ll have to finish all myself. The horror.
If I really want to do damage to myself, one of the local bars is offering growler refills at $15 for any craft beer. They have Mad Elf on tap. They also say $5 fills for “domestics”… there’s a chance that Yuengling may qualify as that.
/does some quick math
That’s comes close to the record for cheap Lager.
A place near where I grew up had cases of Lager for $17 and change.
The place where I went to watch the Browns lose this year usually had Lager on special at $2-3 a pint. So it was a nice spacer after several $4 pints of 7%+ craft beer. I may give them a call tomorrow and see if they will do $5 growler fills for Lager. They’ve got a decent walleye fish fry for Fridays that I can pick up next week as well.
Walleye fish fry? Yummy.
DEG:
Here you go. It’s a bit of a drive for you though…
Oh my.
DEG:
I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t consider one of my 5 gallon kegs or my 6 gallon carboys as:
Well, you could take it in and find out.
That seems cruel to a restaurant that’s probably struggling to get by in the present climate. It would be entertaining though, and would make even a $15 fill of Lager beat your record. 🙂
That seems cruel to a restaurant that’s probably struggling to get by in the present climate.
Yeah, on second thought.
When I bought the two crowlers from the nanobrewery, all the guy did was pull them out of a fridge.
$25. I gave him $30 and told him to keep it.
Damn. Mad Elf is good, and that’s a great price.
“…very little head…”
Uggggh, don’t remind me :^(
Thank you to the Glibs who posted the link to the Medium article on COVID-19 in the last thread. It was enlightening.
Just don’t wade into the comments.
Thankfully the medium comment system makes that difficult.
Browsing with Brave, so scripts are blocked by default. No comments unless I spare the clicks.
I shared it with another online group I frequent, where pant-shitting and calls for martial law abound. It wasn’t well received.
Could ya repost it so I don’t have to dig through 500 comments to find it?

Thanks
I found the Latitude/climate chart interesting. Hell, it was all interesting.
Great article. I’m astonished Medium published it.
They’ve pulled it.
Well. That’s… interesting.
By interesting to you mean disheartening but not in any way surprising? You know, the feeling anyone sane gets constantly when reading what our betters, the Top Men, plan to do about virtually any situation that arises. The one that goes, imagine if you will the most ineffective, yet expensive, response that curtails individual liberty without providing any benefit I would ever take advantage of, while providing maximum additional red tape and kafkaesque misery.
I just mean the “we publish anything” blurb they had above that article when I read it this afternoon isn’t as accurate as they portray.
I reserve judgement on the actual content of the article.
Archive to the rescue.
Thanks DEG. I want to share that with my sister who is a doctor watching too much news right now. I had the other link saved and it disappeared.

Thanks anyway
“counting steps” I counted 36 holes today, I finished about ten minutes ago, there is talk of Martial Law coming to AZ, Yikes..
Do you use 1, 2, or all 3 holes per woman?
3, who wouldn’t? I ended up shooting 30, there was one Gal who watched me play and par 2 holes, she wants to play…..
Airtight.
Talk of Martial Law is actually pretty normal in AZ.
Well we’re still open for business so I’ll chill and see,
We’re going to a housewarming party. There will be alcohol to kill any germs.
Uh oh… sudden mandatory work meeting-call.
Someone has the virus or is being fired/furloughed.
Hopefully it’s not me!
Maybe you’re being transitioned to work from home (if that hasn’t happened already). Or your company has a lead on what DeWine is closing next.
Thanks for the links spud. I just noticed this about your bio:

CORE 4: Stay at home order happening on Tuesday
I hope the people of Kansas City give them a collective fuck off. This is insanity.
SFing links happens long before Tuesday, however.
I got your back, LJW: KC Metro stay at home order
Thank you
In related news, the Missouri governor is being flogged by the online pants-shitters for “not doing enough“, which apparently means martial law to them.
Looks like I may be heading a county or two North of KC for awhile. Maybe go by my mother’s and get my pistol since I’m up that way.

Never too late for some green beer you hoodlums.
The only way a beer should be green is if it’s mit Woodruff.
Not a bad collection.
For those of you in the UK, I’m sorry. I don’t think things are going much better here in most of the US.
Usually a quiet night at home shooting darts, drinking and spinning records with the woman would be a great night. Minute some asshole tells me I can’t go to a bar, and all of a sudden I’m stir crazy.
Yes. I am normally home, but now it’s making me crazy.
I am watching lawrence of Arabia and a question popped into my mind. Anyone here know why the sheath of a janbiya (dagger) hooks up in a j shape? The blade is not curved to match and it just seems odd.
To keep the sheath from slipping out of the belt?
I like that.
Most of the ones I’ve seen curve. But maybe it’s not crazy to have a sheath that doesn’t necessarily match your blade anyway: you do the best you can in combat, in a desert.
The blades curve but the sheathe extends several further inches beyond the blade, and frequently curves up in a j hook. DenverJ’s theory may be the answer, I just was wondering if anyone knew for sure. Hell it may just be to look pretty.
Because the prop master at 20th Century Fox/Pinegrove/wherever doesn’t care what dagger goes with what sheath. Movie prop. Not history or logic.
No, Jambiya sheaths are like that.
It’s ornamental. Just like curled/pointy-toed shoes don’t reflect the shape of the feet.
due to magma trapped underneath the surface
Not for long.
That would be one way to end the Covid-19 hysteria.
That is a bit worrisome. Of course it could be a thousand years before it blows….or it could move to another location.
@NotAdhan
I was alerted to the fact that you answered my request for clarification in the last thread. Thank you. As for most of it, I’ll let MS fight his own battles, but I do want to comment on your statement “treating coronavirus as if it is a potential threat on par with a bullet, Ebola, rabies, measles or polio”. In the thought experiment, let’s say you are one in of the groups in which Tom Hanks Disease can have serious effects – e.g., the elderly, the asthmatic, the obese, etc.., and someone knowingly spreads the diseases by refusing to quarantine him or herself. The question is, if this person infects you and you die, is that person guilty of something of reckless manslaughter? Clearly, the argument could be made that such behavior was wanton and reckless and endangered someone with fatal consequence. Now, I’m not 100 percent sold on that reasoning, but when I originally posed the question in the telepathic hive mind the Founders share, MS did make the analogy of negligent discharge of a firearm. I don’t think the analogy between a virulent pathogen and a bullet is too out in left field.
For what it’s worth, I think if you do belong to one of those groups, the burden is on you to avoid contact with the infected by self-quarantining. Just like I avoid smoky nightclubs due to my asthma, as opposed to lobbying for a law to make them all smoke-free.
Where the hell are they still smoking in nightclubs? 1997?
I suspect Thailand didn’t jump on that bandwagon.
Bangkok.
Was there any that were not smoking allowed? I have never been in one. Last time there 2015.
It is not too far out in left field but what is the metric for ‘reckless behavior’? We will all likely contract this virus at some point so how do we decide who gave it to whom and what was reckless and what was inadvertent?
If someone sneaks up on an 80 year old and spits on them….I have no problem with sanctions if it is obviously deliberate but that is not going to happen very often. Most of the time it will be pretty fuzzy.
According to our legal eagles, it’s acting without any thought of consequence. From what I understand, negligence is defined legally on a sliding scale, so reckless is like you were not only negligence, but you didn’t even give a fuck about what would happen from your lack of concern. When you are so reckless that you are endangering others’ lives, and you do so knowingly, that’s even higher on the scale.
So the original question was, by that metric, is defying a quarantine order after having been diagnosed with a communicable disease that could be fatal if caught willful, wanton, and reckless conduct? And if so, does that conduct violate the NAP? If it does, what would be a principled response under the NAP?
I have argued in the past that firing a gun wantonly in public is a definite violation and I stand by it.
“defying a quarantine order after having been diagnosed with a communicable disease that could be fatal if caught” I am going to agree that it is a violation. As to the response it should be proportional. If someone dies I would have no problem with prison time. Someone gets sick and recovers? I would say civil action.
Problems of proof make any judicial solution difficult, perhaps impossible.
The more I think about this the more I am uncertain of my thoughts. Whose to say the test they have is accurate? What if it is a false positive. What if the state is intentionally pushing false positives? I do not think that is the case here, probably, but I would not rule that out in the future if it gets them to an end they desire. *looks at roll of tinfoil*
If a person tests positive and is showing symptoms, ya, you should have the decency to self quarantine. As I said before, that goes for even the common flu in what used to be normal times. It is just polite behavior.
https://sph.nus.edu.sg/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-19-Science-Report-Diagnostics-13-Mar.pdf
See Appendix A Table 1 for current tests and Table 2 for forthcoming tests. There isn’t a singular test and a variety of places are trying to develop faster/more accurate testing.
Whooaaaa there, that is a bunch of big words for cocktail hour. No way I could decipher that at this point. All I know is in my local we have National Guard roaming town to town testing 100 people at a time. To collect data. Which I guess is good, sort of, other than it is the fucking National Guard. My folks just told me an older family member was suspect and got tested on Wed. She got the results today. (negative) So three days to process a swab. I posted a link earlier and seems CO is struggling to process tests. I am not sure why but my fall back at times like these is government failure and not letting the private sector take a lead. Which is what our Governor excels in in spite of him coming from the private sector.
Sorry. Please continue with drinking. I will join in.
*clink* ? Next time you roll through the state we will have to get together and let DJ kick our asses at pool again.
Yeah. I also think libertarians get a bit hung up on all agression means free range to respond with violent and overwhelming force. You could trespass on my front lawn, and in libertopia that wouldn’t mean I could blow you away. I think proportionality has a place within the NAP.
I think proportionality has a place within the NAP.
Agreed.
It is a reducto ad absurdum argument, it was meant to be.
That is the purpose of such an argument, to immediately take the logic to its ultimate conclusion. If it doesn’t follow logically in its most extreme circumstance, it probably won’t in an innocuous circumstance.
Even in your trespassing analogy. If simply asking to leave isn’t enough and the guy drops his pants and shits on your lawn instead of leaving, your property rights are then backed by what? A proportional response is best, but eventually it escalates to force.
I wasn’t meaning to be critical of anyone here. I was making the argument that such situations would be much finer dealt with. It may well be that knowingly spreading a disease is a NAP violation and that forceful confinement could be Overkill.
I hear you, but I have to respond somewhere and yours seemed like the best place.
If the smell of peanuts triggers your allergies, stay off the airplane. We want our nuts back.
“We want our nuts back.”
Indeed we do.
I would agree with that reasoning.
However, that’s not the scenario I was objecting to. If someone trips and spills peanuts on me, I don’t have the right after the fact to put a cap in his ass because I might have had an undiagnosed peanut allergy.
What I wrote:
Which means I do NOT think shooting a guy that sneezed on you is warranted. Believe it or not, we might actually agree on that.
The rest is a rant fueled mostly by insomnia coupled with temporary anemia. Quit hating on the Asians in the community because they happen to look like the people that screwed the pooch on this one.
If thats rapidly moving goalposts, fine, you got me.
Yes, starting off with a discussion about the limits of the NAP, shifting to “goddamn I hate racists, DAE hate racists?” as if one has anything to do with the other is in fact moving goalposts. Thank you for admitting it. I really would prefer not dragging potential drama between threads. If you really need to tell me how stupid I am, SP can give you my email address.
Yeah, and what I objected to was eliding from “contagious person” to “Asian” as if that was a completely logical and sane thing that “we” would do. I mean if your baseline assumption is everyone is a flaming racist, you build different arguments than if you assume otherwise.
I objected to was eliding from “contagious person” to “Asian”
You haven’t noticed casual racism with regards to Asians and coronavirus on the internet?
if that was a completely logical and sane thing that “we” would do.
You realize not everyone reading here comments, right? No, YOU may not do that, but somebody out there might.
You’re eliding again.
No, I have not noticed casual racism towards Koreans, Laotians, Japanese, Thais or Vietnamese on the internet in re: coronavirus.
Casual racism on the internet is so ubiquitous and omnidirectional that the only limit to the casual racism (or other outgroup-hatred) I’ve witnessed is the result of my not being fluent enough in the languages spoken where the racism is expressed. I’m sure on Sami message boards there is all sorts of anti-Finn racism, and racism towards ethnic groups that I have yet to learn the existence of. It is so non-unique that calling attention to it is a fully generalizable argument that proves literally everything in the universe simultaneously and is therefore kind of pointless.
Let me spell it out.
Bolo Yeung is a Chinese man.
Bolo Yeung is a Chinese man being equated with Coronavirus.
If you haven’t seen that meme, or any of the similar memes related to that scene from Bloodsport, I can’t help you, I’m not going to find anymore for you. They’re out there.
If you haven’t experienced casual racism directed at you. Fine, I have. Casual racism enables actual racism, which I define by adding violence to the ideology.
NAP has plenty to do with racism. One can be racist against me, you, the Finns, Bolo Yeung, Dallas Cowboys fans, it doesn’t matter if they aren’t acting violently on its behalf. Government is tangental to culture, and if people are willing to allow violence on one person because of fear of a contagion, a contagion they equate with a particular group, they might just be okay with that given there are idiots out there that acted violently towards Asians recently. Recent events I did link to.
You’re free to agree or disagree with how I got from one concept to the other.
Mexicans aren’t people.
I would have put my money on France.
To start shit they can’t finish?
French authorities impounded two lorries carrying some 130,000 masks to health workers in Britain’s embattled hospitals, following President Emmanuel Macron’s pledge to “requisition” all stocks in his territory.
The move followed hot on the heels of French border guards seizing another heavy goods vehicle carrying hand sanitiser to Britain the day before. The incidents triggered a diplomatic spat between the two countries as Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) struggles against the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
“On Tuesday night, French authorities stopped the hand sanitiser and confiscated the lot,” a British government source confirmed to The Sun.
“On Wednesday night, it was lorries full of FFP3 face masks to protect staff.”
Another source in Whitehall tried to play down the incidents, however, claiming both were “dealt with relatively quickly.”
“There is a clear understanding between countries that only a united approach will tackle the public health emergency all countries face,” they suggested, adding that the mask seizure “appears to have been a misunderstanding, [and] we’re confident it won’t happen again.”
Sure…
Stupid question… who do these items belong to?
It’s France so something something I am the state, something something let them eat cake
Just like provincial and subprovincial authorities in China did….
Any takers on state and local governments not doing that here?
Welp, my school district is out till April 24.
I’m guessing prom will be canceled, which is kind of good because of the crisis over the non-fitting oh-so-cute shoes. If I could wear heels, I’d be tempted to get those for myself, but I still wouldn’t, because it would make XX very sad and angry.
Damn. That make five weeks for your kids out of school?
One of my nephews birthdays is in the next couple of weeks. I feel for his parents trying to explain why he probably won’t be able to have a party.
Including spring break (this past week), it’s 6.
XX’s bday is in the summer and her 1/2 bday is during Christmas break. She doesn’t get one either way.
XY’s bday is during Christmas break and her 1/2 bday is during summer. He also doesn’t get one either way.
They’re also a bit older, my nephew is still pre-teen. The older one’s birthday is about a month later, so hopefully things calm down by then. But then there’s going to be some bitching and whining little kids. My birthday is between both of theirs, but I’m usually in Vegas for Viva during it…
The straps are always a dead giveaway.
Yep, at this point I assume that it’s gonna be online classes for the duration of the school year.
Unless you’re in Baja Washington and the state education department thinks equality and access for all is more important than educating kids. Of course, most parents won’t step up and do their jobs.
Why can’t you wear heels?
a) they hurt
b) I’m too fat and it hurts
c) I only wear Birks because everything else hurts
Love that one-shouldered dress.

But there was no pineapple deepdish creamy carbonara?
Hey, my carba….Suthenboy sauce…..turned out beautifully. Very tasty and perfect consistency.
Phrasing????
Me on cooking. Red meat should bleed. Cream is always called for. A splash of sherry is usually not a mistake. Garlic is good. Less capsaicinusually equals more flavor.
Much simpler rules:
Everything can be made better by the addition of garlic or chocolate.
Most things being cooked/baked can be improved with the correct beer (either to pair with it, or to be used in the cooking process).
Get a copy of the Flavor Bible
Yes to the Flavour Bible. I have a few other favourites, but I won’t bore anybody.
According to several sources, there are three reasons why home-cooked meals do not consistently outperform restaurant meals: (1) not enough heat, (2) not enough salt, and (3) not enough butter.
Won’t bore anybody? Here, with a self selected collection of cooks and bakers, who (some of) are stuck at home for the foreseeable future?
I’d say instead of not enough heat, not using heat correctly (I’ve seen too many things with burned outsides and raw centers cooked by the girlfriend). And for not enough butter, just not enough fat.
The paperback cost more than the hardcover?
Means it is out of print.
Means the paperbacks are printed in Canada and cost more due to the unnecessary use of the letter u.
That would be funny except for the fact that damn near nothing is printed in Canada any more (and if there’s any printer left in Canada after this, I’d be very surprised). Can you say “China”?
Wife latest Bible is printed in China.
Jesus redeems his social credit score.

Pineapple on quiche lorraine would be close to this.

Doesn’t this asshat constantly advocate for socialism? At least, from my observation, he keeps his political crap to his youtube channel, which allows me to distinguish the art from the artist. So that’s something.
British comedian Russell Brand and his family were seen at Sydney International Airport, bound for London amid concerns of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 44-year-old, his wife Laura Gallacher and their daughters Mabel, three and Peggy, one, checked into their flights on Saturday.
The comedian took no chances and wore blue disposable gloves as he strolled through the airport with eldest daughter. …
Earlier in the day, Russell and his family were spotted leaving their accommodation in the Mullumbimby, NSW, and heading to Ballina Byron Gateway Airport to make a connecting flight to Sydney.
The performer carried his daughter Mabel as they made their way across the tarmac to their charted jet.
Man of the people. And the gloves serve no purpose.
Artist? That’s a stretch.
I can’t lie. I have found a few movies of his to be entertaining.
Yep. He’s a pretentious ass but Get Him to the Greek was pretty damn funny.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is very good for a rom com.
He’s been in other movies? The two mentioned here he played the same character, himself.
Re: The calls for martial law.
Martial law can only be invoked when there is no functioning judiciary. They tried to pull that shit after Katrina and for a short time despite no actual invocation of martial law we had functioning martial law and it made things much, much worse. I am still pissed that no one was held to account for it. I do have some advice for the sheriff at the time of Jefferson Parish – you should not cross the road in front of me.
I heard scuttlebutt last week that they were going to close down the judicial system in a neighboring county as soon as a confirmed case showed up. That happened yesterday. He is so sick he is self quarantined at home. I have not heard the state of the judicial system. I expect to know more on Monday.
Just spitballing, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Congress decides to reinstate the 2006 amendment to the Insurrection Act.

Look, I’m no smart guy, but mocking the guy who is in charge of the State Department seems kind of like a bad strategy when asking for help getting your kid back into the country.
Watching the local news yesterday, some advocacy group was still going on about the “epidemic” of vaping. We have a real fucking contagious epidemic going on that’s leading to mass disruption, and these morally wicked people still want to use the word for flavored vapes?
So, Dee Snider’s daughter is in Peru during a global pandemic. As a parent, he did nothing to bring her home in an expeditious manner – but, Trump’s response is the problem?
He’s not going to take it anymore.
I have reports of – and have seen – armed government workers in my state (VA) menacing businesses that dare to transact business. Free exchange is now a criminal offense. Of course, it has been for some time – depending on the free exchange involved. But it’s now general.
You face armed government workers – and their arms – for attempting to serve people a cup of coffee. The AGWs are prowling around local restaurants, menacing the proprietors if more than ten people are within.
The “locking down” (a term once reserved for inmates of prisons) of America passes almost without comment – and little objection. The government decrees that people are no longer free to associate; to freely transact business. …
It is the new Answer for Everything. Or at least, the new justification for everything. Our freedom – or what we still had of it – now held at gunpoint . . . to “keep us safe.” The irony is lost on most people, who seem okay with being told they may not go work out, sit down for a meal or even have a cup of coffee anymore.
On the basis of . . . what, exactly? …
Don’t we have a right to know that – since it bears hugely on how many otherwise healthy younger people may die as opposed to just get briefly sick?
How long will it be (the principle being the same) before the government decrees no more associating, period. In our homes . . . everywhere?
This is already happening. Mass house arrest – aka, “sheltering in place.” We are being clearly told who our owners are.
Cuomo said something about how this is the new normal and to deal with it, and to me if this is the new normal then the old folks and sick need to deal with it. Cause you can’t shut everything down for forever.
The new normal is people panic buying firearms and widely expanding the base of gun owners? Hmmmm, I’m gonna have to ponder on that one for a bit.

So day 3 and i have no signs of the Kung Flu from my government imposed self quarentine. Apparently they did a top-to-bottom medical cleaning of the Las Vegas ATCT and Tracon.
That said, I am still forced to stay home. I dont mind. We are under a maintenance moratorium anyway to inly do critical restoration activities. Not like planes are flying anyway
I can’t imagine the depression that’s going to come to Vegas with all the travel shut down, and all the establishments closed. I’m at 8 days after my last travel, no fever, no cough. Southwest has been pushing some amazing deals, that I would love to jump on, if I knew when I could travel and do shit again.
Just like 08, this is going to hammer us. Not a huge fan of Mayor Goodman but she at least is fighting the business shutdowns.
I’ve seen the pictures of the empty strip. It’s damned creepy.
Or empty Times Square. I was out and about in my corner of Brooklyn and apart from the closed eateries and a few closed shops it looked like any ordinary Saturday.
Tourists are just as vital to our economy as in Vegas.
As a reference. I’ve been to most of those locations, never been to NYC.
I watched a couple minutes of Fox news, had to shift to Animal Planet before I destroyed my own TV. The bail out is now in the neighborhood of 2 Tr, I can’t say that word with out scaring myself. The programs are coming fast, furious and yuuuuugggge. A Christmas present for everyone, even if you haven’t been good.
Apparently the Venezuelan/Zimbabwe financial advisors have shown up. I was unsure a few days ago how the scenario would play out but it looks like inflation and depression are most logical. I couldn’t bring myself to watch much, between Mitch and Chuck to see who could out bid the other and hands are crossing aisles and getting shook.
Got a debt, never fear, we’re postponing it, got bills, don’t worry, postpone or cash to pay. Emergency unemployment benefits for the amount of your paycheck for a year (Vacation time but need some place open to go). Apparently our benefactors want some substantial announcements ready for Monday’s stock market opening. Airlines, car companies, small business, big business, get your hand out here.

They’re blowing their load now. If the SHTF, what are they going to do then? And seeing how panicking people have been, if the more worse case scenarios are realized, how will they act? Even if it doesn’t, what will the masses do with the world plunged into a depression?
They blew their load when they dropped the rate to zero.

Well, I’ve got over 10 lbs. of flour now, first loaf of sourdough baking now. I’m making a batch of DIPA tomorrow, and I’m planning on trying to make the spent grains into flour to make spent grain sourdough bread. If you need stuff, let us know.
I’ll take a loaf of Sourdough, and any DIPA you wish to share, hell anything you brew would be awesome,
Seriously, I could use it..
Mail sent
Speaking of the sourdough… first loaf of the my newest attempt. It’s sitting and cooling now.
Nice! That is a beautiful loaf.
Left you a message on the Plague (top) thread.
lol…..I have the means to get an oven I just didn’t and went for the cheapo air fryer. But thank you very much.
Man, that looks good. I like dark bread, heavy bread. I try not to eat too much because of the carbs but that doesn’t mean I’d let something like that get cool before I started slicing/tearing on it.
Nope. This needs to cool and set before I cut into it. Not that it wasn’t tempting me. When I start making it with spent grain, I expect it to have more carmalazation, and some higher rises. But this is the first round I’ve made with this starter (that I started feeding on Monday), tomorrow I’m brewing, and if I have the time, I’m going to try to make some sourdough pretzels.
Stick a cook/baker at home for weeks at a time, I’m going to start testing recipes out just to try to pass the time.
And if things do go downhill, lots of folks here will help you.
Thanks DEG, I’m OK for now, Nephs offer is a good one, I love Sourdough, and some Glib beer would be a nice addition,
I’m keeping real low as far as money/food goes, I’ll be good for a few weeks at least,
Good to know you’re OK.

Cat Eats me, Bella eats Cat, she’s polite that way….
At least you have a cat. I will just rot on the floor until the neighbors smell my carcass.
No Dog? Bella will howl til help comes, then eat me……
No, no dog. But I am in the market. A friend who raises sheep just acquired a stray Pyrenees from family. He just showed up at their house because they have several other Pyrenees and a bunch of sheep. I told him to let me know when someone has pups. He said the dog loves the kids and killed a coyote that was tormenting the sheep last week. Good dog!
The Pyrenees I’ve met all seem to be sweet natured critters. Once had occasion to get acquainted with three of ’em at once. Nearly gave myself up for loved.
Jesus those things must cost a fortune to feed. Decades ago, in my ski bum days, a neighbor had one. That dog would start barking, and the neighbor would loose his shit. I once saw him hit that giant dog with a 2×4 and it didn’t even faze it.
That big, fuzzy sumbitch gets up behind you and barks when you aren’t expecting it…well, you shit’s gonna get loose.
Gun Glibs, this is a great pack: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074RMM64B
It holds two AR pistols easy along with mags, ammo, etc. It doesn’t scream rifle case and the sling is super comfy.
I liked it so much, I drunkenly bought the two matching bags to go with it. ?
Bah. Shortest carbine I own is 31.5″ 16″ barrel ftl.
If your carbine is an AR pattern carbine, you simply have to push two pins to break it down to fit.

Page 21 of the 25-page bill sets forth details of Murt’s proposed “Ammunition Purchase Authorization Permits,” saying, “A person holding an ammunition purchase authorization permit issued under this section may purchase or otherwise seek the transfer of ownership of ammunition from a retailer that sells ammunition.”
The proposed permits would be valid for four years and carry a fee “not to exceed $50.”
In addition to mandating state residents acquire a permit to buy bullets, Murt’s legislation sets for a surcharge for gun and ammo sales: “There is hereby imposed on each sale of a firearm or ammunition subject to tax under Article II of the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, an additional surcharge of $3. This shall be referred to as the Firearm and Ammunition Sale Surcharge.”
Start haunting the pawn shops for some reloading equipment. Can always reload for others in trade as well.

If y’all aren’t Covid 19d out, here’s a pretty good article with a bunch of nice graphs addressing spread over time, per capita cases, and likelihood of transmission if you’re in the vicinity of someone sho is infected:

Basically the takeaway is this is a serious problem but it’s not insurmountable and the hysteria is making it worse than it needs to be.

Tom Woods says what I was thinking….
Ok maybe I thought it after he said it.
Exactly – I don’t know a single sector where the “scientists” make the decisions.
Why do you fucking hate science?
Every talking head doctor I’ve see on the teevee is saying pretty much the same thing. No dissent from the main strategy being implemented. More nut cracking. The lack of dissent is eerie.
It does seem like some kind of comprehensive cost benefit analysis should be conducted before we do all this shit, doesn’t it?
How can you put a price on human life?
Uh, you do that everyday.
Life insurance companies will establish a value, depends on how much a person is willing to pay. I’m kind of low valued, in the discount bin of humanity.
It’s heartless. Pretending we never make decisions like that is true compassion.
No shit.

So the City just built a Camp/Facility to Quarantine the Homeless, showers, meals and cots, but by force of law, Mike the Homeless guy is not going to go,

And why am I all of a sudden a Homeless advocate?
Because people have the right to live where they want, barring someone else’s property?
They are broken people, but mostly nice, humble and helpful, I feel for them,
Nobody would take them seriously should they advocate for themselves?
I’m not being snarky.
It’s hard to take somebody seriously who says, “I LIKE living in the gutter, filthy, and totally free.”
It might be TRUE, and that person has a right to his life, but most people don’t think that way.

most people don’t think that way. = I’m not advocating the position expressed, just saying it is prevalent
Most people can FUCK OFF! = People who hold that position can fuck off, not you the person who is saying most people think that way.
This reads to me like you guys are both getting offended by something you are reading into the other one, not what the other one is saying.

Sure it means you. It is also a question asking if you believe the thing you said most people believe. I’m telling you this read to me like tow people who are on edge reading offense in, then getting their backs up and starting to deliberately give offense. What you and Bob do with my neutral observation is up to you guys, and if you want to fight by all means have at it. I like a fight sometimes as well, but I don’t see an innocent party getting picked on here. I see two people I like, both of whom have had a miserable few months being prickly, and the prickliness leading to escalation.
Or you can both jump on me. 🙂 that is what I deserve for butting in to your private fight.

J sub D from the Before Times was a homeless guy. He used a computer in a public library to surf the web and post on H&R.
He always seemed quite sane to me.
I never interacted with him directly as that was when I lurked. i liked what he posted and as I said, he always seemed sane and happy with life.
Oh, and I should add I know you’re talking about most people, whom J sub D was not.
RIP J sub D.
I remember how proud I was when J sub D responded to me in one of the old before times threads.
RIP J sub D.
@ Neph, I was proud when you responded to my E mail,
Glibs!
Yes, and if that’s Yusef’s new calling, then good on him.
In the ERs we work in California we see homeless people daily and always offer assistance with housing when they are ready for discharge. You would be amazed by how many say “no thank you, just let me go.” (Often not nearly as politely as that.) And if they are deemed able to take care of their own food, clothing, and keep themselves warm while sleeping in tents etc, we cannot legally (or ethically) do anything but allow them to leave. Yes, many have mental illnesses or substance addictions. But one can’t be solipsistic and say “I wouldn’t want to live like that, therefore they don’t want to live like that.” Living indoors in any situation means there will be rules that have to be followed, such as no shooting dope onsite, no drinking with a big loud group all night long, no fires, you can’t bring that dog with you, on and on. Many of these folks seem to like being able to do what they want with no one able to tell them otherwise. And deciding we should be forcing them to accept the living situation we think they should be in gets very close to a very slippery slope of losing basic rights.
I’ve had the argument several times with family about how people shouldn’t do X. When X is something they don’t want to do. I respond that I don’t do Y, so therefore people shouldn’t do Y, and it should be banned. The family members start talking about how Y is important to them, and no one should control any access to Y. Then I point out that some people feel that way about X. Most of my family has stopped arguing about banning things around me.
I can relate to the homeless if their goal is to be free of rules. I honestly can. If I went that way, and who knows, when I finally finish losing my mind I might, I would go full on Jeremiah Johnson. There is plenty of space in the woods where you can do what ever you want with out shitting on someones door step. We are getting close to that aforementioned NAP violation with that kind of behavior. Is leaving fecal matter to deal with as bad as having THD?
Oh, and in response to cheap gas prices. When I picked up dinner tonight, I saw a gas station selling regular at $1.29/gallon.
DAMN! I’m happy with 2.23$
1.94 in the woods
$2.28 is the cheapest I’ve seen around here.
Wow.
We have like $1.49 down/over here when I was @ Kroger this afternoon.

Just saw Too Funny to Fail on hulu about the Dana Carvey Show and their tiny run on ABC. I’m a Smigel and Louis CK guy, so Carvey is just a bonus. You need to watch this 90 minute documentary if you like sketch comedy or stand-up. I hate everything; I’m extremely critical of television and comedy; NewWife said she hadn’t heard me laugh that hard in months. I almost pissed myself.
HULU, oh well,
I’ll add it to my list. I’m currently going through the Pharmacist on Netflix (after giving up on Dirty Money on Netflix after several episodes that were just hit jobs).
Ok… almost done with the Pharmacist. I understand why the guy did what he did, but his gunning for pain clinics makes me strongly dislike him (unless something changes in the last ~20 minutes of the series).
Carvey is always good. Funny without the nastiness.
WAAAAYNE!
He is indeed. I liked the standup special he did a year or two back. The guy is funny and the kind of funny you wouldn’t mind watching with your mom (not Winston’s mom). I love my crass and degenerate comedy, but there is something to be said for someone who is funny without that.
I’m still not sure if the quickly changing sponsors for the Dana Carvey Show were a gag or just more evidence that the show was failing quickly.
It was always part of the plan.
Carvey is a brilliant writer, and a C+ performer, unless he’s doing his bits- Church Lady, George Bush, etc.
And those are really his only good impressions. So its gotta limit things.
A does a good Mitch McConnell too.
C’mon you gotta give him credit for Garth.
Like I said, limited in scope.
Im not saying the guy isnt’t Uber talented; for me his performances kinda miss the mark
Carveys standup special from the 90s still has me dying laughing when I watch it. The OJ trial stuff is comedic gold. He had a more recent special that was pretty funny but couldn’t top the 90s.
Have you heard his 6 Deep Dive episodes on Conan O’B Needs a Friend podcast? So funny.

“Uncut Gems”
I didn’t know Adam Sandler was in a gay porno.
Thanks for that image. ?

It’s a great movie, but very tense. I didn’t notice anything wrong with the soundtrack.
Finally watched Rise of Skywalker today. It was the first Star Wars movie I wasn’t there opening weekend for (this includes 2 month old me seeing A New Hope at a drive-in theater). Didn’t end up seeing it in the theater at all.
Seriously, WTF, Abrams?
heh….you and I must be very close in age. My parents took me with them to the theater as an infant to see Star Wars, too.
You cant beat a dead horse forever. At some point it rots away and the bones turn to dust.

Alright. I ask the hivemind here… should I go for sourdough waffles, pancakes or pretzels tomorrow? Or should I go for buttermilk biscuits or pancakes?
Obviously, the answer is, “yes”.
I thought it was “orgy”?
Seriously, in order of preference:
Waffles
Pretzels
Pancakes
Biscuits
I like all of them.
But if I had to pick: Biscuits and gravy then pretzels later.
Are these euphemisms or not?
I don’t think I’ve ever had sourdough waffles, sounds tempting – and fattening.
I’ve made them before. Here’s a quick recipe to make them yourself. I’ve got the starter running already, so I need to use it.
Do you have enough to make all of them?
I do… but I shouldn’t make them all in one day (especially not a day where I’ll be brewing a 9.5% ABV beer and trying to process the spent grains into flour).
Lazy, just lazy.
Well, things will go stale/rot if I don’t eat them fast enough.
biscuits
should we FedEx you some cottonpatch gravy ?
Don, you wound me. I may be a Yankee, but I can make a damned fine sawmill gravy (and I bought extra milk today).
And my biscuits are made with buttermilk, butter, and lard.
you’re good: I trust your gravy
but if you run out of fixins, shout out
Understood, and no offense intended or taken.
If you need some good Eastern European baked goods, just let me know. The strudel shop around the corner from me is still open (I’ve got butter horns and strudel from them sitting on the table now). When I was at the grocery store today, I saw the pirogi store near me is still open, but those are sold frozen
I like the Biscuits…………..
Waffles! True Krasnovian Patriots eat waffles! Not vile Pinelandian goat botherer pancakes! Damn, wrong forum. Bet at least a couple of you get it though.
Biscuits! it’s the American Way!

When you taste my gravy, you need to be seated. Otherwise your knees buckle
Please excuse me while I vomit.

So I guess our national strategy now is to forget about even paying lip service to the debt, keep interest rates near zero (or negative) and just pay the interest… forever. Either that or print so much money that you devalue the dollar to pay it off.
If I see actual money then OK, but if it’s Banks and airlines, there will be War…….
A trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there, pretty soon you’re talkin’ real money!
The part I love about this is that it sounds like they are going to turn it from “everyone gets $1000” into the unemployed get $1000s and $1000s, the fortune 500 get $1,000,000,000s and $1,000,000,000s, and schlubs like me who are still working every day, but who know they don’t have a prayer of getting paid by any clients for the work I am doing until all this is over, get squat.
All of my clients are small property owners and business men. Most of the work I have done the past two months was for a guy who owns barbershops and restaurants, and I just sent him a large bill. Am I getting paid? Maybe, if he weathers this storm. Am I getting paid now? Not a prayer. And before you all tell me I am crazy to do work for people before I get paid, this guy and his brother have made up probably 10% of my business for the past few years. So yeah, I’m doing the work, to keep my client happy, not dunning him for immediate payment because he is paying wages to his employees, but has barely any income coming in, and praying the asshole in Columbus doesn’t slaughter my client base. Meanwhile mega corporations are encouraged to operate on 90+% leverage with guaranteed bail outs. Oddly this pisses me off.
And it should piss you off.
It pisses me off too.
I haven’t followed too closely, but one thing I saw that was irritating was Dems wanting to add more $$ for the unemployed. I don’t understand why. There is already unemployment to do that. The people who will need help are the employed who don’t have enough PTO time to cover their missed time from work.
I chuckled
Granite Staters will have to leave their reusable grocery bags at home until the coronavirus threat subsides.
Gov. Chris Sununu on Saturday issued an emergency order requiring all grocers and retail stores to temporarily switch to new, single-use paper or plastic bags.
Lying about symptoms to EMTs
New Hampshire first responders are running into people lying about their flu-like symptoms for fear they won’t receive treatment, though police and fire departments have adopted new protocols to reduce their exposure to COVID-19.
Emergency personnel want the public to know that despite what they might have heard, EMTs, paramedics and firefighters will treat them and police officers will protect them even if they are symptomatic. Hospitals will receive them, too.
Fire departments in Salem and Londonderry are seeing cases of residents lying during the screening process that helps first responders determine what kind of protective gear they need to wear while responding.
“It’s getting increasingly difficult to screen or prescreen the calls,” said Salem Assistant Chief Jeff Emanuelson.
the old FUCK YOU Response, good for them…

Ha. The new idiocy takes over the old idiocy.
Climate change just got Demoted..
Un-fucking-real.
By the by, New York’s mandatory bring-your-own-bags-or-else edict went into force on March 1. I rate the chances of rescinding it at approximately zero.
I’m suspending my use of twitter to resolve customer service problems in favor of tweaking the left wing insano pols in this state.
Well damn. I stopped at one of my non-usual grocery stores, which is going along with the plastic bag ban. They were charging $.10 a paper bag.
LOL. But all the other communicable diseases are totes OK the rest of the time? Fucking idiots.
About fucking time.
God, All this Canned food and nothing to eat…
Looks like Portlandia is pushing the gov to go to lockdown here. Still have the self serve gas ban in place. Priorities.
We’ll be locked down in Ohio on Tuesday or Wednesday, from what my gut tells me. Our POS, statist, governor, has been itching to do it so he can slurp @ the bowl of those sweet Federal emergency $$$. And of course, the union thugs that maintain the machinations get it too, and he gets votes from them for “doing something”.
Fuck Mike DeWine, and even more fuck his horse-face cop-sucking daughter that blows the FOP for those sweet union votes.
#Fuck Mike DeWine.
The road construction down the street from me has been continuing without any pause, even while I have to wonder if I can still go grocery shopping next week.
New plan: Most of us go about our normal lives. Those of us over 70 or with compromised immune systems, well, you’re free to as well, but it may not be in your best interests. The thing plays itself out in a couple of months, the economy doesn’t get wrecked and we have herd immunity.
Operation: Fuck the old people.
Imagine how we would have handled this differently if everyone in charge weren’t sclerotic Boomers or even older.
Sing it brother.
So GenX needs to take control of the levers of power?
Meh… fuck it, that sounds like too much work.
Not that I’m a big believer in the whole generation thing, but Gen X getting labeled with being slackers is really not true. My cohorts generally worked as least as hard as their parents if not harder, and here in the Bay, ended up living in much more modest houses when they could even afford to buy.
(Born in the mid 70’s)
Indeed the stereotype is silly, but numerical advantage of the cohorts above and below us is real – which is what I was obliquely referring to below: I doubt there will ever be a Gen X president, for example.
I was working at a saw mill at the time. The urge to reach through the screen and grab every pussy, male or female was near overwhelming.
Supposed to be a reply to Gustave. God I loathed that movie.
I was born in 1977 myself, I was going for self-depreciating humor. There are those who try to stick me with the Millennials, and I say fuck those people!
I got your humor, I’m just a bit older than you. Gen X unite and take over!!
My criteria is if you remember Reality Bites in the theater.
Gustave:
I think that was the first movie me and my friends just walked out on and asked for our money back… other then the Crow showing that had no open seats left.
I’m going to guess I’m born between Nephilium and KSuellington, but I don’t remember “Reality Bites” in the theater as we almost never went to the theater. I never paid much attention to what was playing beyond that a theater on the way to my old grade school never got movies until after they had been out for about six months.
LOL good one
There’s not enough of us, which is why we were labeled GenX in the first place.
Exactly.

Have you seen me link to this site? It might be interesting to you and our co-early-Gen-Xers, I don’t know. If you have seen it, I apologize for the re-run.
Thanks, Mo.
Welcome! I think “baby busters” is better than “GenX'” though.
Just in case you’ve never heard of it… the most recent Mindset list.
Whoa. That’s kind of mindblowing.
Go back through some of the older ones as well. I think they’re a good zeitgeist of the culture from the timeframe.
When the hell did that happen? I missed that memo.
Shhh! It’s just something to fuck with kids; get ’em used to that Klakka-whatever, then embarrass the shit out of them when they start using it in the real word.
Move directly to single payer healthcare, democratic socialist dream economic order, and prog harder?
From what I hear about the dens of iniquity that nursing homes are, they’re doing that just fine on their own.
Haha. Yeah, I’ve heard the same. I can’t wait.
Hunting grounds?
That sounds entirely too sensible. It’d be better to entirely wreck the economy so we didn’t have an especially bad flu season.
A little Brawler to finish the night.

Then why would I bother?!
United is drawing down to 6 international flights daily. Delta is parking part of their fleet on the runways and taxiways at ATL because they’ve run out of room elsewhere. Wow.
Well, I have pissed off a few people tonight, so my job here is done,
Good evening Glibs!
I don’t get out much because ‘Shelter in place” is my usual motto. Wifey shopped today and even went out to visit the Grandkids and horses on the acreage. People are wising up to the “threat”. I’ve had a the sniffles for a week and she was pretty low for a few days.
^this, i live in Shelter in place, I’m alone, it’s normal, walk the park, shop at Walmart, as little as possible, and chill at home with you Fools,
Who you callin’ a fool, Fool?
I pity the Fool…
“The Coronavirus Is a Disaster for Feminism
Purely as a physical illness, the coronavirus appears to affect women less severely. But in the past few days, the conversation about the pandemic has broadened: We are not just living through a public-health crisis, but an economic one. As much of normal life is suspended for three months or more, job losses are inevitable. At the same time, school closures and household isolation are moving the work of caring for children from the paid economy—nurseries, schools, babysitters—to the unpaid one. The coronavirus smashes up the bargain that so many dual-earner couples have made in the developed world: We can both work, because someone else is looking after our children. Instead, couples will have to decide which one of them takes the hit.
Many stories of arrogance are related to this pandemic. Among the most exasperating is the West’s failure to learn from history: the Ebola crisis in three African countries in 2014; Zika in 2015–6; and recent outbreaks of SARS, swine flu, and bird flu. Academics who studied these episodes found that they had deep, long-lasting effects on gender equality. “Everybody’s income was affected by the Ebola outbreak in West Africa,” Julia Smith, a health-policy researcher at Simon Fraser University, told The New York Times this month, but “men’s income returned to what they had made pre-outbreak faster than women’s income.” The distorting effects of an epidemic can last for years, Clare Wenham, an assistant professor of global-health policy at the London School of Economics, told me. “We also saw declining rates of childhood vaccination [during Ebola].” Later, when these children contracted preventable diseases, their mothers had to take time off work.
At an individual level, the choices of many couples over the next few months will make perfect economic sense. What do pandemic patients need? Looking after. What do self-isolating older people need? Looking after. What do children kept home from school need? Looking after. All this looking after—this unpaid caring labor—will fall more heavily on women, because of the existing structure of the workforce. “It’s not just about social norms of women performing care roles; it’s also about practicalities,” Wenham added. “Who is paid less? Who has the flexibility?””

More men die, women hardest hit.
Men are obviously getting hit a great deal harder with this outbreak because when women lose their jobs they are only losing 79 cents to a man’s dollar.
Somebody linked a meme to that effect yesterday…
Yellow Man’s Burden?
But the men in the service industry are losing $1 to only $.76 for the women in the service industry.
/half tempted to send this joke to my niece who’s a Bernie fan and works in the service industry.
I’ll give them this and only this, they are fucking relentless.
Oh the horrors of having to raise your own children.
Rhyun and Festus’ Moms nod in commiseration…
So RCP has a “scorecard” for COVID-19.
U.S. has roughly the same number of confirmed cases, but way less deaths than Spain. France has more deaths than the U.S. and only about half the confirmed cases. UK & Netherlands combined have about the same number of deaths as the U.S. but only 1/3rd of the confirmed cases. And of course there is Italy.
So for all the criticism of the U.S. healthcare system, and the U.S. governmental responses, we’re looking pretty damn good compared to most of those European countries with their allegedly better, universal healthcare and ‘more representative’ governments.
We have all the drug testing companies due to Litigation, and we just Re purpose them, they still make bank, and we climb out of this,
DOW 350000!
Or since deaths have usually been lagging from infections, just further behind. Italian deaths looked pretty good when Iran was piling up, then…
OK, let me know when you Die, I’ll do the same, unless you are a Cigarette Smoker or an old Hiv patient, you’re good,
/Heavy Smoker….
Will do! If you feel a cold breeze on a warm afternoon, it’ll be me
I’d say the biggest question is what is a confirmed case. How many people got the virus without showing symptoms, or got it and never got tested.
I think the asymptomatic thing has been proven wrong, as has the two weeks being infected before showing symptoms.
Aren’t we a couple weeks “behind” Europe? These numbers could be entirely different in a week. Also, we have many more people than any individual Euro-country so such basic comparisons are meaningless.
Shut the fuck up, Corona-tard!
I would like to see hospitalization numbers. That seems to be the talking point of overwhelming dread, but I have not seen that reported on other than sky is falling it will overwhelm blah blah blah.
As to Italy. Tragic, but I looked into that a bit and what I read stated their population is 23% over 65. Tragic, but not surprising with this virus.
This pm it was reported the hospitalization number (40) in PA was 10% of those testing positive and the death number (2) was 5% of the hospitalization rate.
More completely meaningless FUD.
I am officially over looking at any of this shit coming from the MSM.
So overwhelming. Got it.

If you shipped them off to a bette rwriter, something could be made of them.
Sadly, they’re giving them to the guy too lame for comic books.
The problem is the writer who could do something with them is also a writer who wouldn’t name them that to start with.
Or a writer who named them that but no-way-in-hell works for Marvel.

Well, she is powered by cocaine.
No, wait, that’s Snowflame.*

Assembling this exocist is kicking my ass. All the fiddly bits are getting on my nerves.
I still have to take out the razor saw and take off the molded flames because they look stupid.
look^
At some point I’d like to get back getting into WarmaHordes… but that would require picking up the new rules, meta, and seeing how my models compare.
I got your Terrain right here, Buddy!
One day when I get older and frailer, me and Tamiya will become re-acquainted. All bets are off if that happens.
I thought you were keeping the flames?
No. They’re a catastrophe waiting to happen. I just figured out the line I can cut them off at and not have it look stupid.
Having meandered lately in non-Glib comment areas, esp in more lefty parts of the Interwebs, plus hearing Cuomo today — this all feels like an extension of all the “anti-fascist!!!” nonsense. Instead of cosplaying the Invasion of Normandy, some of these people are cosplaying World War Z instead. “No cost is too great to save one life!!!” But it seems to mostly come from people who are secure in their workplace and can afford to be Dramatic about the cost to fight the
Alien Invasion– I mean, Pandemic. They’re all starring in their own movie, and the idea of a price just doesn’t seem to enter into it. Maybe because they’ve all been pre-programmed with Climate Alarmism, so now this is going to be armageddon too? I’m not sure, but it feels like the same mix of Feelz at least.One of my co-worker’s bosses is based out of NYC, and apparently has 5 family members who tested positive (one on a ventilator). So yeah, it’s a bad disease, and easily spread. I’ve yet to talk to someone in the wild who thinks these lockdowns are doing more good then harm.
Yup, this feels like the climate alarmism, just dialed up to 11. It’s a massively disproportionate response to something that most definitely is a problem, but nothing of the scale it is being made out to. Very very scary.
Even if it was, the response could be even worse over the long term.
Sounds about right, in the real world, we seem to go about our lives, mostly unaffected,
Yeah, and zero conception of the very real damage that the response is causing. A worldwide Great Depression II might not directly kill as many people, but the reduced wealth will hit health outcomes for years in similar ways.
What really bothers me is the rush rush gotta do this, constant spur of the moment changes, and no questioning.
You’re not wrong, Goddess. People seem to be featuring to the nonsense pretty quickly, though. I don’t see any freak-outs up here except for the runs on ground beef, sanitizer and TP. Waiting on my Sophie Bucks that I will use to buy beer and ciggies. One of our bowling alleys remains open, which the editor of the local rag seems to think is a Very Bad Thing.
So much this
So is it true Cuomo shut down the highways in NY because doing so will obviously save at least one life every frigging day.
Fuck. So much this. I live in NYS, and it’s been a shit show of stupid.
Even my lovely gal has become one of those people. Painful. We’ve been together for years because we can talk and drink about anything. Now? It’s her talking her own horror movie 24/7.
Perhaps it’s the appeal of zombie movies. Instead of being a cop with skills stuck in Nokotoma Plaza, you’re an “average” person stuck against a faceless enemy. One story makes you a hero…the other a victim. In the age where the highest form of hero is a victim, no wonder the response.
COVID 19, or the Winnie the Flu, obviously makes people retarded.
Casinos closed, Bridges Blown, We are Isolated.. 0 cases in Mohave County,

Short cans up, Bob! We’re a month and a half away from that. Enjoy!
I’m truly at a loss as to how to proceed, I have food, bank, and cash, house and car, and time, what to do….
and i still need to clean up my household, fuck,
Sounds like balm for a busy soul such as yourself! Embrace the catastrophe!
There have been 3 deaths in Ohio. Three.
More people die in some car accidents, and we’re nearly on lockdown. Yes… it can spread quickly, but FFS… this is going to destroy businesses.

Did you borrow that pic from HM?
I have my own sources
Fuck that! Imma do Jorts so short that the pockets stick out over your thighs like a dog’s tongue on a hot day! 1982! We’re back! In Pog form!
Short shorts; deep pockets
TBF, every time you washed the cut-offs meant a loss of another 1/8th inch of fabric. Back then I would and did walk around, naked as a jay-bird at the drop of a hat. Hippy phase, didn’t care.
I’m with ya! I hate shorts that touch my lower thighs. The man version of daisy dukes needs to make a comeback! I had a pair of pink OP shorts circa 1985’ish that looked better on my girlfriend but I still wore them when she wasn’t.
God No, not again, i wear 15″ Dickies relaxed fit, it’s a bloody Kilt I tells ya!
Yes. Yes it is.
