    I'm looking for Advice - Van Driving

    My Sprinter had 930,000 on it when that goober ran me off the road and a road sign took out the hood, windshield and roof slope. It didn't take much to total the van, despite how good of condition it was in. The transmission only had 4000 miles on it. Ugh. 3 weeks on and 1 week off is not...

    Death by DeSantis

    We learned a lot from the 1918 flu pandemic, but about the only thing from that pandemic that we implemented with this one is the social distancing. We learned then, and has been confirmed scientifically, that aerosol virus typically spread at 1-2 meters before gravity pulls them down. But that...

    Death by DeSantis

    You can do whatever you can to maybe try and mitigate it a little. But if you could manage a pandemic it never would have gotten beyond an outbreak or the epidemic stage. This isn't about what one governor or another did or didn't do, this is a worldwide pandemic and not a single leader anywhere...

    Death by DeSantis

    It's all just gibber jabber, because you can't manage a pandemic. Some governors will make decisions that, at least on the surface, looked like good or bad decisions, but they are all decisions based on hopes and guesses. Even the recommendations from scientists who are supposed to know what...

    The Fake News Depot

    This is another one of those 'just open the door a little bit "laws, where they say it's one thing,' It's just two additional pieces of information!", but it opens the door for other things, including abuse. The current law of $20,000 of inflows and outflows and the 200 transaction reporting...

    The Trump Card...

    What do you mean "of course"? I got it at the recommendation of my doctor, and used my Load One Gold Rewards points, long before I knew who Mike Lindell was or that he was a former crackhead success story and before I knew he was a certified nut. But none of that changes the fact that the pillow...

    You can control an outbreak. You can manage an epidemic. You can do neither of those things with a pandemic.

    That's the 'distraction" talking point. That's the "nothing to see here, move along" talking point. The IRS won't be notified of individual transactions over $600, but they will be notified of total annual transaction amounts of the total amount of money that went in and out of bank, loan and...

    Who broke Facebook?

    Woman spills the beans on 60 Minutes last night, is set to testify tomorrow, and in between Facebook goes down. I think it was an inside job.

    It may seem that way, right now. But 6 months ago it was a very different story with those same states. 6 months before that, another set of states were doing great.

    Red Covid

    It all ebbs and flows with the different cycles. And as Pilgrim noted, stats like that can be cherry picked to support any position. Blacks are getting more vaccinated in recent weeks, but they still have a long way to go to get to the same percentages as other groups. Blacks have a long history...

    Red Covid

    Yes, I'm aware of the politicized narrative that's being promoted by those who have a need to promote such narratives. There probably are more Republicans, who embrace freedom more readily than Democrats, dying from covid, but that's been cycling up and down per state from the beginning. The...

    You can count on one hand how many times something political out of Snopes is the go to reference for somebody on the Right.

    Red Covid

    I wasn't aware that the CDC, or anyone else, actually tracked political affiliation of covid deaths. Ya learn something new every day.

    The Captain of the ship said at the time that it would take a 6-9 month retrofit to convert the ship's beds to ICU COVID beds, and that was just for the oxygen supply lines alone. He said converting the ship into a covid ward wasn't economically or logistically feasible, and by the time the...

    And yet all of that gets utterly ignored when placing blame for not controlling an uncontrollable pandemic on the governor of Florida.

    Red Covid

    That's what happens when you politicize something that's not at all political. Politicizing a vaccine makes about as much sense as politicizing a sphygmomanometer.
