I’ve sewed a bunch of masks at home, both the pleated kind that look like the cloth version of a surgical mask, and the kind with a vertical seam up the middle, which does a slightly better job of staying out of the way of my lower eyelids.

Because six feet is THE magic number.  It is a quantum phenomenon.  So why bother?

Becky has filed a protest.

My house has stairs and I often have to go up or down them while holding things other than my breasts. I’ve been teleworking from home for over 10 years and wear a bra every day. 32DD.

The difference is based on testimonial v nontestimonial evidence categories. E.g. at the US border the Immigration guys can fingerprint you (non-testimonial) and can take your electronic devices for “a while,” but cannot force you to divulge your device passwords (testimonial, so protected by the 5th amendment’s…

“There’s going to be even more action in the night sky coming as we get closer to the summer solstice, so check back here for updates.”

Vote for the people who will appoint competent managers to lead relevant agencies, who will trust scientific expertise, and who don’t have such fragile egos they can’t admit it when they make mistakes.  Oh, and this: your “both sides” argument is tired, worn, and impotent

I’ve been thinking lately about what his presidential library will look like. Given that he doesn’t read, maybe it will contain nothing more than a small collection of paper napkins with sharpie talking notes in block letters?

How can you fail to mention FamilySearch.com? it is free although you need to register to use it. Run by the LDS church but thankfully free of proselytizing. You may well find that your ancestors are already in the worldwide tree there, but even if they aren’t, it’s one stop shopping for many US records, and also has…

Dams must be designed to be able to safely pass (i.e. via a hardened, controllable spillway) the “probable maximum flood,” the volume of which depends on the area in the dams’s watershed plus the probable maximum rainfall over a certain period. This dam was documented to have only 50% of the required PMF capacity.…

“Completely clear ice isn’t necessary, but it will take your highball to the next level, especially if you’re using the good stuff, like an expensive scotch.”

I’m in my 60s and have been married more than once. I’ve also cohabited with more than one guy in my life, and shared housing with many men and women during 6 years of grad school and early career days. You may be a rare exception, Sometimes I Rhyme Slow, but none of the men I’ve known, including somewhat enlightened…

But somewhat smelly.

Ice water in his veins.

Bad graphic! Why on earth would an artist draw, and Jezebel chose to publish, an illustration showing health care workers wearing their COVID-19 masks UNDER their noses?

Yes, because hospitals charge more for treatments that require more resources. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients tend to be sicker and stay longer in the hospital than patients with other conditions. When Mikovits talks about Medicare giving hospitals $13,000 for COVID-19 patients, that’s not a gift or a bonus. It’s the…

This is just one of the reasons I decided not to have children. I could see where that life was headed, and I knew the resentment would be unbearable. I know only a handful of couples who seem to truly have egalitarian marriages, and who knows who’s really doing all the work, inclduing the mental labor of tracking…

“Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive of the company Reckitt Benckiser, which owns Durex condoms, said the brand is suffering from a lack of people boning.”

Mike Pence is officially more afraid of having dinner with me than of contracting (or infecting someone else with) coronavirus.
