I agree the R0 is lower, but isn’t that because there is social distancing, which will end if schools fully reopen?

I know I’d never give out my DOB or any other personal info to some cold-caller who claimed to be my insurance company. I get x number of calls a day offering me great deals on types of insurance that I don't have.

something that needs to be eradicated from this Earth

Also if your school has outside walls, it probably already has giant holes in them. They look like this:

Needing a video to demonstrate how to use your beverage = not ready for prime time.

Fiat currencies are backed by the strength and credit of its backing nation; it may be abstract, but it’s not “nothing.” Even gold, which is often held up as an ideal by those against modern currencies, is equally an abstract—if the apocalypse comes and the entire global economy shutters, even gold won’t stop you from…

But how would we ever justify the correctness of our preferred lifestyles if we don’t have a strawman other to compare them to? ;)

Most of my stress and anxiety is caused by my brain, so why not fix it with my brain?

Agree 100% on get the electric first. Too many people give up because of the high actions and big necks on acoustics.

Those are all valid points; I guess I think of the steep starting curve as a positive thing, although my experience isn’t entirely relevant, since the first instrument I learned was violin. Mechanically, the violin doesn’t require much hand strength, and the small, flat-wound strings are pretty easy on your fingers.…

“Would you like me to lie to you now?”
“Yes. Thank you. Yes...”

Whedon does have his problems, I have realised as it has been pointed out here and otherwhere, but man can he write death scenes....

I personally loved the end of Angel, it was so fitting with the theme in terms of ‘doing the right thing’ and adulthood. The fight never ends, even when it seems hopeless, you have to keep on going.

“It comes down to parenting and raising a smart kid. It’s always come down to that.”

I have a trust, which is good. I would also want to remain anonymous, of course, my plan for the money would bring me into the spot light. i want to essentially, establish an abortion underground railroad. I’d establish services in all the states that have no clinics, we’d set up transportation, childcare, money for…

not you, not investors, wall street and it’s lack of morals, honesty etc...

Also we are one of the worst when it comes to infrastructure, because we did it so early on. Now we’d have to tear it all out and start over to catch up to the smaller/newer countries that started with fiber and the like. Our Telcos *really* don’t want to get rid of copper.

Yes/no. You may be worse off, but you may not be. And the reason is taxes, and possibly company matching of contributions (I know not all companies do this).

This is a real thing that happens, and it’s compketely fucked. But Matt Lauer was paid a lot because he was a tent pole in NBC News’ brand. Why viewers were so loyal to him, I’ll never know. But comparing two women who haven’t been huge names at NBC for decades with a man who basically *was* NBC for decades isn’t…

Calling Gillibrand a slut, as @SenWarren did

I’m not sure why we should expect extensive late night coverage of an event that happened that day. Particularly since most of these shows are filming in the afternoon only a couple hours after the story broke.
