Yeah, it’s more concerning that people will be traveling from hot spots in the OR and WA metro areas and Boise.

Americans are insanely short sighted by default. And I’m not going to qualify this statement by saying “some Americans.” The short-sightedness of Americans is deeply cultural and effects most aspects of life, from economics to politics to popular culture.

No, that’s fine because the whiskey comes in a glass bottle onto which corona can’t attach.  It’s also a natural disinfectant of internal organs, so people should actually be safer at this event than anywhere else.  Also it’s outside and the corona can’t live in the outside air because the trees filter it and trees…

There’s a travel advisory now here where people from 16 states are strongly advised to self quarantine for 14 days if they come to Connecticut. My hospital employer gave everyone an additional fourteen days PTO to use if you come down with covid, if you travel to those states though, you have to use your own PTO.…

People seem extremely confused, which baffles me. We can either drastically hurt the economy for a short period of time measured in weeks and minimize death OR we can drastically hurt the economy for an extremely long period of time measured in months if not years and drastically explode the amount of death. Choice is…

Nothing slows the economy down more than mass death.

“Whatever! You know what I mean!" -Jeff Sessions to his press person, probably. 

I participate in a niche outdoor sport and all events have been cancelled this year... but there’s one happening in two weeks in Montana. People are planning on traveling from all over WA, OR, ID and possibly further for a sport that usually has some crowding factor and where everyone shares equipment (and normally…

Phone ordering can really suck, though, and there’s some advantage in being able to accept payments online before you pick-up, especially in post-COVID times.

Maybe if antisocial assholes had the decency to actually pick up the god damn phone and talk to the actual restaurants and order directly through them, all of this could be avoided. But no, everyone and their grandma has such severe anxiety that no amount of xanax or klonopin can treat that they would rather a…

I used to deliver pizza. Delivery drivers don’t make squat after averaging out the month. So there is high turnover. But it IS usually an easy job to get as long as you have a car.

Many 3rd party food delivery companies have been tried ever since I can remember. I’m talking decades.

Geeze, and after watching the full piece that just pisses me off more.

Meh, I just drove to the pizza place and picked up a pizza even though they deliver. It’s not hard. Besides if pizza places can afford to have their own delivery people and be profitable, any business with enough takeout should also be able to do it, and cut out 3rd parties completely.

Good riddance to bad rubbish with the third-party delivery apps. The staggering level of driver incompetence, from getting utterly lost in my apartment complex to picking up the wrong orders at the restaurant to the restaurants themselves clearly giving half-ass treatment/priority to the third-party apps...if I get…

Watching Alan Tudyk almost literally chewing on the scenery while he plays Mr. Nobody has been one of the best treats I’ve had in awhile. 

Swamp dicks and sex yams are covered in the reading. Did you come to class without doing the reading?

I’m pretty certain that I’d gotten this comic as part of a pack of some 50 or so books as a Christmas gift from my grandmother when I was 10 or 11 (which was way back in 85-86). It’s the only Swamp Thing book I’ve ever read, and while it didn’t necessarily draw me into the series as a fan, it made an impression.

It’s too bad DC didn’t stand up for Veitch later on when he wanted Swamp Thing to meet Jesus during the time travel arc. Still, the risks they took with Swamp Thing were impressive.

Nonetheless, it was DC pulling the Comic Code label off of Swamp Thing that started curdling his relationship with them, which will probably continue until everyone at DC is dead and the rights to Watchmen legally revert to Moore, now the world hairiest mummy, under the original stipulations of his contract.
