From what I’ve heard of modern pop music I choose to remain blissfully ignorant of it. 

They should do this with fictional, historical, and mythological horses too. Who wouldn’t want to see Silver, Scout, Shadowfax, Sleipner, Bucephalus, Incitatus, Black Beauty, and Mister Ed go for the finish line.

Luckily like 80% of porn is step siblings that live in the same home already so the impact to production should be minimal, right? /s

We have been told on this site that a vaccine is years away and herd immunity is impossible. Oh and this, “Well we’re not really quarantining” thing is about 2 days old now. So shut the fuck up.

It’s based on basic logic: To start with, a hypothetical race of ETs noticing us in the universe or even the galaxy would be next to impossible. We didn’t even start sending out radio waves that wouldn’t dissipate after ~4 light years until WW2, so nobody further than 80 or so light years out would be hearing us on…

I don’t want to wonder; I have a daily liquor limit and wondering would make me break that...

... but I’m no politician, so maybe it works. Maybe it doesn’t work ... 

So why isn’t everyone in China dead?

Unfortunately, they didn’t correct for population density—for a disease that spreads person-to-person via direct or close contact—and they accepted reports of “no” deaths from rural counties without the resources to spare for public health issues. So their deaths-per-million map looks like a population density map…

I just want to say, thank you for not making this a slide show

The problem here is that there are a couple different strains floating around, one more serious than the other, and given that South Korea has been reporting that people who already got sick and recovered have become infected again, in the span of a couple of months, that could mean a few different things.

Immunity…

But are we? If this virus is has an R0 as high as 5 or 6 (isn’t that the range for measles?), then shouldn’t a whole lot of people be infected? In the largely and relatively densely populated county where I live (Tarrant County, Texas. Where Fort Worth is. We’re in the same metroplex as Dallas.). We have about 1250…

The R0 is still being determined, but I think I saw a figure as high as 5 or 6 being suggested (https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/04/07/the-covid19-coronavirus-disease-may-be-twice-as-contagious-as-we-thought/#240f848729a6). If that’s the case then nearly everyone needs to be immune/vaccinated.

The big issue with the WHO isn’t the factuality of the information it puts out, but its choices of when and where to release the factual information. Probably the most comical example is its decision to scrub all statements suggesting that real medicine is superior to CCP Lysenkoism (“traditional Chinese medicine”)…

This is excellent stuff. Make sure the thought leaders of the environmental movement(s) read it sometime between now and the Tuesday after the first Monday of November 2020. “Winners get to make policy.”

Don’t mean to be a downer, but I can’t see a scenario in America where even half of those recommendations take place. Last week aptly demonstrated that there’s significant push back to further and ongoing mitigation strategies (even excluding the idiots protesting and beach-going) on the parts of elected officials,…

Meet on Tinder, get married on Zoom, let YouTube and Switch raise the kids, and get divorced on LegalZoom. The e-marriage is the way of the future!

It’s just gonna be 2 iphones glued to a headband.
