  1. I confess that I would surely take the same career path if I had the same choice.
  2. What do you mean "you people"???!!! But yes, that is fucking embarrassing.
  3. Hedgehogs fired forward, not to the side, and indeed needed contact to explode. These could be fired before a sonar contact was lost when the ship went over the sub. There were also throwers for normal depth charges that threw them off to the side, I think these were called K-Guns. These were normal depth charges that exploded based on depth/pressure.
  4. FIFY. Mostly this is (probably) because most people have not been exposed, at least enough to make detectable antibodies.
  5. Admit it, you replied just for an excuse to type 'Liverpudlian'. At least, I did.
  6. I'm sorry, but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is going to come of this. This administration has done uncountably many things that are both true, and handled in the most clumsy way imaginable. With exactly zero consequences. FOX/Rush will get their spin going, and this is not even going to move the needle one iota with his base.
  7. Good percentage of pix with snek with its tongue out. My first rule of snek photos, is they are always better when snek has its forked tongue out.
  8. That is the whole fucking point. These people are utterly loathsome without any qualification.
  9. I have some SaltStick FastChews (electrolyte tablets), I find them at REI, that I eat if I cramp up. I don't get them as bad as it sounds you do, but I do get them sometimes. And tongue cramps suck.
  10. So tomorrow is the big day?
  11. And so this is not miniballer then? Just trying to keep my racist internet trolls straight, so this world doesn't start to seem crazy.
  12. Is miniballer a he? I am confused.
  13. You need to find a bird with snek perched on a cactus someday. Ideally eagle, rattlesnek and prickly pear, but any version would be very cool.
  14. If the package is spelled 'Gilette' that is your first clue...
  15. This actually happened during WWII. Soon after the USA entered the war, the Germans sent some submarines to attack shipping on the east coast of the USA. They were devastating at first, partially because the merchants refused to turn off the lights, it was bad for business, and then the silhouettes of ships were easy to find and easy pickings.
  16. That is my take. I am fine walking around outside without one, though I often have a buff around my neck which I can turn into a mask if needed. I think the non-N95 masks do help protect you a little bit. It is not full protection, but better than nothing.
  17. Yes, and also bright Sirius makes a nice triangle with the Moon and Venus. Thanks for getting me to get out and look, cause going outside is a complicated ritual these days.
  18. One of the first things I realized once I started semi-isolation, was that I was using a LOT more paper towels than usual. Once I started to get into the routine of disinfecting stuff, for me that is a paper towel and some alcohol, and I will be doing this a lot, probably for months and months. Plus being home and eating at home all the time I use more. It is the most sanitary way to dry your hands after washing too. I looked at my towel stash, and it was obviously inadequate. So off to HEB I went!
  19. Actually, this might be pretty important. Especially the keypad/touch pad you use to approve the transaction. Everybody else who has been through the line has touched that thing in the exact same place you do. And the virus lives relatively long on plastic surfaces. It is probably wise to consider ANY touch screen or keypad as covered in SARS-2/COVID virus for the time being. Anything you can avoid touching, ESPECIALLY something that lots of other people touch, is a very good thing. I have some e-touch gloves (not sure if that is the right name) which let you use touch screens while wearing them, I put these on when I went to the ATM (which I also assumed to be covered in this virus).
  20. That is my current HEB. I hope that tweet is not from Monday or before because I was there Tue morning. The rest of your comment is correct.
  21. https://www.biospace.com/article/moderna-s-covid-19-vaccine-clinical-trial-starts-today/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/16/first-stage-of-covid-19-vaccine-testing-gets-under-way/ Some links. Sounds like it is farther along that I just suggested above. But still 12-18 months from being ready for widespread use.
  22. I think it may be a proto-vaccine that still does not have anything related to COVID-19 yet. The trial is to try and find any bad side effects of the rest of the cocktail. I do not have a link handy, but I read something like that this morning.
  23. I (was) with you on avoiding Tylenol completely, but I am going to skip the NSAIDs for now. The theory that I heard: Part of your bodies response to this virus is inflamation. By using the NSAIDs, you interfere with this process, and it somehow ends up worse. Whatever the reason, it seems that use of NSAIDs is correlated with the real bad reactions to this. This is surely not well tested at this point, or sure that there is any issue, but I figure it is good enough to give up on the NSAIDs for the moment. I am not in health care, so I am very interested in thoughts from any who are about this issue. So if I get an ache, my main plain is to just suck it up. I will go buy some Tylenol in case I get a fever that I need to try and manage, but hopefully I'll get to leave that bottle unopened.
  24. Yeah, I am on the computer (Firefox), and I usually have NoScript throttling some things, so it might not act the same for me as others. I find it kind of a confusing UI. I think if you go to their profile page, which is where I would expect there to be some 'Ignore this user' option, there is no such thing.
