  1. well this would suck... https://www.yahoo.com/news/recovered-coronavirus-patients-test-positive-161747102.html
  2. I was trying to engage you in a conversation. I won't that mistake again. Comparing privacy concerns 20 years ago to today? I won't even try to help you understand how stupid that take is. oh yeah, it'shappening.gif
  3. That's a nice theory you got there... only problem is that we (the US) do not seem to have the competency to take advantage if there are in fact portions of country/population that might have developed anti-bodies in significant numbers. Testing has been so mismanaged we have no idea whats happening and therefore must assume the worst scenario until we unfuck ourselves with some reliable data and a *gasps* competent approach to managing this crisis beyond a city/state level. Of the tests performed (arguable against a VERY favorable population) is any region well above a 10% positive? -seriously whats the highest % of positive testing we have seen?
  4. They (large tech companies) do have a shocking amount of data on you (every cellphone/Smartphone user) including location history/time, bio metrics, etc.... You have already agreed that the data is their data, not your data and that it may be shared or sold without your consent or knowledge. So basically it's not up to you, it hasn't been for a long time. It's basically a PR decision for them if selling/using data for this purpose is worth it considering the risk to revenue streams from public outcry or potential legislation/regulation. Would it make you feel better if they sold it to the government? Because they are selling it to everyone else.
  5. Didn't post the whole article, it's not paywall but does contain the T word FEMA Report Warned of Pandemic Vulnerability Months before COVID-19 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fema-report-warned-of-pandemic-vulnerability-months-before-covid-19/
  6. I don't know for sure, but I imagine some folks religious beliefs would prohibit that. I have seen some articles that indicated the funeral home business was overwhelmed too.
  7. If you liked new wave. It's like a video game soundtrack mixed with Bauhaus
  8. I am here to subject myself to ridicule and judgement. I bought a big packer a week ago and proceeded to watch some videos on separating the point from the flat. I'm trying a sous vide the brisket and it needs to be broken down to fit into vacuum bags to sous vide and I want to save some for later so I don't have 18lbs of brisket for the next few days and none next week. Also, my ghetto smoker is busted and I can't get the parts to "fix" it under the current circumstances. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/08/sous-vide-barbecue-smoked-bbq-brisket-texas-recipe.html The plan is to sous vide for 24hrs and finish on my little gas grill with a smoker box and wood chips. It's won't be as good but it beats no smoke at all. If all that wasn't bad enough... I got a little carried away trimming fat and silver skin off this ungodly fatty brisket only to realize I trimmed all the fat cap off of the flat. Ahhhh... needed to vent. This is not going awesome.
  9. The guy I'm talking about is in his 70's now. Call him your wife at your own peril. I've know him and his family for 40 years or so and I'm still a little scared of him. He always has a smile but it's a bat shit crazy smile.
  10. That's very consistent with what I have heard from people who are hard to impress.
  11. It you are wounded in the legion you are given French citizenship. Otherwise after 3 years of service you can become a French Citizen. Pretty sure you can be a wanted criminal in your home country and join the legion. 0 fucks given. They are also like the Dirty Dozen with crepes and ennui
  12. I'd love to have a Marlin JM mark .45-70 Lever action... They have gotten so stupidly expensive and I don't shoot much... but still, do want
  13. Since I am apparently blessed.. I'll get over it. Girls in tiny bikinis at the sandbar will just have to get me through somehow.
  14. Interesting article... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/science/new-york-coronavirus-cases-europe-genomes.html
  15. I can forward them to you if you want
