    Can we have a major increase in our allotment of daily posrep for the duration of the pandemic? Until this past week I had never hit the cap. I'm hitting it every day.

    Good ep, but “I just know things” is kinda lazy writing.
  3. Apep
    That's possible. It is also possible they knew the WHO pandemic announcement was coming and needed them in the WH. Even if that's not true, that's how they'll need to play it.

    The first presumptive case in Tarrant County is the rector at Trinity Episcopal. https://www.fortworthtrinity.org/about/news/covid-19-and-trinity/?fbclid=IwAR2gsK-IdFu2z_LyOxyTZD_vue-mQYMGvjcOXmIlo1nfdwGmBuzp9uw-cao

    He's a dentist. He wants to maximize the chances he infects you.

    Lactated ringers? WTF are those, part of a HuCow fetish?

    If the teacher was writing to a third party robot league trying to blacklist the kid, won't he get crucified under FERPA?

    Inspired by the manscaping thread, I shaved my asscrack so that my existing TP stores will be more efficient.

    I went to Aldi today and it was pretty dead. No one buying a ton except me, and, honestly, I only bought a few extra things compared to my normal monthly shopping trip. Tons of canned goods left. Lots of rice, even the really big bags. They did seem low on beans, but that appears to be a merchandising decision from a few months ago.

    The dog could be environmentally contaminated, but that's been one of my big questions. Can dogs get it and, if so, can they spread it to other dogs in adjoining yards (not to mention all the strays)?

    Apparently the solution was to have someone other than Frakes direct the episode. Way too deus ex machina at the end.

    The series had its moments, but was always a pale imitation of the books. Except for the Winds of Winter episode (and maybe a couple of others), I already couldn't rewatch it.

    El Camino would like a word with you.

    Agreed with the weak story line and few side plots, but I'd say the problem was more that they didn't know how to work with a serial than that they weren't episodic enough. Airiam is the easiest example, her actual intro and end shoehorned into too tight a space. In a better serial, e.g. Game of Thrones, her intro as more than a background character would have been in season 1 and the show runners would have been competent enough to make sure she got the occasional touch. Another example would be the end-of-the-David-Tennant-era, series-4-Doctor-Who level of campiness with all the goodbyes and dialoguing at the end of Season 2. Picard suffers from the same problem. After years of binging series, we don't need subplot lines wrapped up in neat, episodic bows. They can let the subplots stew and breathe over the course of a season (or seasons).

    Very sad. She doesn't even know they don't use swabs for 23andme.
  17. Apep
    Definitely. Fifty-one years old and pure smoke.

    Meh. I think I'll cancel my CBS Subscription and re-up for one month after the next season of Discovery so that I can binge both at once.

    They were banned for reporting the same information as the Chinese university researchers I posted upthread. And doxxing. Nothing wrong about a ban for doxxing.
  20. Apep
    It's just shitty episodic writing, which was a big problem on Discovery, too. We can have Picard haunted by an Elnor dream sequence episodes before we meet the character. We don't need forced exposition at the beginning of the same episode.

    I wouldn't say the chains took over everything, at least not the big chains. Arlington has tons of mom-and-pop ethnic restaurants and then there are the local/small chains.Off the top of my head, I can think of Prince Lebanese Grill, Campo Verde, Mercado Juarez, Mariano's, Narah Cafe, Babe's Chicken, and Twisted Root Burgers.

    I sucked at video games as a kid. I had no sense of timing and zero patience. Outside of RPGs, I can't remember beating many games outside of Castlevania 2, Contra, and Kid Icarus. But it's different as an adult. As a grownup, I tried to play Link's Adventure. Got bored 2/3's of the way through after realizing it is all about timing the predictable patterns. I then tried playing Ninja Gaiden on the Switch. It is still tough. Now I've spent many hours watching the Ninja Gaiden WR speedrunner, Arcus, play Ninja Gaiden. I've even watched his tutorials on YouTube. I'm sure I could grind until I can beat the game, but it's not like I'm a Twitch streamer making money from the grind.

    So now even the ChiComs are saying it originated in the weapons lab? Sure it's the Daily Mail, but they're referring to a South Chinese Tech report.

    You can buy gray market CPAPs on websites like secondwindcpap.com. Buying them without being hassled for a prescription is better than the price.

    I've had two, though not more recently than a decade ago. They weren't big deals back then and I slept fine. The technology is better now, way less intrusive, so it should be even less of a hassle.
