My brother died yesterday. He had a massive heart attack but it was preceded by him having a fever and a bad cough. We do not know yet if he had it but it seems quite possible, as he was a truck driver, working through all of this, all along the eastern part of the country. The worst part for me, other than losing my brother, is that I will not be able to go to his visitation or funeral. I will just be at his burial, keeping my distance from everyone else. I am one of those higher risk people. I have been cooped up in my house, other than sitting on my porch some, got the last two months, as precaution.22 points

I heard that most COVID deaths are actually old people who flash their brights at passing motorists whose lights are off, only to be murdered as part of an MS-13 Obamagate caravan’s gang initiation.16 points

You mean the advice from 2.5 months ago....the story about which literally has as its lead line "don't take up these masks that are in short supply and needed by healthcare workers?" You mean the advice from 2.5 months ago that hadn't yet incorporated the data-based conclusion that wearing a mask reduces the risk of transmission BY THE WEARER, so it protects other people? That advice? Circumstances and data change. We don't have to reserve all masks for healthcare workers anymore. And we've learned that reducing droplet spray to OTHERS is an important and helpful function of masks. Come on, man.13 points

I put this on the "Composition" thread, but we're really kind of a big dumb guitar rawk band, so here's some big dumb guitar rawk. Hopefully we can start talking about how to record big dumb rawk guitars. Left-panned guitar (the one that plays through the verses): mid-80's Gibson Les Paul Standard through a Marshall JCM 800 50 watt half-stack (deep Fender 4x12 cabinet that sounds unreal), Shure SM57 on lower left cone through Great River original mic preamp. No pedals. Right-panned guitar: fairly recent G&L ASAT Tribute Bluesboy semi-hollow Tele through a Vox "Tony Bruno" model (kind of Vox' Fender knockoff), Shure SM57 on the cone through Great River original mic preamp. No pedals. Bass: direct into the audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett) Drums: a pair of Microtech-Gefell M300 small diaphragm condenser overheads through Great River original mic preamp, an Electrovoice RE20 through a Sytek mic preamp on kick drum, a Shure SM57 through a Sytek mic preamp on the bottom head of the snare (which I regret, should have mic'ed the top head, but it always feel like I get too much "oom" and not enough "snk" and now all I have is "snk"). Vocals: Shure Beta 58 (because my large diaphragm condenser fell and seems to be busted) through the Focusrite Scarlett preamp, it's my daughter singing Keys: MIDI triggered via Yamaha S80 into Kontakt, Billy Preston organ patch All recorded and mixed in my spare bedroom. The DAW is Reaper, mix monitors are M-Audio BX8s, which have a surprising amount of low end response, sometimes leading me to mix a bit shy on the bottom end, but I tried. My meager attempt at compressing the stereo mix seems a bit obvious to me coming out of the bridge as the vocal ("it'll be alright") makes the band's level pump. I have a mastering friend who is going to take the uncompressed mix and do better.9 points

Love the cop next to him just watching the whole thing unfold and saying nothing. This is why the notion of that it is just "a few bad cops" is such horseshit. It is the whole system. The police have built an absolute us vs them mindset and even the "good" cops are complicit in the coverup for the bad ones. Until you make it to where the police pension & retirement funds are the ones that pay out the wrongful death or other settlements related to police violence nothing will change. Minneapolis taxpayers getting ready to see their tax dollars go to pay out for a completely needless and avoidable death. Fuck this cop, I hope an AD charges him with manslaughter. (never happen as they are equally complicit)9 points

I'm not sure what people are really arguing about. if a private business says you must wear a mask you wear it or don't go in. If a govt building/transportation says you must wear a mask you wear it or you don;t go in. I wear a mask indoors if required and will do it if it makes others feel more comfortable. If you are outside and someone is near you that isn't wearing a mask then move away. this thing just isn't deadly enough to worry about if you are under 70 and dont live in NY/NJ/Conn/Mass or Michigan. 100K people died in 1968 when we had a total pop of 200M and we didn't close schools or anything near what has been done now. I agreed with the 2-3week shutdown for a cycle of the virus and to prevent hospital overrun but what we are doing now isn't very smart given the data.7 points

I wish more people would stand up to dipshit dog owners who let their dogs off leashes in areas clearly marked as requiring a leash. A lot more people, because dipshit dog owners who don't like leashes are neck-and-neck with asshole bicyclists who try and own the road and fuck with cars. One of the parks near us, Ramsey, has a fairly dedicated group of dipshit dog owners who think the park is leash-free, and they run their dogs loose down around the baseball/soccer/quidditch/dodgeball/kickball area and basically try and stake it out as their turf. When they get called out on it, some of them go into a rage, and they love to swear until the cell phones come out to record them. The Rosedale school is right down the road, and it's got a fenced-in area, and those same dipshit dog owners treat it like a leash-free zone as well, but I think some of them were driven away from there, after AISD or whoever started giving them grief, and they ended up at Ramsey. Those fucking dogs will run up to kids, fuck with leashed dogs, and get their little packs going, they shit all over, and way too many owners don't clean up after them. In general, they are a serious nuisance, with a few occasionally turning into a menace when they go after other dogs or knock kids down when they are "just playing". I've had a lady try to tell me that "I SHOULD NOT STEREOTYPE RESCUE PIT BULLS BECAUSE I'M NOT A PIT BULL OWNER AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE OR WHAT THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH" (she was yelling at me, after I calmly told her what I'd do to her "precious" if it ran up to my kids again). It's gotten so ridiculous, that a small neighborhood group has gotten together and has been quietly filming these dipshits and their behavior, and IDing them. I guess the plan is to put their shit on blast on the neighborhood Facebook page and other forms of social media, and/or going to the city about it. I look forward to it, because the fights on Facebook and NextDoor have been epic, with lots of "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, I'M IN A TINY APARTMENT MY DOG IS ALMOST 100 POUNDS AND AND I CAN'T TAKE MY DOG TO A DOG PARK, SO I HAVE TO LET HER ROAM FREE SOMEWHERE!!!" The best was some asshole dog owner who let fly with the "you're the same type of person that would have persecuted the Jews". Sorry for the rant, it's just that we have small kids who have been accosted by these dogs, and we occasionally walk a neighbor's dog, and she is a very old dog, and does not need other dogs running up and fucking with her.7 points

Spot on. And if I can piggyback on this... The Republicans have, since the time of Reagan, and with the help of Fox news, waged a war on intellectualism. They openly mock university professors for being a bunch of liberal intellectual elitists. Think about that! They've actually managed to turn the fact that the majority of highly educated people are liberals, not conservatives, into a condemnation. This is not to say that there aren't highly intelligent Republicans. There certainly are. The problem is that they're a bunch of scumbags who are happy to brainwash the stupid into believing a bunch of lies (and the smart ones at the top know they're lies, make no mistake) so that they have the numbers to win elections and continue to profit off of the system. They've coached the stupid for years to be distrustful of the smart. When a scientist tells you that the climate is warming at an alarming rate because of our burning of fossil fuels, you can't trust them... That story is on CNN and MSNBC, and they're a bunch of libtards, and it's not on Fox News, and we're Fair and Balanced, so clearly that story must be bullshit. You just go fill up your King Cab right now and don't worry about it. If anyone ever doubted that the Republicans are a bunch of anti-intellectuals, the fact that Betsy DeVos was made Secretary of Education and the Republicans didn't howl, "what the actual fuck?!" along with the rest of us should've put that one to bed. They're no longer satisfied badmouthing highly educated people so that the stupid stay that way. Now they're trying to make sure there are no more highly educated people in this country at all. Pretty much everyone on the Republican side at this point is either stupid or evil enough to take advantage of the stupid. You don't like that? Well, if you vote for Trump again this fall, you don't have a leg to stand on. You're stupid or you're a piece of shit. Which is it?7 points

i thought Biden's response was spot on today.. "He's a fool. An absolute fool to talk that way," Biden told Bash. "I mean, every leading doc in the world is saying you should wear a mask when you're in a crowd. Especially when you know you're going to be in a position where you're gonna inadvertently get closer than 12 feet to somebody." "It's costing people's lives," Biden added. When asked if he believes that wearing a mask is the marker of strength or weakness, as Trump seems to think, Biden answered neither. "Leadership," he said. "What it presents and projects is leadership." "Presidents are supposed to lead, not engage in folly, and be falsely masculine,"6 points

my next door neighbor growing up had the most insane case of little man syndrome you've ever seen, plus sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies. he worshipped a&m, and his life's dream was to become a member of the vaunted aggy corp of cadets. his psycho parents fed into this kid's psycho tendencies by constantly weaponizing him throughout the years, making sure that every birthday and christmas he got a gaggle of new toys with which to set fire to things and murder animals. the guy seriously shot his brother's cat in the head with a real bow and arrow when he was in like 5th grade, and they just continued to give the little psycho more weapons- knives, swords, chinese throwing stars, stakes, spikes, you name it. I once saw him grab a gold fish out of their koi pond, douse it in lighter fluid, stab it to death with a garden spike, and then cheer and celebrate. this kid was the poster child for the triangle of sociopathy/future serial killer warning signs. guess what he does for a living now? yep. this psycho has been climbing the ranks at HPD for I want to say almost 15 years now, if not more. he started at the bottom, worked his way up to sargent, and is now quite high up within the homeland security division of HPD. i would say that this is frightening, and that it's only a matter of time before he kills someone, except that he already has killed someone, years ago, with a brand new shotgun that his idiot parents had bought him as a christmas gift. i mean you just knew he couldn't wait to use it, right? he got a report of a burglary, showed up to the scene, saw a teenager running out of the house and just blasted him right there on the front porch, no questions asked. kid died right there. that was over a decade ago, and yet the guy hasn't stopped climbing the ranks. Police are not special people, and in fact in my experience it is not uncommon at all for police forces around this area, the south, and even the country in general to be populated more by these types of of lifetime losers who just want a taste of power than they are by people who meet even the most basic standards of reason, empathy, and logic. they are not heroes, and in fact they far more often appear to be bullied kids who've grown up to be Legal Bullies with the Blue Shield protecting them more than they ever protect any of us. fuck cops, and fuck anyone who's still out here talking about "back the blue."6 points

As much as I love to bag on the dotard, the "health" concerns annoy the fuck out of me. It's the same thing they did with Hillary and are now doing with Biden. We know the man is not well. We've known this for 3.5 years. He's not going to drop dead on the job and we need to stop fishing for possibilities that he might. It's a waste of fucking time. Vote the fucker out. Don't hope for his incapacitation or death by spreading stupid twitter videos. Will it into being. If you will it, it is no dream.6 points

Welcome to everywhere, 2020 AD. I knew as soon as haircuts became a political issue that the last tiny sliver of hope that humanity had any ability left for rational conversation was doomed. Oh well, at least we're not talking about whether the gold standard would be good or bad for football.6 points

Also proven is that viral loading has an effect on the seriousness of the sickness, and masks reduce viral loading by capturing particulate matter. they don’t need to be perfectly efficient to have a dramatic overall effect on transmission.6 points

If you are so frail or fat and out of shape that wearing a mask is difficult and/or endangers your health, then you're at severe, severe risk of getting kilt by the Rona if you get it and shouldn't be in public anyway. But stupid gonna stupid.5 points
