  4. This is an interview that happened. There are two men, both wearing suits. One man's tie is red, the other is mostly blue, perhaps an aqua (no cr). The interviewer is wearing the type of boot that some might describe as being "for pussies" (1). There appears to be wainscoting throughout the room. An antique bureau of some sort can be seen behind the man in the red tie, who is the president of the United States.

  9. That's a small short term study and the damage has not been studied out for morbidity and mortality. The actual heart damage does not appear to be that significant for most but makes a nice scary headline. I wouldn't freak about any of the stupid news headlines until your doctor freaks out about the stupid headlines. I can tell you the hypervigilance by the layman in reading the headlines is driving doctors crazy. Our 24 hour news cycle coupled with every dweeby ego driven researcher wanting their moment of glory or misplaced catastrophe warning has given the populace a huge generalized anxiety disorder. Your not going to change anything by worrying about every nuance of Covid 19. For example, Covid was going to knock out all our kidneys, but I have seen data recently that shows acute kidney injury is far less damaging than they first feared. My biggest long term concern for now is pulmonary remodeling from unchecked viral immune response. We could see a significant subset of people with reduced pulmonary function but that remains to be seen. Lung tissue is pretty good about healing unless permanently scarred. Yes, this virus is newish and weird but it's still a virus from a family that has infected humans forever and we haven't changed physiologically in thousands of years except from our poor lifestyle choices. The potential is much scarier for a different type of disease that could alter humanity but Covid ain't it on a macro evolutionary scale. We certainly can demand a better infrastructure to our public health and infectious response entities but besides being healthy, there's not much else for you or I to do. I refuse to go through life scared of it.

  10. I will always hold a sweet spot for Beirut. Back in 1972, '73 and early '74 while working in Kuwait (think oklahoma, no booze, nothing) our weekend getaway was Libon. Flying Kuwait Airways (again, no liquor) and landing in Beirut I noticed troops everywhere and tanks and artillery all around the airport and runways. Nevertheless, we arrived at the super smart Phoenician Hotel which had swim up mermaids (live ones) in the swimming pool bar staring at us through the plexiglass windows. I later learned the hotel was leveled in the Civil War. A night up in the Cedars at the Casino was just what I needed. A quick trip south to Sidon and Tyre with a driver (who had a big assed weapon). As I toured the ancient Phoenician grounds by myself around the ruins Israeli jet aircraft swooped low enough and fast enough to scare off my driver. A few hours later thankfully he returned as I had no clue how I was to get back to Beirut other than a camel. We stopped at a bar on the way back to Sidon and just as we crossed the Litani River I spotted a hole in the wall bar. I wanted a drink. The driver told me we were in the Arab Partitioned dry side of Libon. I asked if the could get me a coke then instead. He informed me you cannot drink coke in Arab world only Pepsi. As I started to exit his car he told me to get back inside. We were in the area of shall we say anti Ugly American. He retrieved my Pepsi and we headed back to the hotel. This was repeated many weekends (Friday-Saturday in Arab world) in Beirut proper. I didn't vernture outside the city any more except up in the hills to the Casino. I learned Libon had never had a recent census taken. The Government required a Christian President and a Muslim something. The Christians knew they were badly outnumbered and would never allow a census. Sort of sounds like America today lol. Anyway I loved the place, still do, and hated to watch them rip themselves apart in a Civil War with the damned Christians/Hezbollah/Syria and every other devil on our planet.

  12. His bumbling with the papers and insistence that they represented the unreported truth might have invited pity for any other aging leader. Captain Queeg becomes sympathetic by the end of that excellent movie. The speech by Jose Ferrer brings it into focus. Queeg is a flawed man not a bad man. With Trump, his absolute lack of integrity, decency, and empathy makes him pitiful but not pitiable. The papers he shuffled are filled with death that he tries to spin into success and glory. Can there be a better real life example of the Emperor's new clothes? He remains the principal bubo of our plagued electorate. That's damn close to being literal now that Covid is killing people and soon to be killing a child near you. He's an oozing malignancy in open view. So is this country while his people run it.

  25. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-05-07/comparing-coronavirus-deaths-by-age-with-flu-driving-fatalities Case to case flu is more dangerous for teenagers. This holds true with a slight increased risk per case until older age then something interesting happens at 85 where flu seems to take over again. This of course is case to case. Covid has a greater R factor and will theoretically infect more of every age so you can obviously end up with more Covid fatalities per age group as a whole from sheer volume of infection. The article also discusses relative risk to other mortality factors as well. Your high school or college student is still much more likely to die from a car accident even if Covid went unchecked and killed millions of Americans.

  26. Fuck’em. If you’ll lie about some petty shit like drone training, my guess is you’ll lie about the big stuff too. How many other times did this guy lie? I know it seems stupid that he can be banned for life for this, but the more accountable we hold police then the better they become. Employees and people without account tend to be shitty employees and shitty people.

  27. Me, the dog and the 5 members of the family sleeping in a rest stop outside Cleveland at 3:30 in the morning. Not what I thought would be in the likelihood for this morning when I woke up to go to the hoops hall of game with the boy. Skipped niagra falls. Making a 1600 mile run to teddy Roosevelt national park in western North Dakota. Not a lot of room left in the back of the truck. Looks like traditional tent camping and some time in extended stays on the agenda for the next 2 or 3 months. Then, I get to fly back to Connecticut (nearest RV place where we dumped it to get fixed) and drive to California probably to catch up with my family. That sounds fun in October. Worry about that when it gets there. And wife is not mad at me bc 1) she’s cool and 2) she was driving the truck and I was following her, so she picked the route and speed with which the RV bit the embankment. Did I mention the one good piece of news? Fully covered on the likely $25000 worth of repairs, absent a $1,000 deductible, so that’s pretty cool and got that going for me o guess. Oh yeah, put a tarp over the truck and it got shredded in half on the trip, and we caught the leading edge of tropical storm, so my stuff is a little wet right now, but hoping it doesn’t run into rain between here and the dakotas in probably 2 more days. Only 18 hours and 18 minutes of drive time left per the navigation equipment. Something like 1143 miles.

  29. Stupid sips. Jimbo runs a real NFL offense not that BDF bullshit. It's a hand in the dirt, FB, 2 TE offense. Just like the *checks notes* Super Bowl Champion, uhhhh Kansas City Chiefs and their *checks notes one more time* college style spread offense led by Super Bowl MVP and BDF-tested QB Patrick Mahomes. Stupid sips.

  30. Why doesn't someone go and look at how much the COA has spent on homelessness for the past 5 years that Adler has been in office. Get the total number of all programs. Now, stop and think, every fucking nickel of that was completely wasted and we are far, far, FAR worse off than we were ten years ago and heading in an even worse direction. So the takeaway is that whatever the fucking plan was has failed miserably and we need to go in a different direction rather than continually shoveling money into the same hole. As someone mentioned up thread today, this problem is so overwhelming that there is NO possible fix that the COA can implement to make it better and continuing to give them money thinking that they will is asinine. The citizens are fed the fuck up with the trash, the massive homeless camps and the harassment and the violence and the drugs, and the sympathy is waning rapidly.

  32. The thing that really bothers me about the way the city has handled it is that they've done a great job of destroying sympathy for the homeless. I have talked to many, many people who might not be bleeding hearts but understand that the homeless problem is largely that of mental health and addiction, and understand the need for resources and effort to help them. But having these guys out in public trashing everything and creating general nuisance and safety issues for the community at large has turned the sentiment into "get these people the hell out of here". Every time I drive down Ben White, it makes me a little less sentimental and bittersweet about moving out of the city I was born and raised and consider "my city". I'd actually appreciate if they'd set up in my street for these last couple of days so I don't have any second guessing of the decision. I think @Bozo_Casanova is one of the better posters on this site when it comes to politics and governmental logistics, but no amount of parsing and explaining government nuance is going to change the fact that you just can't have roving meth camps within a well-struck six iron of schools and foot traffic areas that families use. You just can't. Period. That is not acceptable.

  35. Was nice to see a reporter not back down, especially on the COVID death rate. Would've been even better to bring up the pregnancy analogy. "Mr. President, we derive America's birth rate from our population, not from how many people take a pregnancy test. Newborns don't really care if you had a pregnancy test or not."
