I like the Lone Ranger mask, did Zorro have one too? "It says masks are mandatory, and I'm wearing a mask!" Okay, I looked. You could also carry a rapier, or whatever that kind of thin sword is.!
I think she meant to say Durward Kirby
“Badeball, bin bery, bery gud to me.”
A well stated brief summary. Orlin Grabbe was on to the founding of the intel / industrial complex.
IMO one cannot brush past the start: ProMIS software: Prosecutor's Management Information System ... ostensibly a program to help federal prosecutors keep track of their many investigations and trial obligations; designed by Inslaw.
Almost immediately Inslaw noticed that its assist program had been appropriated by the UsGvt; soon thereafter it began to appear in intel software used all over the world.
For a simpleton like myself, I would say that it was discovered that ProMIS software could tie together many loose ends and help in investigative conclusions. It proved useful in high level banking transactions and rumors spread that there were 'back doors' through security blocks for those in the know.
Perhaps the wild west of software design. Certainly with exploding technologies the basic design principles of ProMIS has morphed in to many manifestations, some that might lead to total control over populations. An interesting phenomenon.
Funny tweets about “George Kirby” over on Twitter.
The Senate needs to trash their filibuster rule.@@@@@@@@@@@@
The senate simply needs to return to the “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” filibuster rule.
Be recognized and speak your peace to make your point to the people and your fellow senators. Then VOTE!
No backroom deals, no prisoners! The Senate must Stand Up and Be Counted!
P.S. no more omnibus bills, let legislation stand or fall on its own merits.
MAGA! WWG1WGA!
Big WIN in Texas on Mail-In Ballots!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 26, 2020
The ‘authorities’ are SO clever. They know that had they said on March 15 that we’d be locked down (up?) until July, August, September or whenever 15th there would be hell to pay.
I guess they know the story of the frog in a pot of boiling water just as well as we do.
Incremental authoritarian rule is the ONLY way in a 2nd Amendment Society.
Enjoy your frog soup
re: are test double counted
Excellent question and no, I don’t have answer. But as usual we can follow the money and I betcha if govt is paying testing facilities for the tests then Yes, I can see double counting big possibility/ Let me know if anyone answers you, please.
Thats a poor path to take. From an OSHA angle, the best avenue would be respirable particle size. Under no circumstances can you use an N95 mask in a workplace setting for working with friable asbestos, or crystalline silica (to name a couple items), and virii are smaller than the size of concern for both those.
Additionally, the masks create an environment which concentrates the virus density if the user has it. An important factor in getting a disease is the innoculative load. If you get a few hundreds or thousands (numbers purely for example) your body may get on top of the infection before it has a chance to really take root and create serious illness. If you get hit with hundreds of millions it will have a leg up on putting your immune system to the test before it figuratively shakes itself out and gets onto a war footing.
The only mask remotely capable of actually preventing facial/respiratory access to the virus is going to be a full face respirator with at minimum HEPA cartridges on it. People that work with emergent disease are almost always in positive pressure supplied air suits.
These things are small, if you can smell a fart while wearing your mask you can get covid through it (and BTW, thats probably one of the primary transmission means, fecal particles).
Tim Scott. Not about race, it is good vs. evil
Seriously? They are big enough to tie?

I'm going to answer all these wonderful questions by going back to my position all along: ALL THE DATA IS FLAWED, but the confirmed cases seems a little more solid than other categories, especially deaths.
What I HOPE to be able to track is the TREND.
The national trend is UP; but, I fully expect it to start back down again in a short time (less than 2 weeks) as the CV Wave rolls on past the South and into Mexico.
Incidentally, Italy reduced their Total Deaths yesterday as opposed to the day before, thereby reporting a negative number of deaths for the day; so, I guess Zombie Apocalypse has finally arrived.
And I bet you were just asking yourself, as was I: "What else could go wrong?"
If somebody actually presses that mask thing I've always got a bandanna in my back pocket. Takes a second or two to put 'er on and pro-cede in full cowboy-in-the-dust mode.
Don't know about the tourist towns, but haven't seen more than 1-in-10 people wearing masks around here and only some of the Big Boxes/National stores making their staff wear 'em. (Or approximations or bandannas or hangin' off their ear or...)
Don't call Montana the "Don't Mess with Me" state for nothin'. Entirely too many stubborn SOB's around....
Big Dem turnout. Surge in registration. Neck-and-neck polls. Trump on the air. Georgia is a battleground state, folks.
Monday morning, along with @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock, I will be holding a virtual press avail to discuss the latest developments in our state. #gapol https://t.co/anAtr8Sbzj— Stacey Abrams (@staceyabrams) June 26, 2020
Absolutely! When this started a friend asked how long governors could keep businesses and people locked down. I responded: until the people demand their freedom rights; it WILL be up to the people. Opening businesses one by one is useless. Local C of C business groups must lead for hundreds of businesses to open simultaneously; let the police arrest them by the thousands or step aside.
Individual patriotic businesses have opened and been crushed, scaring all the others to knuckle under. sad.
“You could also carry a rapier, or whatever that kind of thin sword is.!”
That is a sidesword or smallsword, the rapier (which that is often mistaken for) is a longer and thicker sword.
I think the sword may be going a bit too far LOL, but I guarantee I will fashion a zorro -type mask and wear it, either that or cut breathing holes in an n95!
What are they gonna do? I want to see the law about type of mask to be worn.
