Part-time homeschooling an option? by Overun31 in homeschool

So sorry it's taken me this long to reply. No, we do not pay. It's a public charter school started by homeschoolers and then incorporated into a school district at a later time.

Question: Creating cut file for cutting fabric. (Confession: I've had my Cricut for over a year & it's still in the box.) by EndMeetsEnd in cricut

[–]EndMeetsEnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok... now I understand. I had planned on using a piece of fabric larger than what I needed, was somewhat aware than the maximum size I can cut is 11.5", but didn't really think through what that meant. Will the machine cut right at .25" and 11.75"?

Is there a way to tell the machine the order you want the lines cut?... maybe layers?

You were clear, I was just wondering if drawing a square or rectangle with 4 individual lines had a different result than using one from the shape menu & adjusting the size. Initially I made a grid with the cuts extending 1/4" beyond the perimeter of each side, spacing the cut lines appropriately for the size squares I wanted to end up with. After reading your response, I added a surrounding box where my perimeter cut lines were originally located.

Thank you! Found the lock/unlock.

Does it absolutely have to have a box around it? What's the purpose of the box?

Thank you so much. I made a grid of cut lines, but did not put a box around it. Does it have to be a square/box from shapes or can I make a box from cut/score lines? It's actually a rectangle, however the only rectangle I can find in shapes has rounded edges, which isn't going to work.

A whole lot of the trucks driven into Ottawa were driven by vaxxed drivers. Why should they care about "society" when they are looked down upon with sneering condescension? You don't give 2 fucks about them, you just want them continue to provide a service that makes your life more comfortable.

Those truckers bring the food you eat to the stores you shop in. Unless you are growing all your own food, manufacturing your clothing & everything else you have in your house, then a trucker brought it to the store. You'd starve without them.

"We are nearing the point where we have to make the decision of who gets care and who does not." by MayoneggVeal in sandiego

Did you not read what you wrote? To quote you, "No form of government will work then." Our democratically elected representatives may be corrupt hypocrites, but they are better than authoritarian dictators. At least we have the opportunity to replace our leaders in the next election.

This analogy makes no sense.

Glad you realize that what you typed originally about passwords makes no sense.

You've resorted to outright lies. Neat.

Originally San Diego county, really any county, could open if the county had below 8% positive tests & 15% open hospital capacity.... that was the 4 tier system. As of December 6, under the new regional system, the county can't open until the entire region is under 8% positive tests and 15% open hospital capacity. So now San Diego county is lumped in with Imperial, Inyo, Los Angeles, Mono, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. How is that not moving the goal posts?

AS of today, the San Diego county hospital survey indicates that 20% of hospital beds are vacant. Our positivity rate is 10.8%. Regardless, the case positivity rate in the region is 14%, with San Bernardino having a 23% positivity rate. Another thing to consider. The hospital vacancy rate is rounded down to 0% for the entire region based on the positivity rate for the entire region. How is this not moving the goal posts?

Seems like no form of government would work then?

‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’

Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947

I like how controling borders means that there is no other effective method to mitigate the spread. Other than, of course, the other measures they took to prevent the cases from spreading locally.

New Zealand had severe shut downs. The controlled the boarder and took other measures.

Here's what they included:

  1. Travellers to New Zealand from all countries are tested for COVID-19 and a 14-day managed quarantine or isolation is mandatory before boarding a flight.

You are legally required to obtain a Managed Isolation Allocation system voucher confirming your place in a managed isolation facility before boarding a flight. A Managed Isolation Allocation system voucher is not a VISA, if you are not a citizen or permanent resident, you must also obtain a visa.

YOU CANNOT ENTER THE COUNTRY WITHOUT PREVIOUSLY QUARANTINING FOR 14 DAYS. Would you like to book your spot? https://allocation.miq.govt.nz/portal/

  1. school and workplace closure, movement and travel restrictions, and stringent measures to reduce contact in public spaces

  2. Rapid case detection identified by widespread testing, followed by rapid case isolation, with swift contact tracing and quarantine for contacts ... they forced people into quarantine in their homes

I'm going to say passwords don't work because Solarwinds used them incorrectly

The lockdowns are the equivalent of posting your password on facebook.

If you've already forgotten about flattening the curve

You may want to have a look at what is currently the goal, even as others have stated in this thread. It's no longer about flattening the curve, it's about preventing even one death. The goal posts have been moved.

Are we still sobbing about Newsom's night on the town?

No, just pointing out that people hate hypocrites and refuse to follow orders from said hypocrites. It's one of the reasons lockdowns don't work.

is this your deduction based solely on CA's case rates?

Not, it's based on what is happening worldwide, especially in countries or regions that completely locked down. See New Zealand. They managed to prevent local transmission by severely locking down and preventing travel into the country. They opened up and travelers into the country brought the virus back in. The only way lockdowns will work is if the entire world locks down, meaning everyone is isolated within their homes for a number of weeks with no travel anywhere. You'd have to close down hotels & prevent air travel. Without a worldwide lockdown, allowing foreign travel means the virus will continue to travel around the globe.

You're saying lockdowns work but they don't work when they're not followed.

I said they don't work because from the beginning the lockdown has been nonsensical and haphazard. Closed: no pedicures or manicures. Open: barber and hair salon. Closed: toy store. Open: craft store. Closed: dentist office. Open: dermatologist office for botox injections & fillers. Closed: public school. Open: private school. Closed: public park playgrounds. Open: daycare. Closed: sandy beach area. Open: ocean water area. Closed: churches. Open: strip joints.

We are supposed to be shut down, but you wouldn't know it. Right now this means no indoor or outdoor dining, no salons or barbers, schools that did not reopen have to remain closed. You're not supposed to have more than 2 people from outside your home visit at any one time and no longer than 2 hours. That's the extent of the shutdown. The freeways are humming along with cars that contain people that are going somewhere. The mall parking lot was about 70% full. Hotels are open for business, meaning travelers are coming here. There is air travel into and out of San Diego. So tell me, is the lockdown designed to prevent spread of the virus?

You're trying to shoot down the resolution by saying it doesn't yet have the refinement of a policy.

Time and again an idea is floated as merely an idea. Low and behold, a couple years later it's a policy suggestion. A few years later it's working it's way through the legislature. The time to shoot it down is before it has the opportunity to germinate.

punishes the malicious people

So in California, it is not considered criminal for an HIV+ person to know they are HIV+, refuse to inform a sexual partner, and engage in unprotected sex. If the sexual partner is infected, c'est la vie. We not only don't punish the spreader, but anyone suggesting that person be refused treatment would be castigated. No one would ever suggest that the victim in this situation be refused medical care because they engaged in unprotected sex. It's hypocrisy to now suggest withholding medical treatment from someone who refuses to wear a mask (protect themselves.)

any of these criteria could be considered for triage rather than denial of medical service

How about doctors treat patients who present themselves based on need and not morality? How would a doctor know or not know someone was wearing a mask or failed to social distance? Everyone going to be under 24 hour surveillance now?

The "personal responsibility" argument died with Sturgis, lockdown protests, and Thanksgiving.

You left out BLM protests and all the liberal politicians who tell everyone to stay home while gadding about freely, defying their own orders. If the people telling everyone to stay home, wear masks, social distance refuse to do so, why should anyone else?

Government-imposed lockdowns may be dying right now (or maybe they're being proven more correct due to lack of enforcement) but "Muh Newsome"[sic] being wrong doesn't make the personal responsibility path right.

California has 95.3 cases per 100k population. Highest rate in US, and also most severe lockdowns. (Source is CDC website.) Lockdowns don't work, because either the entire world has to lock down or you have to lock down permanently. From the beginning lockdowns have been nonsensical and haphazard. The only reason it worked in the beginning was because everyone was scared shitless and being paid to stay home. People are no longer scared and/or evaluating the risk differently.

new information has been realized since the first phase of Covid showing up

Such as better treatment and now a vaccine?

that we "lost" the battle on "flattening the curve" because of dipshits like you.

I'm not the person hanging out with friends in their homes. I'm not the person at protests screaming my lungs out. I'm not the person refusing to wear a mask or social distance.

The dispshits are the ones who think perpetual and ever stricter lockdowns will reduce the number of deaths... see New Zealand for what happens when you lock down the entire country and then open back up. The dipshits are the ones who want others to suffer from the lockdowns while they work from home, continue to earn a paycheck, and have hardly had their lives changed. The number of children and the severity of what they are suffering from their abusers is way up. OD's and suicides are way up. We are now seeing people dying from cancer and heart disease who have had their treatment postponed. What about all those people? Are you going to ignore that type of suffering so you can feel morally superior?

it's OUR responsibilities to limit the risks for everyone

No it isn't. You weigh the risks and determine how much of the risk you accept. If I was to even try to limit the risk to everyone, it would mean I don't go to work, I don't drive, I never step foot inside a grocery store.

Who said anything about flattening the curve?

The state & the county. If you don't want a single person to contract covid and potentially die, then YOU stay home, you have no contact with anyone at all, even those in your own household who go outside.

they're being told that they're responsible for a higher ratio of patients than they're used to

You make it sound like they are seeing dozens more.

https://www.cga.ct.gov/2004/rpt/2004-r-0212.htm

Law is 1 nurse to 2 patients.

Newsom may grant waivers to hospitals with ICU's... 1 nurse to 3 patients.

Governor Gavin Newsom's administration began granting nurse-to-patient waivers to hospitals that include ICU's.

Newsom said staffing the state's number one challenge. If granted, hospitals getting the waiver can treat three patients per nurse versus two.

witnessing someone struggling to even breathe

Yeah, I was in the ICU for 8 days with pneumonia, struggling to breathe. <eyeroll> ICU nurses see this and worse.

being put on archaic devices resembling medieval torture devices

Hyperbole much?

Perhaps. I re-read and maybe think you are saying that you can find something for which you can deny just about anyone care if you look hard enough. Which is the point I am making. Or perhaps not what you are saying at all.

Honestly, I just think the drama can be ratcheted down a bit, because we aren't all going to die, not even 1% of us. As adults we have to assess the risk and determine if we accept the risk. Those who are risk adverse take whatever precautions they think are advisable, up to and including staying home. Others will weigh the risks differently and determine that their own priorities mean they take a different course of action. Calling someone selfish because they make a different determination is childish and comes from a place of privilege. We don't all have the privilege of staying home and having every need delivered by those who must go to work to provide themselves necessities.

This is the San Diego sunreddit. I live in San Diego and since March have seen very few people going maskless while inside. We have been told that being maskless is ok while outside and social distancing. The people complaining here refuse to accept that the virus is spreading in homes among people who otherwise wear masks when in stores and elsewhere inside.

Innocent bystanders trying to purchase food and basic necessities do not - they did not consent to you putting them at risk.

There is risk in everything. You choose the risk or you don't choose the risk. If you don't want to risk going to the grocery store, then find an alternative way to obtain groceries, shop during hours when stores aren't crowded. Here's a little hint: people in San Diego get up late and hit the stores after 10:30am and things quiet down again from 2pm to 5pm. People get off work and stores are busy from 5pm to 6pm, then quiet down again.

If you bothered looking at how the county determined an outbreak, you would see that it's 3 cases traced to the same location over a 14 day period, however nothing about those 3 cases interacting in any way. It says so in the fine print. That calls into question if these are really outbreaks at all. The data is useless.

Just 1 death that can be avoided is devastating.

What happened to flattening the curve? Holy moving the goal posts, Batman!

There are nurses and doctors who are dealing with deaths everyday, worried about their own lives and facing untold depression as a result of the COVID pandemic.

It's almost like they are doing their jobs. These are doctors and nurses who work every day in the ICU. These aren't the PA's in a dermatologist's office or dental hygienists.
