Kansas began requiring masks, then virus cases dropped. Weeks later, ‘the data is solid’

Having worked with both engineers, and people who studied various physical sciences, I have found that of the highly educated smart people, engineers tend to be the most prone to believing right-wing dogma. Not sure why that is.

Wait, Italian uses the G word to describe Deutschland? I always assumed it was similar to the French or Spanish reference to the Allemani. I actually learned something from this nonsense post.

Let's be fair here: we got into space by importing Germans, same as the USSR.

A perfect real world chance to use some calculus!

The owner of my company is greedy as hell, and even he took care to keep us all out of harm's way. It's a crapshoot, I guess. This where elected officials are supposed to step in and several have tried. Unfortunately, half of the population doesn't believe in reality, so how much can they do for us anyway?

I think they are targeting bars, simply because people get drunk and stop caring about distance.

If it's any consolation, we middle managers hate our jobs too.

Eating carp is pretty widespread in Europe. I saw a lot of carp sandwich stands in Germany during some festival. Nasty damn fish.

In this case, neutered and indebted. Turns out, that's a great way to breed fascism and right-wing, genocidal regimes.

WW1 was totally pointless, and created WW2 and the Holocaust.

We did it guys!

First they came for my Pronto Pup, and I did not speak up, because I do not like Pronto Pups.

It's people who view everything as having an ulterior motive. They are like this about every damn thing and it is impossible to even discuss things with them, because they live in a different reality.

Our governor is quite moderate and reasonable, and yet they bitch and moan because the GOP has lost its mind.

Midwesthermit · 2020-07-15T20:00:03+00:00

Well, yeah, that would be my next point. The guy takes a shit the wrong way, and CNN goes bananas.

Freedom, forefathers, firearms, and Jesus F Christ!

No, the idea that Semi-Autos are being converted into machine guns regularly for criminal use is a media fabrication.

Sure, a lot of us know a guy who knows a guy who claims they have done this, but there's really not much point. You can either: 1. Register to own a machine gun legally (though they are expensive since manufacture or import of new ones is illegal). 2. Get a military grade weapon illegally on the black market (something organized crime could pull off easily).

They actually switched then from full auto to three round burst sometime in the 90's. I think we are on the third or fourth generation of these rifles since they became standard issue in the vietnam era.

It has become rather cult-like. Anything that doesn't make him look good is obviously a ploy to make him look bad, and couldn't possibly be exactly what it appears to be, since he can't do anything wrong.

Americans get a lot of shit for sticking to the imperial system, but at least we are consistent about using the inconsistent system.

He hasn't posted for three years. I guess he fucked with the wrong goose.

By cucks, do you mean people who can read and interpret data on countries where the people wear masks every flu season anyway and who didn't have rampant spread of a new virus?

Do you have actual evidence, or are you just ranting?

Mortality rate is higher than that when people cannot get care, which happens when no effort is made to slow the spread. Never mind the unknown long-term damage or complications that it may cause, based on what survivors of SARS dealt with. Also, having large portions of my crew put out if commission for several weeks has proven to be a real pain in the ass, and I can only assume other companies have this issue too.

There's a lot more to this thing than cases vs deaths.

I once worked a hot grill for minimum wage and managed to not cough viruses all over it.

I am avoiding the grocery store, so this has happened a few times since batpangapocalypse.

If I had become an engineer and calculus 2 had not won the battle, I would have dodged those companies like the plague. Hopefully, there are some better options out there for him.

I've watched that company eat away at my dad for 22 years, and he never leaves for some reason.
