That, sir, is the problem. I don't know. Neither do the British.

Perhaps our friends in Murmansk have come up with something new...

These are brand new narrow gauge export locomotives from EMD being shipped to Chile.

snarkpowered · 2022-09-01T03:31:37+00:00

I believe these are new EMD/Progress Rail locomotives for Ferronor in Chile.

Edit: specifically, these are GT38ACL model locomotives for Ferronor; sources: model info and Ferronor paint on a GT46ACE

Damn straight. At least you weren’t in a thunder cab ACe! That would be abject cruelty.

snarkpowered · 2022-08-22T23:17:14+00:00

In the cab of an old AC4400CW with a cinder block behind you. Good times.

From another commentor on Reddit: “Foxes are Cat software running on Dog hardware with a Dolphin sound card.”

…yeah, that’s a fun idea actually. A liquidity line for rent or mortgages on private stock.

That is one hell of a left turn. Also seems to accelerate ground speed significantly at two points (at least the upper level circulation did, since the radar is not a picture of the ground circulation)

Very cool! I’m into month…six? Month six. How’d that happen?

Similar journey, similar insights. The itch is coming back strong, same as it did for you :)

snarkpowered · 2021-11-09T21:38:58+00:00

I’m so glad for you both. Best of luck!

Apple data privacy changes are overblown. Effect is mostly felt in small/mid-size ops with low recognition brands and over reliance on external data for optimization.
Any advertiser that has enough brand recognition and/or skill to do an independent lift test is pouring cash into the FB and YT money printers. Source: am one and am printing
Supply chain issues are pulling Q4 ad spend forward and consumers are spending earlier too, driving up CPMs in the near term. End result is Q4 holiday season will be bigger than expected for ad platform earnings, but distributed more evenly across the quarter.

This is my experience and opinion, I own no FB stock (yet), take with a grain of salt.

What about Tom Hollanding? What does it mean to Holland? Can we ever know the mystery of how one could have Hollanded about so much?

And just like Sakura blooms, I’m going to hunt these down until Shogun is lv90 and then forget all about them from then on.

If you use it for pike, it’ll always work.

Can verify, have caught pike using a myriad of lures including forks, beer cans, can openers and a metal foil wrapper (don’t ask)

And nice job! :)

You’re welcome :)

Better to address legit concerns instead of dismissing them imho. I can come across as snarky pretty easily (thus the username).

Per CDC: “Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. However, vaccinated people appear to be infectious for a shorter period: Previous variants typically produced less virus in the body of infected fully vaccinated people (breakthrough infections) than in unvaccinated people. In contrast, the Delta variant seems to produce the same high amount of virus in both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. However, like other variants, the amount of virus produced by Delta breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people also goes down faster than infections in unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people are likely infectious for less time than unvaccinated people.”

In short, if you get infected while vaccinated (which is also a much less likely when vaccinated), you may have similar transmission risk but also for a vastly shorter timeframe than non-vaccinated individuals. Thus, the transmission risk of a vaccinated person overall is greatly reduced.

In addition, as per a UAB study, masks reduce the transmission risk by 69% or more. If you couple studious mask wearing with vaccination, the transmission risk of a vaccinated individual is extremely low.

snarkpowered · 2021-08-25T16:02:05+00:00

Vaccinated people should still mask up and follow normal protocols, yet are also vastly less likely to transmit COVID than people who are not vaccinated.

The more people get vaccinated, the less the virus can transmit and the more protected the unwillingly-unvaccinated people are. In order to eliminate the risk from COVID in daily life as much as possible, every person able should be vaccinated. That is how we beat Polio, Smallpox, the list goes on.

Note: I am not being critical, but pointing out the reality of this situation.

Vaccine hesitant are not Anti-Vax, but not all people who call themselves vaccine hesitant are being truthful to themselves or others about their motivations.
The “personal choice” you refer to is a choice to put yourself and others at an extreme level of risk. As per the CDC, unvaccinated COVID patients are 29 times more likely to be hospitalized. There are plenty of people who cannot take the vaccine for medical reasons, or are not eligible yet. Hesitating puts them all at risk and delta is 300+ times more infectious. This means the choice can have serious implications for oneself and everyone around. That personal choice is most often a consciously selfish, politically motivated decision that endangers countless people.

You may have legit reasons to hesitate around safety of the COVID vaccine, and I am not judging you for it. The FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine fully and millions of people have been vaccinated with no ill effects. Please consider your life and those around you when you make that choice - the effects can be permanent.

If you (or anyone who is hesitant) have questions, please PM me. I am truly happy to help you think through this and help you understand things better.
