  1. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, so if it's not, please delete. I think it's relevant because it shows how much misinformation is out there and we all know how dangerous that can be. I hesitated posting this because it has the potential to go to the dark side. I'm hoping that doesn't happen. Researchers: Nearly Half Of Accounts Tweeting About Coronavirus Are Likely Bots https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/05/20/859814085/researchers-nearly-half-of-accounts-tweeting-about-coronavirus-are-likely-bots Researchers culled through more than 200 million tweets discussing the virus since January and found that about 45% were sent by accounts that behave more like computerized robots than humans. It is too early to say conclusively which individuals or groups are behind the bot accounts, but researchers said the tweets appeared aimed at sowing division in America. "We do know that it looks like it's a propaganda machine, and it definitely matches the Russian and Chinese playbooks, but it would take a tremendous amount of resources to substantiate that," said Kathleen Carley, a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University who is conducting a study into bot-generated coronavirus activity on Twitter that has yet to be published. Researchers identified more than 100 false narratives about COVID-19 that are proliferating on Twitter by accounts controlled by bots. Among the misinformation disseminated by bot accounts: tweeted conspiracy theories about hospitals being filled with mannequins or tweets that connected the spread of the coronavirus to 5G wireless towers, a notion that is patently untrue.
  2. Have you ever heard of QVC?
  3. Bright light, almost blinding Black night, still there shining I can't stop, keep on climbing Looking for what I knew Had a friend, she once told me "You got love, you ain't lonely" Now she's gone and left me only, looking for what I knew Mmm, I'm telling you now The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now It's very easy, just-
  4. Put orange slices out yesterday. Hoping a) the squirrels don't steal them and b) they lure some orioles to my yard.
  5. 24-years-old and still NOT ONE 300-yard passing game. What the hell is the matter with you???
  6. Football is a game. Crimes like sexual assault and murder end, ruin and change lives for multiple victims. Get a ***** grip. Celebrating murderers, sex offenders and woman beaters is stupid. What someone does on the field is immediately null and void when they are found guilty or liable of such crimes. I hope the Pegulas eventually have a tad of class and remove #32 from the wall ... and that they keep scum like Bennett off of it. Football is a goddamn game.
  7. Folz, thank you for this. I love the numbers to state your case and you are absolutely right, my friend. Everything you said is spot on. Franchise guy? No. Journeyman starter? Yes. And what makes him, in my opinion, a step above the rest .... he's always known his place. He's never caused drama. He's always been the consummate team player. He's always taken full advantage of the opportunities he's been given, but he's never gone out of his way to CREATE those opportunities. A pure class act. And to your point ... a legitimate starter throughout his career. Cheers, brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Good point, thank you!
  9. You couldn't be more wrong, Agent Hotchner.
  10. It actually doesn't mention COVID-19 anywhere in the promotion, other than the delayed shipping. Why isn't anyone busting GNC's balls for selling snake oil supplements?
  11. Kind of like professional sports team owners and politicians!
  12. Why??? This is his business. It's a for profit business. Let him get his money. It's not like he's saying it cures Covid-19 .. or prevents one from contraction Covid-19. It's being sold as an immunity booster. I honestly don't understand the issue with this.
  13. Again ... what's the problem? Unless you're one of the people who's stupid enough to buy it, why does it concern you?
  14. I honestly don't see what the big deal is.
  15. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/iron-maiden-singer-bruce-dickinson-estranged-wife-paddy-bowden-dead "This is a terrible tragedy which appears to be a tragic accident. Our children Austin, Griffin and Kia, and I are devastated. Out of respect for Paddy, we won’t be making any further comment at this hugely difficult and painful time for our family," Dickinson, 61, shared via his rep. According to The Independent, Bowden was discovered at the couple's home in Chiswick, London, on Monday. The report says an ambulance was called to the scene at 9:42 a.m. but she was already pronounced dead upon their arrival. Bowden was Dickinson's second wife. The pair tied the knot in 1990 but split last year after 29 years of marriage. Calling it now ... he killed her.
  16. I've got a box of 2,000 of these sitting in my office right now. I've got another 300 N95 masks, too. I wear the disposable ones.
  17. Dancing days are here again Summer evenings grow I got my flower I got my power I got a woman who knows I said it's alright You know it's alright I guess it's all in my heart You'll be my only My one and only Is that the way it should start?
  18. So did Thurman Thomas.
  19. Yeah ... would've definitely wanted him to be a better player, but in fairness, he's a career backup for a reason. The Bills (and other teams) were stupid to think otherwise/pay him -- but GOOD FOR HIM, I say!!!
  20. Fitz will ALWAYS be not only one of my favorite Bills of all time, but one of my favorite NFL players of all time. I can't say one negative thing about the dude.
  21. Well I know it wasn't you who held me downHeaven knows it wasn't you who set me freeSo often times it happens that we live our lives in chainsAnd we never even know we have the key
