  1. I like this video [mod notes: I love much of the graphic presentation - clear, catchy, and easy for a layperson to understand. Areas where the info it presents has been filled in: 1) There's enough data from countries that have contained the epidemic at this point to say with some confidence that the death rate is >4% in areas/countries where the health care system is overwhelmed, and <1% in areas/countries where the spread is slowed enough that the health care system can handle it 2) The info about the primary spread being through person to person aerosol transmission (breathing or coughing) is likely correct but transmission from touching surfaces then touching face is also thought to occur. A new study has shown the virus can live on porous surfaces (paper, cardboard, hair, cloth) for ~3 hrs, and hard surfaces for 1-2 days. 3) The video presents secondary bacterial pneumonia/sepsis as a cause of death in serious cases. Increasing evidence suggests that cytokine storm may be involved - the immune system gets excessively triggered by the virus and goes into overdrive. [Remember this phrase when speaking to the physician of a loved one with high fever/difficulty breathing: "did you request a serum ferritin test to screen for cytokine storm?"]. If known to be occurring, there are specific pharmaceutical treatments for cytokine storm.
  2. Has anyone done the double forward pass yet?
  3. Yes. https://inhomepeteuthanasia.com/
  4. IF we beat the Pats, play the starters against the Jets. IF we lose to the Pats, I have no problem with sitting the starters against the Jets because we already have the 5 seed locked up. We all saw the scare with Tre. Would hate for that to happen in a meaningless game against the Jets if we lose to the Pats.
  5. Pats have to lose to the Bills of course, and lose to either the Bengals or Dolphins. Bills have to win out.
  6. Poor Darby. Great coverage, better throw and catch.
  7. I can see that if we win those three. We most likely would have clinched a spot with the NE win, so McDermott might rest the starters for the Jets game.
  8. Frank Gore is a true class act.
  9. They should have replied with 3 weeks is longer than he was with the Patriots
  10. That's amazing. So what you're saying is all I need is a donkey and tools?
  11. Any woodworkers here? I'm thinking about getting started. I've made a couple of crude boxes and that's it. I use my dad's jig saw and drill from the 1970s. What tools should I start with? I'm not looking to seriously get into it like building tables or other furniture. Just probably going to be casual and stick with small things. I'm going to get a workbench. I'm going to upgrade the jig saw and drill. I'll might get a power sander. Haven't decided if I need a table saw or circular saw yet. Any recommendations on brands? Just like everyone, I want something affordable and reliable. This is the workbench I'm thinking of getting: https://www.amazon.com/Pegasus-Multi-Function-Sawhorse-Clamps-Holding/dp/B01HREBZ3M/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WHM2BB1NM5NXQ3SGWJSY
  12. Who's down to send him chocolate chip pancakes?
  13. He was in the pool!
  14. So you can't use paper tickets anymore? It HAS to be mobile? When did this happen?
  15. Saints can't catch a break. Roughing the kicker.
  16. I hope he threw that because it's preseason. Hopefully he won't do that during regular season.
  17. Allen is playing for both teams?
  18. Wow. He is getting roasted. How long until he deletes his Twitter?
  19. Is anyone planning on starting a guild for the message board?
  20. I don't think they ever killed him off. If I remember correctly, the actor became ill or something. I guess they could have replaced him like the Mountain. I thought the finale was ok. Jon is definitely going to do his own thing. I think Bran sent him to the wall because he knows that's where he'll be the happiest besides Winterfell and to avoid conflict. Jon did seem to crack a slight smile when they were heading north. Nobody is going to enforce any rules Jon breaks and I don't think Greyworm is going to check up on him. Speaking of the Unsullied, won't they eventually die out since they can't reproduce?
  21. Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're are no friends of mine I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find And we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind, And we can dance
  22. Because the Earth is round! Checkmate flat earthers! And Jaime kills Cersei.
