    Don't you question our resident petting zoo messiah, he's special, he knows math, and he's well informed.

    I'm not special and am exceptionally uninformed, but I can make shit up.

    They are, according to her they're treating it just like a flu that develops into pneumonia.

    They may not, but the people doing the calculations are.

    Dude! Is that the “Wedge”?!? I know that’s not nice, don’t remember which of us gave her the name, but when we spent most of 04 on the Rez the two hotel clerks at one place, were one that looked like that and the other a beautiful Tsalagi princess looking thing named Rae... polar opposites... don’t remember which hotel even... travel and promotion moved us around to share the money I’m sure... holy shit that was 16 years ago now

    I just watched an interesting youtoob vid on the LondonReal channel where they were interviewing David Icke, well known conspiracy theorist about his thoughts on all this.

    I won't spoil it, but it's.....interesting i guess.

    Anyone with some math skills can calculate an appropriate transmission rate of 2.5 - based on how fast the virus is spreading.

    Don’t need no expert for that.

    Really hope I am wrong but I don’t think so.

    There were about 80,000 cases in the US when you wrote that on March 26th.

    Lets review that again in a week and then again after two.

    ? You might need another cup of coffee. You think we should go through all of this and not learn from it?

    my dad just wrote me that he’s considered a risk-candidate... stringer self isolation recommend...


    Makes me wonder. What will happen to the world if transmission is inevitable, no vaccine or prevention available, everyone with the smallest health issue and or over a certain age gets affected


    Crazy

    Just like any organism on this planet. Survival of the fittest.
    This should be a wake up call for people to learn, accept and deal with mortality. It’s inevitable.

    PS; there was a story this am about a 102 year old woman who recovered. THIS IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE like the media is portraying.

  20. I have a gym up there, but it just isn't the same.

    I had 5 surgeries on my left arm at once years ago, and because of being in a cast for a long time I had some serious atrophy. I normally warm up with one plate (45lbs) on each side. When I first went back, I could only bench press the empty bar for 4-5 reps. I was like "im not coming in this bigass gym at 220lbs, and asking for a spot to bench the empty bar". :crackup:

    So ive got a Smith Machine with lat bar and cables on each side, plus some dumbbells, Elliptical, spin bike, treadmill, heavy bag, and a few other little things. But it isn't the same. I cant get into my zone. Ive never been able to have a good workout at home. Hell, even if I had the exact same gym at home as I do at the real gym, I wouldn't be able to get the same workout.
