Europe is headed back into the COVID tumbler despite a dearth of Texans, Floridians and MAGA hats. Lockdown fatigue, over-optimism and mask skepticism seem to have international appeal.

Is it wrong of me to hope there are incriminating photos of Doctor Jill Biden on the abandoned laptop?
Phaedra!
He did his brother's widow--why not step-mom?

Yep, and I had a very long resume to prove it:)

Yipes! Congress can increase the size of the Senate by granting statehood to DC and Puerto Rico and THEN pack the SCOTUS!!https://www.wsj.com/articles/packing-the-u-s-senate-11602888806?mod=MorningEditorialReport&mod=djemMER_h

--For Gus when he returns, holding the door for people 50 steps away is the extreme version of what I call the passive aggressive door holding game. 😉
More than 10 steps and you force people to move faster.--
Ding, ding, ding!
I commented on this a couple of weeks ago. The occasional gentulmun like GUS is one thing but somehow our culture decided that everybody had to start doing it to anyone in their event horizon, including little old ladies with a cane holding the door for some beefy middle aged dude just getting out of his pickup two stores down.
LUNACY!

As the old economic equation goes; if you want more of something subsidize it.
If the government was really serious about protecting us from Covid; they'd pass the Kungflu Hospitalization Tax Act and it would disappear overnight.

The New Talkin’ Points Is Out! The New Talkin’ Points Is Out!
@ChrisMurphyCT
Joe Biden - and all of us - SHOULD be furious that media outlets are spreading what is very likely Russian propaganda.
1/ I’ve seen the intel. The mainstreaming of misinformation is Russia’s 2020 goal. Here’s what we know, and why we can’t take it lying down.

LOL
Ever since the Clintons, the Dems always remember to place their plausible deniability legal disclaimer weasel words in whatever they say because you can usually count on somebody having the goods on you somewhere, so you have to be able to point to your weasel words later.

But please tell me that’s not an actual Snopes fact check.

Excellent article at Pipeline, clarice.
We're certainly not as oppressed as the Russians were under the Soviets, but we are starting to get an inkling of just how infuriating it is to live in a culture built upon demonstrable lies that we're expected to swallow [and don't forget to put your mask back on between bites] and live by and keep our mouths shut about.

Media / Dems: It’s Russian disinformation!!!!
Public: you keep saying that and are wrong every time.
Media/Dems: look at this squirrel!!!

Thanks, Iggy. I thought Daniel Greenfield's article on this was very good. I just saw it too late to include it in mine.

excellent watch. dave gets to the point. kinda worried that he is going into a hostage video format though. nerdrotic is trying to get him on a live stream in the coming weeks. he was one of the first i saw a soft shadowban at youtube (the volume control was turned off (blocked in the backend coding) and the volume set to 1. nerdrotic had a good point to that when people are confined (he's done time) they need a routine and a lot of what is going on is people's routines disrupted and they are going stir crazy (or cabin fever).
this hasn't been so much a pandemic as a the biggest psychological experiment ever conducted.

OK, so much for Russia. Facts have been checked. WTF was Wray doing hiding all this?
One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.

I warned about this claim sometime back when "cases" started turning back up in early September. Unfortunately for them, over a month later, deaths continue to decline.

Dammit, henry! He was just doing his job, that's all he was doing! Every damned day he was out there, putting it all on the line...for me...and for you!
After all, a public servant's job is to serve the public...a big hot steaming pile.
You can't say he hasn't done that...like a champ.

Buckeye, noted your connection to DEC. I worked in VAX/VMS group at ZK0 from '87-29. DEC was my only sojourn from real time embedded development. I call it my Raised Floor Computer era. Sad to see DEC go. I still have numerous company paraphernalia to bring back the memories.

I received a grant to study DEC adding Rockwell CNC controllers to the VAX backplane, paid for my 90-91 school year at CREWE. (My background was software for Big Blue mainframe and mid frame products). Good people to interview at DEC HQ.

Tech talk way over my head!
Jimmy and Henry thanks for the bottling advice.
Henry, isn't sending the fake indian another punishment? Who wants to listen to that shrew? The fact that so many people just turn on the fake news and leave it on all day while not critically thinking about what they hear is why we have so many dimwitted politicians. I know - I am stating the obvious. I am living in the midst of all the true believers. On the plus side I am hearing horns on occasion - I am hoping they are for our Trump sign!
I am very optimistic that Trump will win by more than enough votes than the left can gin up. Yet at the same time I am not. Anyone else feel bi-polar just about now? It's 11:42am. Okay to open up the bourbon?
Oh - and the Russians are simply amazing! The commies could not keep their paradise from collapsing in the 1990s, and now they are tech wizards who love Trump.
Just venting - "as per usual."
