At the moment, there is no sign that we are seeing the start of a larger outbreak

I’d fucking hope so…

If we see signs of a larger outbteak, it’s already too late. This has 40% mortality rate under the best conditions when dealing with isolated cases, and an R factor over two (1 is where its infectious enough to cause wifescale problems)

This is like Y2k all over again. We need to take it seriously and if we do a bunch of idiots will think that means we didn’t need to.

But if we let the idiots win and don’t take it seriously, then we’re all fucked

I’ll never understand why the idiots get so fucking triggered that someone else is worried about something and trying to protect them.

If people don’t think this is a big deal and there’s no reason for anyone to worry, then they can just ignore the entire thing on a personal level.

Instead they feel insulted if anyone disagrees with them, because that’s what idiots do.

They don’t care about if they’re right, they just get mad if anyone disagrees with them about anything.

I mean, “days” is vague

48 hours without sleep and it’s obvious, you can’t hide it

By 72 hrs microsleeps start happening, your brain will have a 2-3 minute dream in under five seconds of zoning out, this is where methheads are when they randomly accuse people of saying/doing something.

They had a micro sleep and in their dream you did something.

Close to 100 hrs I had visual hallucinations that were obvious hallucinations, and I tapped out around 105ish.

It’s insanely dangerous and you really shouldn’t try it. Even if it sounds “cool” it’s not an enjoyable experience, but it is an experience. Definitely under no circumstances use stimulates to stay awake that long. If you try to do it naturally and can’t, just accept that you couldn’t and move on.

And if you do try it, don’t have anything planned for during or a day or two after. Don’t expect yourself to handle anything competently after the first night missed sleep, although during that time you will likely think you’re killing it, that’s just because you’re not thinking straight. You’re really fucking up almost everything you do and just not noticing.

We’re only a year deep too:

It’s going to show gains exponentially, but like you said it’s not flashy, and media has an incentive to downplay it.

They’ll keep saying Dems are “over performing” but this is just the natural result of trying to win as many seats as possible.

We spent decades where neoliberal chairs wanted a Dem president, but enough Republicans in congress that meaningful progress wouldn’t be made.

It’s not “over performing”, just what happens when the party actually tries to get Dems elected instead of enforcing their policy on everyone with a D by their name.

None of this is surprising, it’s all right on track to FDR 2.0

We just can’t skip the shitty parts, or people won’t realize we need FDR 2.0 enough to vote for them when we get the chance.

Might still be a positive.

The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday struck down a voter-approved Democratic congressional redistricting plan, delivering another major setback to the party in a nationwide battle against Republicans for an edge in this year’s midterm elections.

This was voter approved, the new plans would have consolidated Dem voters, now they’re spread out and pissed off, which could lead to more seats than the new map.

Especially since the DNC has been funding state parties so they can operate at campaign levels for over a year now

Republicans still use a top-down approach and are saving funds for presidential.

We’re going to see massive gains in state governments all over from that, setting us up for future elections. Especially if progressives can snag some govenors.

They don’t have regular elections, they can happen as often as every year.

Bibi has cancelled due to “war” since 2022, and while there is an election scheduled this year, that has been true for every year since 2022 as well.

Edit:

And the reason they happened twice in 19, then three years in a row is because a lot of Israel blames Bibi for all of this…

Very very slim wins for his parties and his alliance keeps fracturing. If he wasn’t canceling elections,the wouldn’t be in charge.

And as soon as he’s not in charge, his corruption trial starts and he’s clearly guilty. Like there’s a shit ton of evidence, he will be found guilty.

It’s a lot more fucked up than people think, there’s a lot of propaganda from all sides that want to make it seem like Bibi has the support of every Israeli, when it’s more like America and trump.

Faux news:

Iran just shit trump’s pants!

What about when your country says it not a war?

He’s literally done that multiple times already…

So yeah, pretty safe bet

Toddler logic:

Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.

People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.

He doesn’t want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.

Don’t forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it’s his bread and butter and he’s running this show.

The war won’t end while trump is in office.

It’s unclear from the document whether passage will incur a fee. Tehran has touted the strait as a potential revenue stream that could help rebuild the country after destruction caused by American and Israeli strikes. It is reportedly charging up to $2 million per vessel for passage.

Last week, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added guidance to its Frequently Asked Questions page clarifying that such payments would not be authorized for US persons or entities.

“Payments to the government of Iran or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), directly or indirectly, for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would not be authorized for US persons, including US financial institutions, or for US-owned or -controlled foreign entities,” it said.

The “free” market…

Evolution always finds a way…

1. Be the same skin tone as them, and have the same features, you’ll likely have to go full Tropic Thunder.

2. Learn their language and cultural norms over decades of observation

3. Somehow convince a community of under 200 people that you’ve been there the whole time and they just never noticed you.

It sounds crazy, but there was a bit on an early Zac Creger show called “Wrecked” where they’d add characters after the first season and the explanation was they’d been on the island the whole time and no one paid attention to them.

Hilarious show

If you run into an assain once, it’s probably has nothing to do with you…

But if an administration constantly running across assassins, maybe they’re doing something to attract them?

You’re thinking of him getting rich people care…

Whatever money he has left won’t last much longer.

I’m not Buddhist, but I know a good amount about religion.

So genuinely asking:

Isn’t even decades more of the worst suffering absolutely nothing on a cosmic scale and could only give his soul time to improve?

Like, that would literally be the purpose of his cycle, to realize behavior so far doesn’t equal a reward. A death may be merciful for this incarnation, but long term what’s merciful is to give him as much time as possible to try and reach enlightenment, I don’t think you can just “write off” a cycle. It’s not the same as being ok with you’re own death because you’re enlightened

At a certain point existence because torture…

Like 81 is old, but it’s really fucking old for an alcoholic. His brain is mush and his life is filled with confusion, fear, and resulting anger lashing out at anyone who is forced to be around him.

Any brief moments of lucidity is even worse because while you can’t remember everything, you know the lucidity is a fleeting grasp and any one could be your last. It instills an existential type of horror I can’t even begin to think I understand.

So yeah, I hope he recovers and keeps living. I like the idea of 91 year old Rudy on some sort of house arrest or elderly prisoner facility.

It’s really not that uncommon, it just took genetic testing to catch on to be found out.

A prenatal test would be 50/50 and post birth it would likely only be done on one twin as well.

But with genetic testing for ancestry tests, it’s obvious when people start taking tests.

If I’m remembering correctly, “fraternal” sets of eggs tend to attach to uterine walls a few days apart, so it’s possible for all type of weird shit to happen. But even if it’s just one dude, it’s always possible they only impregnate one of two eggs.

Nah, fuck those old bigots.

Nobody gets a pass on that shit. And people likely to say that shit are likely to say it about other groups they don’t belong to as well.

What if OP is Betty?

Meh…

They had an electrical fire and cut power and propulsion as a reaction to that…

That is not the same as an incident taking out power and propulsion, that’s just how you deal with electrical fires when there’s no other emergency

From what I understand the problem is that the leveling compacted the soil so much that water can’t drain through it anymore. And the yard is now basically flat with no slope to move the water anywhere.

Yep…

So there’s one big choice to make before anything else:

Do you want to mitigate the damage, or try to rip the lawn up?

You always want a gentle slope away from your house. But flat doesn’t have to flood, you can aerate the ground, which will help it get down past what’s compacted. You may need more than just an aerator. You may need to put very small but deep holes.

As the new grass grows it will develop roots, which go deep and not only soak up water, but they allow paths for water to go down as well. And obviously break up compacted ground.

Even if you do absolutely nothing, it will keep getting better on its own.

But if you really care and don’t want to wait, now would be the time to get it redone correctly, and you can even do “tiling” if you think standing water will still be an issue.

“Tiling” isn’t what it sounds like,bits basically installing a big tube (3-6 inches wide) with a bunch of holes on it under ground. The water goes into the tube as a resovoir during the rain and then leeches into the ground over time as the ground dries out after the rain.

I’m familiar with it around farm fields, but it would work in a yard too. It’s the same thing as drainage from a septic tank if that helps. Just didn’t want you to think I meant burying flooring tiles under your yard.
