I haven't used Zoom, but I'm sure I can figure it out. I've used Google Hangouts for meeting and interviews before, and now we use WebEx for everything. Whatever the boogle chooses, I'll join in.

Y'all might have to look at my cat sleeping if I join in. There is very little I dislike more than having photos taken or being on camera. I would think that there's some way to use a photo or an avatar or some other option for those of us who are camera shy. Worst case just put a piece of tape ove...

A question. While inventorying my toilet paper supply I found a full bottle of rubbing alcohol under my sink in the master bath. There was an expiration date on the bottle - November 2016. What expired? It still seems potent. That is a debate that I have with my spouse all the time. IDK the answer ...

In this case, she's renting a room from the woman in her house. The woman said she'd change the locks, and unfortunately I don't think the sheriff would be able to do anything about it. When Jones tried to push back, the landlord threatened to change the locks and hold her belongings hostage. “Items...

Gorski makes the case that the Chloroquine study that Trump hyped wasn’t poorly conducted but rather looks like fraud:
Sekrit Stuffs!

Didier Raoult looks like Harold Bornstein's son. That's eerie!

I thought it was the OSG's personal doctor.

I'd pitch in on a gofundme for that ad to run in all 50 states. That ad is going around the Twitterverse like mad. Gee, it's almost as if the OSG's efforts to keep the ad away from the people has resulted in drawing more attention to the ad than if they'd done nothing. Of course, being that the OSG...

The transit system in my city is still running, but the fares have been waived at this time. You have to get on the bus through the rear door and the seats at the front of the bus are closed off. There are hardly any passengers as everyone is taking this social distancing and staying at home seriou...

A cease & desist letter from ShitGibbon’s campaign The letter ( not [/u] from Charles Harder) whines that the ad is false and misleading. (False and misleading campaign ads??!? YOU DON'T SAY.) And vaguely warns that if the ad doesn't cease ( and desist), then the campaign will pursue legal remedies...

Thanks MrBrolin. That’s a thorough answer. :lovestruck: The short answer is “no”? Not so fast :-D Here's a FB post from a colleague of mine who is a professor at Rice University: .... some Rice folks in the OEDK have built a prototype device that automatically pumps one of those manual ventilator b...

Considering how many people were getting their "news" from Pravda Online, RT, and the like, I'm really wondering how much of QAnon, the SovCits, and the like have Russian backing or assistance.

PAT!!!!!

It's a day trader's happy time. Not so much for the longer term investor.

Oh, and the whole "shitting on each other" thing - the idea I responded to is advocating for shitting on a lot of people, including many who can't stand up for themselves. And not shitting on them with words online - shitting on them for real by causing them real and unnecessary medical harm throug...

Unless, of course, Vladimir Putin and his buddies bail Trump out. They will. Putin is believed to be worth (or at least have de facto control of funds) in the neighborhood of $500 billion. That's probably true. But the old adage, "Follow the money" hopefully means it's going to be a lot harder for ...

Thanks for your update, Somerset. May and your family get together sooner than it appears now.

Thanks, TRL It's a little scary when the music stops and you're stuck wherever you happen to be. At least we can do a video chat every day.

I did my online response last week. When it asked about where I was from, since my family is from everywhere including northern, eastern, western and southern Europe, and I was born in California (on a U.S. Navy base), I put down "American." That felt about right. I did mine last week, but I did li...

What is a "coronavirus party?"

Singapore Air has cancelled 95% of their flights, including the ones I was supposed to take to Singapore and Cebu. Both Singapore and the Philippines are now quarantining all arrivals for 14 days (and for Singapore, the requirement is that you have to stay in a hotel, even if you have a home. Have y...
