Wasn't the pledge for the Andromeda $275? I'm going off memory...not sure you should believe somebody with incipient dementia, ha ha

While the recent news about the vaccine from Pfizer was great, just a reminder that that it will be *months* before any vaccine will be available, as hundreds of millions of doses have to be manufactured and shipped across the country, and the world, before it can get provided to you. And by the...

I am convinced that about 80% of what you see and write about takes place only in your head, and has no logical basis in reality. (And I'm not fully confident about the remaining 20%, tbh). I would not be writing in this thread if I wasn't trying to convince people of the seriousness of...

unless there is a real compelling reason (new ship or new planet) I've started avoiding PTUs' ... i guess I am getting old!

Sweden update, for those interested: Past 30 days...the high was 4497 cases this past Wednesday

That is good news, and should help your country as you head into the colder months (though your summer is still coming up!). Taking early, decisive action and showing leadership definitely pays off. Taiwan is another example of where following established public health protocols has paid...

Well, the red shirt guys get to go too! They just don't return lol

You might want to use a more recent source than a news article that is now 41+ days old: https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-sweden-cases/sweden-sets-new-daily-covid-19-case-record-as-infections-surge-idUSL8N2HJ5RE In general, coronaviruses thrive in colder and drier weather...

ok, this answers my question...I found the "ammo" for this at Levski, and thought "wtf?" I guess I can hold off renewing my sub for another month!

Time to get a Prospector IRL https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/31/us/psyche-asteroid-ultraviolet-trnd-scn/index.html

That's interesting...from what we know about other coronaviruses (as well as the little we know about COVID-19, specifically) it will likely get worse in the winter. The mechanism of action seems to be a combination of a) the virus getting worse or spreading more effectively in cold, dry...

lol, please mail your answers to me on the back of an RTX 3090 or RX 6900 ... your choice!

Yay for competition! Still waiting for independent benchmarks, but these appear to be worth competitors with Nvidia's 3000 series... https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/10/amds-newest-graphics-cards-rdna2-power-from-579-999/

So this is what happened in Italy to make the COVID-19 outbreak so deadly last Feb/Mar/April ... hospitals getting filled to capacity, and not being able to provide ICU-level treatment to people who needed it, as new cases developed...it looks like we may be approaching that point, in some...

Interesting, because this was the top of the news yesterday in the USA: https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-pandemics-virus-outbreak-03de71eecbb9a605b1efc324cdeb3a5e I thought that would definitely be news to the other countries that are controlling the virus.

We (in the USA at least) seem to be heading towards new highs in the number of daily COVID-19 infections. The number of new infections reported yesterday, Oct 22 was 73,686; the previous high (74,086) was reported on July 24. It looks like we are entering the predicted "second wave" now with...

LOL, next anniversary we should have a contest, where we do dramatic readings of weirdo's comments on YT videos like this! I'm serious, people should record 15-30 sec clips and post them!
