    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Interesting epidemiolgical "experiment" --> a teacher (one of only 2 unvaccinated teachers in the elementary school) in Marin County, PRC (People's Republic of California) felt sick for two days...still went to work, teaching the *unable to be vaccinated* young children...despite school policy...

    Foundation (New Apple + Sci Fi series)

    I've never understood the Apple hate...I get that fanboi's are annoying, but if somebody is trying to make a decent or better product, why do you want them to fail? Plus, all the ground level people who are just trying to earn a living? It's like...it's like people hating Star Citizen, lol

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Well, this is a new wrinkle...Orlando is asking people to conserve water, in part due to the demand for making oxygen for treating COVID patients...I hadn't expected this. First they wanted me to wear a mask, and now they don't want me to water my lawn? We might as well be living under the...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Tragic, and even worse, totally foreseeable & it even was predicted. As the hospitals fill up, and as ICU's get clogged, people who need treatment (not just for COVID, but for anything) have to wait for a bed...and delaying treatment will have adverse consequences, such as death or prolonged...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Found this when watching a SC stream on twitch...so how the heck do you get somebody like this vaccinated, when they have (very real) issue of a virus wrapped up / conflated with so many other bat-shit crazy ideas? As somebody recently joked, "It started as a virus, and then mutated into an IQ...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Looking ahead...wait, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has already started? My how time flies. In any event, this seemed to be a trigger of a lot of cases in the Mid-West last year. Given how several key states in the Mid-West have higher case loads now than they did this time last year...things...

    Constellations have S3 shields!?

    Who needs reasons? CR woke up on the seventh day (year, actually) and decided to give the Constellation a S3 shield, and all was good... Seriously, the mid-size ships with S2 ships have such a wide range...I can't get the Starship42.com Fleetview to work for me right now (for some reason), but...

    Nyx system

    Looks great! Unfortunately, by the time we get it in game, we'll have atmoshperic effects, cloud effects, weather effects (as well as STRUTS!) obstructing the wonderful view. That, or you'll have to whip out your Mobi-glass for something, and completely hide the cool art!

    A long the line of "there are no atheists in foxholes" and "there are no anti-firefighters when your house is burning down"... https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/04/politics/asa-hutchinson-arkansas-mask-mandate/index.html

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    That's a false dichotomy. #1, as @Montoya pointed out, we are much better at treating COVID than we were last year, and so deaths are not a good measure of the impact of the virus. (And, you can't believe what is on the death certificate anyway...I've said that all along, here is a recent...

    Thinking about GPU options...

    The whole GPU market is mess, for several reasons...first it was because Nvidia was basically a monopoly that controlled the market, then cryptomining became huge, and then the pandemic. Based on a price/performance ratio, the vanilla 3080 is hands-down the best card, if you can get one...
