    The one headline said that she was "screaming." I didn't see or hear her scream on the video I posted. Could you point out where she was screaming?

    btw, I was able to answer my own question: https://khn.org/news/health-insurers-prosper-as-covid-19-deflates-demand-for-elective-treatments/ Interestingly, when driving plummeted, the auto insurance companies made a big deal of reducing premiums/returning money back to policy holders. So, far...

    Interesting, here is a different headline https://theintercept.com/2020/05/12/two-female-reporters-refused-let-trump-bully-silence-ran-away/

    That is actually quite an accomplishment! This is the textbook way to stamp out something like this, isolate until you can get the numbers down and then implement contact tracing, to identify any potential carriers and really stamp out all remnants of the disease. Both Australia and New Zealand...

    It really isn't a system, though, unless you would consider Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, etc. to be a "retail/shopping system." Hospitals are just a business, with a business model...what we have now is just something we've backed into through either direct action or inaction based on...

    Well, it's Capitalism, baby! So, if the purpose is making money... On a more serious note, there are plenty of studies out there showing the US spends more per capita on health care, without any better outcomes than other countries spending less.

    Anyone have any book series suggestions?

    If you like a good satire & have a sick, cynical sense of humor, I have picked up "QualityLand" by Marc-Uwe Kling, and I'm having a blast...I seem to literally laugh out loud at least once a page...

    It's a "bug/feature" of a for-profit health care system....caring for seriously ill people is a money-losing endeavor, while providing elective surgeries are where the profits are... It would be interesting to see how the stock prices of the health care insurance companies are doing...

    16 ram vs 32?

    Really? I've never gotten that message. I pretty much always close my browser before playing, and I've turned off all the M$ crap apps that run in the background, so my RAM usage is minimal right before I start SC (normally about 2.5 ~ 3GB RAM being used).

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Well, this is one of the concerns I've been having...treating COVID19 patients takes a toll on the healthcare workers, and the lack of PPE early in the crises (and maybe on-going) has also had an impact: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/nyregion/paramedics-cpr-coronavirus.html As usual, if you...

    16 ram vs 32?

    What we really need is somebody to put in 128GB of RAM, so they can put the game on a RAM Disk, and report back to us...any takers?

    This is a classic example of trying to ram a policy down everybody's throats, without actually really looking at the data to guide a decision. Apparently, you are making a mistake if you look at the data...

    looking for a Cutlass Blue CCU

    I think they should be easy to come by when the Cutty Blue is released? They should make CCU's available then.

    16 ram vs 32?

    The only other thing(s) I can think of before getting more RAM would be to quit out all browsers and other memory hogging apps before running SC....I normally quit my browser, have 3GB of RAM being used before I launch SC, and after playing SC never go above 11GB RAM usage (out of my 16GB). The...

    16 ram vs 32?

    If SC is swapping, a) did you set your paging file to your NVMe (so it is using your fastest device), and b) are you using the Win10 defaults for paging, or did you set different values? I would highly recommend going with the Win10 defaults. In the old days, the OS defaults were sub-optimal and...

    Hold on there...it is a public safety issue, with regards to a communicable disease. They may willing *consent* without understanding all the implications, that is, they may then go out and infect other people who would otherwise not get infected. There is precedent for what is going on...
