    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    There is a possible geographic and social (not geo-political) explanation of what's going on here. The UK is in a similar situation to the high population area in the Canadian Province of British Columbia, the area bounded roughly by Victoria, Nanaimo and the Greater Vancouver area. Seasonal...

    STATE OF THE SQUADRON 47! WE HIT 20,000 MEMBERS!

    I would add him to the Beer-On-Sight list and treat him as an honorary TESTie. I mean someone will accidentally shoot him anyway, it's not like we've never done that to each other.

    Cargo and ship protections against 30k

    It's kind of better in 3.15, but we'll have to wait for that. And it's only kind of better. By the way, Welcome to TEST.

    I haven't been back there since 2008, the map looks like the area is more built up, but some buildings like where I worked is totally gone now. There is a mall nearby, where Hwy 22 crosses 202. I lived about 3/4 of a mile due south from there. The mall itself looks about double the size it was.

    I made a TEST logo out of metal

    I only ever used stainless steel, and copper, both worked well. There is also the ones I know of: some aluminum alloys, cobalt chloride, titanium and a specific brand of nickel chromium called Inconel though others may also work. Edit: Looks like copper might have been an alloy too. I think...

    I followed the links till I got an image of the NY City notice to employees. Don't get vaccinated, no work, no pay until you do. Gett vaccinated, you get a $500 bonus. Hm. I've been to NYC, I used to live in Bridgewater NJ (about 12 miles from NYC as the crow flies, 20 by car) That would...

    Just want to point out that surveillance is not the same as "we found infected birds". SARS-COVID-2 is a Beta corona virus, and so far we have only seen Gama and Delta corona virus's in birds of any type. The Arctic Terns are more closely watched because they migrate from more temperate...

    I made a TEST logo out of metal

    It sure as hell is! And a LOT cheaper, especially if you can build one yourself. Check out "DIY CNC Router" on your favorite search engine. I built one that I ended up giving to one of my son in law's for all the work he did around our house last winter. He's a mechanic so, handy with tools...

    Thank you! Humans are Great Apes so smaller groups, maybe extended family size, a few dozen in a village or cave. That's how we evolved. We didn't get pandemics until civilization hit us... who knows that might be a pandemic too. Some virus infected us, and made us live in or around densely...
