There are rules against cruel and unusual punishments, Duna.

I say we go back to arguing over whether Dems are progressive enough, or too progressive.

I dreamed I was underneath the floor of a wooden sailing ship, and I was tasked with painting some sort of sticky, clear water-proofing solution from a blue bucket on the bottom and sides of this area, with a weird metal brush thing that was not suited for the task. I was briefly aided by Lance Kinsey, who may or may not have been Lt. Proctor from the Police Academy movies.
I remember having this dream last night or the night before, but refusing to do the task and feeling guilty about having done that in this particular dream.

General Discussion / Re: Untamed Virus Containment Thread: COVID-19:What Wave is it Now? Edition
« on: November 06, 2020, 11:20:39 am »I had a couple of stabs at "I wish you well Hector", almost immeciately you announced. I held back because wishes aint horses, and couldn't compete well against a placebo (or maybe exactly as well) but I regret not saying it anyway.
It also needs to be said that (for all they're worth) my best wishes also go to those who can't or won't indicate their plight, who are known forumites that drop off the radar. I dropped out last year (purely technical issues, then tardiness reconnecting until Lockdown concentrated my mind on getting back on this and a couple of other non-physical communities) and it's easy to do. I'm not sure I'd even post an "I'm going on a ventilator, wish me luck!" thing, if it came to that (and there was even an opportunity to do so), so inevitably there's at least one 'known name' in this forum of this size who is in a somewhat similar position, and no other way of learning this. Or was or will be.
This applies to all other kinds of life's curveballs, of course. And as diluting a placebo still further really doesn't do much either way my thoughts also go to absolutely everyone else who I ought to be thinking of, but that I knew it.
Eh, well wishes don’t help, but nor do they hinder, and I guess they strengthen bonds or something.
You raise a fair point though. I was considering not saying a thing about it, but maybe my experience could be interesting or enlightening for someone. Hopefully any other taciturn sufferers are recovering well.

I certainly wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I am so happy it responded to otc meds, because it’s quite distressing waking up in the morning and feeling as though someone has dumped metal filings in all your joints.
The 11 hours of sleep for a few days was quite pleasant though.

It seems unlikely that it’ll get worse for me. Respiratory issues haven’t been too bad, and I suspect the forced air heating in my house is more at fault for those than covid, and I haven’t quite needed to chug the DayQuil the last day or so, which is nice.

I don’t know if 6 and a half years of residence necessarily qualifies me as a ‘sconny, but I’ve picked up a few things, doncha know.
I appreciate the well wishes, though. Enso.

He does, but it would feel much safer to have one of PA or GA too, at least in terms of legal challenges.

According to the Beeb, Biden is within 3.5k votes in Georgia with probably less than 1% to count, and is within 61k in PA, with 6% left to count. PA has narrowed from a significant Trump lead (I think it was 800k+ at one point) to this, so it’s feasible Biden can make that up in the votes left to count.
If either of those two states go for Biden, it’s game over, assuming everything else stays as it is (NV and AZ for Biden, though he could lose his lead in both and still win with PA, or either of them as long as he maintains the other if he wins Georgia).

I lost my sense of taste today, and now I get coughing fits too.
Unhappy, this is day... 6 or 7, maybe 9, of my direct covid experience, it has mostly been WHY DID SOMEONE TAKE ME APART AND PUT ME BACK TOGETHER SLIGHTLY WRONG since the start.
This needs to end :’(

« on: November 05, 2020, 08:15:03 pm »Then when everyone is freed, burn them down
that sounds a little rude.
I think he meant prisons.
Which, you know, since they’re privately run now and are an industry in and are an industry in and of themselves, means they’re here to stay because losing people their jobs for the greater good isn’t feasible.

It is innately bad because you are less able to control the car. Plenty of empirical evidence to back that up.
There are doubtlessly people who can drive a car perfectly well while out of their face, but I imagine they’re few and far between.
Equating that to taking any kind of drug is a bit ridiculous.
