@tinkercreek I've only gone out twice in the last three weeks, gloves, mask and disinfecting for sure. Very little human contact. I have always had hand sanitizer and wet wipes in the car and a box of exam gloves. I just did my son's GF's taxes and will mail them to her tomorrow. Did mine too, I'm never done in April, it's normally Feb or October.

@Mets Yes it does, each state elects the members of the elctoral college based on the popular vote in that state. Because of a 1906 law that limits the house to 435 members smaller states have an outsized influence on the outcome, but the actual votes in every state count. Otherwise the republicans would not keep trying to reduce the voting population in swing states.

glennlab replies on Mar 30, 2020:

@AtheistInNC Since most people are not accountants, they look at purchase price versus what it will do not long term costs. Since a Tesla costs twice as much as a comparable gasoline vehicle it has to provide twice the benefit to be attractive. I agree that coal power production will be phased out, and the sooner the better. I have been hearing that electric cars would be the future for over 40 years, as soon as the technology was there. There are still not enough charging stations and in many areas there are none. Gasoline cars had similar obsticles to overcome and it took them decades to do it. It took an innovation that priced a car where the average person could afford it before infrastructure was put in place. If electric vehicles were that attractive now, most people would have them, they're not so people don't. Don't take this as me being against electric, I'm not. I'm not going to make a lifestyle change until the things I want to do are included in that change, and I would say that applies to most people. The numbers speak for themselves.Out of 270 million vehicles on the road, slightly more than 1 million are electric, I stand by my use of the word most. 99%is a little over half don't you think?

Couldn't find the reference I was looking for but this is the quote "Egg-laying (ovipositing) involves not only the female darting over floating or waterside vegetation to deposit eggs on a suitable substrate, but also the male hovering above her or continuing to clasp her and flying in tandem. The male attempts to prevent rivals from removing his sperm and inserting their own,[45] something made possible by delayed fertilisation[33][43] and driven by sexual selection.[42] If successful, a rival male uses his penis to compress or scrape out the sperm inserted previously; this activity takes up much of the time that a copulating pair remains in the heart posture.[44] Flying in tandem has the advantage that less effort is needed by the female for flight and more can be expended on egg-laying, and when the female submerges to deposit eggs, the male may help to pull her out of the water.[45]

@Robecology You totally ignored my argument, and proved my point. there is no current electric vehicle that will meet my needs. I will travel 1500 miles frequently.

Overnight is no where near 15 minutes and again your overnight is simply transfering the source of pollution down the road where it is emitted in a much more concentrated form. Accusing me of horse and buggy thinking is really uncalled for. You know nothing of my circumstances or my habits. FYI I have driven one, and they will not meet my needs. 400 miles in one direction will not even get me out of Texas.

glennlab replies on Mar 29, 2020:

Until they make an electric vehicle that can go 300 miles, then recharge in 15 minutes, then go another 300 miles before needing another 15 minute stop, it will not be accepted by most people. All of the current solutions that near this capabilities require sometype of gasoline or deisel back up. Also they don't recharge for free and most power in this country is produced by coal, then natural gas. The day is coming, but probably not in 10 years.

Nice view, had to look it up to see where it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assateague_Light if anyone else is interested.

glennlab replies on Mar 28, 2020:

@dede18 I am as guilty as anyone of assuming that others know what I am talking about. I fugure if I need to look it up, others might want to also. You are welcome.

How about those people actually getting paid what the company should pay essential employees.

Cutiebeauty comments on Mar 28, 2020:

How does it feel being a non essential employee?

glennlab replies on Mar 28, 2020:

That's the great thing about being retired, I spent way too many years as they guy they called at 3 am when everything went to shit. Now if I don't want to do something, I just tell them I'm retired.

I'm having to re-evaluate myself.

If we had one I might. Dallas is not a very mass transit friendly city.

It doesn't seem fair that people who are not working will get $600/week, while others will get their regular salaries.

That is only going to people that are drawing unempoyment insurance.

JackPedigo comments on Mar 27, 2020:

Are you talking about natural pollution or the human kind???

glennlab replies on Mar 27, 2020:

if you look at the map, it is predominately human made. Since there is very little natural pollution in the metro areas where the reduction has been greatest.

IrishTxJudy comments on Mar 26, 2020:

I’m doing ok so far. I still have a job for the present time so I’ll celebrate that. My heart goes out to those who are not in my position. This is a very hard time for many and I have never witnessed this in my lifetime. I hope I never do again

@jasen I know my bartender, the only mistake I've made in the last year was when i was making vanilla extract with everclear. I left the bottle on the counter when I brought the vodka out and didn't pay attention to which white liquor I was pouring. Always drink my mistakes, even if they make me cry a little.

Looks like Damascus, or layers of metal welded together by lots of heat and hammering. Arsenic is a poison.

glennlab replies on Mar 26, 2020:

@dalefvictor Not with normal contact, similar to lead crystal decanters, over a long period of time with leaching. You have to remember that for centuries people ingested arsenic on a regular basis to ward off poisoning with arsenic. It would take a massive amount to poison a person with a high tolerence. The roman's used lead to line their water pipes to keep them from leaking. Chrome is a metalic poison. Almost all heavy metals are poisonous given the proper quantities and ingress into the body.

So frustrated this morning.

Davekp comments on Mar 26, 2020:

You want him to invoke the War Powers Act.. it entails much more than just being able to order companies to produce necessary goods. Things like this Act give the President even more distance between himself and the necessity for Congress to control measures of authority. Careful what you wish for.

glennlab replies on Mar 26, 2020:

@Petter The presidential and congressional elections are constitutionally mandated to be held on a date certain in November, there is no provision to delay or cancel them. That may not stop him from trying.

Saw this on Facebook. How many do you remember? I got 10.

about 3000 years too old to be any type of steel, Arsenic may be poison, but it is a metal. We have been changing metals for thousands of years by adding other things to our metals to make them stronger, for intense carbon steel.

Sadly, our Constitution guarantees his right to say anything that pops into the waste wasteland he calls a "noggin." When we censor him, we can expect to be censored.

I'm not even remotely saying censor him, I'm saying stop carrying it live, fact check it just like we used to do in the news business, then report on it.

I suffer allergies too! Yesterday was really bad! We had rain here all last week and I went out for a walk. The wind was blowing up and my eyes, owww!!! My allergy medicine didn't work so I took NyQuil and knocked out! It helped! Weird! Lol

glennlab replies on Mar 25, 2020:

@MichelleGar1 I have really good drugs that work. the problem is they wear me out. The best one has the most awful taste you can imaging for about 15 minutes. I try to take just what i need, i wasn't prepared for how bad the trees and the mowing combined would be.
