Thanks!Rive said:Just hover over the mouse pointer.
It's where the Education Advisor badge ought to be. But the picture is missing for some reason - sitewide, I think, not just you.pinball1970 said:
I would recommend upgrading from cloth (if that's what you're using) to something more protective if you're worried about Covid at this stage.WWGD said:I realized how cautious I am, or at least I am being. First, I usually carry two masks , in case something happens to one of them. Rare, but can happen. Today, I soiled one while eating. So I bought another one. Very unlikely something will happen to it , but the prospect of not being able to buy another one , nor do anything without a mask was enough to compel me.
Thanks, my concern was mostly about nit being able to do anything , enter any store/building because of not having a mask.Jarvis323 said:I would recommend upgrading from cloth (if that's what you're using) to something more protective if you're worried about Covid at this stage.
By now you can easily find multipacks of real high quality masks, like kn95's, online (e.g. on Amazon). And surgical masks are easy to come by in large packs as well in many places.

No, I put it close to my plate and some meat sauce fell on it. Unfortunately it was a blue mask, so no way to hide it.etotheipi said:You were eating... with the mask on?
tragic. sorry for your lossWWGD said:No, I put it close to my plate and some meat sauce fell on it. Unfortunately it was a blue mask, so no way to hide it.
I suppose you have told her that "being here" is transitive.WWGD said:Same again with this lady looking at a map on the streets. " You are Here". She asks " How do they know?".
It was very good sauce.etotheipi said:tragic. sorry for your loss
I kept the mask and will throw it into the rice tomorrow...Keith_McClary said:It was very good sauce.
This is the " Dialog of the Ages" between conservatives and liberals. The two ideally keep each other in check so that change happens, but it is not too hasty. A dialectic, if you will.bagasme said:"What do you prefer: go make a change or status quo?" - Eddy
"I wish I could have kept status quo before that mistake," - me
I think it comes down to a sort of fixed point theorem/result. Maybe a contraction map theorem.fresh_42 said:I suppose you have told her that "being here" is transitive.
Those parties are so successful with keeping each other in check that conservativism is no longer what it's used to be and liberals are just stuck in the past.WWGD said:This is the " Dialog of the Ages" between conservatives and liberals.

The usual difference between dictionary definitions and reality.Rive said:Those parties are so successful with keeping each other in check that conservativism is no longer what it's used to be and liberals are just stuck in the past.
This leads to strange situations: You can be too conservative to be conservative, and too liberal to be liberal.WWGD said:The usual difference between dictionary definitions and reality.
Not sure I have noticed it. Maybe a German thing?fresh_42 said:This leads to strange situations: You can be too conservative to be conservative, and too liberal to be liberal.
Edit: Or even both!
May I swap your dog with my rabbit?WWGD said:What do you do when you overhear someone say they will feed their dogs a vegan diet, because " It's healthier and better for the environment"?
Sorry, I am not hip to your slang.fresh_42 said:May I swap your dog with my rabbit?
Talking about Eurosceptics, is Brexit finally through? It seems to have taken endlessly to be implemented.bagasme said:"If nothing in the world is for the faints of heart, should they exist, or must their heart be stronger?" - Eurosceptics
A while? The understatement of the day!WWGD said:Great new feature in printers. Can now specify pages , as in e.g., 1, 5, 7-10, 13. Instead of having to stop and start. Maybe just new to me, haven't done any printing in a while.
Yes. All economic obstacles are in place and work. Stupidity has again achieved a huge victory!WWGD said:Talking about Eurosceptics, is Brexit finally through? It seems to have taken endlessly to be implemented.
It seems some exiters are now saying they did not understand the implications of the vote. But maybe I should stop the political posts. Edit: And few consider the implications the EU had towards cutting down on intra-Euro wars ( which would end up involving outsiders).fresh_42 said:A while? The understatement of the day!
Yes. All economic obstacles are in place and work. Stupidity has again achieved a huge victory!
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
I suspect there was some issue bitgering Brits, on how it was mainly the SE that was benefitting economicallyfresh_42 said:The naked numbers speak for themselves. One doesn't have to have an opinion or even debate. EU exports to the UK dropped by 20% and UK Exports to the EU by 40% (in the news this morning). And the impact on the huge British financial industry sector hasn't even started to show all its consequences.
It is less a political debate than it is one about mankind in general. Our history has a famous example of collective stupidity. Goebbels held a speech in 1943 in which he culminated with: "Do you want the total war?" and the masses shouted - who wonders - "Yes!" One has to know this if one wants to understand why general polls are not allowed to automatically become law here.
Or as Tommy Lee Jones had put it:
You probably wouldn't like Irish (style) bacon then. Irish bacon is essentially a thickish slab of soggy, almost gelatinous meat. I'm guessing most American's wouldn't even recognize it as "bacon." [Edit: Also, it's traditionally boiled, rather than fried, if you can imagine that.]WWGD said:Should be a crime to have soggy/noncrispy bacon. It seems to go well with everything. I see vegans hating on me when I eat bacon , because they know what they're missing. But not soggy bacon. Its disgusting. Sounds like rich food, apt for winter.
