Exactly, an important distinction because savings accounts right now are a joke.

That study says that 91% of Americans could cover an unexpected expense, it's just that answers like "I'd throw it on a credit card for the rewards points and pay it off in full" and "yeah I'd just shift money around in my budget" are interpreted as "I can't afford it"

That's not quite what it says.

quote:

About four out of 10 Americans said they had enough in savings to cover a surprise $500 expense. Another 21 percent said they would rely on a credit card, while 20 percent said they’d cut back on other expenses. Another 11 percent said they’d turn to family or friends for the money. 

There's nothing about being able to pay the credit card immediately; in fact it says the opposite, that they don't have enough in savings to pay it off right away. Meaning "I can't afford this, but I can incur some debt"

"cut back on expenses" doesn't imply that the person has a budget, more like "I can't afford this but I can always stop making principle payments for awhile"

10 of your 90 were "I can't afford this in any sense, a friend or loved one would need to give me money"

No one really knows

There's probably no way that the US goes as far as China "we are at war with the virus" has but the CDC has said they're preparing for things like school and business closures, and probably nonessential travel will get shuttered.

Probably more like mass ash pits, because bodies are going to get torched from this poo poo. Dig a hole, add bodies and gasoline, burn, add more bodies and gasoline, burn, etc, until the pit is full and another one is dug.

If it happens like Wuhan, only early patients from the first 2-4 weeks could get a ICU bed, from 1 month on to region emergency was declared, it was almost impossible to get admitted in the hospital. So you strategy is, 1) don't loving get infected, stay long enough until emergency is declared; wear your mask and take your vacation if you have to 2) if you are infected, grab a car and drive to a city with better medical facility; 3) your long term goal is avoid infection as late as possible because in general the later mutations of the virus are weaker.

yeah. some part of the overall hubei cremation order is because most significant military nations have spy satellites that can read newspapers over people's shoulders and have for decades, so the CIA would be able to literally count bodies if they wanted to. a little bit of anti-spreading of the disease, but a little bit of that. so liberal democracies will get to have burn pits and mass graves and stuff

That would be cool, but to do that at LEO distances you'd need a primary mirror that's bigger than what the hubble space telescope carries; there is no such satellite in LEO

a "porg" is a thing that was added to star wars purely to sell merchandise of.

a "shoulder porg" is a doll that sits on your shoulder for half an hour after you buy it, and is then thrown in a closet never to be seen again.

Those porgs are magnetic, so you can just have it hang onto anything metal. Mine is just hanging sideways onto the post of a shelf

No amount of telescope can get that kind of resolution thru China's polluted air. That's the reason space laser weapon can't do poo poo against China and India either.

we have a photo from the dipshit in chief confirming resolution at most 10cm, probably at least 10x better as its a photo of a printout

nasa is our second best space telescopy corps. KH11 mirror is indeed a bit bigger than hubble and KH13 is prolly fair bit bigger

I just got back from Legoland. This is the kids winter break so lots of kids & olds flying around the country- lots of boomer grandparents chaperoning the little ones, since they can afford outrageously priced poo poo like this. Presumably Disney and Universal are like this x10. Mid march will be an exciting time for virus watchers.
