I can't really complain about Charlotte, I've never had the misfortune to find myself there. I had a roommate some 20 years ago who was from there and he left an impression, I guess.

French hospital dives deeper into epidemiological data suggesting smokers are less likely to catch the 'rona, find enough meat to start putting their covid patients on nic patches and call for wide-scale trial https://www.qeios.com/read/article/571 quote:Nicotine may be suggested as a potential preventive agent against Covid-19 infection. Both the epidemiological/clinical evidence and the in silico findings may suggest that Covid-19 infection is a nAChR disease that could be prevented and may be controlled by nicotine. Nicotine would then sterically or allosterically compete with the SARS-CoV-2 binding to the nAChR. This legitimates the use of nicotine as a protective agent against SARS-CoV-2 infection and the subsequent deficits it causes in the CNS. Thus, in order to prevent the infection and the retro-propagation of the virus through the CNS, we plan a therapeutic assay against Covid-19 with nicotine (and other nicotinic agents) patches or other delivery methods (like sniffing/chewing) in hospitalized patients and in the general population

You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. Special Report: Former Labradoodle breeder tapped to lead U.S. pandemic task force quote:WASHINGTON (Reuters) - On January 21, the day the first U.S. case of coronavirus was reported, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeared on Fox News to report the latest on the disease as it ravaged China. Alex Azar, a 52-year-old lawyer and former drug industry executive, assured Americans the U.S. government was prepared. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...e-idUSKCN2243CE

My family is slowly realizing that my cousin, who was in and out of hospitals for bone marrow transplants and other medical procedures due to his stage 4 cancer, might have actually died of the covid in late January. We don't know and there's no real way to figure it out, but he was in the hospital with all of the major symptoms and the doctors couldn't figure out why they couldn't stop the progression of whatever he had.

I was fortunate that my terminal leave ended right before the lockdowns started and I was easily able to apply for unemployment on WAs website during off hours. Max unemployment benefits in WA are $790 a week. If I had moved back to FL where my family live the max is $245 per week and that's if you're even able to login into their intentionally broken system. WA benefits alone is more than enough to cover my living expenses, the extra $600 for covid19 is crazy. Hopefully the economy will be somewhat recovering and I'll be to find a job by the time my unemployment runs out. Still planning on going back to school with the GI bill, I figure it's definitely a good time to get it done while the economy is recovering.

I don't think I've ever seen numbers like these in the Trump era. Very recent field dates, so the numbers are legit. https://twitter.com/Morning_Joe/status/1253267654632181760?s=19 https://twitter.com/ChrisLu44/status/1253281133636313089?s=19 As of right now, the astroturf isn't sticking and even Republicans want Trump to not even come close to touching these things.

Doubling down on this statement. IT is hiring ESPECIALLY on the west coast right now. My inbox is flooded with jobs from the west coast. Right now everyone wants python devs, security guys, and linux guys. Get started with one of those, then if you get tired of pounding on keyboards, go the management route with ITIL, PMP/SCRUM, and claiming you are incharge of developers.

I have to wonder if they didn’t think to/know how to turn off the water to the toilet before they installed it, and panicked when things started leaking.

Does a bidet not need a drain? Because I'm pretty sure they need a drain, which means cutting a hole in the floor and tying into the sewer pipe. That would cause all sorts of fun problems. I mean a full out separate bidet, not the quick fix attach to your current toilet type. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Apr 23, 2020 |

If it's one of those toilet-seat mounted bidets, the drain is...the toilet. You blast your butthole with water from the tank feed line, the poo poo water collects in the bowl, you flush the poo poo water. Bing bong so simple. European style stand-alone bidet require installation similar to a standard toilet.

That would cause all sorts of fun problems. No. It installs under your toilet seat. You unscrew the seat, put it in place, and then screw the seat back down over the top. It has a feed hose that connects at the back of the toilet to the feed line. They're super easy to install. I personally have a luxe neo 120 and installed a 320 at my girlfriend's apartment. https://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-120-Non-Electric/dp/B00A0RHSJO e: you edited after I posted, but people aren't buying stand alone bidets and trying to put them in. They're spending $30 on stuff like I linked above.

Yeah, I'm pretty sneaky about my posts. I was thinking they installed a full out bidet. Because that would be a hilarious mess in an apartment. I might look into one of those seat ones. I'm down to a sixer of poo poo tickets.

That would cause all sorts of fun problems. Yeah if they were installing a freestanding bidet. If they did that in an apartment they are a moron, those are expensive anyways. The little toilet seat attached one I mentioned are like $30-60 and work great, just drains into the toilet. I had one in the house before this poo poo started, got one right when it started ramping up. Toilet paper usage is much lower.
