Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human race

Meltdown May is cancelled, as Meltdown March never ended. But there is still powerful posting to be seen in the wild.

In better news, OSHA & Dangerous Chemistry thread favorite Derek Lowe has shifted his focus to covering the Covid-19 pandemic. He's a PhD in Organic Chemistry who's spent the past few decades doing pharmaceutical research and development, and blogging about chemicals he never wants to work with. All his articles can be found here, and are an excellent source of info for the pharm side of the pandemic.

Covid-19 is all he's been posting about for the past month or 2, and they're all good. If you're looking for a laugh, scroll down and check out the "Things I Won't Work With" tag for good chemistry stories.

A play in 4 acts. Maine has extended the shut down of restaurant dining rooms until June 1st, but takeout and delivery are still an option.

shame on an IGA posted:

A dude telling people "Hey don't be an rear end in a top hat" and actually being listened to getting merc'd by wealthy elites is an extremely plausible story TBF

Something like that already happened, unfortunately.

Michigan security guard shot and killed after asking Family Dollar shopper to wear a mask
https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/michigan-security-guard-shot-and-killed-after-asking-family-dollar-shopper-to-wear-a-mask

I'm legit worried that there's going to be a lot more stories like this coming up. Had a cop once threaten to punch me in a McDonald's if I yelled at him for being an rear end in a top hat and endangering people. We weren't in a McDonald's at the time. He thought it was a good hypothetical while he was berating me for getting jumped in a bar (that I just retired from) for yelling at people being assholes. The bartender asked for my help in dealing with them, and the guys who jumped me got dogpiled.

But, in happier memories.

Someone is kind enough to track some twitter meltdowns for this year's meltdown may. I'm expecting it to be one for the ages.

When he was pressed by Poleo to explain why launching an amphibious operation across open waters instead of attempting to infiltrate via the border with Colombia, Goudreau replied:

Are you familiar with Alexander the Great? The Battle of Gaugamela. Completely outnumbered. He struck to the heart of the enemy, and he won.

You can fit all kinds of things in a road case. Lot of them are custom built and can be designed with false tops and bottoms for legit reasons. Also, a hearty lol.

RIP all those Missouri counties that've been single or double digit.

I. Uh. Look. I dont know if NBC has really held to journalistic integrity, and maybe there's a point to be had about what it means to place press organizations on a pedestal when everyone has a camera in your pocket. I get it. But now isn't the time for your loving anti media performance piece. The Louisville Police do not need enemies.

That said, I'm a little more scared when this happens in NYC.

Local stations tend to have very little to do with the national news brands. Owners tend to have a much bigger impact. Remember the Sinclair broadcast?

Either way, cop definitely shot paintballs at an on-air news crew. lol.
Hopefully the crew and owners learn from that experience.

Spacex soon. Wishing them well. Refusing to watch cuz I dont want to see if it goes badly because its 2020. Stay safe space mans.

Clean launch, and the 1st stage came back. Although the livestream cut out right as it was landing, so :tinfoil:

Always feels good to see a successful space launch.
