how to divorce-proof your marriage -- (link) - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 15, 06:25 2

- I just don't understand how these laws are allowed by courts when they can see the evidence. There's no voting fraud and there's an undue burden - Krusty Oct 15, 06:26
- what does the ID law entail? - Andie Oct 15, 06:23 10
  - [deleted] 1
    - that is ridiculous. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 06:40
  - All you should need is to show up and sign your name. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 06:28 6
    - But it seems like where you are they've allowed for enough options that everyone should be able to have one piece of proof. Often here they don't - Krusty Oct 15, 06:31 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        I know and we've had no fraud problems -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 06:52 3
        
        I originally meant here as in the U.S. not NYC. I should have been more clear about that. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 06:54 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I wasn't trying to be specific since it varies by state. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 06:55
  - oh, and you can declare yourself "homeless" and vote with no ID. - Andie Oct 15, 06:27
At level 4 labs like Ft. Detrick and CDC, lab workers suit up and work with Ebola every single day. Have done for years. No infections. - loosi at home Oct 15, 05:12 3
- [deleted]
- to be fair though, dealing with a virus in a dish is not the same as handling a human being oozing and moving. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 05:59 1
  - that's true, but it's also a lot more concentrated. six of one, half dozen of the other? -- nm - loosi at home Oct 15, 06:19
[deleted] 2
- Some arguements back and forth on whether they had the right protocols for the first 3 days or not -- nm - Roo Oct 15, 05:47
- Sounds like they have serious issues with protocols. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 15, 05:07
[deleted] 25
- Cuz Perry has a real good handle on this. - Kill Hunting Oct 15, 04:43 15
  - And CDC is doing fine. But naturally, people started screaming that CDC is at fault. They're not. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 15, 05:08 14
    - Regular nurses shouldn't have been asked to deal with these patients initially given they had no experience dealing with it, and were apparently not - Loyola Oct 15, 06:10 13
      - so, a patient arrives at an ER with symptoms that match ebola. Does the CBC fly in to *every hospital* and deal with that patient till the test - Andie Oct 15, 06:11 12
        
        exactly. And it will only happen more and more often. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 15, 06:23
        
        I think the least they could have been was a little more proactive than they have been. They knew it was a wildfire in Africa, and presumably they - Loyola Oct 15, 06:16 9
        
        i think they probably have done that, but the reality is if you are doing something for the first time, under pressure, there is human error. - Andie Oct 15, 06:19 8
        
        My point is, precisely because it's the first time, there would be confusion among healthcare workers about what the proper protocols were, that the - Loyola Oct 15, 06:28 7
        
        but you didn't answer my question - what do they do before the CDC shows up? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 06:31 6
        
        Take guidance from the CDC on what to do before they show up. Has there been that guidance? And if there has been, has it been adequate? - Loyola Oct 15, 06:34 5
        
        protocols exist. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 06:43 4
        
        They have failed. It's time to draw up better protocols. -- nm - Loyola Oct 15, 06:48 3
        
        *puts you in charge of the CDC task force to figure it out, since obviously you know better than they do* -- nm - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 15, 06:49 1
        
        I don't think I know better at all. But if it walks, talks, and looks like a cock up. - Loyola Oct 15, 06:52
        
        you don't think that they probably have their top people working on it? just running around saying "do better!" doesn't really change things. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 06:49
        
        (ha - CDC. Canadian typo) -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 06:11
- Clearly even he knows they screwed up. How are they explaining the 2nd nurse? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 15, 04:11 8
  - Because the CDC didn't screw up. The hospital did. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 15, 05:07 1
    - I mean the hospital. CDC had two patients and actually made them better and no one else got sick - Epiphany Oct 15, 05:44
  - [deleted] 5
    - *sigh* -- nm - Epiphany Oct 15, 04:14 4
      - In this case, protocol error. Nurses were "not protected" according to the nurses union. - loosi at home Oct 15, 05:27 3
        
        "no hospital can deal with ebola." i don't think *that's* true. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 05:56 2
        
        Correct -- nm - The Staff of Cleansing White Fire Hospital Oct 15, 05:57 1
        
        oh, believe me, i think a lot aren't. it is unprecedented, but i believe that some would handle it far better. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 06:00
I would buy this in t-shirt form -- (link) - mafic Oct 15, 02:47

Is this a sub-par episode of POI because it's kinda lame. Never seen it before. -- nm - Mop Oct 14, 22:27 3
- you can't just start watching in season 4. it has created one of the better "worlds" I have seen on TV - Beaker Oct 15, 02:46 1
  - Yeah, it's not a jump in anywhere kind of show. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 05:50
- yes. That was a Spy Who Loved Me (novel) insular plot story. Other eps feature plots, action, and character reveals that are far, far better. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 22:34

Keifer Sutherland doing an Cuervo commercial, hasn't he had a major problem with the bottle? -- nm - budice Oct 14, 19:44 21
- Only if you call passing out drunk into a lobby Christmas Tree a problem. -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 19:52 6
  - It's only a problem if he couldn't stop if he wanted to... -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 20:00
