Where did I put my W-2? - ReluctantCynic Mar 1, 10:01 12
- the freezer -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 1, 12:26
- If it was up your butt, you’d know it. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 11:36
- get the one from last year, cut n paste the date, who'll know? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 10:58
- I made a huge donation of items after we moved and I can’t find the receipt and I’m like *gaze* -- nm - JackDawson Mar 1, 10:45 1
  - I have no idea what I did with the sales receipts from both used cars I bought in 2019. Something about sales tax I think I need -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:43
- oh yeah, taxes are a thing -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 10:12
- Normandy? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:04
- Just estimate what you think it was, it'll be fine. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 10:04 4
  - So, like, two dollars? - ReluctantCynic Mar 1, 10:05 3
    - Seems reasonable. And with, what?, like $50,000 in taxes withheld you're looking at a pretty healthy refund! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 10:09 2
      - plus some upcoming free lodging....... -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 10:13 1

Huh. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 1, 09:46
This is a good tweet (and Kelly I think you might appreciate it) -- (link) - ty97 Mar 1, 08:18 19
- I don’t get overly offended or anything about it, but it is a sobering reminder that as well as I feel, I *am* at risk/immunocompromised. -- nm - kelly Mar 1, 11:23 2
  - "it's no worry, I'll survive it" is *exactly* anti-vaxxer logic. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 12:14 1
    - I'd like to think I'd survive it, but one thing my lungs love to do is produce mucus, so I'd probably be in for a very rough time. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 12:26
- I feel for Kelly (my mama has diabetes) but why do such sensitive people go on Twitter? Facts are facts. Covid19 don't care if you find it offensive -- nm - con_carne Mar 1, 09:22 15
  - It's not that people are finding facts problematic. - ty97 Mar 1, 09:36 13
    - I find interesting what or how it gets reported. “This person just died of corona!” is news but “this person just died of flu” isn’t - JackDawson Mar 1, 10:55 10
      - FWIW I worry all flu season, too. -- nm - kelly Mar 1, 11:22 1
        
        I would too if I had your health concerns!! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 1, 11:25
      - Magnitudes more people die in car crashes daily then in plane crashes yearly. Concern doesn't always follow actual harm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:20 4
        
        I mean, what constitutes worry? I get a flu shot in an effort to avoid it. I ask coworkers who might have symptoms to stay home. - Dark Callisto Mar 1, 12:17 2
        
        I would say everyone should get a flu shot every year it’s a very innocuous (haha) precaution - and it goes without saying that sock people should sta - JackDawson Mar 1, 12:39
        
        I would say those are the rational precautions. A lot of people dismiss those options. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 12:38
        
        Right— hence my finding it interesting -- nm - JackDawson Mar 1, 11:22
      - Flu has a vaccine. Flu is a familiar. We've grown accustomed to flu's level of deadliness. - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:15 1
        
        Right also we don’t really know fully the level of little or much damage this virus can cause— uncertainty creates fear and anxiety - JackDawson Mar 1, 11:21
      - Hot new thing -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 10:56
    - Little by little. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 10:46
    - This. - ReluctantCynic Mar 1, 10:06

- It's a great one. - zunk, man of means by no means Mar 1, 07:44 2
  - Back when I had my massive mood swings, I would time my listening depending on what part of the arc I was in. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 10:58
  - all their albums are better listens while baked but that's true with any good music. -- nm - mud Mar 1, 08:55
- Pretty sure I've never once listened to it. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 07:40
He won SC by 28.5. Still a bit of a wow. -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 07:08 3

Interesting to me: Bernie got basically same # votes in SC as 16, the non Bernie vote grew noticeably. This notion that he’s expanding the field seems - JackDawson Feb 29, 20:25 3
- None of the first four have expanded the field but that’s the argument you still hear. - spamlet Mar 1, 03:47
- he's been doing a lot of outreach to the latino community, so California?....all his i'm sure -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 01:24
- Didn't his campaign do a lot of work registering Latino voters? For each of these primaries? -- nm - Flavorize Feb 29, 22:07
If I'm reading this correctly, SCers who support M4A voted 44% for Biden, 28% for Sanders. *head tilt* -- (link) - ty97 Feb 29, 20:06 1

AEW spoiler - Tim Feb 29, 19:44
So it's probably a fair guess that C-19 has been spreading in the US undetected for at least a week, if not more, right? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 29, 19:36 5
- I don't think it's spreading from person to person, I think it's escaping from breaches in the Pacific Ocean like kaiju. -- nm - Max Feb 29, 19:47 1
  - That fits the data so far. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 29, 20:07
- I won't put an exact timeframe on it, but yeah it certainly seems it's been spreading here for a little bit - ty97 Feb 29, 19:46 1
