A spike in New Yorkers ingesting household cleaners following Trump’s controversial coronavirus comments -- (link) - Beaker Apr 25, 14:12 17
- But just the ones that listen to Donald Trump so... *shrug* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 25, 14:56 1
  - They may be morons, Robin. They are still human beings. - Oldtimey Batman Apr 25, 15:52
- What was the average rate of tide pod ingestion last year? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 14:47
- Compared to a year ago. I wouldn't say it's related to Trump unless it's compared to the past month. People are using cleaners more than usual this y -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 14:44 6
  - "Using" is not supposed to be "ingesting." -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:56 4
    - Yes, but more using naturally leads to more accidental ingestion. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 14:58 3
      - It really doesn't. Accidental ingestion is hard. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 15:22 2
        
        a. kids getting into bottles that are normally put away b. people using combinations like bleach plus something that makes clorine gas -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 16:50
        
        That's ridiculous and illogical. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 15:36
  - I thought it mentioned that last year Lysol (or cleansers) were not a factor. -- nm - VMan Apr 25, 14:53
- Were any on 5th Avenue? -- nm - TWuG Apr 25, 14:34 1
  - Likely not. Even Trump, as he mentions now and then, is having trouble finding people to shoot there. -- nm* - VMan Apr 25, 15:05
- nine were specifically about possible exposure to Lysol. Ten were in regards to bleach and 11 about household cleaners in general -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 14:12 4
  - Jeebus, and he won't bat an eyelash. -- nm - VMan Apr 25, 14:15 3
    - They're just New York Librulz, V. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:43 2
      - To me. this is truly becoming a Darwinian disease. It's a tragedy but, in some cases harder and harder to have sympathy. Which scares me. - VMan Apr 25, 14:52 1
        
        same here. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:56
feds shut down holistic wellness clinics offering ozone treatments (normally used to disinfect work spaces and cars, uber drivers were discussing it) -- (link*) - zeitgeist Apr 25, 14:11 1

- We agree he's dead, right? -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:43 8
  - There's a huge amount of misinformation, but I'd consider it a strong possibility. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 14:47
  - Seems to be the likely conclusion based on what information is available. - znufrii, silly old man Apr 25, 14:45 6
    - The only question for me is ,stated heart attack or the virus. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 14:49 5
      - I thought it was botched heart surgery? how old is he supposed to be? -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:55 2

        Pretty sneaky, sis. -- nm - VMan Apr 25, 14:57
- He may have had one of those circus freak regurgitators teaching him how to swallow light bulbs. You know, for those hard to reach places (lungs). -- nm - VMan Apr 25, 14:12
I really need to trim my bangs - but I don't seem to have a comb?!? Guess it will have to wait for my trip to the store. -- nm - Meg Apr 25, 13:08

The DC football team had 5 needs listed on ESPN. Through 5 picks, they have drafted 1 player in those positions. - Will Hunting Apr 25, 11:50 10
- Maybe they should have hired Belicheck’s dog? -- nm - spamlet Apr 25, 11:58
- To be fair, with that many holes, BPA is the way to go. Unfortunately, I only like Chase Young out of their draft so far. -- nm - David Apr 25, 11:58 6
  - It think they might have 1 solid wide receiver of the two they drafted but how are they not getting a TE? - Will Hunting Apr 25, 12:01 5
    - The TEs in this draft are garbage. The kid from Stanford is the only one who can catch. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst Apr 25, 12:12 4
      - you know who needs more TE's? The Bears, they only have 10 currently -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 12:15 3
        
        There's something like 10 NFL teams with at least six TEs right now. It's out of control. -- nm - David Apr 25, 12:21

    - It was so busy people were buying without going in the store? -- nm - Loyola Apr 25, 11:40 2
      - Oh! They are doing curbside only. So you place the order online and pick it up in the parking lot. I’d say about 40 cars or so? -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 11:53 1
        
        Ah ok. I'm thinking of going long on somewhere that sells TV's. - Loyola Apr 25, 11:56

- I think this is a fair review. I prefer the VATS here as an auto-aim. I really love the perk system that... - Qale Apr 25, 09:29 2
  - I'm still getting the hang of the perks and such, makes more sense now than it did. Wishing I'd focused more on a melee build. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 25, 09:39 1
    - Melee is OP for sure. I like how deep some secrets are buried. Finding some are truly insane without nudges. - Qale Apr 25, 10:20
current RealClearPolitics battleground state polling averages: - mud Apr 25, 08:15 3
- If 2020 has taught me anything it’s that I have no idea what the world will be like in June much less trying to predict November. -- nm - Dano Apr 25, 08:42 2
  - these diversions are interesting as a snapshot rather than a prediction -- nm - mud Apr 25, 08:50 1
    - It is true that historically a situation where the incumbent gets to be presidential and the opponent is ignored should be helping the incumbent. -- nm - Dano Apr 25, 08:56

From B2, Trump’s “China loan” is probably a big sensationalist nothingburger. -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man Apr 25, 08:02
Am I the Asshole? I called the cops on my neighbors tonight for having a fucking party during lockdown. Nm - ralph wiggum Apr 25, 07:44 8

  - 42% on RT? Aw, come on! That's way too low. -- nm - Open Baron Apr 25, 08:07
- Any news on the "Does Tim have COVID-19" front? -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 07:43 4
  - Absolutely no idea. I probably have to wait for the antibody test to be more readily available. -- nm - Tim Apr 25, 07:49 3
    - Hasn’t it been over a month now? It’s more like did you have it at this point. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 08:00 2
