IN: 634 new cases. We had been in the 400s for a few days. Let's see what tomorrow brings. -- nm - Spawn May 14, 10:25 7
- Does your state have a strategy for finding the most infected? Or is it still just "Come out here to this location if you have these symptoms?" -- nm - con_carne May 14, 11:03 1
  - *insert far away location here that's far for the most vulnerable people*? -- nm - con_carne May 14, 11:06
- Watching FL's dashboard it makes me doubtful. I'm not one for conspiracies, but I also don't 100% believe the numbers. -- (link) - JaxSean May 14, 10:44
- We've had weird testing spikes lately. We had dropped into the 1250 range for a couple of days (which was a meaningful drop) and then all of a sudden - pmb May 14, 10:36 3

  - Noticed more testing in a number of states -- nm - budice May 14, 10:38 1
    - One should hope so. The stimulus bill added billions for testing. More testing, more cases. *shrug* -- nm - con_carne May 14, 10:58

  - NJ residents (and I know NY residents too) have taken this more seriously then most of the country. That much I can tell you. -- nm - Jovian May 14, 10:24 3
    - The beaches will be super packed, is my prediction. I'm also sure people will be very conscientious about social distancing, washing, masks, etc. - JackDawson May 14, 10:40 2
      - I think it will be a mixed bag. We have some of those 'open the country' types in NY/NJ too - ty97 May 14, 11:05
      - I agree. Jerseyians are now at 2 months of this, getting to the beach will be a welcome respite. - Jovian May 14, 10:47
  - Mothers' Day Red Lobster Mob will go down in history like the Zoot Suit Riots and the Great Molasses Flood. -- nm* - Diva May 14, 10:21

  - Red Lobster Mob is my seventh favourite Solange song. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 10:17 2

      - MDH gon' come for you. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 10:22

  - I'm not sure I'd say that (spoilers) - oblique May 14, 10:44
- agreed. just no more returning to the game shit -- nm - Beaker May 14, 10:35
I splurged and got the "High Protein" bowl from Chipotle instead of the Keto Salad bowl. - oblique May 14, 09:58 2
- I think this is our lunch for tomorrow. Though our Chipotle is being shamed on our FB city group for employees wearing masks but not over their nose - Pippy - aka Odie May 14, 10:14

    - Yay!!! less pain plus sleep -- nm - Pippy - aka Odie May 14, 10:15
    - so along with your Grandpa bones you're now taking Grandpa naps? -- nm - decline May 14, 09:58 1

    - Feinstein apparently spoke with the FBI and provided documentation showing she was not involved -- (link) - decline May 14, 10:09

    - Nah, she took 60 seconds to yell at a scheduling director and then compose herself to not ever reference it again. - Will Hunting May 14, 09:24

  - I would have? -- nm - Qale May 14, 10:23
Funko Pop: X-Men 20th Anniversary. -- (link) - Shaun May 14, 09:01 21
- Me last night to Logan, while looking at his 8 Pops: "Guess how many a friend of mine has." - Spawn May 14, 09:05 20

    - We then started doing the math and visualizing how much room in a Pop Room that would take up. We agreed that Beaker needs a few more. -- nm - Spawn May 14, 09:11 12
      - the boxes take up the most room; but I've cleared out a couple shelves in the playroom. The baseball bat holders are dandy for showing them out of box -- nm - Beaker May 14, 09:15 11
        
        5 of mine are out of the box. They were my first 5 also. I do not regret taking the D.Va out. It's an awesome Pop. -- nm* - Shaun May 14, 09:16 9
        
        Most of ours aren’t in their boxes. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 14, 09:24

- Fall TV 2020: It's This or 20 Shows Shot on Zoom - Reagen May 14, 08:38 9
  - Laughed at your IM. I mean I guess if a show is on Spectrum Originals does anyone really watch it? But this seems so odd. -- nm - MDH May 14, 08:41 8
    - those are some pretty big names for a show that I'd literally never heard of until just now. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 08:42 7

        Jessica Alba is a hot billionaire successful business woman. If she wants to appear on TV in lingerie, who's going to object? -- nm - mud May 14, 09:00 2
        
        In fact, shame on NBC for not encouraging such behavior! -- nm - Spawn May 14, 09:09 1
        
        :-D -- nm - mud May 14, 09:10
      - I recognize 6 of 7 names on Wiki for it. Yeah, that’s a solid cast for a tv show. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 08:49 2
        
        I see why NBC passed...the cost of the pilot was $12M. -- nm - MDH May 14, 08:55
        
        You're not kidding. -- nm - loosilu May 14, 08:55
Happy Birthday Loosi !! -- nm - Meg May 14, 08:34 5

USA has cancelled The Purge and Treadstone. - MDH May 14, 08:27 5
- USA pretty much cancelled -- nm - budice May 14, 08:33 2

  - this -- nm - Beaker May 14, 10:18
- "USA to focus on unscripted and limited series" -- nm - MDH May 14, 08:33

Dawson, I don't think the "my body, my freedom" argument is as much of a disconnect as you think. - ty97 May 14, 08:26 16
- In my discussions with people I use the "right" to smoke cigarettes as my ammo. -- nm - Spawn May 14, 08:47 1
  - Right, like smoking sections in restaurants. Or as I sometimes put it these days, like having a peeing section of the pool. -- nm - loosilu May 14, 08:50
- pre-censored groiny level post (but also because it is dumb but that is my mind for you), spoiler inside - Spawn May 14, 08:32 1
  - eek -- nm - Pippy - aka Odie May 14, 08:43
- I’m 100pct sure you’re right and they don’t see it as a disconnect. But there is a disconnect - JackDawson May 14, 08:31 6
  - But you're relying on political thinking, not religious or theological views. - ReluctantCynic May 14, 08:34 3
    - That's true, though the contradictions there are even starker than the somewhat subtler political philosophy inconsistency - JackDawson May 14, 08:42 2
      - When you say "those people," are you talking about ... - ReluctantCynic May 14, 09:07 1
        
        I was referring to the same exact people you were referring to in your post, the use of the pronoun "those" is typically meant to refer back to a noun - JackDawson May 14, 09:15
  - There's a logic, but is a selfish, sociopathic one. -- nm - Reagen May 14, 08:34 1
    - (and it's one that the bill is coming due on) -- nm - Reagen May 14, 08:35
- Ah, but neither is breaking quarantine. It hurts someone else's body. -- nm - loosilu May 14, 08:29 4
  - It could (not at all certain it will) but that person who could be harmed also has the choice to keep their body home. - ty97 May 14, 08:31 3
    - Not necessarily. People bring it home to their families. -- nm - loosilu May 14, 08:33
    - You’re getting into a policy argument which is interesting of course, but not my point -- nm - JackDawson May 14, 08:32 1
      - There's the old bit about "The Constitution Is Not A Suicide Pact" but some people seem to be saying "Fuck You, 'I Won't Do It'!" -- nm - Reagen May 14, 08:40
Mooooo -- nm - Spawn May 14, 08:26 1
- .. for evil. -- nm - mud May 14, 08:28
