- Yay! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 10:51
- So glad to hear this. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 09:30

- yeah! -- nm - prayformojo Jul 12, 09:21
- That's terrific! -- nm - David Jul 12, 09:21

  - Bonus question -- (pic) - prayformojo Jul 12, 09:07 [Attachment] 1
    - Answer (spoiler) - prayformojo Jul 12, 09:08 [Attachment]
:( Florida +15,300 -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 08:37 11
- THat'll be the July 4th spike. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 09:15
- Headline of Orlando Sentinel: "Long Waits for COVID-19 Test Results" - David Jul 12, 08:59
- With 45 deaths. Last Sunday was 10,059 cases with 29 deaths. The numbers are going the wrong direction...quickly. -- nm* - Inigo Jul 12, 08:49 3
  - The only plus side is that the positivity rate was 11.25% compared to two days ago when it was over 18%. -- nm - Inigo Jul 12, 09:05 2
    - So a large increase in testing -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 09:07 1
      - No, fewer immediate testing results. -- nm - David Jul 12, 09:11
- Fuuuuuuuuuck. -- nm - mafic Jul 12, 08:49
- And these are infections from actions within the last 14 days. How can we expect it to be lower anytime soon? -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 08:45
- dammit -- nm - prayformojo Jul 12, 08:38
- i saw that and literally shouted out loud. holy crap. -- nm - colin Jul 12, 08:37 1
  - Someone texted me the number and I was like "that can't be right" -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 08:39
Today's walk was to the castle -- (pic) - LMS Jul 12, 08:23 [Attachment] 3
- Cool! -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 09:31
- nice. Has it been in your family for a long time? -- nm - mud Jul 12, 08:43 1
  - Different castle. The family home had a moat at the bottom of the garden though -- nm - LMS Jul 12, 09:15
The opportunity for pwnage on the Trump cognitive test thing is so great, I'm actually going to be worried for Biden's campaign if they don't - rollo Jul 12, 07:40 4
- Honestly, though, there aren't enough ads for all the material available. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 07:42 3
  - Not ads, but Joe being adequately prepped on how to handle the issue with media etc. - rollo Jul 12, 08:14 2
    - Which is a bit at the heart of the "I take a test daily by being out on the trail" comment, though they need to to tighten the wording up a bit - Reagen Jul 12, 08:17 1
      - Almost understandable given the talk about frequent- if not daily - COVID testing for those around people in power. -- nm - mafic Jul 12, 08:33
Ever see a run-of-the-mill book on Amazon with an outrageous price? This author has a theory. -- (link) - Maracello Jul 12, 07:20 10
- It’s an interesting theory. I always attributed it to bots and algorithms gone mad. My debut novel (which I can’t remove from Amazon) is the same. -- (link) - Qale Jul 12, 07:26 9
  - Another question. Say I bought it at that price. Would you see any of the money? -- nm - Maracello Jul 12, 07:34 1
    - No. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 07:59
  - SOLD!!!--nm - zunk takes things literally Jul 12, 07:30
  - Can you put it up for sale yourself, at a reasonable price, and see if that changes the price of this one? -- nm - Maracello Jul 12, 07:29 5
    - It will. Back when the novel was in print (I actually had to hassle with iUniverse to get it that way, and to disable a non-approved ebook) those... - Qale Jul 12, 08:00 4
      - More: Pixiesticks is a pretty old book at this point. Vanity Press was a big thing then. It was just before self-publishing legit was taking off. - Qale Jul 12, 08:04 3
        
        Thanks for the info! -- nm - Maracello Jul 12, 08:09 2
        
        Wanna feel old? Pixiesticks is 18 years old as of this past April. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 08:10 1
        
        No, Qale, I do not want to feel old. :-) (But wow.) -- nm - Maracello Jul 12, 08:14
While in Florida I hear a few ads that sounded like they were for a pet cemetery. In context though they were for a business called - ty97 Jul 12, 07:00 6
- I remember a SoCal chain called "Dr. Tattoff." (nm) - howie Jul 12, 07:30
- That's a terrible name for their business -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 07:04 4
  - Maybe go with clean canvas or clean slate. Something much less associated with death. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 12, 07:05 3
    - You haven't seen the website with the gravestones -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 07:07 2
      - Yeesh. Not what I'd go with but it seems to be working well for them. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 07:18
      - "The Gallery of Face Swastikas" -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 07:12

- American Psycho Sprinkler Mister Moisture Lance Archer -- nm - Tim Jul 12, 07:38
Both the salmon fishcakes and the Vietnamese shaking beef turned out great! - Dmiva Jul 12, 06:45 3
- Generally speaking, I prefer my beef not to be shaking when I go to eat it. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 12, 08:12
- :) -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 08:00
- I presume there aren’t any leftovers to send me. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 07:01

  - What if you use a 2-in-1? -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 12, 06:17 3
    - *aghast* -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 06:57
    - Like a common ruffian? -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 06:34 1
      - I bet there are guys here that just use soap for everything including their hair. - Krusty Jul 12, 06:59

I second the recommendation for Palm Springs (Andy Samberg movie on Hulu). It's very enjoyable. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 00:47 1
- Yup. Watched it last night and it was really good. I just recommended it to someone I was talking to at the supermarket. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 06:41
The Old Guard was really good. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 00:41 3
- Only 15 minutes in-and I love it! -- nm - Flavorize Jul 12, 03:41
- (Much better, in many ways, than 6 Underground) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 00:42 1
  - Much better in many ways than Atomic Blonde -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 04:06
Once you’ve seen one shopping center - JD Jul 11, 23:11 1
- I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 05:38
I'm not watching it, but the UFC Fight Island main event is trending for its toe-stomping. - David Jul 11, 22:45 1
- Opted out as well. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 04:19
Thing I just learned: Jean Grey, Wolverine and Cyclops are in a polyamorous relationship. And Spider-Man, Black Cat, and MJ may have one, too. - David Jul 11, 22:20 2
- Spider-Man learned a bit too much from his hero Mr. Stark, eh? -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 05:39
- Yup. -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 22:39
Backboarding, "Joe Biden and the Democrats"...sounds like the name of a band. -- nm - Loyola Jul 11, 22:04 1
- so what's a poor boy to do, but to sing in a rock n roll band -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 00:21
I mean, nothing bad has ever happened as a result of a Great White concert. -- (link) - Tim Jul 11, 21:50 4
- is this the band that set off fireworks in a club that caused a fire that killed a couple hundred fans? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 00:23 1
  - Yes. -- nm - Herkellys Mulligan Jul 12, 07:08
- If the band has four members now, they should changes their names to Horsemen of the Apocalypse. -- nm - David Jul 11, 21:52 1
  - that's a good band name :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 11, 22:12
9% of Democrats approve of Trump's handling of COVID. - ty97 Jul 11, 21:32 5
- USA is number 1, so yay! Go Trump. Gold medal. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 22:10 1
  - Aren't we great? -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 22:40
- I believe there are still plenty of registered Democrats in the South that haven't voted that way in decades. -- nm - Tim Jul 11, 21:37
- Some of that might be reverse psychology / craven political gain. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 21:34 1
  - I think it's even simpler. I think it's a combination of data entry error and inaccurate poll responses. -- nm - David Jul 11, 21:41
Poll watchers should read this one. -- (link) - David Jul 11, 21:22 7
- A couple of other thoughts - ty97 Jul 11, 21:29 3
  - Trump's polling has become quite easy to track. - David Jul 11, 21:40
  - He opened back up so quickly that everyone knew it was going to explode and barred localities from being more stringent - Will Hunting Jul 11, 21:37
  - Reelected 56-42 in 2018. (as Sinema won 50-47) -- nm - Tim Jul 11, 21:32
- Hmmmmmm, this points seems counter-intuitive to me at first reading - ty97 Jul 11, 21:26 2
  - They have to act pragmatic in how they approach the office. The ideology in MD is smart limited governance. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 21:36
  - I would presume it's governors who chose public safety over partisanship. - David Jul 11, 21:35

During the sale yesterday one of the volunteers had her car stolen from the lot. Of course we were sympathetic until we learned the car was unlocked - Meg Jul 11, 20:27 4
- Still upsetting to think someone would steal a car from the parking lot of your place of work. -- nm - Mop Jul 11, 21:00
- .. so then we found out where she lived and just walked in and robbed the place. It was easy. -- nm - Meg si Jul 11, 20:28 1
  - I was almost surprised she didn't have her house keys on the same ring :/ -- nm - Meg Jul 11, 21:07

  - "2020 will forever be known as the year of the clogger!" -- nm - Max Jul 11, 20:29
A rural Louisiana district just elected a trans woman (Dem, as if that needs saying) to public office -- (link) - TWuG Jul 11, 20:19 2
- To be fair, they had no idea it was a trans woman. - Epiphany Jul 11, 21:38
