Florida: 9,194 cases, 15.03% percent positive, 132 deaths -- (link) - Inigo Jul 14, 08:15 5

  - hoes up, gs down. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 08:20
  - Yeah, looks like they just didn't test as much. -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 14, 08:17 2
    - Their testing numbers vary throughout the week I have noticed, sometimes substantially. -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:27 1
      - I assume it's because of reporting schedules. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 08:29

    - Oh, and my friends also have the kids on a completely separate network from the home office network, as if the home one was classified. -- (edited) - loosilu Jul 14, 08:20 2
      - Geesh -- nm - Epiphany with Brazen wheats of grain Jul 14, 08:21 1

- Jiggle the handle? -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 14, 08:14 1

    - I should have known FL wouldn't let CA have this one. -- nm - Epiphany with Brazen wheats of grain Jul 14, 07:54
    - I was considering telling you about that one. I get reports of ship fires in work email. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:53 8
      - It was pretty big news here since all the firefighters got badly injured. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 08:07 7
        
        Same is happening in CA, unfortunately. Over 50 injured. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 08:09
        
        In normal times this would be national headline news. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:09 5
        
        In the next few years, we'll learn about all kinds of crazy things that happened that didn't make the news, because, 2020. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 08:10 4

Disgusting -- (link) - ty97 Jul 14, 07:37 18
- We suck so much -- nm - Krusty Jul 14, 07:43 1
  - Not "we". The people in this admin don't get to be "we" when they continually act in selfish, dangerous, and authoritarian ways. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 07:45
- So his approval ratings are going up? -- nm - JackDawson Jul 14, 07:41
- That’s not unusual. Many state executions happen with motions still pending. -- nm - spamlet Jul 14, 07:41 13
  - Executing him was disgusting. The details just add to the disgusting. -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:07
  - Ummm, no. This was unusual. The Supreme Court has moved into "quick and immediate denial of last minutes stay petitions" mode---this is the first ti - JackDawson Jul 14, 07:42 11
    - It may be the first time it’s happened with the Feds but it’s not unusual for Missouri for the process to play out exactly as that. - spamlet Jul 14, 07:45 10
      - Just to be clear, you're not saying this is OK right ? Just that it happens all the time? -- nm - JackDawson Jul 14, 07:46
      - I guess if it's good enough for Missouri... -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 14, 07:46
      - Which is bullshit when they do it and should be called out. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 07:46 7
        
        Of course it should be but we also shouldn't pretend this isn't SOP. - spamlet Jul 14, 07:49 6
        
        This is the first time it has happened at the federal level. That's worth noting and railing against. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 07:51
        
        it is not federal government SOP-- you can keep saying it and it won't make it so -- nm - JackDawson Jul 14, 07:51 4
        
        We should only get what Missouri gets, and like it. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jul 14, 08:04 3
        
        Yep - that's EXACTLY what he said. nm -- nm - Daniel Prime Jul 14, 08:05 2
        
        really? And here I thought I was just using hyperbole in order to make a rhetorical point. But, if the shoe fits... -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 14, 08:07 1
        
        Oh, silly me. I thought you were firing a second shot at both Missouri and spammy - since no one responded to the first one. -- nm - Daniel Prime Jul 14, 08:11

  - Correct! -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 14, 07:44
- I looked it up, and one of them is a TRICK. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:43 3
  - Unlike Oliver North, i was unfamiliar with the fifth. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 14, 07:48 1
    - Because he started as Army and became Air Force. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 08:13
  - meaning Patton was correct, but it's Patton Oswalt? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 07:44
- Ike, Patton, McArthur, I'm stuck. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:39 1

  - Yes! (From the great state of Missourah.) -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 14, 07:39
- Powell, Stormin Norman, Washington, Patton. macarthur -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 07:37 5
  - Washington is technically a 6 star general as his rank is always one higher than the highest rank given. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 14, 07:53
  - MacArthur, yes. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 14, 07:39 3
    - I know Ike was the last one. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:39 2
      - He was not. Bradley was the last. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 14, 07:40 1
        
        I suck at this. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:41
I take no joy in that guy losing money on JCP but....why, why, why would people buy bankrupt stocks? -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 07:35 6
- Money machine go brrrrrrrrr. -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 08:28
- "a ha, Musical Chairs, the game where the music never stops!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 07:37
- Same reason people go to casinos -- nm - decline Jul 14, 07:36
- maybe he thought the government would bail them out like we bail out big banks when they do insane things and take crazy risks? - JackDawson Jul 14, 07:36 2
  - yeah but he's not a big bank, he shouldn't expect that -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 07:38 1
    - shouldn't he? When we act in ways that undermine the idea that there is a free market in this context, you cause this sort of externalities -- nm - JackDawson Jul 14, 07:43
If God had wanted me to get treated for bubonic plague he wouldn't of given it to that squirrel i had sexual relations with -- nm - Florida Man Jul 14, 07:34
"I know where we can get baguettes!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 07:32 3

  - Becky! -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:36
Boop -- (link) - ty97 Jul 14, 07:32 1
- I'd agree on both points - things seem to have RttM by 1 or 2, but there's been a big dropoff in the # of polls. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 07:34
