| Mizznox 07/17/20 1:43:35 PM #34 | Not particularly, though yesterday we did just set a daily record for my city (population ~32,000) with 8 new cases. Had 7 new cases the past week after a ~12 week stretch with a total of like 17. --- |

| Mizznox 07/13/20 4:27:27 PM #12 | CloneTheHero posted... why are they shutting down? judging by gfaqs youd think theyre doing just dandy! the excuses just mount whenever you try to bury any blue states for their incompetence It's almost like their per-capita cases are a lot lower than Arizona/Texas/Florida because they actually take steps like this when things are getting worse. --- |

I mean they're going and delivering the pizzas there, I assume they're coming away with some idea of whether it's a reasonable, relatively safe thing or just a big house party. --- |

Yeah, some day I'll get around to caring enough to really try to improve my technique, lol. Maybe it's from a lifetime of playing baseball/softball, but I just can't comfortably put much power on a backhand throw, while my forehands are fine and the overhand is really natural for me. My other recent problem is that I lost the driver that I've loved using for years, then lost my backup driver. Need to buy a new one, just using a mid-range for now. --- |
| Topic | Could you get a good night's rest knowing your front door was unlocked? |

| Topic | any CEfolks play disc golf? |
| Mizznox 07/07/20 3:25:45 PM #9 | Been playing fairly regularly the past several summers, and a whole bunch this year for some social distancing fun. I think I'm alright - also not great at getting good distance with a stable shot, but overhand throws are very reliable for my tee shots when possible. Our course has a lot more elevation change and trees than any I've played on down south (Alaskan here) so there's not always room to get the elevation for those. Usually hover at or just above par playing the basic tees. But yeah, mainly just some good fun outdoors with a beer and bowl or two. --- |
| Topic | Do you personally know someone who got covid 19? |
| Mizznox 07/06/20 9:06:43 PM #15 | A friend's sister got it a couple weeks ago. She's a nurse in her mid-20s, afaik she hasn't had any complications. Another friend's mom and step-dad got it, too, and his step-dad just passed away from it. He had been very vocally on the "this is a hoax/way to control you" side of things and was often saying things like "no one even knows anyone who has it," sucks that it took this to shut him up. --- |

| Topic | Tesla electric vehicles as lowest quality auto brand in 2020 study |
| Mizznox 07/02/20 6:36:35 PM #20 | Isn't JD Power's "initial quality" mainly based on just # of complaints in the first x months of ownership, regardless of how minor? Recall hearing that before, like how Fords were constantly near the bottom for a while just because people couldn't figure out the Sync system when it was new, not that the vehicles had particularly high rates of actual issues. Edit: Well, I guess the article backs me up there, but also that Tesla did have quite a few other issues. --- |

| Mizznox 06/30/20 6:55:02 PM #42 | I mean there's certainly been some of that in the BLM protests (and the rioting is another story), but there have been way the fuck too many examples of legitimately peaceful protesters - even people totally uninvolved just passing by - getting hit or having rubber bullets or pepper balls shot at them without provocation. --- |

I dont see how those numbers could exist I'm referring to you attacking the protests while ignoring the data that has been provided, and why you've dropped that to focus on the masks. BudDupree48 posted... its a bunch of trash that they are trying to bury the protests as a reason for the spike. Its not the only reason but its one of them BudDupree48 posted... And at the same time spreading the virus like wildfire? Its a lose lose. All the chance that has happened were a couple of tv shows and movies getting altered because they don't actually care BudDupree48 posted... Do you fucking realize the screaming and droplets that funnel out of peoples mouth at those protests. --- |

Just keep consistent People are being consistent based on the fucking numbers that have been posted over and over again ITT that you keep ignoring to focus on a disagreement over level of mask use. --- |
| Topic | State with the least coronavirus? |
| Mizznox 06/30/20 2:20:02 PM #19 | Occupy_This posted... Head to Alaska, but stick to the areas that don't get cold like Juneau, Seward or Kodak Island. Juneau's been a good place to be through this. No roads in or out make it naturally isolated. Mask usage generally pretty good, bars and restaurants are open but not crowded (though I've avoided seeing the bars on Friday/Saturday nights), only had a grand total of 15 new cases since April 21st (8 in June). The vast majority of Alaska's cases are up around the Anchorage/Kenai (including Seward)/Matanuska area and Fairbanks. --- |

The manager of the club told agents that he asked Yanes Martel to give a woman, later identified as Safiya Satchell, a trespass warning after she was harassing wait staff and then threw money at a waitress. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said that Yanes Martel had no legal authority to detain the victim, that he forcibly removed her from her vehicle, and that one he took the victim to the ground, knelt on her neck. --- |

| Topic | With COVID-19 at its highest ever are you going outside? |
| Mizznox 06/25/20 6:00:32 PM #18 | Been going outside all along, plus been working as normal the whole time. Outdoor activities were always perfectly fine here as long as you follow the basic safety recommendations - this is Alaska, there's a ton of space to play in safely. My city (of ~30k people) hasn't had a new case in 12 days, and a grand total of 12 confirmed cases since April 15. Things have lightly re-opened and I've been to the bars a few times on weeknights or mid-day on weekends, been plenty comfortable with how few people have been out. --- |

Which headline? You pointed to CNBC, whose headline on the article about this is: "Federal government will end funding for 13 community-based Covid-19 test sites, most in Texas" What is misleading about this? Or are we calling it unethical when the specific # isn't included in the title but mentioned in the first couple sentences of the article? --- |

| Mizznox 06/24/20 9:25:50 PM #41 | onedarksoul posted... CNBC front page, article on Caputo I'm not seeing where he's actually refuting anything being reported. Reading articles about it on several sites, I'm seeing factual reporting in line with what Caputo is saying - federal funding will be pulled from 13 sites, with hopes that state/local funding will fill the void to keep them open. Seems more like he's ranting about people disliking the move or thinks they're making too big of a deal out of it. --- |

Study from the National Bureau of Economic Research concluding the protests have had little net effect on cases: https://www.nber.org/papers/w27408.pdf Partially because of non-protesters staying home more with the unrest going on, off-setting some of the increase from the protests themselves. --- |

| Mizznox 06/24/20 2:08:25 PM #38 | N3xtG3nGam3r posted... So since the incubation period is 14 days, what happened around 2 or so weeks ago that would cause a spike like this? Protests perhaps? The protests that the media said nothing about in regard to public health and safety? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... The protests that started about 4 weeks ago? That happened in many places that aren't seeing these surges? No doubt they had some effect, and it's hypothesized that non-protesters have stayed in more in places where things have gotten ugly to offset some of that. But these spikes don't appear to be tied to the protests. https://www.nber.org/papers/w27408.pdf --- |
