Well, now we know stupidity doesn't discriminate. In America, it's equal opportunity.

This required foreign partners to dive in to have any prayer of working; not even Russia would risk this, either. Likely having intel officials willing to testify to that too. Why would either do that after 2003?

COVID-19: More than 60 nations back Australia's call for an independent inquiry into the virus origins

Not that I think China cooked COVID-19 up in a super-secret Bioterrorism lab, but I don't trust info that comes out of China. Underestimating the Wuhan death toll by 50%, reports of useless PPE and respirators; if China comes out of this weaker on the global stage, that is probably a good thing.

Anybody else watch CineFix? They do movie top 10 lists, but unlike most channels the lists are actually good and the videos are full of content (none of that hey wuzzup guys be sure to smash that like button, lick that subscribe button, and tweak your nips while turning on notifications bullshit)

On behalf of all of us in the non-US part of the world -- except for Russia and probably North Korea -- may we ask that you teleport past the pre-, peri-, and post-election violence that I am personally fearful could reach civil war levels in some areas and get back to doing some global leadership, please?

We haven't been in a global leadership role for 3.5 years.

Stalingrad is great. I highly recommend it if you never feel like smiling ever again.

Stalingrad: Great Movie!

Just watched it...thanks all for the recommendation..

 

[Rebels57]

Is it me or has the election talk been pretty non-existent?

Not making it a political discussion, just a notice that I've never seen this limited engagement 6 months before an election before

No rallies because of the Pandemic. And I think Biden is trying to tread lightly when it comes to campaigning with thousands dying daily. Tricky situation. Im guessing it will ramp up in the middle of summer.

 

[Lord Defect]

Biden’s best campaign strategy is staying out of the limelight as long as possible.

"“Why do they try to take our humanity? Our pride?” one partygoer told the newspaper. “It’s not fair to us — we’re all human.”"

@MiamiScreamingEagles

What is your quarantine recommendation for Eastwood films?

I'd personally go with any Leone film. Especially any "Once Upon A Times," just for the sheer amount of time they can eat.

"Fistful of Dollars" or "Outlaw Josey Wales" easily for me. Or any of his WW2 roles.

Apparently the UK may have a vaccine by this September if trials are successful.

My point.

When you say "about this" so you mean human society in general

Apparently the UK may have a vaccine by this September if trials are successful.

Don't hold your breath.
I think there's a lot of wishful thinking going on right now.

Before you ramp up to produce a billion or so doses (much less distribute and use them) you need large scale trials to ensure the vaccine actually works, after you've determined the potential cure isn't worse than the disease.

The idea that you can compress this process into a few months is a tad bit optimistic.

The '98 HR Chase 30 for 30 should be good but yeah...

Hopefully live sports become a thing again.
