  1. lol. I've had a manager who forgot to stop presenting his screen after doing a preso, and everyone watched him surf the web looking at motorcycles. It was funny for us, but a bit embarrassing for him. I can't even imagine the embarrassment of zooming your junk.
  2. Ah the classic rocket equation! A constant thrust with continuously depleting mass will result in ever increasing acceleration.
  3. No bailouts. No equity. Let them fail. EDIT: A bit heartless, so I'll modify my statement a bit: In a case where an airline can no longer afford to pay their workers, pilots, crews, etc., the government should step in to pay the workers directly for a period of time while the airline restructures or reduces services in order to be profitable again. No money should be given directly to the airlines.
  4. He also has an identical twin Astronaut brother. Cue ominous music and foreboding voice: "Arizona, how do we know for sure which Kelly is actually running for Senate? Is it Scott or Mark? Play it safe and smart and vote for McSally this November 3rd."
  5. Yeah, but Kelly is a certified badass astronaut. That's hard to run against.
  6. I only know of Wawa from the show the Goldbergs. When I lived in Saratoga Springs NY, we had Stewarts, which was a pretty good convenience store regional chain.
  7. You get used to it. Plus, different cloth masks behave differently. I have one mask that basically stay very close to my mouth and nose, so when I'm walking around the campus, it's pretty hard to breath because I keep sucking the fabric into my mouth and nose. I also have another mask that has a ridge/seam down the middle that effectively keeps the mask separated from my face holes, which allows for easier breathing.
  8. We require them at work, even though our campus is not open to the public, and I never go anywhere except for home and work, so I just always have mine with me.
  9. I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. You should instead use range weapons, like a bo staff or a throwing spear to keep a 6 foot distance between yourself and assholes like that.
  10. It could be from Sturgis, but it could also because it's getting colder out. People are spending more time indoors, and people are letting their guard down.
  11. One thing I noticed yesterday when I dropped off my ballot at city hall was that the drop box had both an election official and a police officer on station. The officer had one of those clicker things to count the number of people who dropped off their ballots. There were multiple signs in the vicinty of city hall, directing people to where the drive through location was in the parking lot. All together, a pleasant and efficient system. I should be able to go online in the next few days and check the status of my ballot to ensure it was received.
  12. The scientists were right - the fall and the colder weather that it brings have led to an increase in positive cases. The surge in cases after each of the big holidays in America is going to be horrible.
  13. Probably true. This board is full of angsty leftists who will be angrily disappointed by Biden's constant drive towards the center.
  14. It's sort of like one of those comic book plots where enemies have to join forces over a story arc in order to defeat some galactic super villain. Don't expect the relationship between the enemies to last.
  15. You assholes will be glad to know I dropped off my ballot today, and I voted for Biden. The first time I've voted for a Democrat for President. Sorry Jo, maybe I'll vote Libertarian again in 2024.
  16. I just started watching the Biden town hall about 20 minutes ago. it's pretty boring compared to the Trump circus. But that's a good thing. I'm sure most of the headlines tomorrow will be centered around Trump's interesting performance.
