the biggest hurdle for helping folks in Gromnir's family who are at risk is Gromnir's family. we got an 82 year old aunt who recent visited her 79 year old sister in socal. the 82 year old were so pleased with how empty were the plane on her return trip. 82 year old's travel companion were her daughter, an rn. ? they didn't wanna cancel plane and lodging reservations made months in advance. didn't change visit itinerary at all given the covid-19 situation. later we got off the phone with the 79 year old aunt who now lives in socal. she complained o' folks at costco buying all the tp ("particularly the asians"... she even mimicked an asian accent as she described a conversation she had with a woman in the store) and then shared how when she went to the nail salon, her friend didn't wanna sit close enough so our aunt could hear. our aunt pointed out how silly such social distancing is given neither she or friend has been showing symptoms and fact is there is almost 0 orange county covid-19 sufferers at this time. am not certain if that "fact" she shared is true, but we pointed out how with limited testing and so many being asymptomatic, that 0 number were not something she should depend 'pon to make reasonable safety judgements. aunt then observed how hypocritical it were for her friend to complain 'bout social distancing at an asian nail salon, 'cause y'know how filthy those places actually are. ... have mentioned previous how we have spinal/nerve issues. we ordinarily take prednisone. decided in february to stop taking and informed our doctor we had stopped. she agreed it were a good idea to halt prednisone, but is not as if she called Gromnir to warn us. doctors are swamped at this time. nevertheless, wondering how many other folks who maybe ain't as aware as us is taking meds which would make 'em more vulnerable and nobody is informing them o' dangers. our mother had cancer and sister had lupus. while we were taking care o' them they took more than a dozen pills a day. am suspecting many older folks fill up their pill box for the week and have only slimmest notion o' what a majority o' those pills do. we had a few brief conversations with current older family members on both sides o' family 'bout whether or not they had checked to see if they should stop taking any meds or otherwise change treatment. most were dismissive and assumed the doctors would let 'em know what they should do, if anything. hope they are right. HA! Good Fun!

as to fauci image posted 'bove, we will say, watching the briefing in real time, looked more like fauci were wiping sweat from brow, which were understandable given the exchange trump were having with reporters. President kept asking fauci to bail him out and explain how trump were justified in expressing non-scientific and over-optimistic views regarding a host o' issues including testing and the antimalarial drugs. fauci were not able to do so to trump's satisfaction. btw, the particular moment captured in time in the image 'bove were trump referencing the state department as the deep state department. compare trump pressers to governor cuomo. don't particular like cuomo, but he is saying right things in a time o' crisis. as algroth observes, is a misleading headline from cnn on the china recovery stuff.... or at least is misleading if only headline is read. majority recovery ignores how numbers from china suggest 4% mortality and 20% o' folks need some kinda hospitalization. so technical true regarding majority, but vast underrepresenting scope o' dangers. here in the US we are hoping the 4% number is a result o' insufficient widespread testing, but we do not know for certain. am also facing a monumental surge capacity crisis as we do not have anywhere near enough beds and ventilators and healthy doctors if we cannot flatten the curve. HA! Good Fun!

doesn't make sense to hard boil eggs to preserve shelf life. s'posed have a dozen eggs been sitting in fridge 3 weeks and 6 days *snort* and then hard boil in belief you get an extra week? stoopid... and unlikely. that said, freeze eggs will preserve indefinite. can't freeze in shell though if you wanna preserve. crack eggs into freezer safe container then keep for a year... which might be relevant if we were facing food shortages. 'course even in italy, where pandemic situation is far worse, is no food shortages. following initial wave o' panic buying, italians, who is now under lockdown, have no difficulty finding tp and rice on shelves at stores. is unlikely we face a US egg shortage in foreseeable future and if we do, is gonna be for some reason not direct attributable to covid-19. really wanna preserve eggs, then crack and freeze... but why? from a recent business insider article: "It's also possible we are biologically programmed to hoard. Birds, squirrels, and other animals tend to hoard stuff. "There are a number of ways to handle shortages, including those caused by hoarding. "The best way is to convince people to stop doing it, especially with plentiful products like toilet paper. However, logic often fails when dealing with emotional issues." am getting that some folks can't help but channel their inner t!tmouse in times o' crisis, but one would hope we had evolved a bit more. shop to avoid needing to shop more frequent than otherwise necessary, but shop in anticipation o' shortages or 'cause o' primitive hoarding instincts is less than helpful. and for those who don't trust the liberal media, even the washington examiner, sorta a step removed from breitbart, has recognized the disconnect 'tween trump and his medical experts. Fauci and Trump struggle to stay on same page about possible coronavirus treatment HA! Good Fun!

thanks to our self-awareness, the nightmare scenario o' a Gromnir moderator o' these boards has been avoided. would that a few other individuals had indulged in similar self-reflection before taking on the responsibility. HA! Good Fun!

am not giving recent washington post efforts a break, but we will observe how the 2.2 million number were specific referenced in the linked article: "If no action to limit the viral spread were taken, as many as 2.2 million people in the United States could die over the course of the pandemic, according to epidemiologist Neil Ferguson and others at the Imperial College Covid-19 Response Team." do nothing = 2.2million... plus admitted non specific and undetermined deaths from overwhelmed health systems with insufficient surge capacities. efforts has already been taken, so 2.2 is no longer a relevant number. that said, insufficient surge is a given in the US. have mentioned previous how 90% o' us hospitals nationwide were already at or beyond capacity before the covid-19 outbreak. nothing were done at the fed level until last two weeks to begin addressing surge problems. the reason current efforts is so focused on flattening the curve is precise 'cause o' the recognition many will die for no other reason that they is left in hospital hallways to expire as triage decisions force doctors to repeated make life-death calls for people who could be saved if resources existed to meet the need. and again, the need were becoming quick apparent in january, if not earlier. am not defending washington post, but if headline were 2.2 million worst case scenario, there would be justifiable pushback recognizing how that number from the report were result on zero mitigation. that said, we agree (am gonna assume we agree) there needs to be more emphasis placed on education o' the charlie fox we face regarding surge capacity. example: there are no extra ventilators. ny state assumes it will need an additional 30,000. US stockpiles is 12k total. response to situation: President announces at presser he signed order which gives him authority to direct manufacturing sector to start producing necessities, then he tweets next day he is holding such authority until it is needed. were needed back in january 2020. woulda' made a huge difference in january. in march 2020 is no less necessary, but have gotta accept how many walking, talking, breathing americans is already dead and they just don't know it yet. will be deaths due to insufficient resources including insufficient hospital beds and insufficient healthy doctors/nurses. failure to take obvious actions to keep the number o' deaths due to failed surge as low as possible is, understatement of the year, disappointing. HA! Good Fun!

am old. hurl mentions his child and zoom. so 'course first thing we think o' is so much for the future. we can't even shrug off the 70s. HA! Good Fun!

kinda off-topic, so will just mention how our atypical posting style has us mention a poster by name frequent. is not unusual. just a couple examples. regardless, it is amusing how some will indulge in worst kinda deflection. issue were a poster claiming indifference to the murder o' not just a particular rando reporter, but reporters in general. he then got angry when it were suggested he were indifferent to reporter murder. confronted with actual words in which he expressed indifference to reporter murder (example o' creep we s'pose) the poster lost water and created the signature worthy self one-upmanship statement o' being indifferent to almost any murder save those affecting him and his. what? 'course the real issue is perceived creep. deflection. conspiracy. sense o' victimization. lack o' basic empathy. etc. ideal choice for moderator. more relevant, dr. fauci has been noticeable absent at daily pressers. Why Hasn’t Tony Fauci Been at the Coronavirus Press Conferences? am recognizing the hypocrisy o' calling out posters for conspiracy theories and then linking a slate article, so am qualifying by saying we ain't suggesting anything in the article is true save for reporting o' dr. fauci absence, which were noticeable to us but doesn't appear to have been reported elsewheres. HA! Good Fun!

repeat "yeah, try and keep self supplied with basics and buy more than normal 'cause you wanna minimize trips to stores anyway, but the hoarding is so comical stoopid at this point." is only our most frequent post comment. can go back and see multiple instances where am suggesting is a good idea to stock up on basic needs. stores is not repeated stripped clean o' frozen vegetables, rice and toilet paper (to name but a few items) 'cause folks is buying enough to avoid going shopping more frequent than once every 2-3 weeks. need only read posts from a few resident boardie chuckleheads to see behaviours much different than simple a minimization o' near future shopping trips as explanation for their sudden altered grocery purchases. is always a point at which reasonable behaviour, taken to an extreme, becomes unreasonable. fact it is impossible to pinpoint the exact point where reasonable becomes stoopid and selfish does not change recognition that more than a few, in the name o' me and mine, have crossed beyond any arguable fuzzy border and is fully wallowing in the unreasonable and harmful range o' the spectrum. HA! Good Fun!

courts disagree with you. sure, were an international court in hague, but us and iran had agreed to arbitration. is no suggestion iran commited fraud-- us were aware o' what they were getting and what they were giving. however, K is voidable (not necessarily void) if there is defect or imbalance which prevents basics o' K: offer, acceptance, consideration. lopsided in and of itself is not a defect. dorris may sell her ex-husband's 1966 mustang to peter for $1. is not a bad K 'cause it is so lopsided. if a contract is made with a minor, the minor (or guardian) may void the K. if doug makes a K with paul for sale of doug's 1966 mustang, paul may have K voided if paul were drunk at time the K were formed. etc. am thinking is high improbability o' showing a K 'tween the US + EU and iran had US at a fundamental power disadvantage as to make K voidable is. not that we are talking K law anyways. HA! Good Fun!

why? sure, insult may have been directed at you (and others), but you need always consider sources, yes? am personal reassured when we see who it is who most frequent insults Gromnir. reddit cellar dwellers and conspiracy theory nutters. misogynistic and racist dopplegangers? insults from such quarters is reassuring rather than discouraging. hoarding tp and meat at start o' what is gonna be a +12 month situation is asinine and only serves to force those most vulnerable to leave their homes more frequent, 'gainst dr. advice, to acquire their basic needs. there is no food shortage or paper product shortage at this time. supply chains is temp overrun by the monolithic stoopid hoarding instincts o' too many. yeah, try and keep self supplied with basics and buy more than normal 'cause you wanna minimize trips to stores anyway, but the hoarding is so comical stoopid at this point. pretending as if only a select few has ever needed take care o' family as excuse for selfishness and ignorance is arguable sociopathic. etc. *shrug* me and mine. conspiracy. crippling polarization. regardless, always consider sources, 'cause insults may be compliments in disguise. HA! Good Fun!

1) the billions was iran's money being returned to them. 2) iran stopped pursuing their nuke weapons development. sure, iran giving up development o' nukes weren't a huge sacrifice when it were so easy to quick restart such at anytime, but there weren't a way to stop iran regardless. get iran to voluntarily give up their development were deemed significant enough legitimize the return to iran o' their money. again, am not defending the original deal, but iran were adhering to the deal and the billions they received were their own money which decades past were seized in banks 'cross the globe. HA! Good Fun!
-
am agreeing the iran deal should not have been ended by the current admin. we weren't in favor o' the iran deal. understatement. however, there were every indication that iran were actual following the deal. absolutely nobody were claiming that iran were trying to game the system by sneaky developing nukes while the deal were in place, and is not as if nations weren't looking for such evidence. not a good deal, but it were a deal and it were being adhered to by all parties concerned. as much as we didn't like the deal when it were penned and signed, we were even less in favor o' breaking. US broke. done. sanctions imposed. past tense. nevertheless, given realities o' 2020, am favoring easing o' sanctions. HA! Good Fun!
-
good luck. take care of your family. take care of yourself. take care.

gonna state an opinion unrelated to anything current being discussed in the thread: US sanctions on iran should be eased during the covid-19 crisis. can reimplement anytime in future, but for the moment am believing this is a right thing to do situation. sure, sanctions is even more effective now than they were before current health crisis in iran, but not only is there a moral component to consider in maintaining sanctions at this time, but have observed previous how the aphorism 'bout power corrupting is more valid when inverted: power corrupts. powerlessness corrupts absolutely. am not actual suggesting situation is so bad that iran is being pushed to the point they can do the unthinkable. nevertheless, wouldn't take much for iran problems to spin outta control too fast for there to be meaningful opportunities to react. and again, more important, am thinking given the nature o' the current crisis (a pandemic) there is a choice which is right. am not so naive to believe lessening sanctions decreases iranian terror efforts now or in the future. am not saying lessen sanctions buys the US future good will. the us-iran relationship is functional unfixable particular as long as is such a strong non-secular component to the divisions. am recognizing how many will see lessening o' sanctions as little more than an opportunity for iran to direct more money into military and terror efforts directed at the US. probably right. again, am suggesting a temp easing o' US sanctions on iran. would be the right thing to do. HA! Good Fun!

like too many other current social issues, people chose sides on coronavirus, not that there ever were sides. if an issue becomes binary, then there will be predictable polarization which leads to the predictable echo box and groupthink culture we has seen develop beyond our expectations this past decade. once people choose a side, then it becomes near impossible to move 'em. again, covid-19 is not a sides kinda thing. regarding the current pandemic, there were a paucity o' information which initially made multiple outcomes plausible. given the severity o' too many o' those outcomes, our opinion back in january was that it made sense to prepare for worst case scenarios even if we hoped for best... but we are so past that point. nevertheless, we are faced with endemic me and mine selfishness o' 2020 peoples as well as the near impossibility o' moving individuals from one side to another, even if the sides were never real. we won't see people buy into and embrace the need for social distancing until they abandon their emotional attachment to a side and recognize how selfishness does more to hurt us all as 'posed to genuine helping me and mine. this is not an apocalypse kinda moment, least not the 90-minute movie or sf novel apocalypse norm. assume 1% death rate directly attributed to disease and then add a couple more % points if worst-case scenario health care surge measures fail. even worst-case, is not the pockyclypse kinda situation which has us embracing "shiny and chrome." faced with a serious situation, people should try to stay calm. panic is self destructive and all too often people in high pressure situations behave in a manner which is jaw-dropping foolish. however, there needs also be a recognition that short o' panic inducing drama, am uncertain people will abandon sides. listen to fauci and look at italy triage situation and nevertheless remain unconvinced there is anything to see here? wtf? so need to get past this sides culture which spread less quick than covid-19, but may end up being more lethal. HA! Good Fun!

another repeat https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/heartbreaking-video-shows-coronavirus-devastating-toll-on-italy/ we are finding out daily how the transmissibility o' the pathogen is higher than original believed. china resorted to draconian measures to keep their numbers as low as they are, and is every reason to believe the chinese could be downplaying how bad their covid-19 outbreak has been. chinese also were initial doing the chill thing-- went so far as criminalizing those individuals who were warning their fellow citizens o' a potential disease problem in wuhan. etc. gd were wondering recent why we cannot have nice things? answered. HA! Good Fun!

usa were so lucky to have forewarning o' the coronavirus. china made worse by hiding, but were still a huge advantage this disease started elsewhere. we first became aware o' the pandemic potential in later 2019 and we knew by late january 2020. lucky. too bad we #@%$ed it up, eh? so much time wasted. only now is personnel and equipment being mobilized responsibly... at least more responsible. so, enjoy the flowers. HA! Good Fun! ps would be so ez to dismiss as yet another example o' floridaman ignorance, but sf folks, living under new shelter in place restrictions, ain't doing much better. ... people in china and italy must look at such images with shock.

in the most bass akwards and krazy twist, am confronting reality that best case scenario results in trump being re-elected. we don't want another four years o' trump. is hard to imagine a worse President. no remaining viable candidate could be worse than trump. however... at the moment a majority o' republicans, based on recent polling, are not worried 'bout covid-19. such will not be the case if we get a trajectory similar to italy insofar as infections and deaths is concerned. only takes a few % point loss o' the otherwise ironclad obtuse base to doom a trump reelection. deaths in large numbers and/or months o' quasi-lockdown following the market nightmares is gonna eventual take its toll, even if toll is only a few points. am not wanting italy situation. vaccine is, at best, 'bout a year away, which means if even after a summer respite, the virus will likely be back in september/october and will be in full swing by november. the uk study we linked earlier with +1 million deaths were not worst case scenario. we checked and +2 million were worst case scenario. best case scenario requires an almost complete lock down o' everything for the next year. not next two weeks or months. to prevent an explosion o' cases until a viable vaccine is developed and has widespread distribution, study suggests best case requires near total lockdown for a year. year... earliest. but... quasi-miracle happens and spring followed by an early summer arrives this year and covid-19 proves just as weak to heat and humidity as is flu. vaccine gets sooper fast development, production and dissemination beyond any expectations. prayer ends up working. etc. so, we all get very lucky and covid-19 patients do not overwhelm medical facilities for months with patients dying in hospital hallways as they is triaged with brutal but necessary efficiency. such a best case eventuality is the one for which we should all hope. anybody doubt such a result convinces republicans and independents that trump were right (or right enough) all along and they vote him in for another four years in november? am not hoping for a continued trump Presidency. nevertheless, am genuine praying we get a situation which makes another four year o' trump inevitable. #$%& HA! Good Fun!

our complaints 'bout obama stimulus is old and well trod. is not that we were 'gainst government spending during a time o' most recent major recession, but rather that the money were so poorly spent. coulda' boosted economy much more effective with infrastructure investment... but again, is an old argument and not worth revisiting yet again. am recognizing how doomed is handing $1000 to millennials and others, but we do not know o' a better solution at this time. the thing is, with social distancing being so important, is not as if grand new infrastructure programs is gonna be possible. likewise, is worst possible time to be developing and implementing government programs to help educate people on a bit o' fiscal responsibility. social security offices recently closed, w/o warning, and they just ain't equipped to telework on any scale. am suspecting most government agencies is similar under prepared. is gonna be less chance for govt to interact with people so cannot plan programs which require more communication. many secondary issues. am suspecting $1000 wouldn't even come close to getting many Americans flush. for the multitudes who is 'bout to lose their jobs, too many who are not full-time employees and as such won't be getting unemployment, $1000 is a laughable 'mount. all those fraudulent unemployment numbers is gonna become much more transparent in the near future. and for millenials, stimulus is an opportunity to upgrade their game console or purchase a better tv. etc. but again, as much as am dubious 'bout efficacy o' stimulus such as envisioned, given the situation we don't have a better idea for getting money direct to those who need something to get through the next month(s). sucks. no other way to frame it. sucks when a terrible idea might nevertheless be the best idea. HA! Good Fun!

US, UK coronavirus strategies shifted following UK epidemiologists' ominous report For the study, researchers used a simulation model that was originally developed to support pandemic flu planning and modified it to examine the impact of certain scenarios for the coronavirus pandemic. Their models show that under a mitigation strategy: "even if all patients were able to be treated, we predict there would still be in the order of 250,000 deaths in GB, and 1.1-1.2 million in the US." It was not immediately clear what length of time researchers assumed to be the full course of the pandemic. The study concludes that the suppression strategy will likely lead to the disease quickly spreading again once these measures are lifted, and that such measures will be needed periodically until a vaccine is found. It says: "The major challenge of suppression is that this type of intensive intervention package -- or something equivalently effective at reducing transmission -- will need to be maintained until a vaccine becomes available (potentially 18 months or more) -- given that we predict that transmission will quickly rebound if interventions are relaxed." ... one hopes these is worst case scenarios

'course you mean it sounds similar to the chinese/hong kong response? we see emoticon, but we hope this ain't a crude attempt to compare to yang's $1000 per month. a stimulus check is not at all similar ubi. obama did stimulus. stimulus is not new. yang's ubi is not similar save amount o' the check... but 1/12th. now alaska has something similar to ubi, and that ain't changing fact they is gonna get additional stimulus. @Guard Dog y'know, if any other republican frontrunner from 2016 had been elected instead o' trump, he/she would be able to use this crisis to validate the inevitable downsizing and belt tightening which woulda' occurred during the past three years. for decades, republicans, pre trump, has been kinda united in efforts to reduce fed spending. a guy such as jeb bush or even ted cruz would be able to point to efforts to reduce debt as being perspicacious given the need to raise huge amounts o' money during a time o' genuine crisis. if republicans had showed a bit o' backbone and resisted trump worst urges regarding debt, we coulda' been in a much better position to absorb a new crisis. unfortunate we got obama debt plus trump debt and now are gonna add necessary coronavirus debt all in a relative short space o' time. is a bill which needs be paid by somebody, and somebody is you and Gromnir and other americans, regardless o' party affiliation. HA! Good Fun!

the hoarders are a bane. have been trying to shop for our neighbors. we live in a gated community where folks tend towards older. next door neighbor is a cancer survivor in her late seventies who cares for her husband who has alzheimer's. two doors down from us is a woman current going through cancer and her husband who suffers from chf. etc. is 'bout four people we offered to do shopping for them if we were already shopping for self... which has morphed into Gromnir going to store for toothpaste or a single bunch o' parsley just so we have an excuse to do shopping for ___________. this am we went to store with an extreme reasonable list for neighbor folks, save for fact they added tp to list and we forewarned her that such would be highly unlikely. mayonnaise, dozen eggs, 4 avocados, 5lb bag potatoes, frozen peas, frozen corn, and a gallon o' 2% milk. were able to get half gallon o' milk, avocados and a couple cans o' corn in water, which we made a career move regarding and decided to purchase in lieu o' frozen as there were nothing available in the freezer section o' the local store save for ice cream and a few other specialty items . we would mention how the hoarders are most hurting the folks at greatest danger from the virus as is the old and folks with med conditions who cannot run all over town to find food and supplies who is suffering, but am knowing am up against the indifferent to almost anything as long as it doesn't affect me or mine mentality. HA! Good Fun!

have never played star trek: on line, but we have played too many bad star trek games. we kinda liked star trek: starfleet command, but in our experience that title is more notable as an exception than rule for decent star trek pc games, and am recognizing many folks didn't like starfleet command near as much as we did. whatever else, we don't need another bad or forgettable star trek game. has been too many less than stellar star trek titles... which is unfair to the star trek fans who deserve better. +90% o' the time we would prefer a new ip as 'posed to a title which might require a license. am typical more interested in the developer o' a game than the setting or the license o' a new title anyways. that said, is a few unique novels, movies, tv shows, old crpgs and pnp rules systems which we s'pose is deserving o' consideration as inspiration for development o' a new crpg, but our list o' such is gonna be most frequent populated by obscure properties in large part precise 'cause they is obscure. fans is, all too often, annoying baggage which adheres to a license. developer/publisher need meet the unreasonable, fluid and elusive fan expectations. unnecessary burden on a developer. regardless, we would be okie dokie with a good star trek rpg. HA! Good Fun!

am not gonna reexamine our personal criticisms o' deadfire, particularly as we enjoyed deadfire in spite o' those numerous criticisms. however, we will make two quick (brevity is a perpetual elusive goal) observations: 1) deadfire "exploration" were a predictable developer reaction to poe fan criticism. am unable to recollect all the games wherein developers attempted to find some kinda perfect exploration balance. sad reality is developer attempts is near always met with a significant % fan disappointment. sequels is particular targets o' developer efforts to find the ideal mix o' dense locales and opportunities for exploration. sequels which alter the scheme as a response to fan feedback is illustrative as such makes clear just how doomed is developer improvement... and so were the case with deadfire. poe, so we learned from poe feedback, didn't have enough exploration. *sigh* deadfire actual did a goodly job with all those rando mini-encounters spread 'cross the world map. unlike bg1, which had us need overcome near identical encounters ad nauseum, deadfire developers took significant pains to vary those brief world map encounters. each poe2 world map encounter offered a slight different challenge-- quite an achievement considering just how many o' those there were. 'course chances are it didn't matter if challenges were different when players could find an ideal party scheme and set o' tactics with which to overcome 90% o' all encounters. still, deadfire did a much better job o' varying than bg1 and morrowind/oblivion and other sandboxie games which sell exploration. regardless o' efforts and achievements, deadfire exploration were, predictable, criticized by fans. at least as many people were bothered by deadfire solution to poe lack o' exploration. net gain o' 0... at best. exploration is a no-win battle for developers and attempting to add encounters or features to inflate sense o' exploration is wasted blood sweat and tears. 2) the gods y'know, am believing this is gonna be a contrary opinion, but for us, full vo hurt the deadfire gawd stuff. yeah, the gawd confabs were exposition heavy and the info drops were frustrating for the seeming obvious questions you could not ask the gawds, but has been other games with as much ham-fisted narration which did not much bother us. vo made deadfire gawds worse. any other game we woulda' read through the gawd dialogues in seconds and gotten back to killing and 1007ting and faction choices and saving villages, or whatever. however, 'cause deadfire were full vo we actually listened to the gawd's smack. particular during our first run o' deadfire, a few o' the more tedious narrative interruptions no doubt felt much longer than they appeared to be when viewed from the pov o' the game script. am knowing people were general much in favor o' the deadfire full vo even if they didn't approve o' the cost o' vo. contrary pov is deadfire didn't improve our game experience at all and may have hurt 'cause were a personal tendency to listen to the more tedious deadfire dialogue exchanges as 'posed to giving 'em a quick read and click inspection. ... so, maybe not quick observations after all? nevertheless quick for Gromnir. baby steps. HA! Good Fun! ps we did like erik the viking approach to communion with the gods. skip to ~8:30. apologies for poor quality, but is a not particular popular movie, and is a 1989 release, so not many clips from which to choose.

How Did the NBA Push Through 58 Coronavirus Tests When Almost No One Else Can Get Them? aoc deserves her punching bag status in many/most circumstances. folks over on fox love to point out how ridiculous is progressive liberals in general by highlighting aoc blunders. currently the talking heads at fox is blasting the n00b member o' Congress by highlighting her claims that rich folks is getting preferential covid-19 testing. point out aoc has no evidence to support her claims. recognition o' fact multiple nba teams has now tested all their players in spite o' paucity o' available tests may not be proof but is indeed evidence in support o' aoc position. HA! Good Fun!
