I was expecting this
Dude, I’m not THAT old.
If you need(ed) a lung transplant, by definition you’re not perfectly healthy.
People just say things.
The dipshittery will continue until the morale improves.
Unless I am missing something, those are Tonio’s words and not an actual headline?
Maybe they didn’t “need” a lung transplant, so much as “wanted”?
I doubt that anyone would “want” a lung transplant. Unless we are talking about someone who “needs” a brain transplant.
I was told there would be no kink shaming.
I think I can safely say that I don’t need a liver transplant, but after the last 18 months, I kind of want one.
I diverted my 401k contributions towards liver research earlier this year. I’m going to need that more, at this rate.
Did they already receive the lungs or were they waiting? Either way, none of them have ever died before.
How are the unvaccinated responsible to the death of two failed lung transplant recipients? Do people even listen to themselves?
Fuck it. People just say things. I’m ALWAYS grumpier at 4pm than at 8am. I think I hate my job and spend too much time on Twitter to compensate.
He’s a fucking lung doctor. A guy who sees bad lungs every day and that’s all he thinks about. He is a textbook example of Goldratt’s overoptimization problem. He can only see what COVID does to the lungs and seeks to perfect that particular part of the process to the expense of everything else.
I’ve been stuck here unable to work for the past four hours because my company decided to push an overnight change to the middle of the day and kill all of our connections.
“Fully vaccinated woman’s family blames unvaccinated Americans for her death in scathing obituary: ‘She was infected by other who chose not to be. The cost was her life’
Her son Marc believes that his mother contracted the virus in July after she and his father went to visit a friend, whose husband died of COVID-19, in Mississippi, where the vaccination rate is only 42%, according to the state’s health website.
It is incredibly rare for fully vaccinated Americans to contract a severe breakthrough case of COVID-19 and to die from the disease – and those who have had the shot have less than one in 13,000 chance of a severe breakthrough infection, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of data from the CDC.
More than 99 percent of COVID hospitalizations and deaths in the US since January 2021 have occurred in unvaccinated people.
But of the patients with breakthrough infections who do require hospital care, they are likely to be older or to suffer from three or more underlying medical conditions, such as obesity, gastrointestinal diseases and neurological conditions.
It’s not clear if Ayers had any of those underlying health conditions, but her son said that family were concerned for his mother’s health ahead of her trip to Mississippi because she had severe rheumatoid arthritis – where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9997799/Family-blames-unvaccinated-death-fully-vaccinated-Illinois-woman-obituary.html
Marc can shove it up his ass.
I see you have no problem reposting an obviously misleading number that “99 percent of COVID hospitalizations and deaths in the US since January 2021 have occurred in unvaccinated people.” While yesterday you couldn’t stop attacking my estimate of COVID deaths among vaccinated.
I see you also know how to use quotation marks.
those who have had the shot have less than one in 13,000 chance of a severe breakthrough infection
And yet people win the lottery.
What are the odds without a shot? Cause I am guessing it isn’t significantly different.
Well, 1 in 13,000 is a 0.008% chance, and if you take total COVID deaths (or more specifically “deaths with COVID”) divided by total US population you get a 0.2% chance, so I’m guessing if the 1 in 13,000 number is correct then the odds are orders of magnitude better with a shot than without one (caveat that this would obviously vary wildly if broken down into age and health categories).
That number has been so tortured by people with agendas that there is absolutely no way anyone knows the truth.
?
I think I hate my job and spend too much time on Twitter to compensate.
Unless you stick exclusively to the humor or wholesome side of Twitter, I can’t see how spending time on Twitter is going to do anything to help you not be grumpy. It’s kind of a cesspool.

Perfectly Healthy Lung Transplant Patients
Wut?
Snark aside, recipients of lung transplants are at the top of the list of folks who should self-quarantine when a nasty respiratory virus is circulating. And in a sane world they would be receiving prophylactic treatment (not the STEVE SMITH kind). But such treatments are verboten, unless you are as healthy as a horse.

What you did there was noticed, and appreciated.
Sorry, Tonio, but referring back to the previous thread…
I went to the bank to withdraw some cash, under $10,000 as that seems to be the no-questions-asked limit. However, the teller did ask me to tell her “a little bit about” what I needed the money for. “Anything I want.” She said she needed to know because they had limited cash and must qualify my reason before they could give it out. “Can you tell me what would be an acceptable-to-you reason for withdrawing this amount?” She wouldn’t say, but agreed to give me a partial amount and told me I could come back tomorrow for the rest.
Hmmm….
Things that make me go hmmm
Well that’s totally reassuring on so many levels.
” give me a partial amount and told me I could come back tomorrow for the rest”
And then they’ll arrest you for structuring.
Good times.
Already screwed by trying to withdraw under the limit.
My first thought too.
Mind you in the dark ages when I was a floating teller we didn’t have that much cash in the drawer. So we’d need notice to get you the cash, but if it was under $10k we didn’t ask why you needed it.
I can corroborate this, as this was the same policy in place when I worked as a bank teller several years ago. The bank only kept something like $300K on hand (it was a small branch location of a larger chain), so if you wanted large amounts of cash you had to reserve it ahead of time so that they could get the cash from the central location and not worry about running out during day to day business. Depending on the day and time the spontaneous withdrawal limit could be as high as $8K or as low as $3K, but we never asked what it was for unless it was required for the government reports (which kick in at $10K, a number we never allowed to withdraw without reservation).
Yeah, I’m not feeling good about any of this. I’m already in the red state of Tennessee, but a Florida move is looking better and better. I might switch banks if there’s a Florida-specific one.
I think my ATM limit is $2k/day. It’s not structuring if I take out the limit 5 days straight, right? Right?
*narrator* it’s structuring if they want it to be
“Hookers and blow. Inflation really has been a bitch.”
Never tell them the truth.
Hunter’s coming to town and he expects me to hire the help.

The bennies of being a celebrity!
What did the FBI agent trying to entrap you tell you to say to the teller?
“Definitely not guns and explosives!”
Are you perhaps an older person? Could they be using the pretext that they’re afraid you’re being scammed?
Forgot about that. That’s a new reg / law.
I know a lot of old people, they’ve already been scammed by SocSec.
Winner
I’m not, but she did mention that another reason they don’t like to give out that much money is they fear for their customers’ safety. “I’ll be ok.”
“That’s why I’m carrying this gun”
Did you mention that you would be o.k. because you have a gun?
Oh lord, it was struggle enough not to lose my cool for fear of a tangle with some armed enforcer! Words are now violence, or so I’ve read.
Good point, hopefully they are just watching out for you. But my magic 8 ball says otherwise.
I would like to withdraw $10,000.
Why are you withdrawing that amount?
I only need $9,000, but don’t want to be charged with structuring.
That sucks; apparently it isn’t really *your* money. Coincidentally, I watched the first installment of “Ozark” on Netflix last night. The scene where Jason Bateman attempts to get $8MM in cash to pay off the cartel came to mind as I was reading this.
Good show, but not one that will lower my stress level.

The Elizabeth Holmes Trial Is a Wake-Up Call for Sexism in Tech
Because men who commit fraud are never prosecuted.
Steaming piles of horseshit are steaming.
It is not 1950 any more – every company in the US with more than a dozen people is tripping over themselves to promote as many women (and minorities) as they can.
We’re at the point in my department where we can’t hire women fast enough to replace the women to take off for better gigs. In the past 5 years, we’ve lost 6 women and 4 men out of a department that hasn’t been any less than 75% men at any time. We’re struggling to both enforce our diversity requirements on our vendors and avoid having our vendors and competitors poach our female talent.
I’ve worked lab industry 15 years. Everyone – male and female, knew she was a fraud.
So did my wife. She was a specialist on controls.
She probably wouldn’t have gotten as far as she did, luring in all those big names, if she wasn’t a woman. That just shows the sexism inherent in the system.
She absolutely garnered far more interest and support than a dude would have in the same position.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing medical devices is no basis for a system of business. You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a blood-test at you!

“New Zealand will BAN Australia’s new nuclear-powered submarines from its waters, says Jacinda Ardern minutes after alliance with US and Britain is announced
‘New Zealand’s position in relation to the prohibition of nuclear powered vessels in our waters remains unchanged,’ she said just minutes after the announcement.
‘The centrepiece of it is nuclear powered submarines and all parties are very well versed in understanding our position on nuclear powered vessels and weapons.’
‘They couldn’t come into our internal waters… our legislation says no vessel wholly or fully powered by nuclear energy can enter our internal waters.’ ‘That is a position held across parties for a long period of time.’ Ms Ardern insisted New Zealand had no interest in being part of the new ‘AUKUS’ triumvirate and saw it as less important than the ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence sharing arrangement, which was formed in 1941. ‘[AUKUS] isn’t at the level of existing partnership with UK, Canada, the US, Australia and Canada,’ she claimed. Ardern said she was informed about Australia’s partnership with the US and Britain at the same time as Scott Morrison’s cabinet, but wasn’t invited. ‘No we weren’t approached, nor would I expect us to be,’ Ardern said.”

So they don’t allow bananas in New Zealand?
Yeah, I remember this being a mild controversy in the late 80s or early 90s because they wouldn’t let some US Navy ships dock there.
‘[AUKUS] isn’t at the level of existing partnership with UK, Canada, the US, Australia and Canada,’ she claimed.

Love the bear video!
Hate just bout everything else.
It’s amazing how confidently the bear opened the door.
That bear is smarter than the average congresscritter.
A chick I know had her car destroyed by a couple bears. Same thing – opened the door climbed inside (for the food the dummy left in there), wrecked the interior and shit everywhere.
Kinda like San Fran junkies, actually.
Given the design of the garbage cans at Acadia National Park, bears must be incredibly dexterous.
(you have to slide your hand in a little slot in order to disengage the latch on the lid).
Yeah, those are common in all the parks with bears.
We went to Acadia last year. What an incredibly beautiful place!
We spent a week in Acadia about 25 years ago, before we had kids. Highly recommended.
We booked late, so we were pretty far from the park (~ 45m) but still went a couple days.
We were told by others who went this year that the park was absolutely jam-packed, so we avoided the main spots.
The hike up Acadia Mountain on the Mt. Desert side of the park was spectacular. Dog handled scrambling up the rock faces with aplomb.
We were lucky, since we went in the midst of ‘Vid hysteria, so the crowds were minimal. My wife found us a fabulous cabin on the west side of Somes Sound (the only fjord in the US, by the way). I’m pining as I write about it!
I will go back there. Getting up every morning before the rest of the fam, having coffee while the lobster boats chug by. Magic.
Glad you enjoyed your trip and that the puppy kicked ass!

About 45 minutes from the park, 20 minutes to Ellsworth & 20 minutes to Blue Hill.
Guest house on a 52 acre estate; big house is just a few hundred yards away but the guest house was fantastic.
Met the owner on the last day – retired hand surgeon, it’s just his summer place. Hand surgeons make bank, apparently.
Oh, and apparently it’s a fjard, not a fjord.
Also, apparently ‘fjard’ is a real word.
That’s beautiful!
Here’s the one we stayed at.
I think we were the first ones to stay at it. The owners lived next door and were wonderful people. My son met a bunch of kids from Texas and they had a blast fishing from the docks and drinking beer. Great vacation!
That looks sweet – bookmarked for next year.
This is where we stayed in 2019:

We rented that whole 3-unit cottage on the right side (we went with friends). It was a nice place to stay; Hinckley Yachts is right across the street, if you like looking at boats you can’t afford.
Kinda like San Fran junkies, actually.
My first inclination is that I’d rather have the bears, but I’d probably get less grief for shooting the junkies if I caught them in the act.
Bear be like, “Damn woman. Calm down. I don’t want that pumpkin spiced latte in the drink holder anyway. Besides, you’re the one who wanted to live in the woods.”

The only surprise is that the SUV was not a Subaru. Bears love Subarus.
I thought that was lesbians.
Why would bears love lesbians? They have no overlapping interests.

Teachers don’t believe they work for the parents anymore.
And in reality, they’re correct.
They never did. They work for the government.
Kind of like its not “taxpayer money” the government spends. Its government money, some of which they took from taxpayers. But once they take, its not the taxpayer’s money any more.

Somewhat local to me, apparently the book is kick off ideas for stories. That part isn’t so bad, but it appears that the teachers read about it in a recommendation (for college age kids), and didn’t spend the time to read the book themselves.
For the record, yeah, they should probably be fired. I was surprised the Daily Mail wasn’t talking about us Nazis here in Ohio.
It would be a weird assignment for college kids too.
Agreed.
I’m told that banging students is frowned upon by most colleges these days. I always assumed that was part of the attracting to teaching at that level.

AND HALF OF THE CHILDREN DROWNED IN THE ICY WATERS
Looking at the linked wiki page, I’m struck by what a terrible job they did saving the children despite the “Women and children first” call. Only 51% of children saved, versus 74% of women, despite women outnumbering children almost 4 to 1. Sure, most of that is due to the third class children getting the short end of the stick, but even third class managed to save more women than children. Props to the second class men for being the most chivalrous of the bunch though.
Also, I’m kind of surprised that crew made up 40% of total people on board. I’m sure that number is inflated by all the servant roles required by a luxury liner, but it still strikes me how inefficient a means of transport that would be.
Children more prone to hypothermia, perhaps?
Children more prone to hypothermia, perhaps?
They are. Surface (skin) area to body mass ratio is much higher in children than adults, so they lose (or gain) thermal energy more quickly.
The things you learn living near beaches by the North Pacific.
No doubt once they hit the water they had much lower chance of survival than the adults, but reading a bit further it looks like only 13 people were pulled from the water, so the vast majority saved were saved by directly boarding the lifeboats, which had many more seats available than were filled. So the bottom line is that they did a piss-poor job of prioritizing getting children into the lifeboats.
Kids probably don’t have as much body fat to protect them from hypothermia.
It was operated by coal remember. Those stokers would have also taken quite a bit of manpower.
True. I guess it’s the same situation across a lot of technologies, that it just used to take way more manpower to do just about everything.
Wow, following a link rabbit hole it appears that the dogs on the Titanic had a better survival rate than all the men except the first class men. Crazy.
I would also expect that some of the older male children fell into, or considered themselves part of, the “men” rather than the “women and children”.

Man, I’d love to have a conversation with that guy. Really, not a euphemism for a dark alley. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a fucking clue about the literature around mask wearing, it would be fun to try to educate him.
There would be no conversation with people like this. If he’s already made the decision to follow women around harassing them, he’s past any sort of conversation changing his mind.
Yes, I’ve no illusion that I’d change his mind. But I’d want to visit a bit of intellectual violence on him.

That makes me very smart too.” I get a somewhat unhealthy pleasure from putting them in a corner. If I can…
“get a somewhat unhealthy pleasure from putting them in a corner. If I can…”
Generally, you can’t. I work with someone who acts like this (not on covid). They move the goal-posts, say, “what about this,” and, as a last resort if you back them into a corner with objective facts, he calls me (& others a liar). Not worth wasting my breath on.
He’s thinking the same thing.

Private company bro, if they want to sell information to law enforcement agencies that are clearly going around the fourth amendment that’s their business (and yes, the agencies need to be seriously slapped down on this too).

Right. I can’t speak to, agree with, even look at someone from a particular political party. Ppl aren’t human any more. If you’re black & a Democrat tells u to shove marbles up ur ass, you simply have to. If another party tells u to look out for that bus, stand there & get hit

Good on her, some sense in all the stupidity,
That guy’s smarmy comment drives me nuts. “Judge not…”
I mean who the Hell says “You know he’s a white supremacist, right?”
A depressing number of people.
People being taught that anyone right of them is a ‘white supremacist’

Drugs, marbles, whatever.
KK, did you see this bananas climb by an MD-80?
That was similar to a performance climb the military use out of a warzone
Similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYbM-3E11Qo
Albeit with a much bigger plane – impressive. TBF, that’s also a brand new plane with huge engines vs. a decades old MD-80 airframe.
Damn cool!
Not as extreme, but John Wayne Airport uses a steep noise-abatement takeoff. They do a steeper than normal takeoff to gain altitude then power back to reduce noise over the richies of Newport Beach.

JANAT takes off on the MCCRRN5 route which is only used by them and is impressive to watch as they take off out of Vegas to Groom Lake.
ALL RIGHT!
I can’t explain what a relief this is, but I finally seem to have managed to virtualize my main home server. I’ve been thinking on and off about doing this for a few years, but kept putting it off.
Background: I operate my own server that acts as a mailserver, web server, and cloud storage for me and some members of my family. For years it has resided on a rickety old spare PC that I had. I was terrified that the machine was going to die at some point and it would be hard to rebuild, so I took steps to back it up, move most storage off of it onto a NAS with a RAID and automatic backups, but I was still concerned about it failing and not being able to get it running again quickly.
So I started researching virtualization and at the end of a very long road, I appear to have successfully transferred the entire machine to a VM living on a new-to-me Dell R620 server with 32 cores and 128GB of RAM, so I have plenty of capacity to spin up other machines along side it if I need or want to. I have some plans to run a few other servers for home automation, app serving, etc., and now I can do it.
The only things left to do are to build a new RAID array on the R620 to hold the VM data and physically install the server into my rack, but the hard part is OVER!
I hope.

Seriously, sounds good – When do we spin up GlibNet?

Did it recognize your comment and decide you were too cl
Good job! The Dell RAID config is very straight-forward.
What are you using for virtualization?
Don’t forget to configure the iDRAC to send you notification of events – nothing worse than some component silently failing for months at a time.
I’m using KVM. I know nothing about iDRAC but I’ll look into it. Thanks!
The iDRAC is a little computer (“baseboard management controller”) built into those server class machines – it’ll have it’s own ethernet port ,etc.
It provides remote console and monitoring of the hardware – you can power-cycle the machine, etc. all via a browser. You can configure it to e-mail you alerts.
I have noticed during the startup sequence right after the server configures the memory it says “Configuring iDRAC” and then “Done” but I haven’t taken the time to really figure out what it was. thanks for the info; I’ll try to set it up.
And you’re right–the RAID is super easy to set up. I have the hypervisor machine set up on its own RAID on the SAS disks that came with the machine, and I’m going to move the VM storage to a separate RAID on some SSDs.
You may also notice an extra client on your network. Mine has the same first four octets as the server’s NIC. I haven’t configured so it doesn’t get an IP address. It confused me at first until I figured out what it was.
I’ve been using KVM + QEMU for years. Should give you years of trouble free service.
Glad to hear it!
Rather than anything productive and useful, I started watching “Return to Blood Fart Lake.” Honestly I wish I had continued to work on other projects instead.

“Return to Return to Blood Fart Lake”
Yes, a real movie, and an actual sequel. Big no. Not even amusing.
About as amusing as the original subject matter. That’s the kind of thing that can repeat on you.
How much juice does that thing take?

Yeah, well I’m selling a new drug called Druggy McDrugfuck (pronounced “throatwobbler mangrove”).
Wait..they are going to call it SpikeVax….lol
I don’t think I want to get that one. They definitely need a new marketing team.
Comintern? BCBG Max Azria? wha?
So some thoughts…
Buy another trailer and do driveway cleaning, buy a 3d printer and create nonsense items and sell to ETSY users, expand the wife’s business (which means we have to hire someone) or…sex work.
You could also create nonsense items and sell through Shapeways to avoid owning the 3-D printer directly. Push the envelope!
But that would mean I don’t have an excuse to buy a 3d printer….just say’n
True. And those are Fine Things…
Any or all of the above? Circle as many as apply?
Whose sex work? I hear dominatrixing pays well and one doesn’t even have to get naked.
Buy the printer, claim the tax deduction in six months.
Do you know who isn’t having any more of the Covid panic bullshit?
