Well, still anecdote, but a compelling one. My guess it's the sudden blast of acetone fumes the second you walk into those places. And if that doesn't work, all the hairspray and hot air from blow dryers and gossip act as a secondary defense. I can't say I blame corona for avoiding hostile environments like that - gotta choose your battles wisely.

Jeeze dude, say it with some conviction!

The Trump Dump. (sorry, that was just an easy one. Been feeling more liberal lately - cheap and lazy.)

It still has to be registered under part 107 if it's being used for any commercial purpose that "furthers your business" - even monetized youtube videos. The mavic mini is impressive for it's size, but the side by side video comparison to the mavic pro 2 is a bit misguided. First, it appears he's shooting the mavic 2 pro in D-Cinelike mode which is a flat color, log profile that maximizes dynamic range for higher detail specifically meant for post processing and color grading - not for out of camera comparisons. Second, He could've either manually adjusted the settings or set it to HDR (neither of which are available on the mavic mini - nor does it have autonomous tracking) that would've blown the mavic mini away. It's very odd to me that someone who's apparently won cinematography awards doesn't seem to be aware of that, and then seems dumbfounded by why the mavic mini doesn't "cannibalize" DJI's higher end drones. Oh well.

Perhaps, but then you run the risk of that whole thing about history repeating itself.

Fist bump, lol. I wonder if wolfriverjoe still thinks they should all be documented, denied health care and left to die if they get covid. ...or if he still wants to let them all "infect each other, get lots of people sick all at once, overwhelm the health care system and die." https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/267905-the-wise-man-and-the-fool/?do=findComment&comment=4894745 https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/267518-covid-19/?do=findComment&comment=4897794

Deleted Was trying to lighten the place up with a silly joke, but it's really not the right time to lighten up.

I suppose we could just leave and let you guys circle jerk this place to death while Phil preaches to the choir. . . Is that what you want?

"Electric Vehicles first appeared in the mid-19th century. An electric vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. The high cost, low top speed, and short range of battery electric vehicles compared to later internal combustion engine vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_electric_vehicle So given that, I'm not sure how they can get there faster. . .unless of course you're talking about the first (EV) time machine, but it's gonna have to be really fast!

lmao

That is just wrong on so many levels. Maybe I am. Wiki said she admittedly lied about being raped by a group of black men. Is that not true?

Easier than lying about being gang raped by a group of black men.

We've already discussed this Jerry. It has less to do with Trump and more to do with Biden vs your "Skippy the Wonder Dog" 3rd Party nomination.

And with Trump we have plenty of people in prison - due directly to his actions. (And we have 90,000 Americans dead due to his lack of foresight.) OK, so it's ridiculous for Biden to run on his record of helping blacks just as it's ridiculous for Trump to boast about his covid response. And your analogy is broken. Trump didn't create the virus that caused those deaths like Biden who drafted the violent crime bill that unnecessarily and disproportionately imprisoned blacks for excessive terms, some even for life sentences. And I'm not even sure if it was Biden's lack of foresight or just deliberate ignorance of the consequences. We know Clinton spoke against the dangers with the 100-1 rule weeks before signing the violent crime act into law, knowing full well that it was never removed from the bill.

Hi Coreece, He damn sure will get them closer than Trump ever will. Nope, but I hear plenty have seen prison - due in part to biden's lack of foresight.

More like decades. . . . . .and I'm sure Biden is just the guy to lead blacks to the promised land, just like last decade, and the decade before that, and the decade before that.

And yet we are starting to do it. Oh, I thought it was a given that I was talking about initial tracing to say ahead of the spread and contain it like S. Korea. Obviously any tracing in areas where it makes sense, such as areas with minimal infections, will be beneficial. I'd say that European countries with death rates that are 2-3 times higher than that of the U.S had a terrible response. The U.S was mediocre (not good), Germany was good, and places like NZ and SK were exceptional. That's part of the plan, but yeah, much of everything else like shutdown orders will be decided by the States, so I suppose a bit of mind reading actually would be necessary, my bad.

Not meaningless at all. The article says it would be difficult and expensive to do here; definitely agreed there. Certainly not impossible. Not impossible, but as I posted earlier, studies suggest that manual contact tracing in countries like the U.S are not feasible due to presymptomatic transmissions and multiple unknown transmission chains. It eventually gets to the point where it becomes more beneficial to allocate the extensive resources involved in contact tracing to other mitigation efforts. It's likely that South Korea's tracing methods would've eventually been overwhelmed if they didn't build a massive digital tracing and surveillance infrastructure, which apparently was needed to contain the virus as they did. New Zealand is small enough where manual tracing can still be effective, especially in combination with their lockdown and aggressive level of testing, but even they see the necessity in having digital tracing apps. It's likely the U.S will need to adopt some form of digital tracing as well if we're ever to contain outbreaks like this without resorting to such restrictive shutdowns.

You don't have to be a mind reader to know what the plan was, just click the link I posted since you couldn't be bothered to find it yourself. I mean ffs, if you're going to continual criticize the U.S for it's mediocre response and compare it to your favorite cherry picked countries, the least you could've done was check to see wtf the plan was to begin with. Give me a break, I didn't make anything up - you're just making a big deal over me claiming that you said "shutdown" rather than "travel restrictions," as if it's such a stretch to think that travel restrictions would be part of a shutdown, especially when New Zealand (the country whose response you've been touting as an example for the U.S) had one of the strictest shutdown plans in the world. And I didn't make up your comparison of the U.S to South Korea and New Zealand and how the U.S should've emulated them. The problem is that those two countries have completely different approaches, so you have to pick one - and that's all I was really asking you when I said "which one is it?" To shutdown like NZ or not to shutdown like SK? Yes, we've already discussed their similarities, along with their similarities to the U.S. The problem is that there are vast differences to the U.S in size, population, density, tourism, travel, the number of citizens abroad, how we enforce quarantines, etc. All these factors play a significant role in the transmission of covid, and because of that, what works on some small isolated island in the south pacific, will not necessarily work for the U.S.
