If we need tp,we will just go to the store and get some.

Two of my close friends and I are putting up a CBD extraction facility. One of the buildings we're looking at had that in the shop room. I couldn't help but take a pic of it!! 😂

Wife is worried that we're low on TP, but at least we have plenty of paper towels. Don't worry hon, I have you covered!!

Actually, eggs came before chickens.

True, but, chickens came before chicken eggs.  Eggs came about 340 million years ago while the chicken came about 58,000 years ago. 

Quote

This claim came from some researchers studying how chicken eggshells form. Eggshell is mostly made from calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Hens get their supply of calcium for eggshell production from dietary sources (calcium-rich seafood shells, such as oyster or prawn shells, are a popular snack for backyard hens for this reason).

To form a shell, the calcium needs to be deposited in the form of CaCO₃ crystals, and hens rely on specific proteins that enable this process. One such protein, called ovocleidin-17 (or OC-17 for short), is only found in the ovary of a chicken, leading to the suggestion that the chicken must have come before the chicken egg, since without OC-17, there can be no chicken egg formation. (Interestingly, it seems that this protein is responsible for speeding up the rate of eggshell formation, enabling hens to build an egg from scratch and lay it within a 24-hour timeframe.)

So, can we lay this age-old conundrum to rest? Or are scientists and philosophers still scrambling to find an answer?

At the end of the day, the question is something of a false dichotomy. Eggs certainly came before chickens, but chicken eggs did not—you can’t have one without the other.

Michigan's governor closed all K-12 schools last night until April 6th. But it doesn't take effect until Monday.  

Wait, what?  If there's so much to be concerned about, why are they waiting until Monday, and not shutting down IMMEDIATELY? 

Our schools closed today too.  No way this shit is going to be gone by then anyway.  Many schools are having the kids clean out their lockers as they think the year may be over.  :SMH:

An Honest Question of Joe Biden's Cognitive Health

This is not a post that I want to write, but I think its extremely important. I recently made a post about why Bloomberg is a horrible candidate, and I still think he would be totally unelectable. But in the face of possibly having Joe Biden as our nominee instead, I think this is a must-have discussion for Democrats.

Recently, I commented that Joe Biden might have dementia and my post was removed. Look, nobody likes to talk about that and its not something I would typically feel comfortable bringing up. But its not concern trolling. Its genuine concern. Even though I often disagree with him policy-wise, I think Joe Biden is a pretty decent person and politician. In the VP debates in 2008 and 2012, he was incredibly quick on his feet and very intelligent. In 2016, I sincerely think he would've beat Donald Trump. Not anymore. Here’s an article titled, “Donald Trump’s Son Accused Joe Biden of Having Dementia; Twitter Claims its Potus.” www.ibtimes.com/...

Here’s the thing. Donald Trump’s base doesn't care if Donald Trump has dementia. They’ll vote for him no matter what and they dont believe a word we say anyway. However, do you all remember the nonstop talk about Hillary’s emails? The issue barely mattered, and yet it covered the news cycle for the entire race. Imagine having a candidate with DEMENTIA. Imagine that being the narrative. Donald Trump and the Republicans have no shame at all. Donald Trump is already out there saying Joe Biden belongs in a nursing home. Imagine a nickname like “Dementia Joe”. That makes “Crooked Hillary” look like child’s play. If we nominate Joe, HE WILL LOSE. My grandmother had dementia and I often had to take care of her until she started hospice. I’ve already seen this. Joe’s incoherence and confusion is not his stutter and they're not gaffes. It’s dementia. 

Look, even if you don't like Bernie, even if you hate his online supporters (including me), even if you’re concerned about his physical health (understandable), he seems to be in perfect health now and has a much better chance to beat Trump. He’s the only other candidate*. If electability is your only concern, for the love of God, please dont vote for Joe. Vote for Bernie.

You dont have to like this guy either, I imagine Kulinski wouldn't be popular on this site because he can come across as a dick sometimes. That’s beside the point. But watch this mashup of Joe Biden. It’s a 10 minute video, but the mashup starts at 1:52.

Bernie isn't electable. I asked my sister who votes liberal primarily because she can't stand religious fanatics, who she would vote for if Bernie got the nomination.  She said she simply wouldn't vote.  She said of her friends and other attorneys she knows, many would vote for Trump and the others wouldn't vote at all. Bernie has his core lazy people who think the world somehow owes them, but most know he's out to lunch.

Not racist at all.  Saying they were blacks is a simple observation.

I read an article comparing the corona with the flu.  Pretty similar except kids aren't affected by corona.  In China, the numbers are very skewed as the majority of men are smokers and the virus is an upper respiratory virus and is much worse on smokers.  The numbers don't include people who get it and just get the sniffles and such.  They don't get medical attention and are not counted in the totals.  The real issue they have with this virus is that they don't want it to get a foothold where it will be another seasonal virus like the flu.
