admin reacted to Isabella in Chinese Coronavirus could be a bioweapon that escaped containment
Thank you I had heard about this as a "theory" about 3 weeks ago. I don't doubt it could be true

admin got a reaction from James Thomas Rook Jr. in Why is Bitcoin so hard for most people to understand?
The average person needs to see something about 9 times before it reaches the brains consideration zone, which is why companies bombard us with advertising non stop... Eventually it works

So if I understand it after two or three times reading about it, does it mean that I am not an average person? 🤭😃

admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Clint Eastwood.
Years ago, My three adult children were at the house with many of their friends, playing poker, telling jokes, and drinking beer at my long dining room table, and as I walked by, my second son asked "Hey Dad ... would you like a beer?"
I stopped and asked what kind they had.
There had all kinds of German and other imported beers, and of course Coors, and names I had never heard of ... and I replied "No Thanks ... my favorite beer is Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer."
The general reaction was "Ewwwww", and this embarrassed both of my sons, like their father was a barefoot hillbilly with a speech impediment and soiled clothes, or something.
Then I mentioned "You know .... Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is Clint Eastwood's favorite beer."
It was interesting to watch their faces as their minds grasped that, and their opinions changed instantly!
... There is NOBODY more Cool ... than Clint Eastwood.

admin got a reaction from Isabella in World’s BIGGEST 3D printed building in Dubai.
These will continue to be a novelty I think ... until some corporation figures out a way to build livable houses on affordable land with reasonable prices that incentivize people to live in these structures.
And I bet they would have to be 50% of the cost of a normal home.
Just some of my initial thoughts.

admin reacted to JW Insider in New Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Pandemic (aka WuFlu)
Highest single day jump of reported cases was between yesterday and today. Don't know when they stop counting for the day, but it's 15,000 new cases identified in the most recent short period. Might be due to a recent increase in patrols where all houses are visited to make sure everyone gets to the hospitals, or identified for quarantine. (The new cases still nearly all confined to Wuhan, Hubei.)
Edited to add: as long as no one has responded to this, I should add that this apparently was actually the result of redefining what it means to have the infection. There was a certain level of evidence required to report a "sure case" of infection with the virus. Now that level of evidence has been redefined to include more cases that might have shown almost no symptoms previously. (A little like when the the autism spectrum was redefined and then suddenly the number of cases of reported autism rose dramatically.)
