This is one of those days I wonder if I died already & currently reside in Hell.
Pandemic.
Stock market crashing.
Kids in cages.
Neo-nazis.
Talk of second civil war.
Religious nut-jobs taking over government.
Dictatorship.
White House owned by Russia.
Sixth mass extinction & insect apocalypse (google it).

This is every disaster movie ever made.
And on a personal note, I have a pack of coyotes howling outside my window right now, which is super-creepy.

Not a metaphor - even tho I'm in Maryland, where I've lived my whole life & we never before had coyotes. They're here now.

Nothing feels real anymore.
The only thing keeping me sane right now is logic puzzles.

Is this legal? I thought voting was supposed to be private. If they're separating the lines by party and making the DEM line a longer wait, this is voter suppression.
Usually voter suppression tactics are less obvious - they put broken machines & longer lines in minority communities & pretend they're not targeting specific party.

I've never heard of separating lines by party. What's the use of privacy curtains if you're separated by line?
I assume we're talking a primary here, but are GOP holding primaries in any state? I thought they weren't.

Corona virus could turn out to be a big scary deal. Here's why.

Corona virus kills about 2% of those infected, which seems to us very low, but that number is deceptive. It's already killed more people than far deadlier viruses & this thread explains why it's more dangerous.
First, some scary context. The 1918 Spanish Flu, which killed 50 MILLION people worldwide, had a mortality rate similar to Corona virus - about 2.5%.

How could a virus with such a seemingly low mortality rate kill so many when more lethal viruses don't?
It's precisely BECAUSE the virus is deadly - but not too deadly - that it can kill more.

H5N1 - the bird flu that terrified us earlier this century - kills 60% of those who get it. It is far more lethal than Corona. Yet Corona has already caused more deaths.

Interesting article explaining why Corona virus is likely to spread widely enough that most of us will get it. Virus is deadly, but not too deadly, and that makes it far more dangerous than viruses that kill in greater numbers.
theatlantic.com/health/archive…
Viruses that sicken people dramatically & kill high percentages of them - like SARS - are more easily contained because sick people are easily identified & too sick to go spread the virus.

Corona virus, tho, can be mild in some people, causing no symptoms, yet kill others.
Danger is many infected people will not be identified & won't stay home. Corona kills about 2% of victims, which seems low, but if it infects millions, that's a lot of deaths.

Some scientists believe Corona is not containable & will become a virus that recurs like flu annually.

Jonathan Smele is one of those few people who needs to be better known as a man doing the most significant heavy lifting in English language material on the Russian Civil War currently.

This thread with choice bits of his bibliography will be further annotated by myself. ImageImageImageImage
Just going to note here that this is something of a lasting flaw of Slavic departments, usually they want you to know English, Russian, another Slavic Language, and a Western European “research language” usually German or French.

And requirements for historians is even less Slav Image
Very promising start, you have the IU lists (good for updating on recently punblished/unpublished theses)

The Arans bibliography for Emigres which was the core of the Hoover Institute’s publications for decades.

And the Blitstein bibliography shows declining English publishing Image

One of the problems with the decarbonisation challenge is the incomprehensibility of energy units. One of those units is "million tonnes oil equivalent" or MTOE. Currently Australians consume around 133 MTOE in fossil fuels each year (we produce a lot more for export).
While it's easy to say our #zerocarbon2050 challenge is to reduce consumption by 133 MTOE over 30 years, I doubt anyone has any idea what that means in terms of individual action. To do so we need a different set of units.
One way is to convert MTOE to LOE - litres of Oil equivalent - on a per capita basis. Currently, the Australian economy runs at around 6000 LOE's per person, which amounts about to 120 (50 l) tanks of petrol - or one tank of petrol of every 3 days for each person.

National system to pick up runaway, abused teens.
Legally can only retrieve kids w/o legal guardians or parents looking for them—99% of abused kids.

It's a funneling system.

One time in the kitchen, I was making egg stew. My aunt came over (whose name I cannot mention because I don't want a family meeting😅) and said, "let me tell you a story".

ISSA THREAD
She is the wife of a missionary and so often hosts people in their home. She said one of those days, late at night, they had visitors. It was past dinner time and there was no cooked food, so she went into the kitchen to figure out what to quickly fix for her hungry guests.
After searching, she got some rice, few stew items and just a tin of sardines, nothing else. When the stew was halfway, she remembered she had a few eggs kept for breakfast and decided to add them up directly into the stew.
