Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (9/2/20) Too Much Reliance On YouTube Edition

Quote I

“Like other scientists and public health experts, we have argued that more asymptomatic people, not fewer, need to be tested to bring the pandemic under control. Now, in the face of a dysfunctional CDC, it’s up to states, other institutions and individuals to act.” Harold Varmus & Rajiv Shah

Quote II

Republicans get called Nazis no matter how far they bend over, and still they try to appease the same malicious actors who call them Nazis. You know what they say about those who don’t learn from history.Jim Goad

Quote III

Arson and terrorizing families with children does nothing except steal, and distract from, the important message of the racial justice movement. Organizations in the community who encouraged or condoned these actions are complicit. Elected leaders – or those seeking office – who remain silent in the midst of these acts of violence and criminal destruction are equally complicit. The community must rise up and say “enough is enough” and hold all of us accountable. We cannot truly move on together and make the positive changes we want to see until this violence is stopped. All violence.Enabler Mayor Ted Wheeler, Portland, OR

Quote IV

Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.C. S. LEWIS

Impressive shooting.............

How do Democrats help out business on Main Street, USA? Just ask the United States Chamber of Commerce.

The United States Chamber of Commerce has endorsed at least 23 House Democrats up for re-election this November against Republican challengers.

Insiders close to the Chamber of Commerce told the Associated Press (AP) that the big business lobbying group had finalized plans to endorse 23 House Democrats and 29 House Republicans just as the GOP is hoping to win over 17 vital seats to take back the House of Representatives.

If the US Chamber of Commerce is not enough help for the average business, how about Paste Eatin' Uncle Joe?

Goof fucking grief........

Have you ever shit so hard you acquired amnesia? Well, supposedly it has happened.

A constipated woman lost more than 10 years of memories after straining too hard on the toilet, it is claimed.

The anonymous woman had a 'mental blackout' because of constipation, according to reports from Hong Kong.

The China Post claims the woman forgot a decade of her life for an eight-hour period after struggling on the toilet.

Her memory returned after an overnight stay in hospital, although she still cannot remember the eight hours after her visit to the lavatory.

I've generally supported President Trump over the past 3 years. But his latest rule is Bull Shit.

The Trump administration is again pushing the envelope of its executive authority by issuing a new blanket eviction moratorium that applies to all rental properties nationwide. The order, published Tuesday, is a dramatic expansion of the now-expired eviction moratorium passed by Congress in March, and could potentially impose heavy criminal penalties on landlords for attempting to remove non-paying tenants from their properties.

According to the order advanced by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) yesterday, tenants earning up to $99,000 ($198,000 for joint filers) cannot be evicted for not paying their rent provided they tell their landlord in writing that they've made all efforts to obtain government assistance, have lost income or received extraordinary out-of-pocket medical bills, and that their eviction would force them into homelessness or into a crowded living situation.

Where the F*ck is my jet pack? At or near Los Angeles International Airport.

The FBI is now involved after an American Airlines pilot claims he saw a man in a jet pack on Sunday night while he was on final approach near Los Angeles International Airport, according to the LA Times. The flight was American Airlines Flight 1997 from Philadelphia.

“Tower, American 1997. We just passed a guy in a jet pack,” the pilot is heard telling the tower at LAX.

The tower responded:

“American 1997, OK, thank you. Were they off to your left or right side?”

Too bad I used the Little Timmy Wilson bit the other evening.

What are the Sconnie boys up to? Let's find out.............

I'm hoping that the Fabulous Mrs. Mis Hum isn't lurking tonight. Just another reason to carry.

A jogger in Canada running down a trail last weekend was surprised when a bear emerged from the bushes and pawed at her leg.

Another hiker who had been walking up the trail in Coquitlam Crunch in British Columbia, Canada, recorded the alarming encounter on video.

The video shows the black bear approach the shocked woman and probe at her leg once, and then jump back. After a few tense moments, the bear appears to lose interest and the woman is able to run away.

Well this certainly explains my little brother after all these years. Me on the other hand, not so much. New study suggests we all might be children of alien organisms

Panspermia means “seeds everywhere,” and the concept represents the idea that life on Earth may have been seeded by biological lifeforms from outer space. This long-controversial idea recently received some experimental support from a new study out of Japan.

These extremes of life were tested utilizing the International Space Station to examine how microbes might live in the extreme conditions of space.

“The origin of life on Earth is the biggest mystery of human beings. Scientists can have totally different points of view on the matter. Some think that life is very rare and happened only once in the Universe, while others think that life can happen on every suitable planet. If panspermia is possible, life must exist much more often than we previously thought” Dr. Akihiko Yamagishi, researcher at Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, explains.
