You are lying or can't read. You say the model said 2 million deaths was the best case result. What it actually says:

"In the (unlikely) absence of any control measures or spontaneous changes in individual behaviour"

Go read your own source again. That's exactly what I recall from the reporting at the time. 2 million if we did nothing, 100-200k if we did lockdown and that's exactly what is happening.

"I don't think of myself as continuing to stutter. ... That doesn't cross my mind that I'm stuttering," Biden said. "Look, the mistakes I make are mistakes. And some people think I still stutter. I don't think of myself that way."
  Sometimes, Biden said, "I'll find myself searching for a second" to find the words - but "I've always attributed that to being tired and not to the stutter."

Even Biden himself doesn't believe this explanation, why do you? I have a slight stutter and I sure know when I'm doing it.

"The second- and third-generation particles transform into their lighter counterparts too quickly to form exotic cats"

So, what are exotic cats made of then?

Getting to play a video game or not does not change anything in the world. The importance of the Iowa caucus is not how many delegates get assigned. It's about creating a buzz for the candidate that wins or does better than expected that they can then try to build off Millions of dollars were spent and thousands of volunteers for campaigns worked the phones to try to get this buzz for their candidate and they have nothing to show for it.

They had a window last night where they were going to be the story. They were going to be on the front page of the papers today. Tonight is the State of the Union. Tomorrow the Senate acquits Trump. The only story that came out of Iowa is that the IDC is a laughing stock.

It looks like Biden did absolutely abysmally which should be a major story and sink his campaign but he's getting cover. That potentially gives him life to survive to Super Tuesday and maybe turn things around.

When you can report zero results after two hours, when it usually takes half an hour to call the whole thing, it's not user error. That's clearly a systemic problem.

A retaliation that doesn't lead to war doesn't exist. We are already in a spiral of increasing retaliation. Any retaliation at all will be answered with something stronger. If they had to make a response to this to avoid looking weak, that will still be true after the US retaliates again. Two sides that both think the only way to avoid looking weak is to attack will inevitably end up at war. The only way out is to not retaliate at all. If we're banking on Iran to be more restrained and reasonable that the United States then we're truly fucked.

There is a big difference between tracking the buying habits of customers and tracking the performance of your store layout and in store advertising. It's very easy for online merchants to track the performance of their site but the only other way a brick and mortar store can get this kind of info is to follow people around and keep track of what they do, which is something that does happen. You can only follow one person around at a time though so it becomes incredibly labor intensive to get any meaningful data.

And how is he going to explain how he thinks he owns the copyright to Minecraft? A corporation sending out claims based on matching a phrase related to something they do own and getting a bunch of false positives is different from a dude picking out one video of something he couldn't possibly think he owns. The law was written to protect that corporation, not that dude.

"The court heard that Brushett was one of a 'throng' of people trying to cross the road at the start of rush-hour. She was looking at her mobile phone when crossing the road, and only noticed Hazeldean approaching at the last moment, despite the traffic lights showing green."

I suppose "trying to cross" doesn't explicitly mean that the "throng" were also in the road, but I interpreted that to mean she wasn't the only one in the road.

I agree, in the totality of the circumstances in the article. It sounds like the cyclist decided to just push through a crowd of jaywalking pedestrians on his green light, at speed. One of them, being oblivious to his coming until the last second because they were looking at their phone, panicked and moved in the direction he was already going to avoid them. It's really only the phone thing that is saving the cyclist from being entirely liable.

However the line from the judge, "Cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways." is an insurance scammer's dream come true. There would be people jumping out in front of bicycles from in between cars all over London if that was the actual law. It would be impossible for anyone but pedestrians to use the roads.

The problem is that the extensive imagination that GRRM has which allowed him to create the series in the first place he also applies to his own ability to write it. He was delusional about the show catching up to him until it actually happened. He's delusional about how many books it's going to take to get to the ending and how many more years he can keep writing. I think the show rushing the ending will have the opposite effect and make him slow down even more. He won't want to leave out one iota of what he wants to explore with the series and he thinks he's going to live forever.

Well you should read your own link.

"Boeing's optional safety features, in part, could have helped the pilots detect any erroneous readings. One of the optional upgrades, the angle of attack indicator, displays the readings of the two sensors. The other, called a disagree light, is activated if those sensors are at odds with one another."

The optional feature did NOT make the software look at both sensors. It just made it obvious to the pilot that the sensor was wrong without telling the system that was trying to kill them that it was wrong.

I really hate that White Walker dragon. Dragons are somewhat magical, but they are real physical animals. To breathe fire they must have some organ that produces flammable liquid/gas. Does the White Walker dragon eat in order to make this substance? It doesn't just appear out of nowhere. And why is it blue instead of red? Blue is a hotter flame than red. Nuclear explosions don't change colors just because the bad guy gets them.

And the dragon doesn't need to breathe fire in order to be the most devastating weapon the Night King could ever have. Instead of moving at the shambling pace of his undead army, he can fly right around the armies of Westeros coming to fight him and make a new army wherever he goes. There's been a raging war all over the country so there's corpses everywhere, but any graveyard will do (including the one inside Winterfell). He can fly anywhere, drop off a White Walker and seed a new army that will grow larger than any force available to fight it before they can find out where it is and march there to fight. And he'll be off somewhere else doing the same thing again long before you find out where he was. Only another dragon can catch him, but the White Walkers are seemingly immune to fire (unlike the wights) so the living dragons can't hurt him but he can hurt them. Even if the living dragons can hurt him and his dragon, very risky going after him since you can't bring reinforcements with you but he can raise support wherever he goes.

You understand this is directly from a quote from the author of the books that Game of Thrones is based on, right?

Delaying the need for going to nursing home and taking some of the strain off from the caregivers would certainly help. But we aren't that far in with the disease with my mom and at this point getting her to cooperate with that for an hour a day every day would not be remotely possible.
