Who cares

About rich guys fighting with each other?

Well, that depends. One of them loses which causes the other to spend all kinds of money to buy out the looser. Then jack up the price of the services offered by losers product. Or to modify the product to be of lesser value. I think we would care. Just saying. Otherwise, I do agree.

Comment Re:This is a sad fact, but not all students have (Score 1) 149

I do agree with you, no argument from me. I think both our positions is that not all students have the means to be able to perform online. Shoot, let's take it a step further. If it is a large family, they may not be in an environment where they can concentrate due to interruptions. Loud noises. I agree a lot of the environment for learning falls on the parents, but I still think it is a factor.

Considering that the U.S. does not mine all of it's mineral resources due to regulation and areas being off limits. I would think that mining on the moon cost wise is probably is about the same. We still have the resources in the U.S., we just are not able to mine them. The moon though, the environmentalists have not gotten control of that area yet.

Wish you would post some of the articles that document the downsides of this stay at home solution to trying to slow the spread of this virus.

Increase of domestic violence.

Increase of depression.

Increase of people drinking.


Just saying. There are a ton of side affects, both good and bad that has came about because of the current recommendations to slow the threat of the virus. And a decrease of global change is not the only one.

Back to my beer, speaking of drinking.

Ok, I am going back to drinking beer and watching totally non political/death and destruction movies and tv shows.

If a mistake happened in a lab that was studying the virus, which I can believe. I have seen no reputable articles as of yet on that. But it is easily conceivable.

I still think that the release of information in the beginning from ALL sources was at fault. From the Chinese government, to WHO, and also our own government. I don't know if it was down right lying on anyone's part, or if that people just under estimated the severity of the problem. My money is on both. BUT, I have no proof of that other than my own observations.

I tip my next beer to the posters of slashdot. Peace out! ;o)

What is this, like the 3rd or 4th article about Zoom? I mean, I don't use it. We don't use it where I work. And most of the postings here I have read, most of us do not use it either. I mean, it's one thing to be informed so that we can share the information with friends that might be using it. But, isn't this becoming over kill?

Lol, because I am on a number of shit list's here right now. What I was trying to convey to you is that I agree with you.

It's airborne. Not just water droplets from sneezing or coughing, rather just from exhaling the water vapor carries the virus in the air!

I just read this also. Just talking to someone can spread the virus. I have seen different articles on how far the distance these droplets can travel to how long they stay in the air.

What, because there is truth that China lied? You think anyone that is tired of people supporting China and their role in this should not be able to point that out? We should not also point out the hatred of Trump(and he is an asshole) blinds people to other facts about this outbreak. I guess you feel that only one side should be told, and that sticking up for oneself should not include returning the same hatred and spitefulness that is expressed by the Trump haters.

You miss spelled stupid. That would be you. There is plenty of main media sites that are openly stating that China lied, china still has outbreaks, and china censored the speech of critics. Remember the doctor from China that died for speaking the truth. OH wait, your just some asshole that lets your hatred of Trump overrule anything else. Main stream media stating the obvious. Take your blinders off asshole. And bitch, I do wash my hands. But then, unlike you. I didn't have to be told. It's called common sense hygiene. I was taught that a long time ago. To bad you needed to be reminded to do it. Fucking moron.
