  1. I at one time watched quite a few of the news broadcast and wrote down some notes about each. It was an exercise for myself. My brain hurt after a couple of weeks. Actually my Brain really hurt! ? Interesting to say how each of the broadcasts are so slanted one way. Now I try to listen to PBS and BBC because I have some relatives in England. I had a great history professor who told the class: "remember all the news casts are opinions of the news" He was trying to get across that as individuals you need to watch a variety and read from multiple sources to help with ones own bias. It is easy to listen or watch the point of view that you agree with.
  2. You are giving us too much credit about our Epicness?
  3. Are the glasses really only filled with water.......................?
  4. I like it. Amazing what you can do with real instruments
  5. I remember the saying like this one from Stats class way back in the day! Statistics are biased towards one side “As long as the errors remain one-sided, it is not easy to attribute them to bungling or accident.” Nobody uses statistics to disprove themselves. That is, statistics are used to serve a cause or agenda that someone believe ins, rather than disprove that cause or agenda. So when people err in their use of statistics or make intentional mistakes, the errors will always be in one direction (the direction of their beliefs and agenda). So instead of getting an unbiased look at the world, we’re getting a biased look of the world that other people want us to see. This is a dangerous world to live in if you don’t recognize this reality about how people use data. I remember the professor I had told us to use the numbers in off the wall cases and present to class as small groups. It was an interesting exercise and actually comical. To bad this was way before smartphones and youtube etc. Would of been great to get some recording of the Bull Sh*t we were saying twisting the numbers.
  6. By the looks of it I don't think so. Illinois on social distancing but what good will it do if down South doesn't take it seriously. It will just prolong the whole mess.
  7. She really knows how to Pump-it..........................................I'll get my coat.
  8. Got my Jam Points added to my account
  9. After Bert came down with the virus and Rubber Ducky wouldn't take the position ?
  10. Good chance my FIL died of it last month. We will never know as he had poor health and died at home after complaining of not being able to breathe. The medical staff is already over-worked and now this. Out-Patient service where my wife works is still open even after being exposed to patients that have tested positive and the staff had no masks. Like telling police to do your job with no gun, bullets, and bullet-proof vest! To top it off people still think it is nothing or it doesn't apply to them.
  11. Just because he is a Bass Player doesn't mean he can't sing. Oh wait this is Bapu we're talking about ? Maybe it is an Ed thing as I really can't sing either ?
  12. You got to be kidding me, I still can't find Waldo!!!!! Time for a cocktail ?
  13. Now the public at large doesn't want the most qualified, they never have. Sorry, shouldn't be on this subject. I'm off to have a Corona
  14. You must drink Caffeinated Coffee to destroy it! Drinking Orange Coffee is only feeding its Ego I mean Feeding the disease ?
  15. I just realized something. The Virus is Orange?
  16. Now that is not the pickup line you should be using ?
  17. It looks like a decaffeinated virus. Is that good or bad. Do we need the caffeine to ward it off?
  18. That looks like the neighbors dog! She will growl at you but she is actually a sweetheart if you start to play with her.
  19. Now for the music choice: Is this in bad taste? Stuck in my daughters and my head now as we ended up watching the movie last night.
  20. I Am Shure you are right about the Mustard. I made shure I have extra mustard on hand right now!
