I would like to thank everyone who is doing their part to minimize the risk during this time. Working in healthcare sucks even when the risk in my area is low, but things can change lightning fast. I appreciate all who are going their part. And for those nay-sayers, go fuck yourself... see you in ER soon enough.

Was a quiet ending to a day. The town- Vine Grove- is well-familiar to me as it's where friends live(d), one of the places I went & go fishing, hiked, camped, carnally recreated, worked tobacco, baled hay, hunted & many other things. It, & the surrounding countryside with manifold more small towns very much like it in demeanor & vibe are a part of me & I hold dear. Since I drive these streets 12 hours a day 5-7 days a week, it occurred to me make a post chronicling the area I've grown up along with other thing of interest I happen upon; for my benefit &, perhaps, the mild amusement of others. I traveled through no less than ~15 different towns today alone; took some pictures & video of things that gained my attention for whatever reason & this is one of the places where they'll reside. They turned out nicely for a camera phone & caught the mood I feel there on a sleepy summer night. The echoes of times past resonate with me in the area & prompted me to stop & take those pictures.

My Sister who is a Senior Staff Nurse in Leicester City Royal Hospital is just recovering from it. She is super fit with no underlying health Issues but it still knocked her for six for 3 weeks she suffered really bad and had to spend a week in ICU. She knows of 2 other nurses that were not so lucky and passed away, and 3 other nurses that who she works with had it with very little symptoms. Doctors do not know why it affects people differently some of her patients did have other issues but some did not but still ended up in ICU. Her Advice to everyone.... what harm does it do to take precautions if wearing a mask saves just one person is it not worth it ????????? And remember you may get it and have no symptoms but you will still pass it on. So in my opinion its selfish not to take precautions.

Went to the gun range this last weekend with my pop because he bought a couple of guns and sights. One of the most fun to shoot was this AR type pistol he got! You are not supposed to shoulder this, but - it is super accurate! Shoots 9mm he added a really nice Sig Romeo 5 red dot and a really neat looking flash suppressor.

9 million! Now don't pull a @Crack on us and go back to 0 in 5 minutes Bogleg. I oink for you!

Oh, and Oinks!

OINKEDY!

OINKEDY!

Squeal like a pig.

Hey Basil, When this all was initially ramping up in March I thought some caution was warranted, I think things rapidly got out of hand though when they started locking everything down. Knowing what we know now I actually think it is criminal the lies that are being perpetuated. I don't know if you are someone that will listen to reason or not, I know there are plenty who have quintupled down at this point. Here is data from the cdc about deaths in the US from Feb-Jun. Keep in mind there is evidence that certain places have been inflating the death numbers. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku/data Under the age of 75 around 43, 000 people have died from coronavirus under the age of 75. In the same time period around 540, 000 have died from other causes. I'm not sure if there are any in this clan over the age of 75 when the risk does somewhat increase. The cdc were estimating in May that the ifr from this is going to be around 0.26%. As far as mask wearing, the chart you posted doesn't take into account the quality of mask the user has on, if the "healthy person" (who has little to fear) is wearing an n99 transmissibility will be much much lower. Given everything we know, those at increased risk should take extra precautions and get themselves a high quality mask and minimize social contact if they so choose. I recommend following https://twitter.com/EthicalSkeptic?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author for updates.

HELLSPAWN and SOCOLGUY please see the above graph, you guys said folks that wear masks are sheep and you will never ever wear a mask. O M G I said. (This isn't about "rights" or "freedom", it is about life and death. Global pandemic. Great Depression. )

What the hell are you doing breaking into that Barber Shop at 12:25am? Maybe you should rename this thread Timmah!>XI<‘s crime blog.

A thread where I can memorialize random stuff seems great: Small-town Americana @ 12:25 in the a.m.:

Someone had posted about knives a while back and I finally upgraded. Got a Gerber because it is made in Oregon where I am originally from. It is a folding flip that is about 3"

Hey, just dawned on me, we have several COVID-19 survivors who are back to gaming and have been describing what it was like, wondering how many folks in this clan (or play with XIers) have died (OMG) of it and we don't know, they just don't show up to play anymore and we don't know they died. So who has had it and survived it? Tell your survival stories, let us know what the hell is going on? Is it the illness from hell or was your illness easy peasy? Or did you test positive and have no idea that you had it? BTW, if I just drop off some day and you don't hear from my, it's probably cause some fool not wearing a mask got too close to me and gave it to me and I died, just getting that out. If that is the case, nice knowing you, and sorry I died!

LOL that was my answer , But you can remove the game from your account and then reload it and tell it where to place the game ??

Nice Postings.

Grubhub, D00rdash, Postmates. A lot of country roads out here, with an attendant amount of people who are willing to pay ~$20-$25 for somebody to drive their meal to them. Sweet gig to me, getting paid to drive these beautiful country roads on a sunny Kentucky summer day.

You a pimp ????????

Nobody says it's not nasty, it does kill, however we have said this all before many many times Fact, here in UK we have one of the worst death rates in Europe, just checked and officially that figure is currently 44,000 have died at present, our population is around 69 million, do the maths yourself. In the great scheme of things a nasty virus, but not a great killer ???? We will all sit down in a few years time when it is forgotten and ask ourselves why we put millions out of work, wrecked our economies, possibly caused a depression and even worse more wars, for in our case a tiny percentage of the population ? There is currently no cure, returning to normality will mean another escalation but what choice do we have, none, unless you want to starve to death. Yes I might die, but I've been there before a few times now, let's live with it like they lived with it in the past, better than bombs and bullets, and believe me that is the alternative looming large now. You'll shit yourself more than coronavirus when that happens ?

Very cool stuff @Sven35i I know we were talking earlier and you said you can't get the american models where you are at, does anyone have a good source?

nice

Did your ping get even lower haha

Hey thank you ehh. LOL

Haha ?

The crapjack dealer is a floppy headed Canadian!

Figured out the first picture - he got high sniffing the cologne in the barber shop and fell down in the street with the camera on

Don't blame Canada - just Joe Canadian

No one ever talks about how to stay healthy and support your immune system which by the way is working around the clock against many things...A mask for some is a personal choice
