Being inoffensive to Unique is of no particular concern, I just get my news from the Babylon Bee, which puts The Register to shame in the snarkiness department. Nice thing about killfiles is they work equally well on all 58 genders. They don't discriminate. https://babylonbee.com/news/springbr...spell-out-yolo |

They don't discriminate. :-) The 'inoffensive' tag was not intended to refer to any entity, regardless of their corporeal or spiritual existence or lack thereof and which plane of conciousness they inhabit. Rather, it was meant to reassure those in need of reassurance that using that plural nongendered pronoun in this fashion is SFW and, indeed encouraged by those who find specifying an unknown entity's gender to be problematic. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

Uneekc, Are you a coke addict? That's so 1980s? Have you tried meth? I don't blame you for the drugs man, being on the front lines of the war on science has gotta be stressful. Antivaxer by chance?

NO, actually I find this quite entertaining and informative, Dan.
You're being treated precisely like a "climate denier".* Didn't we go through that recently?* Reading all of the attacks shows the same party line, only the crisis is different.* Global cooling, global warming, melting ice with flooded cities, climate change...* You name it, if you don't follow the party line, there's something wrong with you. Here's another take on the subject: CoronaVirus https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/most-of-those-infected-wont-even-know-it-israeli-virologist-tells-world-leaders-to-calm-unnecessary-panic-over-exaggerated-coronavirus/. Most people who get the virus will get over it without even realizing they had it.* One website now has US cases at 32,356 with 414 deaths.* Now, if you want to talk about the flu, CDC estimates 38 MILLION cases this year with 390,000 hospitalizations, and 23,000 deaths.* Now I ask you, which scares you more? This is what I believe, and I'm not in a line for the slaughter. While others hoard toilet paper, I increase my supply of (gasp) ammo.* No really, I enjoy target shooting; killed a bunch of steel targets just last week.

Buy the glider!!!! This is a perfect sport for social distancing. It's not the social concerns but rather the economic. I'd hate to spend the savings only to need it for more pressing things. |

I am guessing/assuming.....I may be incorrect....
Sounds like some are likely to need to watch..... Soylent green....soylent green Or Logans run.... Both are 1970's era movies......both sorta fit the concept of, "you get old, you die" sorta thang.... Wait until you hit this point in time.... Keep in mind, most "old folks" either paid/helped pay for you to fly early on, or support flying where you are... Yes, I have heard from a few "20 something's" that current virus is a "boomer doomer".....I plan to be around to annoy some youngers for a few more decades....as Monty Python would say..."I'm not dead yet!!!"... much to the chagrin of my 20 something kidlets.... |

Andy, yes in all seriousness, they would be welcome, I would put them in quarentine for a week or so in our guest house to make sure symptoms dont show themselves, but yes, I dont blame anyone for wanting to get out of rampent infected areas. Ask those poor folks who were cooped up on that cruise ship just waiting to get infected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hks6Nq7g6P4 |
