If you spread people out sufficiently, I feel like it should be fine?

To be fair, I think the lifeguards also have a better view than the low camera in the corner of the pool.

I don't want to be cruel but I hope they learn a valuable lesson sooner or later.

A ton of people at work were sick this December without contact with Chinese students. I would guess it wasn't covid-19 but whatever regular virus was making the rounds.

You can almost see the multiple generations of code underneath that site. I'm sure they have the money for a good clean up.

It's easy to point fingers from the sidelines. I'm curious how this would've progressed if the virus had originated in the US instead and how much better it would've been handled.

Had the good fortune today to drive behind two cars, side by side, one sporting the old license plate and the other the old one. I could only read the old, white background plate but not the new blue one. And that was in broad daylight. Any

What do you mean without actual testing? Those people have been under observation for two weeks. Never heard of this 24 day incubation period. Every country is using 14 as a guideline. Sounds like fear mongering to me.

Any advertising that's badmouthing another product is shady. I don't know what advertising you've been seeing that's so much worse.

Those kinds of articles are always written by people who don't care much about cars in general. Sure, buy within your means, and sure, some people only buy expensive cars as a status symbol. There are however some somewhat pricey cars

I think biologically, mothers have a naturally stronger bond with their offspring for the simple reason they were a physical part of them for so long. A father, likely being less emotionally involved (at least initially), might need a lit

Just going to plug Tiny Tiny RSS here since no one else has mentioned it: https://tt-rss.org/ It's a PHP-based server-side reader with lots of customizations and great Android support.

Sounds like they got taken in by this Yossi Appleboum fellow and the story was too juicy to pass up, evidence be damned. From their perspective, it probably worked because of the attention they received.

Maybe, maybe not. She's 16 and doesn't sound like she really thought about the consequences. I doubt previous conviction records would've deterred her from doing it.

Allowing private access to healthcare is a slippery slope. Anyone paying for a service is someone who is also taking the place of someone using that service as a basic right. I'm not saying it shouldn't be an option for blood test

I was recently given a webcam by a friend to use while I was away on vacation. The app wouldn't let me set it up until it had correctly identified my physical location. On top of that there was some glitch that prevented the app from d

Came here to say exactly this. Trying to quantify any positive effects on the country itself is completely pointless. It was never about helping Afghans. Mission accomplished.

It's bizarre to me how many people idealize Stalin; scary really. But it might just be a case of lack of education. I have no idea how Russian history books generally describe that period in their history.

I'm not sure anyone has really stopped clicking "I Agree" as he author claims. Seems more wishful thinking than reality.

Maybe some sort of an open access via satellites that cover the entire surface of the Earth. In which case just having a device that can tune into the signal would be enough to get outbound access. But then someone has to control that satel

They didn't proceed with the trial because either way he would be deported. Simple as that. If they had convicted him, he'd be deported. If they couldn't convict him, he'd be deported still (he's not legally allowed

Is it me or is that stat not that bad at all? Considering the price of ownership, having 80% of people being able to (eventually) afford to buy real estate seems alright, no?

I can see it making sense if you're nearly blind without your glasses. I'd feel very vulnerable if I'm so reliant on glasses. If it's just a slight convenience then yeah... keep that stuff away from me.

Everyone is just going to make a bunch of noise and then promptly re-authorize them. Easy-peasy.
