  1. Another metric that interests me is deaths per million. The impact of 10,000 deaths on a population of 100,000 must be substantially different from the impact on a population of 1,000,000. It seems to me that the COVID-19 virus would end up causing a much more altered society in the first case than it would in the second. Our.world.in data.org has enough charts with enough user control to satisfy almost any data freak. Start with these two, and play around with the variety of ways you can look at the data. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-cases-per-million-three-day-avg?tab=chart&time=2020-03-15..&country=BRA~CAN~FRA~ITA~MEX~GBR~USA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-per-million-3-day-avg?tab=chart&time=2020-03-15..&country=BRA~CAN~FRA~ITA~MEX~GBR~USA
  2. I'd be curious to know about the timing. Sean disappeared abruptly mid-2011.
  3. Up to now (80), I've usually said 100, because I have always wanted to know what's just around the next corner, even when I get to the ultimate corner. OTOH, now that the country is going to hell and we're at the end of our 230-year experiment in democracy, I care less and less about how long I want to stick around. Also, now that I'm starting to fray a little around the edges, I'm getting less confident about making it to the goal line. I'm more attentive to letting people know now how much they have meant to me, especially the escorts, since I don't see them all that often. Right now I'm working -- again -- on making things easier for the kids to manage the funeral details, to have the references of people to notify, to know how to handle the final bills, and in general, how to get past the mundane part of my post-life. Leaves them more time to grieve.
  4. I'll see him this week, and I am soo tempted to say Nyah, Nyah, Nyah to y'all. But I won't. Shout-out to C from HB.
  5. This! My drug company intends to reach out to my physician for a new prescription, but I don't think he wants to cuddle.
  6. No, wait. Not candles. Several thousand chipmunks scampering frantically in their little revolving cages.
  7. Dudes, just get an all-electric car! I loves me my 2018 Bolt EV. I use it and only it for city and for near-by destinations, then I rent an old-fashioned ICE for long-distance travel. Sweet.
  8. Sorry to be so dense, Mike, but do you mean more or less fiber/fibre? I already get a fair amount daily from Fiber One cereal for breakfast. Except on the days of the morning appointments, that is.
  9. I have not met Avi Dar, but have seen Ben a number of times. OMG, the muscles are to die for. Some of his pics on Rent.Men are from a few years ago, but the newer ones show that he is even more muscular than I remember. If the smoking or the resulting smell are a problem for you, as they are for me, ask him about it. I'm sure you'll get an honest answer. For a while, he was using the fake cigarettes, and that worked.
  10. What if the only time you can meet is in the morning, say 8-ish to 11-ish, not an overnight? What kind of meal schedule do you suggest? As an added complication, what if you normally have a morning "evacuation" after 8-ish? (Asking for a friend.)
  11. At age 79, I could hardly be anything other than older than my escorts.
  12. Then there's "Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear," one of my favorites. How about metatheses? --"What's the weather like today?" "Bricks." --"How do you like your bacon" "Crips."
