    Video of extreme dropped call :-)

    Some years back, I was sitting on my hardwood floor and fumbled my Samsung S4 and it dropped 18 inches from my hand to the floor, hit on a corner and broke the screen despite being in a case. I had bought it used, so I wasn't out much money, but it still pissed me off. Sent from my ONEPLUS...

    OK, I replaced the direct link that the forum software choked on for some strange reason, with a clickable link that takes you to the story on CNN. No liberal indoctrination at that link, don't worry.

    Excellent article detailing the high burden of COVID-19 deaths, and peak timelines for various states: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-death-toll-us.html Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Remote Setup for Inlaw

    Keep in mind that doing so commits you to a continuous bandwidth requirement equal to the three cameras bitrate. Depending on her upload speed this might be an issue, or if either of you have data caps that is something to consider. But mostly it is less reliable than having recording done...

    Remote Setup for Inlaw

    If you are interested in discretely filming the perp(s) in the act, then busting them, spy cameras are good. But that doesn't sound like what you are after. My recommendation would be to put cameras in the necessary places in clear sight, with stickers on the doors to the home stating video...

    Amazon truck ran over flower garden

    Sorry this happened to you. It's a PITA to have to replace the fencing, even if it's not difficult. I can sort of see the driver not realizing they crushed the wire fencing, but it takes a lot of gall in my opinion to back out over your grass like that, when they should just back down the...

    Love that Yeats poem. It was featured in Babylon5, a favorite show of mine decades ago. Of course G'Kar says we might be wiser than he thought. Personally I doubt it. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Here is a review of the issue with second-quarter additional doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Note that the discussions happened after the efficacy was already demonstrated, albeit while awaiting safety data...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Not fishy at all. Once the safety data package was provided by Pfizer it was first priority for those who had to dig into the analytics and confirm safety and efficacy. This is done by analysts you don't usually hear about. They summarize the relevant parts and draw conclusions that get passed...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Just for clarity, the Pfizer vaccine was invented and in early stage trials before Operation Warp Speed was conceived. The prepayment guarantee for early manufacturing prior to approval was a great way to take risk out of early manufacturing, and the result is months earlier deployment of the...

    I prefer him behind the tiny desk. :) That said, getting the vaccine invented, tested, approved, manufactured and beginning distribution before end of the year is a great accomplishment for the many people involved. Way to go to all involved!

    Now THAT'S funny! I'm just saying the review by CNN didn't go off on what you guys describe as a TDS rant; it was actually a good, sober, fact-based review of the Science article. I'll admit, I only skimmed the Science article briefly so far but will give it a good read over the holidays. No...

    Nice. I would be interested to see video of something moving at night. Is there any lighting at all other than IR from the cameras?

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Some countries we don't trust the data from, like China. Others like Japan and S. Korea did a lot more in terms of changes for isolation; the populations there don't argue when their health officials ask them to wear masks, or not eat out, or gather for worship. Less affluent Asian countries are...

    It's important not to compare Sweden and US, but Sweden and Nordic countries nearly identical in culture and habits. 10x per capita difference in death and illness during the period before Sweden changed course. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    It is the point. If the single biggest cause of death right now (as measured daily) is an infectious disease, it stands to reason you can reduce death, as well as sickness, by not gathering in ways that transmit it. As we have rehashed ad nausea, the difference between a strong response to the...

    At around 3000 per day it is the leading cause of death measured daily. That's not just "some people." Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
