The Tip Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 3 hours ago, mack_turtle said: there is no smoke-filled room full of Jews, Illuminati, Antifa, Deep State, Q-Anon ... Have you been in every smoke filled room in the world? No? Then you cannot state the above as fact. I doubt there is one too, but the way things seem so orchestrated, there might very well be. Study history. Groups that want to enact change attempt to create chaos so that they can take power and "save" the population from itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 So orchestrated.... Yeah, and they faked the moon landing.... This is Schroedinger's conspiracy. The government is both so inept that it can't get anything right but also so all-powerful that it is able to pull off something of massive scale that involves hundreds of thousands of people who all need to keep their mouth shut and they do it for years.... Or, you can choose Occam's Razor - the simplest solution is probably the right solution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheX Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 LOL, I didn't realize we were doing the moon landings too. BTW, they happened. Wait, did someone say the virus isn't real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm more curious where you got your information that masks can retain the virus. Is this conjecture, or is there research behind it? Still waiting on this one, @TheX.

Most people use the same mask over and over, so any virus that it blocks is just built up and being spread every time they put it on, take it off, adjust it, etc. 10 hours ago, TheX said: Seriously? The deadly virus is on all surfaces, why not a mask? Especially with hot, spitty breath. Wait, you're kidding... You almost got me there. I'm not sure you understand the concept. You do realize that confining that hot spitty breath before the spit enters the air is the entire reason for wearing the mask right? It traps the airborne spit particles before someone else has the chance to breathe in your hot spitty (potentially virus laden) breath. Those particles don't just poof out when you put it on, take it off, adjust it, etc. You can't infect yourself with your own mask, so you can reuse it a few times and wash it. It's for airborne particles that someone else could breath, nothing to do with protecting yourself from surfaces. But since you seem not to understand that, it could also help protect you from surfaces too as it makes it harder to lick doorknobs. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. I'd rather draft a biker on a trial for a half hour (outside of course) then have a 10 minute hallway conversation about the latest TPS forms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had to nope a pass during a TMBRA race due to some BO. The Peddler guys must live on skunks and stink bugs or something. Back to the discussion, my neighbor said he saw a 40 person peloton all maskless riding around. Brilliant asymptomatic low T bunch there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen we really need your buy-in to move the ball on the new TPS format. I don't care for it either but I've got every sales VP in the region and the analytics planning committee breathing down my neck. Lets close the loop on this one and I'll scratch your back next time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I actually worked with the guy that the character was supposed to be based on. Wife never believed the story until she had to listen to the conference call in the car once. bonus: he said “What do you have for me Homey” and she lost it. We were muted and she said “that is so condescending for a 60 year old white guy to be calling his subordinate ‘homey’.” Then I had to break it to her that the guy’s name was Houmi. fun evening. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notyal Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have to go to a stupid wedding in stupid Houston this weekend. Stupidest thing, they've already postponed the wedding until Feb., but they still wanted to get married on this date, so this was supposed to be a small family gathering. It's now over 50 people and has been relocated to a country club. They didn't postpone the wedding. They are just having two weddings. It's my wife's brother, so we are pretty obligated. I think I might just stay outside and cough a lot so nobody comes over and talks to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
