Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Wait a minute (or as DS used to say, "Waymaninit!") You mean the sweet little "Waddle Tots" are now wild and crazy? What happened?

They are still sweet.....they are getting some beautiful feathers coming in now too.
They are terrified of me.
I am not scary....I move slowly and talk softly to them...I bring them food and fresh water.....yet they freak out and try to run away.

Okay. Pictures or it didn't happen!

So scared. They need taming. I am putting them in their run again today. I need to add another shade cloth as it is going to be HOT today.

Zahara de los Atunes, near Cadiz, used tractors to spray more than 2km (1.2 miles) of beach with a bleach solution a day before Spain allowed children out of lockdown for the first time.

Environmentalists say the move caused "brutal damage" to the local ecosystem.

You don't fool me for a minute, Mr Grumpy -Butt! You know you loved it! Young ladies love horses like bees love honey, and I bet you didn't mind THAT much!

What? 20 somethings with tight britches, small tops, cowboy boots, bouncing up and down rhythmically with their long hair blowing back.
Na I haven't really noticed.

Challenge accepted. Next trip to the store I will be looking for some good organic cheese

Shout out @ me with your thoughts. I would never have believed it had I not tasted it for myself. But what really hit home was how much better I felt (and still feel).

So this might be a bit tin foil hat like, but, if you wanted to get a lot (potentially everyone's) DNA, how would you do it? What if you wanted to start cataloging the population? It could be put to "good" use! This information would be priceless. We already know ancestry websites sell your DNA (been documented), you think the gov't won't?

You know people, especially in the USA, would never ever submit their DNA if you ask for it. You make it their idea, you must make them "want" to give you their DNA. And what is the best tool to herd flocks?

Conditioning and fear.

They are offering free testing here now, no appointment needed. Come one, come all! Let us "test" you (and take your DNA and do with it what they please).

Now that's some creative thinking!

I notice you're from Colorado does that have anything to do with that line of thinking?
What do you think the government would want everyones DNA for or what would they do with it?
I've spread some of mine around in my youth and don't really care who has it.
I ain't committing any crimes so no worries there and I don't really think anyones gonna want to clone me so whats the fear?

I have no idea what you mean, lol. I'm a little slow, not actually from Colorado, and assuming there must be some stereotype I don't know about which you are referring to? Or maybe because there is a big military presence here?

Colorado is an interesting place to an outsider. One one hand...Home of Focus on the Family, megachurch owners (don't forget home to many other "religious compounds" in the woods), large military presence, NORAD, and a number of extreme right. On the other hand, there's this massive population of "commie hippies", who drive BMW's, buy Apple products, and smoke joints while talking about the man holding them down types.

I have read/seen on news Colorado has the highest rate of college degrees per capita. Have also read it is the highest percentage of independent voters.

What an interesting place with so many dichotomies!!!

What do you think the government would want everyones DNA for or what would they do with it?

Likely sell it. We have to admit the govt isn't that smart to know what yo do with it. The military or private business on the other hand.

Do not underestimate what someone can do with data or the unknown. I don't know how old you are, but if you are 35-80 then you have experienced changes in life that were simply unfathomable, just look at phones for example....Operator dialing phones, to self dialing, corded, cordless, answering machines, giant car phones, smaller car phones, cell phones, flip phone, smart phones, etc. All in one person's lifetime. The speed at which we uncover things keeps accelerating as we learn, and learn how to use, technology and data.

So, as an example, using your DNA and information might be for simple things like letting insurance know you have certain genes which make you "predisposed" to something, which means you pay higher rates or maybe can't get any coverage. The "what if" game for this one could get really fun!!

After all, when is the last time a big company used information against you? Or manipulated the system for their benefit and the consumer's detriment? Rhetorically....every. damn. time. lol.



My fingers are in many things. Technology is one of them and this stuff is amazing. It's freakishly crazy what I can do (remember, I'm slow) let alone really smart people.
