    Health Problems

    Daughter of a friend of mine keeps having the buttefly rash and shows positive on her ANA test and they still won't even bring up the word Lupus. Lupus is the first thing they test for when you have brain lesions because there's a test for it unlike much of the other junk. Even MS.

    Those people aren't homeless because they are put into work camps. Also a shed 4x4 made out of cardboard is not a home. Places that don't subsidize the homeless lifestyle in multiple ways don't have homeless or very few of them. I haven't seen a homeless person in years. Too hot in the summer...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I'd say with Blizzard is more a case of trying to milk things done long ago when those people are no longer with the company and the entire industry has changed and their inter office shit has changed.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    If you make 1000 shitty games before you have a good one I would say past performance has been a good indicator of future performance. If a guy worked for me and fucked up 1,000 things before he got one right or even one beyond right he would not be a good employee.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    He's been mostly dead lol. He's kind of fallen off the cliff for a while. I guess the virus shutdown didn't help but his other problems. Didn't think of him as dead, just mostly dead. I like the headline though, using the jaws of life. I got pulled out of a wreck 30 years ago using those. I...

    I keep reading deals about FB lately, don't own it anyway. About the difficulty they have selling ads now. Some emails or messages leaked between some employes there about how bad it was for a company to spend money on FB advertising. I can see that.

    scleroderma. Basically eliminate everything possible under the sun it cane be, then maybe. Would account for the brain lesions since it's much like lupus and that it does that which is why they work hard to relimate Lupus first from MS. The skin pain, the elevated heart rate and breathing...

    I don't know about Dallas and such. I haven't talked to the one person I know that lives there in a few days. In Baton Rouge they opened up curches so people could come in all afternoon heated and save their firewood/propane/generator gas.

    Yeah apmex sets it on gold value. I look from time to time over the years. They put a premium to get a certain year and you pay less to get "random year" and such. Also I think there's a small premium for coins that are just rolled out by one of the mints. One demand settles out it's just based...

    You can only shift power so far. The adjacent states are in the same shape but it doesn't make news because they are a much smaller state. OK was -17F. LA lost major sections of power they are still working on. The nuclear plant outside New Orleans, River Bend just north of Baton Rouge, and the...

    Still wondering about the co-op power in TX works. Two different people on two different co-ops had a total outage of 20 minutes total. I had co-op when I lived there. The good part about it was the office/yard for all the workers and repair stuff was 15 minutes away.
