Since everyone is supposed to shelter in place the gas prices are still dropping. Central Illinois best price I've seen is $1.59 a gallon. How's the rest of the country doing?? $1.40 at the station closest to me. $1.29 - 1.35 if I wanted to drive a little. |

And loses... HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Serves them right for picking a fight with a cruise liner. It is pretty funny! The cruise ship was built for ice-breaking so the hull was super reinforced! |

From elsewhere. Shared here for possible dabate.
Somebody earlier this week posted a link to a Salon Magazine article from April 2nd 2020, written by Chauncey Devega.
It deserves to be repeated.
Visionary science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov signaled to the Dunning-Kruger effect with his famous observation in 1980: "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"

 This is my beverage of choice for the duration. It's one of the few beers that tastes the same from a can as from a bottle or tap, and my local supermarket seems to be able to keep it in stock. |

Malcolm,
I have to agree I am not the greatest fan of beer in a can. When I go to my local private pool I can only bring cans of beer not glass. That is the only time I have cans of beer.
