THE VIRUS



World Health Organization guy explains everything you need to know about surgical masks...seriously.

But wait, there's more.
"With the spread of the new coronavirus, many people have rushed to stores to buy face masks. Some even put canine face masks on their dogs. But does a regular face mask really protect its wearer from the virus? Unfortunately, it doesn’t.
If it's a regular surgical face mask, the answer is "no," Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious-disease specialist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, told Live Science.
A more specialized mask, known as an N95 respirator, can protect against the new coronavirus, also called 2019-nCoV. The respirator is thicker than a surgical mask, but Schaffner doesn't recommend it for public use, at least not at this point."

PEOPLE DOING SHIT THEY 
PROBABLY SHOULDN'T DO


They resigned to support his agenda. He can’t be president again so he’s giving power to Prime Minister after he’s out. He will be PM then. 

So we now have China AND Russia with dictators in charge. Buckle up, Gentle Readers, the road could get bumpier.

I think I've shown you this before as an example of abysmal situational awareness.
But I'm still trying to figure out if the people are on the pier or on another boat.

Intense 'Microburst' in North Carolina Rips Open School Gymnasium Without Warning
A microburst is similar to a tornado and can cause comparable damage, although it's generally less well-known. These short bursts of extreme weather, usually lasting 5 to 10 minutes, arise from downdrafts of sinking air in a thunderstorm, and when this powerful column of wind eventually hits the ground, it can spread straight-line winds over 100 mph (160 kph).

Someone guessed that the ooze is just the cement used to secure the blade expanding under the heat. I don't think so. I think that is the grease that has seeped in over the decades of use.

PERSONAL DATUM


Everything I see like that I weigh how old my grandson needs to be before I can show him. We don't want him burning down the house.
 ^^D1^^



My brother used to spend a lot of time searching for valuables with a metal detector.  His richest harvests were found in grassy strips between the sidewalk and curb. People pulling their keys out of their pockets and purses drop a lot of shit. And furthermore, it drops into the grass immediately and is lost from sight.
^^D2^^


You all know that but when I read it I remembered Bitburg AFB in Germany. It housed the F102 Fighter Interceptors - the first mack 1 fight we had. Its job was to intercept a squadron of enemy bombers before they crossed the border, then shoot all of them out of the air with one air burst nuclear weapon.
 That is one of the exact airplanes whose pilots I would debrief after their missile runs. The Bulldog on the tail is a dead giveaway.


I spent erroneous time in Goose Bay, Labrador.
When I got there I was not greeted by a sponsor. When I asked where he was I was told the unit I was assigned to had moved out a month prior. I asked if there were any nuclear weapons on the base and was assured that there were not. I knew I was not going to stay.

But it took three months to get orders cut and while waiting I swept a mile-long tunnel and shoveled snow from the front door of our barracks EVERY MORNING.

Puzzle time = assuming we need to remove one car to allow all cars to continue moving forward, then we need to remove #3 or #6. I don't think there is enough information to make the correct choice, assuming only one can be correct.

If fewest moves then - Removing #3 allows #2 and #1 to pass. Then #4 and #5 can pass. Then #6 and #7 can pass.

Alternatively - Removing #6 allows #3 to pass. Then #2 and #1 can pass. then #4 and #5 can pass. Then #7 can pass (since #6 is removed).

Removing #6 also allows #3 to pass. Then #2 followed by #4 and #5. Then #7 could pass, followed by #1.

Again, I don't think there is enough information given for this puzzle.

The knife / torch photo is how the sterling silver is parted from the stainless steel blade and shaft , that is indeed an adhesive.

Scott #3 in reverse is it
How do you remove #6...crane, fork lift?

Ralph Henry said...

Boy, you almost got the numbers correct - and I do appreciate it. But without the section letter I don't have time to look for it.

Scott James said...

Anonymous - the puzzle time doesn't say "move". It says "remove". Had it simply said "move" I would have stopped at my choice of car #3. But "remove" implies that I can simply make any car disappear. I didn't use a crane. I was granted God-Mode with the word "remove".

As I mentioned in my comment, there was ambiguity ingrained in this puzzle.
Information was missing (my opinion). Just the way my brain works I suppose.

Thanks for the feedback and chat, Mr/Mrs Anonymous.
