You know, I work across the street from WRMH...if I have to fight through Trumptards out there and deal with their unmasked, diseased selves on the trains tomorrow morning (which have been refreshingly empty for months!), I am going to be pissed.

Just FYI, the AMA has no authority over licensing.

They are simply a professional organization.

Licensing is controlled by State Medical Boards.

Just a reminder that Doctor Demon Sperm is licensed to practice in Texas (apparently after fleeing a malpractice suit in another state. You can do that?).

Texas where a former governor declared "if English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me"... then there is Rick Perry...

The virus doesn't affect cogitative functions does it? It did occur to me that Trump's bizarre performance in the debate might be a sign that he already wasn't well. He seemed, well...demented, is the word that comes to mind. Unable to stop talking for a moment.

COVID can affect the CNS directly, but any significant illness or metabolic derangement can cause delirium which is fairly common with COVID in hospitalized patients.

That said, from the little I bothered to subject myself to, Trump seemed like Trump to me.

Actually futures are up, even the market wants him gone.
I don't think the market cares. It has to have a Biden victory baked in at this point. A Trump victory would be the surprise. I don't know where the market's going. I think in the next 6 months the thing that will impact it the most will be how severe the winter is in terms of the pandemic being controlled or raging.

Where are all of the hospitalizations for the other so called positives in his band of corrupt merry men/women? This certainly seems like a BS crazy train ride he's taking us on.
I heard tonight that Christie is in the hospital, on network news on CBS.

The sky is only blue because we call it blue. In fact, humans didn't have a concept of "blue" for millennia. The ancient greeks most commonly called the sky "red" because there was no name for "blue".... mostly because blue isn't a very natural color; it is extremely rare in nature, and for most of human history, could only be reproduced by crushing gemstones (lapus lazuli) or certain beetles (the beetles didn't make good, consistent dies, I think). (it's why blue was traditionally the most expensive pigment for oil painting, and why in the works of the masters and other Renaissance painters, blue is only ever used in the virgin Mary. Exclusively)

In fact, the only reason humans now call the sky "blue," is because they are trained to from childhood. (color-object association translates to novel items but, for whatever reason, association of blue-to-sky doesn't translate unless you are coached to do it).

Crazy!


Many butterflies have blue in their wings. In fact there's a family of butterflies called "blues." They are among the smallest, some are rather tiny. There's one called the Pygmy Blue. Oh, and the sky is blue. Myself, it never occurred to me that blue was hard to make out. I lack the green cones in my eyes, so I cannot see green. I have never seen green in my life. It does not look green... ever. I have never been able to positively say about anything I have seen that it is green. NEVER. AFAIK, it could be something other than green. Now, I've been told that grass is green, but if I say it is, I'm merely passing on hearsay.

Based on your posting history if you said the sky was blue I would have to verify for myself that it wasn’t overcast. You can’t be trusted to identify or convey anything factual.
That makes him very like Trump. I wouldn't trust a single thing that he says to have any value, meaning, or convey factual content. TXhiker, I have on ignore.

Christie has asthma and obesity, he is high risk. Most of the rest are at typical risk per age group, and mostly younger.

If you read that second article, those "blue" animals don't actually have blue in them. It's a trick!

...also, if you read the rest of the everything, uh, the actual point of that post, it's not really accurate to call the sky blue. I mean, that's the entire point of all these posts.

It really isn't "blue."

The progeny were taught their colors, including blue, and where able to identify easily, as kids do, various objects and their colors, without having to be taught: "this flower is red, this flower is yellow, that spoon is blue," etc. They could do it on their own--but when asked about the sky, it was always..."Um, clear?" Or just no answer. I think they weren't coached into calling it blue until age 6 or so, or whenever they went off to kindergarten. (why do we still use the German for that, by the way? Do think think this annoys Texashiker? ...do you think he knows that is a German word?)
There's "color blindness" and I've heard the term "color ignorance." Many colors you hear of wouldn't be identifiable by people with normal color vision because they haven't learned the distinctions, have never had those pointed out to them. I can respond to a lot of them, but many are difficult for me because I lack one of the 3 sets of color identifying cones in both eyes. It's passed on from the mother, the trait, in the genes.

Our frickin local 2 affiliate interviewed her again. She was ranting about how he shouldn’t be sick because he should’ve been on his hydrochloroquine

The sky looks blue because the other parts of the spectrum are filtered out. Isn't there a part of the visible spectrum that if shown while the others are not will appear to a person with normal vision as blue? That's blue! Blue light is shorter wave length visible light. It's not as short as violet, IIRC, which is longer than ultra violet which is EMR whose wavelength is too short to be perceived by the human eye.

I don't know what to tell you man, other than you actually aren't reading the content and understanding what it is telling you, lol. This topic, specifically, really isn't about the color spectrum because as it pertains to animals (your example), there is no actual blue, and as to the sky, it isn't simply about refraction and light scattering that creates what can sometimes be called "blue." (Again, it's one of the few, maybe the only "things" in the world that you actually have to be coached into assigning it a color. Think about that)

Ignore your color blindness for a moment, it's not that relevant to this specific problem (yes, I'm well aware of color blindness and how it works--dad was severely R-B color blind, but also had superhuman contrast abilities, especially at night. He also learned to just assign the slightly ~greyish tints that he saw and were informed as "green," to be green, and the somewhat different ~grey tints that he were told were "red," to red.)

I think there may be a "Science Friday" or other PBS broadcast on this subject out there.

I know, I am getting antsy for new and valid news about the topic. Of course I will be waiting a long time.
My hope is the thread doubles in posts and views.

A new week is on the way: more WH staff/Congress members testing positive, Secret Service outrage, Crazy walk-backs, something something about Rudy...it's all in the pot, soon to boil over.

IMHO this latest stunt of riding around WR so Trump-tards can throw adornment on him will cost him votes,
many have suffered either medically from COVID or financially and this dip-shit can't be serious enough to
skip fan worship for 3-4 whole days?. This, plus the debate he turned into a shit-show is going to come at a cost.
