[00:01:10] <Bytram> The New York Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal are all print media. Then there are outlets like CNN, NBC, CBS which are [primarily] television media. Then again, there are radio stations, too. Would those be "Medias"? And if not how does one distinguish between the different collections vs a group of ALL of those collections?
[00:01:29] * Bytram needs to take a break, so no rush on the reply.
[00:02:51] <chromas> CNN is one medium.
[00:03:17] <chromas> NYT's one. So together they're media
[00:03:38] <chromas> Except each one has multimedia
[00:03:51] <chromas> So I guess it's mediasums

[00:20:06] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: hope your day went well!
[00:20:31] <AzumaHazuki> kind of? i'm aching in weird places and am getting too tired too fast, but am breathing clearly at least
[00:21:15] <Cascade> Getting enough sleeps?
[00:21:54] <Bytram> breathing is good!
[00:22:22] <AzumaHazuki> most nights yes, some nights no.

[00:23:04] <Bytram> has been raining here for a couple days, though the barometer has been starting to rise.
[00:23:19] <chromas> Ah oh
[00:23:26] <chromas> Bytram is under increasing pressure
[00:23:29] <Bytram> low barometer == feel old bones and aches and things
[00:23:54] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, i need sunlight and blue sky or my circadian clock stops
[00:25:32] <Bytram> I'm not being entirely facetious when I wonder if sunlamps and web cams could help?

[03:26:23] <carny> i don't think 100 billion is a huge sell off but i also don't think this is the last we've seen of the dumping
[03:26:31] <carny> imagine that
[03:27:03] <carny> you print a few trillion dollars out of thin air and suddenly the rest of the world doesn't like dollars as much
[04:08:04] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Automated Tool Can Find 100 Zoom Meeting IDs Per Hour - https://sylnt.us - automate-your-work
[05:50:46] <FatPhil> dollars are still the debt-paying tool of choice, so the deflation-before-inflation we're seeing does make sense.
[06:28:03] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Tesla Beats Expectations with Strong First-Quarter Delivery Numbers - https://sylnt.us - business-is-business-and-business-is-good
[07:15:27] <FatPhil> "While other reports suggest social unrest could soon erupt in the country, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte made it very clear on government media on April 1 that police will shot any citizen defying the public health order to shelter-in-place."
[07:20:15] <janrinok> ~gday FatPhil - I saw that on the internet last night but it wasn't attributed to a source. I wasn't sure if it was an accurate report but I have now seen it from other sources too
[07:22:40] <janrinok> 'Is that understood? Dead. Instead of causing trouble, I will bury you' - Not in the slightest bit ambiguous!
[07:26:47] <FatPhil> It's a terrible thing to say but I actually admire his openness and honesty on this single matter.
[07:27:36] <janrinok> looks like a bot has died
[07:27:47] <FatPhil> Whether this makes the general population feel good that they have a strong leader that gets things done I don't know
[07:28:26] <FatPhil> the masses do like a strong leader, historically
[07:28:57] <janrinok> well, I suppose it is better than a wishy-washy ambiguous statement that their public behaviour up to their own interpretation.
[07:29:04] <FatPhil> Stalin got a whole load o' more stuff done...
[07:29:13] <janrinok> lol - go Stalin!
[07:29:37] <janrinok> that leaves their*
[07:30:08] <FatPhil> worse than ambiguous is perhaps clear one way, followed by clear contradition only weeks later.
[07:31:05] <FatPhil> e.g. CDC's feb 29th facemask advice. And almost everything that's come out of the WHO.
[07:31:43] <FatPhil> the photo leading this article scares me: https://www.nytimes.com
[07:31:44] <systemd> ^ 03Opinion | The Religious Right’s Hostility to Science Is Crippling Our Coronavirus Response
[07:32:40] <janrinok> every time he does something - it just makes matters worse
[07:39:20] <FatPhil> Did he shake hands with every single person that he met in a hospital that contained covid cases?
[07:39:26] <FatPhil> BoJo's special
[07:40:47] <FatPhil> Oh, surgeon general, not CDC per se: "Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus"
[08:29:02] <chromas> Shooting citizens sounds like a great April Fools Day prank though
[08:33:41] <chromas> FatPhil: the photo in that article looks like a bearded Elon Musk on the left.

[18:24:33] <carny> lucky for humanty a few people have been warning that all ages are vulnerable and should have been taking it seriously from the beginning
[18:24:59] <carny> otherwise the death toll would be far greater in young and healthy people
[18:25:41] <janrinok> very true - but there are more spring-breakers in Miami this weekend.
[18:26:55] <carny> sounds like a good place to resume above ground nuclear testing
[18:27:07] <carny> might save more lives in the long run
[18:28:17] <janrinok> I hope we don't discover that, like cockroaches, the virus can survive nuclear explosions.
[18:29:24] <chromas> The virus can divide near-infinitely into smaller fibers just like asbestos
[18:29:51] <chromas> So when you nuke it, each one will become a billion more
[18:29:54] <FatPhil> I've not looked into the behaviour of this bugger, but what I've skimmed past so far implies that it weakens your immune system, which is why the comorbidities are so important. A sickly 5-year-old's got the wrong lottery ticket.
[18:30:47] <FatPhil> Apart from one 55-year old, I think all our .ee kaputniks were >80 (there's always one bastard bringing down the average).
[18:31:09] <janrinok> the youngest to die who didn't have any known comorbidity was 13 years old in the UK
[18:31:36] <FatPhil> thank you for including the very important word "known" in that.
