The goal was never herd immunity, at least not officialy, but to "flatten the curve" to not overload the healthcare system. It did work pretty good in the spring when people followed the guidelines. Of course, a huge scandal when Covid entered the nursing homes and the patients did not even...

Here we have (somewhat simplified) 8 persons max in social gatherings, except funerals where 20 persons can attend. That feels like a resonable exception. Have not heard anything about restrictions on fornication sins so far.

So... I ended up going down the Intel route. Got a pretty good deal on an Intel 10850K+ Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero Also got a Noctua U12S (black) cooler. The reasoning: It ended up being a bit cheaper than a 5800X (with a slightly less premium motherboard) + and everything was in stock. I know...

This is almost funny. Trump turning his back on Giuliani + legal team? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/trump-election-legal-challenges-giuliani-b1760780.html

I hope the cat did not sneak out and voted as a dead person (or a dead cat?) That might explain why Trump supposedly ended up with 70 million votes? I also believe I now understand the reasoning and fact gathering process behind Giuliani and Trump cases. ...But they forgot the pen...

Trumps case in PA did not seem to impress the (Republican) judge? https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2810WR

It seems like they have a pretty strong case to me: https://politics.theonion.com/your-honor-i-m-ready-to-present-says-giuliani-pulli-1845716203

Back to normal today. (Although record warm (for this time of year) +15.1 in the South of Sweden)...

I am curious here, if Trump, one of the (soon tobbe not) most powerful men on the earth predicted fraud many months in advance. Why did he not do anything to prevent it (beside of reducing the number of mailboxes in USA?) And apparently Lindsey Graham tried to manipulate the outcome, again...

Good news, refill is on the way. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-talks-ryzen-5000-launch

sedrosken, that looks like a really good plan. :) And, surprise surprise, there seems to be limited availability of the 5n00X. My backup plan is called Intel 10850K, which would also solve my GPU-issue. I will await the Black Friday with great patience and evaluate the situation on that day. If...

I thought this was an interesting read. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/07/trump-defeat-election?fbclid=IwAR1CclbhiiNoiuUrnTayhT3akBO4vzq-t32hm6rNFP9XgYc6LQuJsLjJSsM

I just listened on the radio, where a republican lady from Ohio was crying for her grand children, that they had to live with this liberal agenda for all future if Biden wins (which she thought was quite probable). Is that worse than a russian-style thug regime? And if Trump would win the...

I read there were about 8900 votes from overseas military personel still to be counted in Georgia yesterday. It should give an upswing for the republicans, but on the other side, as I see it,Trump has not been very supportive of the US military. Either way, it doesn't seem to have affected the...

Even Rupert Murdochs media outlets is turning on Trump it seems... No wonder he is having a full on tantrum(p) when everything is going against him.

+10C here this morning, perhaps not in the "HOT" classification, but about the same temperature as a decent summer morning.

Hmm, now the Corona virus have mutated to mink, it might affect the vaccine(s). https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54818615

So I just heard on CBS that the current president wants to stop the counting in PA, and continue in AZ? Is that true?

OK, so I just realised that a ROG Strix X570-E is about the same price as the TUF Gaming X570 Plus (wifi). The first store I looked at has a price difference of about ~$100... So, it looks like the ROG is a favorite for now.

I am looking into finalizing the computer build for my son in time for christmas. It should be able t8 play games in 1440, and to be reasonably future proof in general. Focus is on stability, not overclocking. These parts exists: Fractal design Meshify S2 Seasonic 850W Platinum 1 TB 970 Evo...

I understand, in a democracy it would not be OK to invent different rules just to keep people from voting, or have them (moslly people with darker skin color) wait in line for 10+ hours to vote. But it is interesting to follow the process.

OK, so the United States of America is no longer a democracy? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/08/republican-us-senator-mike-lee-democracy

The message from the Swedish authorities is that we will keep having restrictions for at least another year. And the infection rate is on the up.

If it kills around 1000 persons in the USA every day, I am sure it will dominate both the lives of the deceased and their relatives and friends?

Exactly like the Russian vaccine then? It doesn't really matter if it works or not, or is safe, as long as Putin can say they were the first in the world. Perhaps USA will be #2 (before the election day)?

Trumps campaign is not about facts, it is about speading doubt, divide and conquer. I have seen the inside of the internet bubble that some people are residing in, quite fascinating.

It will be interesting to hear what Trump has to say about Navalny, will it be the first time he will say anything critical about Russia/Putin? (It is now confirmed by three independent different laboratories in France, Germany and Sweden that it was Novichok.) Or did the cafeteria at the Tomsk...

So, the president of the USA gives recommendations on how to nore or less commit suicide, while the dictator Lukasjenko of Belarus actually gives somewhat meaningful advices to his population. I think it is a slightly worrying situation.

Examples of countries where the leadership has intentionally downplayed the dangers of Covid-19: Belarus Brazil USA So, the US President is in really good company here with dictators and populists. Of course, every country in the world have made mistakes.But I can only think of one country...

And why are everyone, including Trump, complaining about China witholding information if it is such a good thing to do? I do not understand.

We have soft water. There hasn't been any maintenance in the last 47 years that I know of, but perhaps we should? I just read the red warning sign at the bottom of the picture, that the safety valve needs some care now and then to prevent the heater from blowing up. Perhaps I should read up a...

It has, I guess they had another view on quality back then. We will see hoe long it lasts, most of our neighbours heaters have passed away. Proof, it got signed off on march 30, 1965: :)

My hot water tank was made in 1965.
