I think that explains how I got COVID in January 2020 while overseas in Vietnam.

Orofecal describes a route of transmission where the virus in fecal particles can pass from one person to the mouth of another. Main causes include lack of adequate sanitation and poor hygiene practices. Fecal contamination of food is another form of orofecal transmission.

Other single-stranded RNA viruses such as noroviruses are transmitted primarily through the orofecal route, either by consumption of contaminated food or water or from direct person to person to person spread.

I was vegetarian for a few years and vegan for one. I'm pro-life and never understood how so many others could be high and mighty about saving the life of a baby chicken but care not one bit about a baby human. The only explanation I could think of was they're the environmental vegans, not the empathetic toward all life vegans.

It is a good. In fact, it's a great idea in a big enough community, but there are quite a few logistical issues.

  1. You need all the same age or ability, or you need multiple teachers.
  2. You need small class sizes, 10-12 students.
  3. Teachers must be able to teach multiple subjects--people skilled in sciences and math tend to demand higher wages than what can be offered from teaching 10-12 students.
  4. You need a facility.

The most reasonable way to make something like this work is to have very invested parents as the teachers. Parents willing to give up wages in order to give their kids the best education.

Liberal Logic 101:

I'm running for City Council right now and as my Asian wife went around to help collect signatures to get me on the ballot she was often asked, "Is your husband a republican?" When she answered yes, she was told a handful of times, "He's a racist!"

This is just so freaking idiotic. Make these poorly managed cities and states borrow money from the responsibly run states. That will transfer the coastal wealth back inward to the midwest where we know how manage our money.

As are 18 year olds. The left's logic is an 18 year old isn't old enough to understand the responsibility and consequences of student loans. How can they expect them to understand the responsibility of informed voting?

Yes, he's clearly stumbling through the teleprompter speech, but it's absolutely hilarious.

The key is that the school has a reputation for successful graduates or that the candidate himself has an extensive portfolio (at least in the case of software engineers).

It's much cheaper for an employer to discriminate potential employees based on which university they attended than to look deeply into each individual as an individual.

No because companies will say "Ok, we will only hire from these schools."

While some companies will say that, there's a real economic cost to that type of discrimination if the potential employee is the best available candidate, and so many companies won't care which university a person attended.

Exactly right! And props to you! My good friend just started collecting signatures last week to run for City Council in Lincoln, NE in our April primary (6 weeks away), and hopefully the general election in May. Start from the bottom up!

Just like the transcontinental railroad used only American iron and steel, Made in America is the real path to a united nation.

I'm collecting signatures as I consider running for one of Lincoln's at-large City Council seats in April/May. As I consider my options, I'm half-seriously thinking of campaigning on one promise, primarying Sasse in 2026.

After all this, I've determined I want to run for office, but I'm not qualified to take a run at Sasse in the primary, and I'm not confident I could be in 5 years either. I've explored the state senate route or the city council route in Lincoln to get started, but I would need to "move" to one of my properties (or buy a new house) to be eligible to run in 2022.

Are there other routes that would be better? I imagine I'd have more luck in the House when Fortenberry is ready to move on.

OMG!

I'ts the same two guys, too! It's 100% the exact same van coming back with more ballots. This corroborates the witnesses who said they had a "Chicago Warehouse" nearby that Dominion was using.

The van showed up at 3:30 and showed up again an hour later. Unclear from video how long they were there, but highly suspect that the same two guys could come back so quickly with more ballots.

What about the money I paid in tuition? What about all the hours I worked to pay for my college? What about the lost opportunities I incurred by attending my local state school instead of attending an Ivy League because I didn't want to take out student loans? What about the loss in income because I didn't get my degree from MIT?

This is punishing conservatives, plain and simple.

So you're saying we should switch to latex masks. I like it!

The next step after that is a personal oxygen tank and scuba mask.

You're right it's not partisan, but no current member of congress will vote to approve term limits unless they know there won't be enough votes to pass. Who would vote to end their career?

Term limits, congressional salaries, etc. should all be set and determined by the people, not by current members of congress.

Don't blame his rhetoric. People didn't vote for him because the media convinced America that Trump is a racist white supremecist. That's the issue. The media's blatant attacks and disdain for Trump convinced millions of Americans he's the worst person in the world.
