The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yeah, my two favorite COVID deaths were two dudes, may they rest in peace.

The first poor guy was in a motorcycle crash. He had COVID when he was hit by a car and died, so naturally the hacks wrote it down as "a COVID death".

Then there was the guy admitted to a hospital with something like a 0.4 BA level. The normal legal limit is .05 or something depending on where you live. This dude literally drank himself to death, but because he had COVID...it was a "COVID death".

You can't make this up. Unless of course you incentivize it, as the government did during the pandemic.

Pointing out dumb stuff like this got you called a conspiracy theorist back in the day on PA, that hotbed of science knowledge. LOL!
