It’s the only way to be sure to stop Cyberdyne.
Oh, I sure hope so! I have 3 Xience Sierra by Abbot installed, and hope they last a looooooong time. Don’t want to need any restenting any time soon.
The syringes can be pooped out of a blow mold press all day for all I care.
Hmmm.
Mr. Ottowa is going to be very disappointed.
WTF Ireland!

Ireland said fuck all the rest of you if we can’t gather and drink we’re just going to have to solve this whole thing ourselves. Just get out o’ our goddamn way!
It isn’t red bull, it’s red ale that gives you wings.
It’s like a real life, whole world instance of “Don’t make me have to come up there and show you…”.
Also, this thing can operate with people in the room, and at a 3rd the cost of other commercial options (which require the room be evacuated)
Meanwhile, in Russia there were two attempts at reduce alcohol consumption somewhat - in 1917 by Tsar Nicholas II and in 1985 by Gorbachev. In both cases the respective Empires collapsed.
I’m not joking, reduction of alcohol consumption was the reason both Tsarist Russia and the USSR collapsed.
Oh trust me, any government that tried wouldn’t last long here. We can take force majuere, but anything from the government? There have been rebellions for less.
Greatest, most altruistic instance of “hold my beer, watch this” I’ve ever heard of.
Does that somehow make it OK?
So what is your argument? Don’t build ventilators? You just seem to want to contradict me and argue but you aren’t even saying anything.
There was a concern that a major disease outbreak could happen, but it is impossible to to know when, where, and what virus.
You cut out the economic damage part. Both need to be considered.
Because you can’t eat if you have no money and the economy is totally collapsed.
Yes, we shouldn’t build ventilators, bad idea
I’m sure indefinitely shutting down the country will have no negative repercussions because we have credit.
Tell that to their tourism industry.
Yes, that is true. I’m not assuming it’s true, I would like it to be true and I want to find out if it is true. Right now we don’t have enough information to make an informed decision with regards to that, so the least we can do is try to minimize the infection rate. But we need to figure this out soon.
No, of course not. Nobody is saying that either, they are talking about getting car plants to build them.
You must think that I’m Trump’s policy advisor or something. Do you actually have any ideas or do you just like to post ill-informed bullshit?
Yes.
There was actually an expository conversation that took place which contains some of the considerations of making more ventilators.
Thing is, it’s always more complicated to think through it than to just point fingers and say “Somebody needs to do something about that!”.
You’re right though big guy. Somebody needs to do something about that.
Somebody needs to pay for it too.
And maintain it.
And pay for that too.
Just in case.
It would seem to me that we are looking at some things the wrong way. I don’t think temporary high unemployment is going to lead to a massive crime increase or gun toting revolt.
But I just read (been working and actually not watching it though I started Tiger King!) that Netflix was experiencing outages. If Netflix, Hulu, PlayStation, Youtube fail we won’t stay inside anymore. That’s when the crime and unemployment goes up. Airlines might need a bailout and certain industries may need more help than others.
Right now streaming networks, video games, and internet entertainment are the most vital things for our national security. This shit goes out and you expect people to stay in and hang with their family or read books? That’s when the downfall happens. Americans will not stand for that shit.
One way or another there isn’t enough ventilators, so what do you suggest? Dumb jokes and nonsensical comments to pass the time?
Throw some morphine in there and you have an accurate description of my last two stays in an ICU.
Not kidding.
I described it pretty accurately in the other thread, but an ICU is a bridge between life and death. You’re somewhere on it. You go one way or the other, and that’s that.
Pretty nurses and dumb jokes do help though.
I suggest we all stay the fuck to ourselves for a good long while.
Agree
So in NY we have a local company that says they can make 100 ventilators a day and Cuomo is refusing to buy them. He want the feds to pick up the tab. “Waiting for state approval” for a week now.
