USSR thought using nukes for civil engineering was a good idea.

They have a radioactive crater lake to show for their efforts.

Hmmnn there is an adventure in there somewhere
Project Plowshare in the USA was also being planned.

The figured they could blow a new pass through the rocky mountains, and wait a few decades and it'd be safe to travel.

Air test ban treaty did that in. Which I think was inspired by finding radioactive isotopes in baby teeth?

USSR actually did it.

There's photos from the 50s of US towns near test zones covered in Fallout.

Pretty much, though some researchers are now suggesting the asymptomatic may be almost non-contagious, and “asymptomatic spread” may in fact be “presymptomatic spread,”

I’m dubious of this in the light of the US Navy’s issues with the virus, but THEY had the complicating factor of tight, enclosed living/working space meaning even the mildly contagious had a greater chance of infecting others.
...and apparently, someone misspoke.

At this point, it looks like the good doctor was trying to make a distinction between presymptomatic and asymptomatic, and that the former may be more common than the latter. But as they clarified, as a practical matter, that’s a distinction that doesn’t make a difference to the general public. IOW, it matters to epidemiologists and virologists researching Covid-19, but not so much to those crafting public health responses to it.

Busy day. Organized post Covid D&D and post Covid meal out. Granny came out with us for the first time since February, my nephew who is 6 managed to eat an adult sized burger.

They did a steak special to get punters through the door. They're doing steak, fries and a drink for $10 USD so most people ordered that.

They've had the we might have to close speech from the boss but they were busy tonight. Waitress was amazing so I upped her, tipping is rare here but she went above and beyond.

Chicken Wings NZ style

Chicken poppers with habenero sauce.

And I did dessert as well. Patriotic duty to spend money.

Banana loaf with butterscotch sauce and icecream.

Would suck if they have to close. It's one of our favorites. May have had a few to many beers and I scored a free IPA.

3 course meal for two with 4 beers and a hot chocolate came to around $65 USD for 2 starters, 2 mains (steak)and 2 desserts.

Eat, drink, be merry and don't think about things to much. I know nushing Colonel Hogan!!!!

Nothing to exciting but a 2 minute clip of my hometown under lockdown couple of months ago.


Even McDonalds got closed. I avoided the CBD at this time went to the supermarket once or twice a few weeks later.
