Yes, no, maybe....I don’t know, can you repeat the question...

The resemblance is uncanny.

The morgue has only so much space to perform autopsies, and I would imagine that MORE of the deceased are getting autopsied in the wake of COV19...instead of going directly to the funeral home. For example, my father recently passed away (cancer), he was taken directly to the funeral home. No autopsy was done...as cause of death was directly known.

LaRue is awesome!!! Did ya get Dillo Dust??

My Morse code is rusty...but I can polish that up if there’s good $$ in it!!

What’s good for us is good enough for them.

What, are we getting into a bidding war?! $500/hour....hold fast and steady! SOLIDARITY!!! Those liberal bastards like unions...let’s give em a Union. International brotherhood of COBOL programmers union!! Solidarity, brothers!!

What, are we getting into a bidding war?! $500/hour....hold fast and steady! SOLIDARITY!!!

I’ll take the time to re-learn it...for $500/hour programming time.

I’d re-learn COBOL real quick for the right price!!

Hey there, all you COBOL programmers!! Phil Murphy wants YOU to volunteer to help fix NJ’s unemployment insurance system! https://josephsteinberg.com/covid-19-response-new-jersey-urgently-needs-cobol-programmers-yes-you-read-that-correctly/ That language was outdated when I took it in college in 1985!!

Good news!

I think it’s more likely that caseless ammo will overcome the problems that polymer cased ammo is trying to solve. Although caseless has its own issues too.

It will be interesting to see how the lockdown changes the murder rate in big cities. I wouldn’t think it would be THAT significant of a change...I still see that the fine folks in the city of brotherly love are still killing one another with frequency. This judging by 6ABC news app... RATE of change will be curious to see, and how Philadelphia police department spins the data. It will also be interesting to see if/how MVA deaths change statistically in terms of x deaths/thousand MVAs. I tend to think the rate will stay the same, but overall deaths will drop, simply because of less overall traffic. Statistics can be FUN! We could make this into a rather fun thought experiment!

Howdy and welcome aboard!! As a friendly PSA to a newbie, DON’T try the meatloaf....

Holy hell!! I’m glad you got it back! Makes for a cool story in the aftermath though.

He wasn’t wrong!! Data is very very cool...but it can be manipulated by bias, incorrect analysis, bad math.....many many reasons and factors!

Not to be a dick....Your data is wrong, I’m afraid, because your math is incorrect. Day 95....95 days x 24 hours in a day = 2280 hours NOT 1140. You seem to have used 12 hours in a day. You are probably also working on your first cup of coffee! Even my initial look was wrong...you know...first cup of coffee and all. Calender year...say April 1 2019 to April 1 2020 (using your number of 498 deaths per calender year gunshot deaths in Chicago) means: 24x365 = 8760 hours. 498/8760= 0.0568 deaths per hour. 98/2280 = 0.043 shot per hour so far this year. By your numbers (corrected for the proper number hours per day), the gunshot rate death in Chicago has fallen so far this year.
