I have heard there are some planes that only have 6 people on them not including the staff. How creepy would it be to basically have a 747 to yourself?

10 years ago, I flew on a C-17 with only 5 or 6 other passengers. Along with 5 metal boxes, 4 of which were draped with American flags.
It was a somber flight.

For an idea of what a C-17 will hold:

There are times when it is hard not to conclude that we, as a species, are just too stupid to survive.

Canada succeeded on coronavirus where America failed. Why?

The article suggests that, in many ways, Canada's political system works better than ours.

No real surprise there. I've never trusted their assurances you couldn't get it from food. Anything we've bought from outside has been something which can be thoroughly reheated...

i think it probably does in at least a few ways

Not sure that article was necessary to validate the hypothesis vis a vis our political system

It seems like Canada's version of the Republican party is alot nicer than America's version.

It seems like Canada's version of the Republican party is alot nicer than America's version.

It is, although that's a low bar to clear. In fact, until the 1990s, the primary party of the right was called the Progressive Conservatives.

It seems like Canada's version of the Republican party is a lot more sane than America's version.

FIFY

That's not true, for more than one reason. Mardi Gras fell near the end of March and the incubation period can stretch out. Besides, it's like the ripples spread out from a stone in a puddle. A lot of the people walked away from the celebration with silent infections, didn't show symptoms and infected their family and friends. Then - explosion. It's not just you. Most just seem to have trouble with geometric progressions...

I have no problem understanding the projections. I didn’t realize Mardi Gras lasted until the end of March. Can’t say I pay it much attention when it ends/starts, etc.Thought it ended much earlier.
