Hi @coffeecup66 ... your link goes directly to a "shockwave flash" file, which is a deprecated (and non-secure) format.

Would you mind editing out the direct link ?

EDIT - thank you

This thread makes me want to get back into weightlifting. I don't know how the arthritic spine and exploded elbow would handle any type of power lifting but just moving weight would be nice and very therapeutic.

Start out light with basics, bench, squat, dead, and stay away from assists.. Don't over rep.. Your body will tell you when it's time to either go heavier, or take it easy on the joints

Weight lifting is good for bone density. Keeps us old guys standing upright!

..and if some SoCal pin head zombie jumps on my back, I feel good knowing I can body slam the guy (-;

Yoga, isometrics is good too, keeps those muscles stretched and joints lubed

Be careful with yoga, it's easy to overdo it. I did yoga for a year and started having some issues/ injuries. Don't do it anymore. Go very light and don't push it if you do.

I've had better luck with calisthenics and exercise bands then weights. Good results with less injury. Those bands are very versatile, safe, and cheap.

I did power yoga for a year. Couldn't do any of that now

Here are the numbers I didn't memorize.




If you do the math, the pores of the typical coffee filter are 160 times as large as a corona 19 virus.

It´s just the shape that stays the same, the fleece/tissue they use for those masks fits FFP3 standards, not Gourmet Intense...:naughty:

That's great!

It really is wonderful to see so many manufacturers jumping in, retooling, to make things that are necessary, that they never made before.

I hope our country never looses sight of that.

Are you sure she wasn't there to rob the place KG?

I considered cutting up one of my home hepa filters at one point.

Joggers and folks performing things that make them breath harder should stay farther apart than 6 feet.

I had to keep reminding my young trainee to stay away. One of those youngsters used to automatic everything and phone apps to start the microwave. No concept of this whole notion that life is entirely different right now, for everybody including him. I asked him if his girlfriend has to remind him to lift the toilet seat or does he have an app for that too? I told him tomorrow I will bring a doggy shock collar and zap his dum*** everytime he gets within 10 feet of me. Hated to be that guy, ……well actually I really kinda enjoyed it. lol

Isometrics are your friend right now burley.

emphasis mine.
Hey fixer... THANKS for the laugh!

Oh man... I am still laughing. I'd LOVE to see that :thumbsup:

Things are crazy at my work Poppy. I'm part mother hen, part rooster. All while juggling a 20 pound bowling ball, a double edge sword and a chain saw during a game of 1 legged hop scotch. My patience got a little tested by my young prodige.

I don't want to do the math. Just give it to me in person, red blood cell, and sports stadium.

0:16 brings us to "influenza", which is a coronavirus:

 

[coffeecup66]

Scale-wise, if a singular coronavirus is the size of a person, a red blood cell is the size of a sports stadium; ...

Your linked video suggests the red blood cell is 80 times greater the size of the "Influenza" virus.

That's a sports stadium the size of 80 humans...

My question : where do I park my car ?

 

[StarHalo]

Your linked video suggests the red blood cell is 80 times greater the size of the "Influenza" virus.

The diameter is 80 times greater, not area, so perhaps a gymnasium; still small enough to fit through the pores on many plastics, but again the purpose of a mask is to catch outgoing moisture.

I don't know where the French park their cars, I'll let some of these friendly truck-driving fellows answer that one..

San Diego county in California changed their law banning groups of 10 and over to include any group under 10 people (with the exception of those living with you). I guess freedom of assembly is suspended until further notice. I understand the reason why(people are dying), but I didn't think it was legal to suspend constitutional rights short of declaring martial law. Is that where we're at now? I really hope this isn't the new normal.

Today's the first day California has had a decrease in ICU patients; you might want to check the statistics on those states that don't feel like "suspending rights"..

I too worry about the apparent "suspension" of the Constitution. It was way too easy to convince us that it's OK to do so. I'm isolating because it's just common sense, not because Big Brother has ordered it. I'm 66 years old so I don't want this virus...they didn't have to strip away my Constitutional rights to get my attention. But that's just me.

Stay safe

Johnnyh, I also don't want you to get the virus. However, if you do, would you mind terribly if I contacted your widow about acquiring some of your stuff?

You laughed. My work here is finished. Good night guys. Stay safe and stay well.
