Did you ever visit a bazar?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Yeah - they are a sort of low-tech "Wish dot com": full of stuff that looks like a bargain but is going to be cr@p when you get it home!

You don't get to take home anything without dramatic haggling and ending up paying far more than the junk is worth.

By the sixth time you try to walk away, the price has normally come down!

Only two times if you loudly exclaim "Help! he's trying to rob me!"

I actually got good enough at haggling that I was offered a job in an Arab shop in Jerusalem's Old City by a shop keeper. It's a lot of words and body language and knowing what something's worth (to you) - and often fun.
In a weird way, it's a better way to buy and sell: both buyer and seller were content with the prices if the deal goes through. How often do you buy (online/brick'n'mortor) and feel like you overpaid?

The last time I commented on something like this, I got in trouble.
With that said, yes, the manure continues.

Simples.
Avoid mentioning presidents, parties, and different politics/religions that might turn into any type of political/religious blame fight.
Instead point out ridiculous stupidities that makes even the directly affected people shake their heads.
When in doubt, don't.

Yeah, my post was rhetorical, but thanks anyways.

I actually guessed as much, but my response wasn't meant just for just you.
I had a thread getting locked yesterday because of some people not being able to keep it down.
The tread was meant to be informative and could've started some interesting discussions. But didn't.

In other words, don't talk about presidents, or prime ministers for that matter, because almost everything that they do can be construed as stupid.

I was reading about this.
Apparently, what they do is they use it to find people, so that they can whip them off into confinement, where they're not allowed any contact with any other people for an indefinite period, except for the guy who once a day shoves a tin plate of bread and water through a flap in the bottom of the door.
There's some confusion as to its effectiveness, though, and it's thought that there must have been some mix-up in the AI's training regime, because, rather than coronavirus infection, it seems to detect Israeli passports.

One can hope their leadership, especially their supreme leader, rely upon it to guard their own health.

As long as it gets support, a sensible and manageable medical regime and looks after itself with plenty of sleep, good food and avoids triggers that virus will be fine.

So, the Government isn't following "the latest scientific advice" at all. It's just following the plot (and quoting huge chunks of the script?) of this 2011 film.
I recorded it back on 26th March (ITV2) and got round to watching it last night. It is genuinely scary how close this is to predicting our current situation. And it's quite a watchable film.

Have you played "Plague Inc"? it's pretty scary how close that is to the current situation as well.
In that, you are the plague, and your "job" is to kill the entire human population. One of the easiest ways is to start with something that shows few symptoms, does no real damage, but infects like crazy. Once you have it well and truly established, start it killing as fast as possible. And the later countries close borders, ban flights, and so forth the easier your job is ...

I know this is going to be huge shock, (and big disappointment) to my fellow loungers, but I don't play computer games! Having worked in IT for 40 years, the last thing I want to do with my spare time, is go anywhere near a computer - apart from the odd visit here at the weekend.

With the rare exception, no computer games for me either. And never anything fast-paced. For that, there's tennis.
