@Taweret I think we should consider doing a tribute to Roger Coreman next week, maybe by voting on one of his monster films?

This was suggested by @CactuarJoe and I second that idea.

so okay people were asking about my headcanon shit

I have a pointless amount of headcanon about this movie. Not the least of which being the IT crowd shutting down everything as fast as they can in order to get the situation under control, followed by slowly picking the pieces back up and putting shit back together.

And when they're doing that they find out that Computer has been fucked up for a while. Like, seriously for a while, and that's why there are big sections of the city which are broken and so on.

So. What was supposed to be happening?

@jonny @moira I think his parents were successful runners?

@moira @jonny

One thing I missed, were all those "frozens", runners that had been captured by the ice robot?

Testing if I can start a #monsterdon thread from here and reply to it on another account without having it show up in the local TL but also have it still show up in the monsterdon feed

@jonny Is that really true or are you joking?

I would make a joke about irony, but honestly, I don't know if anyone actually understands what it is.

And if I did someone would inevitably come along in the comments, and try to explain irony, and even more inevitably someone would correct them, and then really this is just a joke about hubris, which is probably ironic, but who the hell knows.

@RickiTarr Just try describing visual irony

The only way we can adequately manage risk in healthcare in a pandemic with an airborne pathogen is by having sustainable processes & resources in place to cope with a high volume of cases.

Stockpiles of disposable PPE expire & run out quickly, ramping up processes/skills takes too long, & we can’t rely on building infrastructure being brought up to scratch in a hurry.

Airborne precautions for respiratory tract pathogens needs to be an increasing part of our healthcare routine.

@PieterPeach Aren't electrostatically-charged masks and filters supposed to be good for something like 7 years in storage?

allanb,
@allanb@mastodon.social avatar

@PieterPeach Yep, true. Maybe 50 years between major pandemics?

Stockpiles would have to be replaced 7 times. It wouldn't break the national budget, but they might be usable in lesser epidemics.

allanb,
@allanb@mastodon.social avatar

@PieterPeach Yes. But that needs to be kept up with steady consumption for a long time.

There are already a healthy number of people continuously consuming them (medical and industrial), but that has been dropping-off somewhat.

I think regulations requiring them in places like nursing homes and hospitals wouldn't hurt either. Or military, especially Navy, which I often wonder about because not a lot has been said about that.

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

allanb,
@allanb@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr Unpopular. Skipped so many classes I don't know what high school is like, either.

Beijing might see Congress' divest-or-ban TikTok bill "as a pretty substantial propaganda victory ... It would play into Beijing’s hands to say that the U.S. has been talking about free speech for a long time — and using that as a stick to beat China over its human rights record — but this illustrates that the U.S. is a hypocrite ... and that makes our actions more legitimate" https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/23/business/dealbook/tiktok-us-china.html
