Maybe mods can create a separate topic. However: 1. I am pretty sure, that if you have proper CMR document, then for a US citizen it is not a problem to go to Canada? Even in Europe it was perfectly OK to go from Estonia to Portugal and back by car if you had proper documentation a la...

So in theory is it already according to law, when the voting organizers (or some special government funded department), provides a la at least one building with couple of servicing-monitoring persons for the entire big city? For example, in NYC - is it possible, that there are no voting places...

Why is it considered some kind of a win that it is possible to vote in the sports arenas? Aren't the voting usually done in buildings that belong to local or federal government? And if you are disabled, live in remote location etc, then government officials will visit your house with the voting...

Copy paste from another airliners related forum; IMHO quite reasonable posts: Nr1: The best thing about a vaccine, quite frankly, is that it will calm people down and go a long way towards reducing the utter hysteria surrounding this pandemic which is what is causing all that economic harm. It...

Had to Google that date :). I was 16 years old, when the <SPOILER> happened. 1997 was pretty far in future at that time. Now at the age of 45 those years pass at almost three times faster :-(.

Isn't that decided in a grand scheme of things i.e in real life by the market and voters? At least in my tiny country all the COVID deaths are published on the media on front pages and all not-so-popular (which do not bring ad revenue) are quickly buried somewhere. I certainly have a personal...

How do you compare the mortality of COVID vs Down syndrome or COVID vs Alzheimer to make a decision which of those is worse? Does it make COVID more serious than Down syndrome or Alzheimer because it is highly contagious? My grandmother had Alzheimer - i would say de facto she was dead about 2...

Does it matter in the grand scheme of things if something bad is contagious or not? My pure hunch, but i guess most of those who have some other serious condition, for example Down syndrome, Alzheimer, Parkinson, some body parts missing, some kind of other major disability etc etc might choose a...

Just my thoughts-ideas-questions. Although there have been cases where a perfectly healthy person has got COVID and died - please correct me, but i guess that only autopsy or full body MRI/tomography/surgery will show whether everything is correct with the body or not. For example, all those...

What is the health or even feel-good benefit of moderate use of pot, meth and cocaine compared to high quality alcohol (good beer, Chablis kind of wine etc)? I would never say to my 8 year daughter, that pot, meth or cocaine is good to try or constantly consume. However, should she feel life...

Sad to see that a city has so many persons who prefer to have a low wage job. Why would any sane company hire anybody from that group? If they could not behave on the street then why should i trust them to perform something useful for the paying customer? Well, HR departments have a lot of film...

Interesting point is that most of trip reports made by Estonian tourists really give max points to their trips in USA. Of course, most of them visit the most popular places (NYC, Florida, SFO, Yosemite, Yellowstone, we even have die hard Moab fan. Looking at the photos they have made i also had...

Ron Mexico, i guess the word "cheer" is too strong. However, as i am currently at the age 44, i guess the USA is not the same is it was when i grow up watching all kind of TV series about life in USA? For example, when i was around 25-30, i thought it would be cool to drive around Miami like...

Good news from Italy: https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2020/06/02/italy-reports-lowest-number-of-new-covid-19-cases-since-february/ We in Estonia also had 0 new cases yesterday. I do not remember well, but i guess that is first time since the end of the February. So lets hope that all over the...

I like the statement by Brandon Tatum: "There’s two type of people in the world. Real people and fake people. They come in all colors.” Although the interview was done before the current situation i found quite educational for me.

Is the "home sweet home" much stronger factor for blacks in USA whose ancestors were brought in as slaves compared to those who live in Africa or middle East? People from poorer regions in Africa and middle east are trying very hard to get to Europe - why the american blacks have not tried...

Thank god i live in country where police officers frequently visit kindergartens and schools, are being good mentors and teach kids about when it is OK or not OK to do this or that. I also advise my daughter that whenever or whereever you are in trouble, in most countries police is on your side...

For those who prefer to read lengthy scientific articles instead of a twitter-spam :-) https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30174-0/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR0BvQ_1KHyBl27nQ_7VnZE-s_75BUsqJG4mAU66pRS3b6zgbJJmqGItGUg...

For some reason i have similar feeling. I was born in 1975, started to watch sports events around '83-'84. Mainly winter sports and around '88 also basketball. Mainly our local team in Soviet Union premier league (12 teams, Estonian team was at that time between 6-12 and got the last Soviet...

It seems that some americans are the only ones in world who take advice mainly from the POTUS, but not from parents or in general brighter relatives and friends. It is not the fault of the president if you are that dumb and drink or eat whatever is shown on news, radio, tv or other media. Or is...
