^^All of this is why McConnell is pushing to exempt companies from liability for infections caused by on the job contacts. Don't go back to work? Fine, you get dropped from unemployment. Go to work & get sick? Too ****ing bad. Unless you have sick leave to cover your time off, you're not getting paid. Next in line, you're up...

Wasn't sure where to put this. It's an interview with a co-founder of meal subscription service Blue Apron and the CEO of Cooks Venture, which raises, processes, and sells heritage, pasture-raised chickens. It's his take on some of the problems with our meat supply & breeding animals. He explains why there was a hit to the meat food supply chain when the processors shut down. Towards the end he talks about animal breeds & pharmaceuticals with some pretty graphic comments.
I spent a lot of time working with meat processors (slaughterhouses & downstream food companies) so it was an interesting read for me. Confirmed some things I was thinking.

I've got some chicken and skirt steaks marinading along with some onions, bell peppers and poblanos for fajitas on the gril grates tonight. Fresh made guac in the fridge. Thinking I'm going to go 4 grill grates up and 2 flat side for the fajita veggies vs. a grill basket I normally use for that. I'm not sure if its quarantine, getting old or a combination of the both that has me excited for this already.
LOL ... yeah, doing the same type of food prep with the excitement on this end, too. It's the highlight of the day for me: planning, prepping, cooking. Wife loves it cause she just asks "what's for dinner?" every night. I try to have an appetizer for dinner so we can sit on the deck/patio, listen to music & sip a ****tail.
I made my first spring rolls last night with bean thread, raw spinach & shrimp. I forgot I had the rice wrappers & saw them when I was digging around for something else. They turned out pretty good. I'm going to scour the net to find some other options for the rice wrappers.

Holy crap, that’s astounding.
The one good thing here: IF they can get state unemployment they will also get the $600/wk PUA payment. I know that's a big IF but they would be making more at home than actually working.

Grilled shrimp & baked potatoes for Mother's Day dinner. Cooked the crab cakes in the oven with a side of caprese salad.

Nice!
Burgers will work well.
Chicken thighs work really well for breaking them in. Bacon should work too.
It's crazy how much hotter the grill runs with them. An unintended consequence of that is that you'll use less propane.
It looks like your burners run from front to back, (mine run from left to right).
If that's the case, you will need to separate the panels, by removing one of the grates, probably the expansion grate, to accommodate indirect grilling. That's because they spread the heat evenly when connected, even if the burners aren't all lit.
If you leave the grates connected, the heat will be spread evenly acrosss them. With your configuration, separate the grates, and you can fire up one side and indirect grill on the other.
Are you using your grillgrates on your smoker when smoking meats/fish or are these primarily used for searing foods?

That's good to hear. I heard that used car prices are going through the roof. Especially on trucks.
if you work where I think you work I know your used car manager James.

Trump and some top aides question accuracy of virus death toll
I think deep down we all knew it was only a matter of time before Trump started calling the death toll "fake news". States start to open up, deaths spike, Trump says the media is lying and the deaths aren't real, his followers buy it and Republicans say nothing. Bloody hell, this is going to get seriously bad.
Add to that - they've already turned Fauci & Birx into the boogey-people who don't know anything about viruses.
They're making videos with quacks & distributing it to try & discredit Fauci. And people believe it.

The Last Supermoon of 2020 Arrives Thursday. Here's What to Look For.
It's your last chance to see the moon show off this year.
Supermoons are a lot like Oreos. By the time you get to the last one in the package, you may have had your fill. Moreover, some part of your brain is telling you there will always be more, but that's not guaranteed to be the case. Also, they're round. Can't overlook that.
Well, we're at the last Oreo in the supermoon package. It's been a good run. There have arguably been four straight supermoons in 2020, but the full moon on the night of Thursday, May 7, will be the last full moon supermoon of 2020. It'll actually be the last one until April 2021. With a few in a row, you might feel like you've had your fill, but it's last call on supermoons for a real long time.

At the store I go to, they have plexiglass between the cashiers and the customers, all employees are required to wear masks, they have markings on the floor as to where to stand when in line, The first hour the store is open is only for shoppers 60 years and older, They have a limit on the number of people allowed I the store at one time, they wrapped the debit/credit card payment machine in plastic that gets changed every hour, and about 75% of the shoppers are wearing masks. But there are numerous times when you're definitely within 6 feet of someone, it's almost impossible to avoid.
But everyone is REALLY courteous lol...never heard so many people say "After you", "no, after you, I insist" in my life.
I have found this to be true only at grocery stores. We went to Lowes on Sunday ~8:45am. About 50% of the people had on masks. We passed a mid-50s couple not wearing a mask as they were standing at the customer service counter. While my wife was looking at paint samples, the guy coughs into his hand & then proceeds to walk toward a rack holding small plants for sale for Mother's day. Of course he picks up 3 or 4 of them before walking back to the counter where his wife/girlfriend was standing. I told my wife we needed to get the furnace filters & GTFO.

I think you're a bit off in the generations suffering the meltdown. I'm not seeing a whole lot of 55+ people in those protesting groups. I've never seen a Boomer in an anti-vaxxer protest video. We remember standing in line at the local school to get the sugar cube Polio vaccine in the early 1960s. Polio was an epidemic in the US in the 1950s.
To me, most of the people in these protests seem to fall into these groups:

No way. **** him. He gave the huge speech about how he wanted to 'look them in the eye' to defend what he did. Straight up **** him. Phony ass christian ****.

Had to get a prescription refilled today. I get in line (car #2) at the CVS drive-thru. Wait a bit & then a bit longer. Finally, the woman in the car in front of me PASSES HER CELLPHONE to the ungloved hand in the CVS window. Which she promptly carries into the prescription area. I blow a gasket & wife says "What's wrong?" I tell her & pull out of the line and leave.
People here in RVA (west) are starting to not give a ****. SMFH...

Well, the IRS web page is still telling me "we will update this page when we have scheduled a payment date".
But my credit union says the IRS put the money in my account today. They consider it "pending", because the transaction is dated tomorrow.
Your tax dollars hard at work. The IRS system is horrible.
My mother-in-law passed away October, 2019. Her 2019 taxes were filed in January. We checked the IRS site yesterday based on an earlier post in here. She's due to receive a check - or we need to provide the correct direct deposit account (which we declined to do). I'm guessing we'll get a check mailed to us sometime (we used our address to file her taxes). Not sure what to do with it if we get it.
Edit: Anybody here filed for the PUA (Pandemic Unemployment Assistance)? If so, is the amount prorated somehow or is it a flat $600?

Interesting read...
PARIS, Texas (AP) — Barely a week ago, rural Lamar County could make a pretty good argument for Texas' reopening on Friday.
Only a handful of the 50,000 residents here, right on the border with Oklahoma, had tested positive for the coronavirus. None had died. The mayor of Paris, Texas — a pit stop for drivers passing through to snap a selfie with the city's miniaturized Eiffel Tower — had drive-thru virus testing in the works, just to give locals peace of mind. Some wore masks but many saw little reason to bother.
Then an outbreak at a nursing home turned up over the weekend.
Now at least 65 people are infected, and everything has changed. A courier drove 11 hours through the night to pick up testing kits and stores are second-guessing reopening as Lamar County becomes a cautionary tale of the fragility of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's plan to get Texas back in business faster than many states. And on the eve of every retailer, restaurant and movie theater being allowed to let customers back in the door, Texas set a single-day record high for fatalities Thursday with 50.
“We don’t know what it’s going to do here,” said Taylor Wright, owner of Aden Ann's, a women's boutique in Paris. Word of the sudden outbreak at Paris Healthcare Center, she said, shelved her plans to reopen over fears of exposing her staff and family.
“We don’t know where it’s all spreading," she said.
The whiplash in Paris from healthy outlier to overnight hot spot illustrates the balancing act states are taking on as they begin relaxing public health restrictions, particularly in places with Republican governors, who broadly support President Donald Trump's determination to get the U.S. economy back up and running.

Yep..once people discovered chicken thighs they've pretty much become the same thing as breasts. AND the price has probably tripled in the past 5 years.
