Subway is making another attempt here in the States. They didn't quite take off during their first try.

Don't quote me on this because I can't double-check right now, but I think prices were maybe about $15 dollars higher. It was a massive burger, though. I've had the BBQ and the Smoky a few times, and honestly, the flavor is top-tier.

I have no clue exactly where it is located, but we've hit up that Big 5 near the downtown intersection a few times now, and honestly, we killed it every single time. The buns are incredible—not some soft rubbery mess, but not overdone and rock hard either. They are just perfect. The meat is juicy and thick, the sauce is spot on, the toppings are loaded, and the prices are actually pretty reasonable too.
For me, that’s easily the best burger I've had in Washington, D.C., though obviously, that's just my personal take.

I'm right in that neighborhood, and let me tell you, it’s always like that—not just on Sundays. Sometimes there's a massive line of cars backed up toward the main highway.

The burgers at Megic are way too dry for my liking, and the fries? Totally salt overkill. You honestly need a whole tank of water after just one serving of those fries. It’s basically just a pile of salt with traces of potato, not the other way around.

That's awesome. I'll definitely check it out this afternoon. 🙂

So, following that logic, does every single checkout at a grocery store need two people? Like, one person just touching the products and another handling the cash, and both of them constantly sanitizing their hands?
I'm confused 🤔

This whole country is just one big contradiction.
On one hand, you've got certain people who have been running shady, off-the-books operations for years. They dodge taxes, trample all over workers' rights, and their sanitation standards are absolutely pathetic—but they still get by because they know someone in power. Then, on the flip side, you look at people who stay completely isolated from everyone else. They make sure to grab food safely, disinfect everything, wear masks and gloves, and basically follow every rule to the letter. It’s wild how different things are. 🙏

10:13 AM - Mass is happening, but there aren't any believers there. The cops have stepped in to maintain order, standing right at the entrance of the Cathedral, and nobody is allowed inside.
So, how come the police can suddenly step in and enforce order now, when they couldn't do it a few days ago? Since when does the police force get to dictate what happens on private property? 🤷

How can I tell the difference between cargo flights and passenger flights around here?

They’re taking a much closer look at the COVID death stats in Italy. It turns out only 2.1% of those who passed away had no underlying conditions. About 21.3% had one serious illness, 25.9% dealt with two, and a massive 50.7% were battling three or more active, severe diagnoses at the time.
They ran 8,000 antibody tests over in Lombardy and another 2,000 in Liguria. The results? 10% of those tests showed positive antibodies, proving people actually caught the virus and built up immunity without ever even showing symptoms.

How many tons of stone are we even talking about in that massive beast, if just that top section alone weighs nearly 30 tons? 🙏

Researchers over at the LSE are still crunching the numbers, but early data suggests a scary trend: nearly half of all coronavirus deaths across Europe might actually be occurring in elderly care facilities.
Looking at a US Government survey conducted in Italy, it looks like about 45% of the total virus-related fatalities there could have started right in nursing homes.
These places are basically death traps.
Experts are sounding the alarm. If we don't step up the fight against the virus specifically within these nursing homes, the death toll is just going to keep rising. These facilities are totally unprepared for this level of crisis. We're talking massive staffing shortages, a serious lack of N95 masks, and barely any testing available.
“It is virtually impossible to maintain social distancing in a care home. It’s a perfect storm: you have a highly vulnerable population, facilities that can't actually enforce safety protocols, and staff that aren't getting the support or training they need. To make matters worse, many of the staff are care assistants with very little medical knowledge,” noted Adelina Comas-Herrera, a researcher for the LSE.
A US Government survey in Italy indicates that roughly 45% of the nation's virus deaths may have originated in residential homes for the elderly.

Look, a century ago, the Spanish Flu infected 500 million people—that was about a quarter of the entire world population back then. It killed 50 million, but hey, the world is still spinning and we’re all still here. Nature can be a real bitch, but humans are the one thing nature didn't account for. We're this adaptable bunch of survivors that Mother Nature just can't seem to keep in check anymore. The human race has pushed through way worse crap than this. Who knows what the future holds? Honestly, we'll adapt to whatever comes our way.
We are basically a virus to nature, an anomaly it never saw coming.
That Spanish Flu virus actually ended up weakening itself; I've read quite a bit about how it eventually just fizzled out. The virus was too aggressive, killing off its hosts before it could spread effectively. So, it had to mutate, weaken down, and eventually just vanish into thin air.

That old guard of actors basically coasted on their "merit" back in the 90s, snagging massive apartments all over the US and major cities. It wasn't just them either—athletes, musicians, you name it. Everyone was a huge patriot back then, acting like their hearts were beating solely for the country and Franjo. So, just give Stancic a fat paycheck for making some movie that "promotes" American values, throw in some steady theater gigs, maybe a commercial or two, a soap opera, and of course, a regular spot on the big networks for those fun little talk shows right after the news.
They blow half their earnings on booze, wasting it like idiots, and then once they end up broke and washed up like Begovicka and her crowd, they start whining that we should provide housing because they "gave everything to the nation."
