It didn't take an engineering degree to see that. lol I had someone who bought a Sansui G5700 receiver (80 wpc) from me. A couple of years later, gave him the same amount in credit towards a Sansui G8700 receiver (160 wpc) that cost him a lot more than the 5700. I asked him if he knew what we was getting with twice the watts.... 3 more db. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 2 minutes ago, BigStewMan said: yes, you’re right. couldn’t the House and the Senate adopt their own rules saying that a proposed bill could only pertain to a single issue? Then, how will they handle close cases? It's not relevant! Yes it is! No it's not! Yes it is! I guess they'd have to bring it to a vote. 😐 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since some are practicing that, it would have to be a math model to show what it 'might' have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 i saw something that said the House’s bill contained stuff about voter registration and colleges not being allowed to ask students their citizenship status. yet, those that vote against it will be accused of having no empathy for those affected by the virus. with a little stretch of the imagination, one could view this sort of thing as blackmail. I’ll give you what you need, but you have to give me what i want. sometimes i can’t believe the world we live in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 10,000,000 test kits, you can detect many more cases. This does not tell you how quickly it spreads. It tells you how quickly they are able to administer tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look at just the death rate and claimed that 5,000 people will die every three days, then we are on a 60,000 people dead in one year track... but that math isn't what it is. It's not a linear line, it's an exponential curve. The 600k is if it were a linear line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, but keep in mind the reported cases depend on the testing rate. If you want to relate the deaths in proportion to total cases, you will not be able to do much with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the looks on their faces if just this one time, while people are freaking out and have been issued “stay in place” order, to look out to see seven or eight hundred thousand people standing out side the capital building demanding they do their jobs, and right now. Things would get very ugly, very quickly with the point being made - we are sickened by each and every one you and what a perfect time to say - You’re Fired 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
