Get creative.

Thanks to Ontario paternalistic liquor laws, you must sell it with food.

Sell a six pack and one peanut.

I'd order a few peanuts from you.

guys a very serious question for input from your side.

how much would you be willing to crowd-fund a trial to protect health care workers from covid-19 disease - based on this concept?
https://foreignpolicy.com...-health-care-workers-bcg/

(and do you think that this is something the general public would be willing to support?)

thank you for your feedback.

- MaximusAurelius


I would not fund anything that was not proven. This is not proven.

Colchicine is the latest drug being tried

I suspect they will find a drug that helps the symptoms and makes the virus not nearly as deadly.

I assume you didn't read the article or didn't understand my question.
the crowdfundign would be for the trial to test the BCG vaccine.
(same as the Montreal researchers to test Colchicine - apart from the fact that a vaccine would prevent instead of drugs treating people already being ill).
in any case, thanks for the feedback - it helps understanding how people react on this ..

I forget how they do it honestly. I think the doubles get diverted for use in other food products, and only singles end up in cartons of eggs. Maybe caker can tell us.
- Zezel


Usually you can just tell when collecting because they are almost twice the size as all the other eggs. If it's gigantic compared to the rest, it's probably a double yolk. Likely in the grading station they have more technologically advanced ways, like using light or something to see slightly inside the eggs, assuming they bother doing anything that fancy...

God only saved one person at Easter and that was his son so he was kind of biased. I am going to save a whole economy. I am greater than God.

Missed that it was for a trial. Better actually read it more carefully.

Grocery store observation this week for me at work. Even though 8-9 in our store is for seniors only, they still come all day anyway. I'd say half the daily sales is from seniors. Most of our locals still come shopping every day, which I find weird since your exposing your self 7 times more then just shopping once a week. I also havnt seen a child in the store in over a week, and its mostly husbands instead of the wives doing the shopping now.
Here's also a strange thing, we have at least 5 people in there 60's that work there and all have being given the option to stay home and isolate. All have turned it down and are still working and this is knowing they will make less then what the government will pay out. Weird or is it just me....

I bet a big part of this for Duhnald is, how long can the Trump organization be on lockdown before it goes titties up? Does anyone think it's so exceptionally well run that it can endure? Or is actually a clusterfrank that is in debt out the ass?

And the bailout says Trump and his family can't benefit, which you know for sure they'd be lining up to do if he weren't President.

So a lockdown may mean Trump goes bankrupt (AGAIN) and loses the election. His entire narcissistic false self is at stake here, I bet.

There’s a process called “candling” which basically involves holding the egg up to the light and seeing through the shell. Put a 100-watt bulb in a small box with a hole in it slightly smaller than the egg, then place the egg over the hole, you can see the yolks.
This procedure is routinely done with eggs, which is how boxes of double-yolk eggs can be offered. Although the chance of a double yolk is only about one in a thousand, young hens are far more likely to produce them.

They’re going to open up county by county, state by state. I think they’re looking at polls to decide how to do. My guess is that he has even more to lose if he loses the election and statute of limitations doesn’t run out. A bunch of prosecutors have to be sitting on a lot of bad Donnie stuff. He can not afford to lose this election.

He won't lose, think of all his support from people of Chinese and Mexican descent.

. Don't ever get caught price gouging. We have been warned, huge fines. Not just stores but individuals.

He's in a jam. Maybe he should give the virus a savage nickname. Oh wait, he already tried that. Hmm. Can you nuke the virus?

Ok Max, I’d love to see this stuff widely available and helping and if I thought a go fund me project would fill some important hole I’d definitely participate. Big questions though about scope and how such a project would fit with governments. Also would want to understand the proprietary issues of who stands to gain. Is this funding that would result in a gain for a corporation not pulling its wait. I’m sure there’d be a lot of other questions that would need to be sorted out. That’s why these kinds of projects fit more easily with “let’s go buy so many Xs for someone in need”. Simple and clean.

Lol

I read a detailed piece on his support among various groups in various areas, and trends. He is NOT popular with the brothers lol. I'm convinced that he is quite (frank)ed at this point.
