PotomacBob ๐Ÿšซ

I just received an ad from a cooking magazine, saying here are six recipes for donuts to help you cope with the pandemic.

I like that better than Pat Roberts saying the only ones to survive will be those following his version of Christianity!

For some reason, your comment had me thinking of the televangelist Pat Robertson rather than the Senator.

I was going to say that his version of Christianity, was anyone who sends him money.

Sorry, I wasn't referring to the Senator, but to Robertson. (As usual, I'm too lazy to research the correct names in these quick, spontaneous replies.) :(

Yeah, I was just about to pull the trigger when I googled the name and got back a Senator rather than a televangelist.

An entirely appropriate response to either one of them.

Robertson is one of the prosperity preachers. Send him money and he will bless you so you get your money back ten fold.

Today, if you send him just $100 he will send you a blessing so that your toilet paper roll will never run out.

Technically, everyone is full of shit. This is why the world needs assholes.

Tell me about it, after giving up on the various psychiatric drugs (I'd played with them long enough), I learned that they'd effectively killed off most of my gastrointestinal microbes. Between the week-long constipation, followed by the runs, my body was no longer extracting nutrients from what I was eating.

Undergoing an extensive 'reseeding' strategy (a combination of vitamin supplements and LOTS of Kombucha), I've finally licked that issue, though it's not having any effect on my chronic insomnia.

But enough with my talking' shit. Let's get back to talking about our impending deaths! ;)

Not quite, 'If you truly believe, then you won't have quite so many shit storms!' ;)

Ok, so, follow the recipe for making ring doughnuts, wait until they cool then slide one over your dick, dust with icing sugar and hey presto, a mobile glory hole that'll attract any ladies with a sweet tooth.

Yes, I know you're on lockdown but when it's lifted us girls will be just as eager to sate our frustrations as you guys are sure to be. Hell, you could probably skip the icing sugar...

Yep, the news has been posting rumors of baby booms and increased divorces because of the lockdowns.

Government sources have confirmed that disposable nappies are an effective alternative if face masks are unavailable. However, due to their design properties they render politicians mute...

Industrial size vacuums / dust collectors. In my woodshop, I had a dust collector that used a furnace filter. Shop vacs, if you don't have the collection bag, are liable to send the dust back into the air.

I thought modern HEPA filters were supposed to stop that.

That surprises me.

Mine was a budget buy over 10 years ago and it has a HEPA filter.

I think you missed Joy's point. A vacuum is by definition, space empty of everything, even gases.

A vacuum is a clean as it's possible to get. Cleaning it seems pointless.

As the vacuum of space isn't even a true vacuum - due to various dust particles ranging in size from nanometers in size all the way to planets ... as well as other gases and such - it could use cleaning as well.

Even trying to create a vacuum in a chamber is never completely empty. We can get close - real close - but never a complete vacuum.

And nowadays, with all the satellites being put into orbit, we can no longer even see how dirty it is (kind of like burying the dust bunnies under piles of old magazines). If anything, we need to pull the plug on all these new launches!

Especially if you DON'T clean them routinely!

Elon Musk should hook up with James Dyson to create a launchable vaccuum cleaner that cleans up the Lagrange Points.
They could call it the Dyson Sphere.

I am new to having health insurance even though I am 58 and when I was shopping they all mentioned a thing called a coverage gap for meds where your co-pays sky-rocket. I found it funny they all called it falling in the Donut Hole.

As for prosperity preachers there is Peter Popoff who asks you to send him a one dollar bill and he will bless it and send it back all for a small "Love Gift" of $20.
