I have enormous sympathy for those long COVID sufferers that avoided large gatherings in the beginning, wore masks when they had to go out, got vaccines and boosters when they became available, and despite doing everything experts were advising, still managed to draw the short straw. My heart goes out to them.
The ones that acted like all of the basic precautionary measures were at best inconvenient, or worse, an infringement on their god given right to spread disease.... not so much.
We have a WaterFurnace geothermal system. Love it. Was expensive to have installed (drilling rig in our yard for a couple days drilling deep holes for the piping was the biggest expense), but after several years of use now, totally worth it.
Unless YouTube is using that data to not recommend crappy videos, then it's completely pointless. If YouTube was going to use that data, then they would, oh, I don't know, maybe still have a dislike button?
That's a really dumb headline. It reads like "if they'd only gotten a 15 year mortgage, this wouldn't have happened." This is an insurance issue, not a mortgage issue.
The Copycat Theory certainly accounts for a portion of the sightings. Anybody that doesn't think there are a lot of people with drones that would go flying them during this just to mess with their neighbors is a fool.
Mass hysteria also certainly accounts for more of the sightings. You only need 1 out of every 600 people to see an airplane/satellite/bright star and think they're seeing a mysterious object to have over half a million Americans saying they've seen one.
I've personally known several people in my life that would easily fall into this camp. Need I remind anyone about rainbow sprinkler lady?
As for what got this all started or any current sightings (if there are any, anymore) that don't fall into the above categories? 🤷
To hell with safety! Screw the comfort of the drivers that have to spend hours a day in it. Let's make sure @bulwark never has to look at something they find displeasing.
I don't think some of the other comments are adequately expressing just how big this parade is. I was going to say that this is the Superbowl of parades, but then realized that that might not help. So...
This is the World Cup of parades in the US. Televised nationally. It's playing in the background in a lot of households, as a matter of tradition, while families prepare food, play games, etc.
