A few MAGAs actually had the guts (alas, no brains) to bet cash!
David Brin, CONTRARY BRIN - 11 hours ago

The scenario they are betting on? That a dozen Democratic *mayors* - with no power over election processes - overcame Republican executive, legislative, judicial, federal and state authorities perfectly, without a single leak or slip-up.

There is some research to show that higher humidity levels can help fight the Coronavirus in your indoor spaces. Op-ed: Humidity can aid in the fight against COVID-19 | News | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health There could be 3 reasons for this: Studies suggest that 1. higher humidity can enhance the body’s ability to fight off infection; 2. that the coronavirus decays faster at close to 60% relative humidity than at other levels; 3. and that drier air can lead to greater numbers of tiny coronavirus particles that travel farther and penetrate deeper into the...

In purely martial terms, posing missile, gun, and torpedo threats from many points of the compass from as many domains as possible—from the surface, the depths, and aloft—would compel a ship’s beleaguered defenders to cope with more challenges, perhaps, than they could manage.
