  1. Right now the ones that are open are basically only open to get a massage and use the lounge area.
  2. I'm wondering how many of these places are going to fold due to the lockdown. 3+ months of no income and Manhattan rent is not a good combo. OTOH commercial real estate is taking a dive so maybe their landlords will give them a break to stay where they are.
  3. Sure you don't have the tracking feature, but I'm surprised as a local you don't try to work the comps system now that every dollar you spend, even for food or something at the gift shop, counts for tier credits. Once you get to a tier the discounts start to really add up. And right now they are throwing offers at people with any sort of status.
  4. Credit score doesn't care about your income. just your history of repayment and balances/available credit, along with some other variables you may or may not have any influence on that have been shown to have a statistical relationship to the probability of default. They know there are plenty of people with credit cards who have other people paying the bills, so they have no interest in missing out on the opportunity to make money by denying those people credit.
  5. People checking their own score does not count as a "hit" - the inquiries that are counted are when borrowers look to process an application.
  6. Women have more active immune systems in general as well. They tend to fight off infections better when they do get them.
  7. Ethnicity helps narrow things down when searching for a specific person, though. I use it when there was someone I was interested in and can't find them because I'm in a densely populated area.
  8. A friend told me Caesars properties are requiring them but out on the Strip it was more like 20%.

  10. Is it just my feed, or is TikTok 80% white fuckboys who are overly impressed with themselves and are under the mistaken impression they know how to dance? Let's just say I never have the sound on.
  11. How many of the gamblers were wearing masks?
  12. We were never given enough time to shower. we barely had enough time to change.
  13. No small part of that is straight people tend to be not very thorough about cleaning their ass. When I would play rugby with straight guys their asses reeked of shit in the scrum. I love rimming a clean ass. A dirty ass - hell to the no.
  14. Calls himself Charles Atlas but looks more like the guy who gets sand kicked in his face...
  15. I just don't think there's all that much transmission just from surface contact. when they say viruses last on surfaces for X hours, they're saying they can detect them with electron microscopes, not that there is enough to actually infect you. Would I go to a studio that was one small airless room where there are people pipelined in there nonstop for hours? Probably in that situation I'd want to be the first appt of the day to feel safe. But a place where it's fairly roomy, they are meticulous about cleaning, and rooms are empty for a while between appointments? I think I'd feel okay about it with masks for client and provider. If it were THAT easy to get it, we'd mostly have all had it already from the supermarket.
  16. I think now anyone can get the antibody test covered under insurance, and the city might also be doing free testing. Worth taking for the peace of mind I would think.
  17. Could you PM me too? Thanks.
  18. Yeah when I see some hot guy in the locker room who's being over the top in his efforts to not expose any flesh I will joke, "Dude if I looked like you I'd be naked out on the gym floor!" ( Usually I think this to myself but I've said it once or twice to guys I had gotten to know...)
  19. I don't have to think China did a good job or is at all honest to think it's not manmade. It's quite possible for it to both be true that China's data is fudged and the virus is not manmade. Why does having a Nobel mean his motives are not suspect? Maybe he misses being the center of attention so he's making up shit. Or maybe he's simply losing his marbles. A scientists's life is not the story of 1000 successes and one fail. It's the story of hundreds of failures, and, if they're lucky, a success or two.
  20. Market forces apply to everything. That doesn't mean the same negotiating tactics are appropriate for everything. I expect escort rates will come down simply because it looks like we are in for an extended downturn. But bragging about it feels like dancing on a grave, frankly. and haggling(beyond one offer) is unseemly, IMO.
  21. Luc Montagnier is 87 years old. You also cited him as saying we can clear HIV as logn ad we have a good immune system, for which there's exactly zero documented cases. Maybe he's just losing it in his old age? Linus Pauling won two Nobels and missed a third by probably a couple of months(he was neck and neck with Crick and Watson), but his Vitamin C claims were pretty much all simply not true. Being great at something doesn't mean you aren't able to have poor judgment ever. If the second wave is milder, it probably means that the hygiene methods people are adopting will make any initial exposure lower, OR...the virus ran through the most susceptible part of the population first, and the remaining cases will be of people who are in somewhat better on average health to begin with.
  22. Honestly I think while I'm gay I'm not totally sure I want a full-time relationship as I prefer a fair amount of alone time. I would probably be fairly content to be the exclusive side piece to a bi guy married to a woman(with her knowledge). I sort of wish when I was younger I'd have had the courage to seek this out openly.
  23. They were actually close to a vaccine on SARS, but stopped because the virus stopped spreading in the population and there was no longer any need - so they couldn't ethically continue human trials with no gain to be had and unknown risk. And there are animal vaccines for different coronaviruses.
  24. No, but most 40somethings who are not actually competitive athletes and look like that are taking something. There's a reason all these "anti-aging clinics" are advertising on the radio nonstop. His saying he would do it "healthier next time" I took as an implicit acknowledgement of steroids.
  25. Its the distancing measures and masks. Between all thise things, the infections that do.happen happen at lower initial doses. It takes time for the virus to replicate in the body, amd it only goes up by a fixed factor each "generation" of replication. Which means if you get a lower initial dose, your immune system will likely have time to generate enough antibodies to either keep the virus in check or at least mitigate the severity of illness, and then your immune system starts killing off the virus faster than it replicates and you recover.
