There was a possible Ebola case this morning in a Oklahoma City hospital (Oklahoma City is around 100 miles from where we live). After testing, the patient didn't have it, but that's still a bit concerning having something like that happen that close to you...

ebola isn't that contagous, and is very easy to be treated according to my science teacher. so I wouldn't wory about it as much as the media, even though it's already in des moines.

I dunno how accurate romch's statement is, but it isn't spread via air, so.

It's spread through bodily liquid contact, from what I heard. So, like, don't kiss strangers.

I don't consider it completely true. After all, if it's so easily treated and not very contagious, why such a massive fuss? The flu and cold viruses are quite common, quite contagious, and rather easily treated and yet you don't see those people transported in air tight containers by people in Biohazard suits.

Also try to avoid their blood, sweat, saliva, urine, semen (if applicable), and quite a few other things. Perhaps the most crucial thing to keep in mind is that you don't have to come into contact with the person directly to catch Ebola.

I don't think I'm at risk. Why I won't say.

Some music industry news that will interest a few people around here: Damon Albarn, the co-creator of Gorillaz, is "in the process of reactivating Gorillaz for a 2016 release", according to an article about a recent interview with him.

Rooster Teeth has been bought out:

Meg makes this sound like good news, but I'm not sure... Will it be the same Rooster Teeth that we all know and love, will there just be some new stuff with the good ol' stuff, or will it be changed dramatically?

I looked up Fullscreen on Wikipedia and from what I can make of it, Fullscreen controls a number of channels in the same way Rooster Teeth has channels of different content. In my opinion, it seems management will change, but that'll be it for the most part. Maybe a renovation or two of the building, maybe another new building, maybe new equipment and software. I find it likely there will be new staff dedicated to editing and uploading videos to allow an increased production schedule. Probably more Achievement Hunters, or more appearances of the minor ones, to allow them to keep up with that rate. The only content change I foresee is they won't be joking/complaining about having to edit the videos later.

Ferguson, MO. has turned into hell on earth tonight...

Ugh... From the way you described it, I can only guess that the court ruled the officer not guilty...

Riots shooting looting and setting buildings on fire

What! Why haven't I heard this on the morning news playing in my mom's room!
