  • Hunker Down Diary – 11apr20 (updated 12apr20)

    George Rebane Today is HD35 for the Rebanes.  And all things considered on our ridge top overlooking Deer Creek Canyon and the Central Valley, we are doing well.  We’ve gone out twice now for groceries and haven’t even come close to hitting our ‘large scale emergency’ stash.  We continue to meet online with our respective…

  • Testing to determine population fractions

    George Rebane In ‘Testing’s Tower of Babel’ I promised to inform readers of the reliability of testing in order to determine the fraction of a target population that has a defined attribute.  Today the whole country is supposed to be interested in the extent of the C19 infection, and also the extent of the recovery…

  • Sandbox – 8apr20

    [I again remind readers that the Sandbox is for opinions, insights, and issues not covered in my other recent topical commentaries and posts.  Now isn't this blog a pain in the ass?  gjr]

  • Dropout Derby – 8apr20

    George Rebane And then there was one, but perhaps not quite.  Comrade Bernie bites the dust because he couldn’t motivate anyone besides his clatch of useful idiots to back his campaign, and it turns out that not many of those dolts actually vote.  So left standing, or is it tottering, is ol’ Uncle Joe the…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 8apr20

    George Rebane Today is HD32 for the Rebanes.  Yesterday morning we strapped on our pitifully sparse PPE (masks and gloves) and went to our usual Safeway to replenish the larder – we brought home a ton of veggies, canned goodies, and fresh pieces of dead animals.  The store had only one door open through which…

  • Victor Davis Hanson nails it

    George Rebane Noted historian, American classicist, and syndicated columnist Victor Davis Hanson writes a comprehensive column ‘Corona Meltdowns’ that details the demonic evils of the Democratic Party in this time of crisis for our nation.  He echoes and substantiates what we here have posted and discussed over the years, more frequently since the election of…

  • Testing’s Tower of Babel

    George Rebane In these pages it is always a bittersweet experience to encounter the extended comments of one of our progressive readers who so absolutely confirms their signature attributes, recorded here over the years, and at the same time illustrates their gross misunderstanding of the issue at hand.  Testing for the presence of the C19…

  • Fighting C19 (updated 10may20)

    George Rebane Here are some points about our country’s approach to fighting the C19 coronavirus. The main reason the media reporters and the administration are talking past each other about what C19 response policies to follow or even how to evaluate what’s being done is that no one is astute enough to put their finger…

  • Epidyne – At first blush

    George Rebane As promised, I finally finished the V1.0 version of Epidyne during this enforced C19 self-quarantine, or hunkering down period as it is better known.  The stay at home has allowed a lot of things to get accomplished on everyone’s ‘do list’.  At our house we have not had a boring moment – so…

  • Face Masks – A considered view

    [Dr Hullett is a longtime friend, colleague, and RR reader.  As systems engineers and developers, we have traveled much of the long road together.  He has given permission to publish this personal correspondence.] Wayne Hullett, PhD The coronavirus particles are too small to be seen. A doctor on Youtube suggested thinking about coronavirus particles as…
