OMG, I should be going to bed, but here I am investigating this question. My answer is 5 mph, and if I’m wrong, it’s all Mr. Google’s fault! 🧐

Wrong answer, but will answer the question tomorrow when I wake up!

Ok, I have a one question test for you! My late husband told me this was on a math test he had to take in high school and no one got it right!

If you are going down the road 55 mph (88.51 kph) and there is a fly in the vehicle. And the fly is flying from front to back. How fast is the fly flying?

55mph

i’m going out on a limb and say “zero” the fly hit the back window and went “splat”

If only that's how it worked, but any one who spends time at a stable knows these simple truths:

Flies can get into cars/trucks with all windows closed.

Fly paper, while it does trap many, grabs more people than flies

Once into a car, flies will never leave voluntarily, short of setting off an insecticide bomb inside

Smell of said bomb lingers for weeks, but does not deter more flies from moving in.

Is everyone ready for the answer? If so, I have to have 5 or more likes on this post to give the answer!

The common house fly has a maximum speed of 5mph. Other species can get up to a whopping 13mph. However, they don't fly front to back/back and forth. They dive bomb your head, waiting for you to open your mouth. Then when you spit it out, it will shake itself off and then proceed to taunt you by landing on the windshield directly in front of you and fly away when you try to swat them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I may not have gotten 5 likes but here is the answer.

The fly is flying as fast as the fly can fly!

Only the car is going 55 mph (88.51 kph) not the people or the fly!

Howdy, DiC.

I hope everybody is doing well.

I'm almost through a crazy implementation of eleven COVID testing machines. Eight done, three more to go. To do it, I've had to learn some basic IT stuff, because these things are run by computers and all need hardwired internet connections, drivers from the company's website, installing various things onto each machine, and then there's finally the stuff I'm qualified to do - testing to make sure they actually work as intended.

Anyway ... the hope is they are done after tomorrow is over. That's the goal. So long as nothing goes seriously wonky then it'll happen.

On that happy note, I must get to bed.

See you lot tomorrow! Goodnight. 🙂

take care y'all

I'm not sure if it's my addled brain or if Ive reached my quota of information to be assimilated today because I've had to update nearly 300 residents in our directory, but I really don't get this one. I've tried reading it with different inflections, but the pistons just aren't firing properly. 🤔

I think it's more 'live your life now, before it escapes you.' I think.

But personally, I'm an old-school type of guy. I'm not a fan of the YOLO lifestyle that my peers have today. It's because I love myself and my loved ones that I must live responsibly and practically for them and myself. Our nature is to keep wanting for more. So fulfilling whatever we want to do at any cost can be an exhausting burden because it never really ends. True strength is holding back ourselves when the impulse to do something stupid is strong.

Well, things went wonky.

Two of the labs didn't have the appropriate infrastructure required for the hook ups, so I only got one handled today. Though, now I know what is needed for the other two, and I'm working with our IT department on making it happen tomorrow or early next week.

But ... the goal always was to have a testing option available to exposed healthcare workers within ten minutes of any of our clinics. That has been achieved. So I guess that's a little win.

I hope everybody is doing well.

Small steps forward are still steps forward. Now that you know what is needed, the others will hopefully install easier.

don't wait to do what you love .. tomorrow never comes and the past is no place to live

be true to yourself ... it doesnt mean you should be grasping or greedy... but don't put things off...

Hi everyone, hope you are well and getting ready for the weekend.

All well here. Nothing doing as the weather is cold and wet.

Guess I'll be working from home next week. They're doing cleaning / asbestos abatement on our air handling system and, given that the temps are dropping into the 40F', the building will get COLD.
