No half measures.

Whatd I tell you about posting pictures of yourself online? I swear you never listen.

They have a place at 11th & Walnut too, but I haven't tried it yet.

11th and walnut...in Philly? what's it called cause i pass by there every day and do not recall seeing that name for a resturant

Colton Underwood, former 'Bachelor,' says he's tested positive for coronavirus - CNN

Sorry about the unpleasant truths out there...not like we don't have a serious situation. Don't have to be "nasty" about it though. I think I balance humor with seriousness enough on here but I can understand how this one would strike a nerve as it is doomsday.

Why would Newsweek manage to get not one but several secret military plans and wrote a story about them?

Who knows....could be psyops....obviously though they have contingencies...hopefully they never see the light of day whatever they may be.

Oh man, my eyes are exhausted. i have been staring at Terraria for hours and hours every day. Is that virus still going on?

What is Terraria

I have updated the board every time I have come up for air from the game, but I have only done that like twice since they suspended the hockey season. I'm almost done with it, though, probably, possibly.

I just found these stuck inside my Bugs Bunny biography book. Forgot I did a presentation on him for a college Public Speaking course.
I guess either I lost one pic or ran out of time to put one between the second and third.

This is good:

New coronavirus test returns rapid results, but use may be limited - STAT

But the delay by the United States in implementing the trace, test and treat protocol that has been very successful in South Korea, is a real scandal.

Timeline: The Regulations—and Regulators—That Delayed Coronavirus Testing

"The first coronavirus case in the U.S. and South Korea was detected on January 21. Since then, South Korea has effectively contained the coronavirus without shutting down its economy or quarantining tens of millions of people. Instead, the Korean government has pursued a “trace, test, and treat” strategy that identifies and isolates those infected with the coronavirus while allowing healthy people to go about their normal lives."

"As of March 17, the U.S. had tested only about 125 people per million. South Korea had tested more than 5,000 people per million. Between early February and mid-March, the U.S. lost six crucial weeks because regulators stuck to rigid regulations instead of adapting as new information came in. While these rules might have made sense in normal times, they proved disastrous in a pandemic."

No worries..we are not far from April when it will just go away.....

Isolation day #9 or 10 I guess. Sucks.

Tried to install GTA IV (I know) on Steam, and there are some weirdass changes that have been driving me nuts for the past hour. I just cant get it to run. Steam installs the game -> Steam installs Rockstar Games Launcher -> I try to run the game which immediately launches the RG Launcher -> I dont see the game in the launcher and cant play a thing. Grrrrrrr

I had this problem with the paradox launcher. Unfortunately it was the result of a switch in support to only 64 bit operating systems rather than 32 bit. I’m a Luddite so even figuring that out aged me prematurely. I ended up having to buy a new computer if I wanted to play stellaris.

They’re in the process of moving locations, which I didn’t realize, but it was Spicy Memory.

Ah, the Games for Windows Live issue. They pulled it from the Steam Store because it’s so broken. You tried the suggested workarounds for GFWL?

I like this post mainly due to the use of the word "Luddite"

I have read on Steam that there will be changes to GTA IV because they are trying to cut off from GfWL (happy about that, would be happier in 2008) - so I thought I will give the game a try. But instead, just the two things installed (the game itself and Rockstar Games launcher) and I havent found (google, steam community, my dumb head) any solutions to that... I cant workaround the GFWL because it is not even there
I have always been quite savvy in breaking these things but this is just too annoying

Just get GTA V

 

[Embiid]

I miss that smash mouth hockey....

That was an awesome series...

 

[kudymen]

Just get GTA V

Yeah well thats exactly what lead me to it. I received notification that GTA V is on sale - on the same day GTA IV got broken. So I am a liiiiiiiiiittle suspicious about the timing there. Plus, Czech Crown got a little weaker compared to Euro in the past few days, so GTA V is now a bit more expensive than a few days ago, ergo I am not buying it.

(whoa I really need to go outside already)


Instead, I searched my Steam library for stuff I bought on sale but never played. Right now I am playing Star Wars: Force Unleashed - I bought it because it was so hyped back then. Jesus, Darth Vader is walking so slowly

Given a) I spoke about Venice while the picture is about London and b) it was a meme, I think you're right

I wouldn't fully trust food prep or companies like McDonalds where people are known to work sick. I think that CNN article just played down the risk....who knows how low it really is.

Based on this article....you could have transmission from fecal matter....so it is not just respiratory transmission. There has been evidence of gastro issues with the virus but it is not as prevalent as respiratory. If ordering out I would stick to establishments that are much more conscientious about their workers in general. We know a lot of fast food joints are not..

Experts call for stool tests as faecal transmission of Covid-19 confirmed

He added citizens should be careful about hygiene in public toilets now that it had been confirmed the coronavirus could be transmitted through stool. That was because infected patients had no choice but to touch the flushing buttons and the taps before they could wash their hands, he said.

Professor Francis Chan Ka-leung said those who worked at elderly care centres and had to help people in the toilet needed to be careful. If they accidentally touched the stool and then delivered food, then the elderly residents could be infected.

That series was a year or so after I moved to Toronto. It felt like me against the world.

I lived in an apartment down the hall from some friends. Sometime during the second period they all left my place and went down the hall rather than watch the game with me.

I could still hear the taunts throughout the game. The noise that erupted on the Kapanen hit was deafening.
The silence from down the hall after Roenick's goal was glorious.
