haveblue posted:yeah contemporary vr is not sci fi artificial reality where you could not notice yourself starving to death. it's playing video games with a thing on your head and no harder to tear yourself away from than video games without a thing on your head. just slightly more annoying practically although there is nothing more terrifying then playing a game in VR and feeling your cat brush against your leg

here's some cool good news https://hackaday.com/2020/04/02/fda-says-ppe-can-be-reused-after-trip-through-shipping-container-decontamination-system/ turns out you can put n95 respirators into this machine that blasts them with vapor phase hydrogen peroxide, and it sterilizes them without damaging the masks or their functionality so they can be reused. you can do it up to 20 times. comes in a shipping container so you can just load it up on a truck and drive it to a hotspot.

im 40 with a compromised immune system and cardiac issues. There is literally a 10% chance that I will be dead within the next twelve months. i can't ride my motorcycles or do anything I enjoy right now, because if i'm out on a bike and wreck, they're going to let me die on the sidewalk because there are no ER beds. I won't miss this stupid, hosed up, garbage, failed world.

Sagebrush posted:In San Francisco the water comes straight from the Yosemite valley and it's so pure they don't even filter it. Just add chlorine and pump it into the pipes. People here are still going nuts for the bottled stuff. a buncha pages back, but I don't remember the water in SF being that good. but i was definitely in SV recently and the water was terrible. i scoffed at my hotel charging for bottled water but then when i tasted the bitter, over-chlorinated stuff coming out of the tap, I was tempted. does the peninsula/south bay have the same water supply? i remember being like, man this would be hard to get used to if i ever lived here

We're all feeling limited and inactive and it sucks, but there isn't much we can do about it while doing our part to limit the spread. Stay indoors, work out, find a sun beam to lay in, and don't feel guilty about disconnecting. We have months to sit inside and read the news, you won't miss a few days.
