taking to a guy at work whose sister picked it up transiting through Dubai. she’s okay thankfully. I’m now at second hand distance, in a few weeks I think it will be first hand. I’m almost half way through my two weeks, it’s very annoying not being able to go to the gym. on the other hand I’ve done lots of cooking and not resorted to delivery yet.

I’m thinking about getting a bunch of aerobics videos or something, maybe some neon headbands and go full nineties. i’d finally managed to get my fat rear end into the gym regularly and now the gym is a place full of moist surfaces that will be a no go zone for six months.

Jonny 290 posted:one of the most darkly funniest things to me is how modern conservative politicians, unlike the old school ones, will sell out for an abolutely inconsequential sum of money. i've thought about that before and i can only assume its because unaccountable money has more utility, ie it's easier to spend 10k in dirty twenties on hookers and blow than it is to spend 50k of IRS audited money that shows up on a statement

getting to do lots of cooking is the saviour of this situation, I made a kg of lasagne and I’ve got goat in the freezer to make some curry goat tonight. I think I’m going to do some reading though old cook books and see what is makeable at the moment. a lot of ingredients can be delivered but we are still able to go out for weekly shopping runs. I miss proper sushi a lot though.

thanks that's interesting. in Australia our universities are massively dependent on foreign students so it's likely that 20-30% of them will go bankrupt, not the same as the US of course. I saw this on Scott Galloway's twitter, it's full time MBA students though so I'm sure there is not a tiny enough violin to express our distress https://twitter.com/profgalloway/status/1253061916039225346 his take is basically that no one is going to pay 160kUSD for two years of bad zoom classes.

DuckConference posted:sure, all of that would massively slow the spread, but I don't see how it would stop it. so far it turns out no country has successfully contained the spread of the virus. china (eventually), singapore, and south korea came close but ultimately failed, and the US government ain't exactly singapore. Australia and New Zealand say hello, both being island nations with decent healthcare and populations who listen to their governments occasionally. then again ask me in three months.

sorry to be the “well here in Australia” guy but here I go anyway- they changed the law last week so that for the next six months our landlord can’t evict us (even for non payment) and can’t increase our rent. however as some sort of weird conciliation to the landlord class I am not allowed to move out of the property either without going through a court process, even though my lease ended a year ago and it’s now month to month. sucks if I wanted to buy a house or something.

yeah no raises here, salary cut for VPs and above etc. they are still hiring but at a much reduced rate. they are firing people but in that quiet piece by piece way - you find out that a team of 20 erp developers in Poland got axed one week, then 10 BAs in Colorado etc.

my grandpa went to Egypt in WW2 and never said a thing a thing about to my father or anyone else. he came back and spent the rest of his life running a nursery and giving plants away because he didn’t like to charge for them.

he also did the electrical wiring in their house which was destroyed by an electrical fire a few years ago so the nursery thing is probably best.

Sagebrush posted:don't be dense; nobody's talking about commuting in gridlock. going out for a drive on a twisty road through a pretty place (or a ride on a motorcycle, or a sail in a boat, or a buzz around in a plane) can be inherently fun. some people like operating the machine. some people like the speed and acceleration. some just like to move around and see things. if we transition to 90% remote work after all this I might as well go full stupid and buy a caterham or something. probably sucks for groceries though.
