Nope, I've been full time from home for years now and since I work on projects that are planned far in advance there hasn't really been any change to my workload.

I did. For 30 years. Until I moved 3 times with way over 1000 books each time. Fun fact, the Kindle Paperwhite weighs next to nothing and moves 1000 books in my back pocket.

I resisted the whole Kindle thing for years, but except for a very few rare circumstances, I can't see going out of my way to accumulate a ton and a half of books again and lugging them around from apartment to apartment when the Kindle exists. Plus I can't properly read paper books in the dark.

Sorry PO, this is one I can't agree with you on.

I'm in the same boat. I have a room full of bookcases already, plus boxes of books that we don't have room to shelve. There are a handful of authors that I will still buy physical copies for and the rest are ebooks now.

Frankly I'm surprised they haven't covered them in RGB lighting

Most in the Netherlands tend to have atleast one supermarket, so no, they are definitely open.

One of the malls near me has a supermarket, but since it has a separate entrance they can stay open even though the mall is closed.

If your floors are clean then there's no reason to wear shoes inside. It's really stupid to wear shoes on carpet though.

And if your floors aren't clean, maybe you should clean your floors instead of just wearing shoes.

I don't where shoes at home but my wife frequently does. I pretty much never take my shoes off in another person's house though.

One of the major downsides of this virus is that we'll all have to see a lot more of DPsx7.

And that is why 'ignore' exists.

People don't realize how long it takes for human trials for anything remotely serious.
You /really/ don't want to fuck up this vaccine, even if it's being sped up.

Yeah, 12-18 months for widespread availability was what they said in the early articles talking about the vaccine trials.

I haven't paid the least bit of attention to how close people are to me when I'm out.

I believe he should be applying in CA, since that is where he was employed, but unemployment is one of those things that varies between states so he is likely going to have to do some research.

It can vary greatly depending on the vehicle involved.

They were in a rush to catch up to Marvel and didn't want to spend the time establishing the individual characters.

State B, County A.

The top 5 counties are all in Alaska....I think they have a bit of an advantage since there are more people in my county than the entire state of Alaska.

All of our Dennys closed years ago.

Our company has had work from home for close to a decade now and they've been expanding it to more and more roles over the years.

This thread went in an unexpected direction.

I still haven't figured out why my company's office is still open, since we are definitely in a category that should be closed based on the list released by the state. They have released a lot of internal communications regarding meetings and travel, working from home when possible, but they never mention why the building isn't closed.

Things like this really do bring out the worst of us. If only these people could have their hands removed for it.

Indeed it does- https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020/03/23/virus-frauds-spread-preying-on-medicare-recipients/

So toilet paper is the new Catcher in the Rye?

Yes, but I work from home anyway as a project analyst.

I really liked the first one, despite the fact that it was a bit of a mess, but I never played the second even though I own a copy.

All of the ones near here are closed. One originally announced they were going to stay open, but there was some backlash and so they decided to close as well.

There is a township of Allegheny in....Westmoreland county! Not Allegheny county!

Actually, I lied. The township is Upper Moreland.

Oddly there is also a Westmoreland Township in PA....we weren't very imaginative.

Good news for me, I have three of them.

I was surprised to see Popful Mail on there. I played it when it first came out and never heard anyone mention it since.

That would be an odd symptom for it

I honestly have no idea why I remember as many digits of Pi as I do

You can get fined, but it looks like the provision for jail time was removed.

Division 2...which is oddly thematic.

yeah

That is a little weird.

My wife and I already work from home, so minimal change for us. Work is allowing me to attend a meeting online that I otherwise would have had to go into the office for.

Maybe they were just buying the booze because all the hand sanitizer was sold out.

Liquor stores were just as bad to be honest. The line stretched around the store with like 4 registers going. Employees were saying it was like that the entire day

All of the schools in our county closed for two weeks today....I'm guessing a lot of parents hit the liquor store after that news broke.

My wife and I went to the grocery store after work today, just because this is our normal day to go shopping, and the checkout lines ran the length of the store. We just turned around and left, there is nothing we need that warrants waiting in those kinds of lines.

Most of his supporters are also petulant manchildren so...

It would combine two things I have no interest in.

Reviews for it are all over the place on Boardgamegeek, but generally it seems the more someone likes the original game, the less they like the KH version.

I've played Talisman and knew there was a KH version of it, but I've never played it. That would be a weird change since most licensed versions of games are just the same game with some theming stuck on it.
