| Topic | Guys, I'm just gonna say it. I think the protests caused a spike in rona cases |
| jcmason 07/03/20 8:45:00 AM #8 | I would assume in some place it did contribute significantly to the spread but as an Arizonan, our protests for BLM were not terribly large, and did not stretch for days/weeks like protests have in other places. Despite that reduced amount of protest activity our terrible state managed to rapidly spread Covid to tens of thousands of people over the course of June. While some of those could have been due to the handful of BLM protests in Tucson and the Phoenix metro area, the vast majority of those new infections were probably tied to our state not implementing adequate protection plans, such as not closing fully or for long enough, and not requiring and certainly not enforcing face mask usage regularly. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |

| jcmason 06/17/20 8:03:20 AM #4 | my son did it for the last couple months, it was basically about 45min to an hour per day, with half of that being a Math section and the other half being Reading/Language. These were online interactive lessons with the material he was learning. I would sit with him and help talk him through what it was teaching him, but I am not a good teacher myself so I dont know how helpful I was. Fortunately he had been doing well prior to the Covid closure so it wasnt too bad, but he certainly would have learned more if he was still in a traditional class structure. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |

Though they can be transferred within the family as I understand, so if one kid doesnt need it, the funds can be spent on the other kid.

| jcmason 04/27/20 8:40:14 AM #28 | Why would you be mad at a specific game for giving your 360 the RRoD? The console was manufactured with poor quality control, failing on a massive scale regardless of what specific activity you were using it for (games, music, videos, etc.) I think I remember hearing that the replacement program cost MS ~$1.2B, and thats just for the ones that they actually replaced through that program.

The US is still very violent and homicidal compared to other developed countries, but murder is still decreasing per capita. This is correct, we're safer now than we've ever been, and that trend continues to improve. But our media is also more efficient at putting the most egregious and heinous violations in our faces, all the time, so people have difficulty recognizing how safe it actually is. That's not to say that the risks don't exist, they do, just far less common than people think. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |

| Topic | wtf determines my internet speed? I range from 20 to 100 mbps |
| jcmason 02/19/20 8:00:11 AM #3 | In theory it has to do with how much of the bandwidth you and your neighbors are all using. So at peak times, if everybody is using a decent chunk of bandwidth in your neighborhood, then you'll see your speeds drop. If you're in the US, the very minimal amount of competition between ISPs means they do not have to improve the internet infrastructure in any given area, so they are just allowed to give us these mediocre speeds. Every plan says "up to" xxxMBs download speed. And so they can give us anything up to that number, even if it's like 5% of that number. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |
