Worked from home for the 1st time in my life yesterday. Really weird. Gotta get a mouse. Can't use the laptop scroll mouse thingy again. Gonna be working at home 2 days a week and in the office 3 days for the foreseeable future.

Wireless mouse and extra screen is a must

[quote=Buffalo Bob;1247589]What I don't understand is how anyone gives a crap about the political opinions of a Hollywood Celebrity. They spew them any chance they get. Those people live in a different world, if they ran out of a necessity because of hoarding, they could send a dozen people to look for it or just pay 100 times what it is worth to get it.[/quote]

It’s not really the politics. It’s the obvious lack of awareness and general optics. They are truly clowns.

Another thing that baffles the mind is how their product endorsements can make or break a company. The money celebs get for endorsements and being featured in ads is insane.

Any idea why New York is far above Washington and California? Just seems odd since it started on the west coast? [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200322/22b6f20c89809cd25c080fda922d4011.jpg[/IMG]

No , the true clowns are the ones that care what they do or let what they don't do bother them .

So a web site I was wondering through yesterday made a interesting suggestion . Regions around the world have played parts in things like this before meaning one type of person or people living in certain areas might be more susceptible to certain germs and such or others might be less likely to develop certain diseases or issues . They were pointing out how this has hit Italians so hard in Italy and then pointed out the Italian family in NJ who lost four family members and then the large number in NY. No facts mind you but it was interesting .

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]I mean that definitely makes the most sense. Still seems so outta whack with the numbers for other major metro areas. My thought is also that JFK is so a major thoroughfare for European air travel, that maybe it should have been closed even sooner, or that more cases came from Europe and NY took the brunt of that storm.

Yeah I think that's it, population density and NY being a major port of entry

Are there any roadblocks in the quarantine states?

Don't need them. There is nowhere to go. Unless you want to go wander around Target for a few hours.

Lovely, this is an over the top police state. I can see checkpoints all over the place asking you where you are going. I got a ticket a year ago for expired inspection sticker, they are big on pulling people over for that. Trying to see if I could quickly pay it I go to the county site and started browsing. I ended up looking for myself on the court docket. I noticed the cop who wrote my ticket was all over it and a few other names constantly popped up.

On estimation looking at the court calendar this guy and a couple others were writing 20-30 tickets a day. The ridiculous part is many tickets often had 4-5 violations on them, seems like they threw the book at people. I had family that were cops, they would usually just write the person for the most serious offense and warn them on others. Not these clowns. One guy got an illegal right turn against a red light, cracked windshield, no brake light, expired inspection sticker added to an improperly fastened child car seat.

Probably the best thing to do if pulled over now is the start coughing and wheezing.
