Your Japanese must be better than mine.

@Axtremus said in Cloud storage:

Personally, my approach is that I really don't consider photographs and videos important enough to require serious backup. If I loose my videos and photographs, I can live with that. Once I exclude my videos and photographs, the volume for all the truly important data that I want to reliably backup is very manageable and I do not really need Cloud backup.

Interesting perspective!

If I lost our photos and videos - I'd be pretty dang upset. I don't think my wife would ever recover. It's pretty much the only real important class of files I have.

Same with me. LOL

@Friday said in My reco for the quarantine:

Comrade Detective on Amazon Prime.

So my husband has been trying to get me to watch this show for sometime, and I've always sort of poo-poo'd him. But during this special time of sheltering at home, I've had a chance to watch an episode, and it's pretty funny.

Absolutely wonderful. Enjoying it so much. Thanks for the recommendation.

After I finish this, I'm back to Bosch.

@Mik said in Thursday night planked salmon:

Corelle FTW. Love that stuff. Lightweight, indestructible. We have a few sets of good china, but we only use one at Christmas

I will tell my dad you said thank you.

I get cedar flavor from my planked salmon. The secret is to stop soaking it so long. 10 minutes tops. Any longer and you are just leaching the flavor out of the wood.

Just made some tonight. 2 filets on cedar, 2 on the grill. World of difference...

@Copper said in NSFW (language) Fun proposal on how to help people during Covid:

Where was the plan?

We never should have shutdown without a plan to start back up.

And that plan should have objective triggers that would cause things to open.

Maybe next time?

Its enough to make you wonder if booze keeps symptoms at bay....

Oh Thank Hod! I mean God! Is 7/11 still open?

Oh I’m using this site, for better or worse:

Didn't jon also bring back crabs from his last vacation?

No, I left 'em there.

@Jolly said in Joe, you're an idiot.:

I'm not sure how to wake the economy up. I'm not sure anybody is.

Right now, our governor said that if we don't start bringing back some things in May, half of all Louisiana small businesses will fail.

A huge part of it is going to be public perception. In other words, if you open before a safe plan is fully implemented and people freak out from overwhelmed hospitals and loved ones dying at home, people are going to start to stay home again and you'll have accomplished nothing. Positive thinking isn't going to fix the economy.

Being conscious for the surgery sounds awful 😲

I´m glad to hear it´s not painful for you now, Horace. What a terrible time to need medical attention. I hope you´re able to avoid another surgery.

Bill Gates made it:

Bill Gates, at Odds With Trump on Virus, Becomes a Right-Wing Target
The Microsoft co-founder turned philanthropist has been attacked with falsehoods that he created the coronavirus and wants to profit from it.

No passenger, or are the Canadian media just less boisterous?
American media would hype up a second Sullenberger from something like this.

Normally, I'd be laughing my ass off, but he's just sucked all the fun out of this epidemic.

@taiwan_girl said in Clinical Characteristics of Covid-19 in New York City:

Interesting chart. I was reading something that in the US, non white poeple seem to get the virus more than their per cent of the population.

Not sure if that is because most of the cases are in big cities, and there are more nonwhite people there?

Also saw the obesity number. Somebody was speculating that is why poorer countries have not been hit as bad as expected. One reason may be less fat people there.

Re minorities- More dense neighborhoods, more co-morbidity, less likely to be able to work from home, larger families.

Poor countries - too early to tell how much is masked by testing.

@brenda That was cruel. 😢

I sent that to D2 - the psych doctor:

"Irritability is a sign of withdrawal from weed. But yeah wtf are we supposed to do with the mf kids?"

"I am reading my students reports all day and I could use some weed. They write like shit"

"In fact it would probably make more sense if I was high while reading it."

I watch a lot of YouTube on my TV via Roku, and hardly ever get a commercial at all, which now I come to think of it is rather odd.
