My ~10-year-old Asus netbook is telling me it would like a new battery. This could be problematic :/ -- nm - Meg Mar 30, 11:16 8

  - I actually replaced it a while back with a laptop, but I like the smaller netbook for travel. -- nm - Meg Mar 30, 11:26

  - this -- nm - decline Mar 30, 11:25
- How is it even working? -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 11:19 1

- I don't believe this until Max posts it. - nm - JaxSean Mar 30, 11:06
- Same. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 11:01
USNS Comfort arrived in New York City this morning, as the city prepares for a surge of new coronavirus cases. -- (link) - budice Mar 30, 10:51 3

This pretty much sums it up -- (link) - ty97 Mar 30, 10:22
I don't think I'll be trying this, but others might be interested. -- (pic) - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:21 [Attachment] 6

  - Thank you. -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 30, 10:30 1
    - Fun medley to close 8-) -- nm - JD Mar 30, 10:44

Dr Birx was interviewed on the Today Show. She implied 100-200K deaths is if everyone does everything right -- (link) - ty97 Mar 30, 10:18 12
- That's been the model from day one. Best case scenario is 100K-200K. Nice of them to mention it to Americans. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 30, 10:21 9
  - Sooo...just so I get it. Regardless of how our Douche Canoe in Chief played this, the best case was 100/200k? - Turd Ferguson Mar 30, 10:33 8
    - If it hadn't been botched, not only would you be looking at fewer cases, but you would also be better equipped to handle them. But he golfed. -- (pic) - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:37 [Attachment] 4
      - At what point can he be criminally charged? Actually truly asking. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 10:39 3
        
        It’s currently in the courts. Justice Dept policy says he can’t be charged in office. It’s not clear he could be charged for official acts ever. - spamlet Mar 30, 10:48
        
        I don't think he can. But I think it would be ultimately fair to lay 50% of the upcoming deaths solely at his feet, forever, throughout history -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:46 1
        
        I'd say more than 50%. 6 weeks is an eternity. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 11:24
    - That's best case they are seeing based on how we have handled it to date. - ty97 Mar 30, 10:34 2
      - Yes, what ty said. It's the best we can hope for given his negligence. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 11:22 1
        
        Ok, I was hoping I was mis-reading you. And I was. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 30, 11:26
- So, in other words, you guys are looking at a solid million? -- nm - Shaun Mar 30, 10:19 1
  - I hope their models are off, I truly do. Let's lower this number as much as possible -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 10:20
Over zealous tow truck folks (which is redundant, I know) are putting stickers on cars in my complex that “must prove in working condition.” - Qale Mar 30, 10:18 3
- They should change the code so the tow company cannot enter, at least. -- nm - Spawn Mar 30, 11:15
- keep used disinfecting wipes to use to touch such things -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 30, 10:27
