UGH!!! NYS unemployment makes you call them after filing online and there are so many calls it's impossible to get through. It won't even pick up the - Krusty Apr 1, 05:09 5
- Here in GA the DOL is having employers do some kind of pre-application work to speed up the processing. Our HR staff has been working on it. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 1, 05:13 2
  - The issue is with the people like me that don't have an employer but are self-employed, independent contractors or freelancers. We don't normally - Krusty Apr 1, 05:22 1
    - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 1, 06:19
- My sister has been having the same issue in Texas. But busy signals instead. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 1, 05:12 1
  - I got that too. This is a terrible system that needs to be adjust asap so hundreds of thousands of people aren't asked to call the same number. - Krusty Apr 1, 05:18
Toronto cancels all city events and permits until June 30 citing COVID-19 outbreak -- nm - Beaker Apr 1, 05:09

Battlestar Gallactica free to watch online -- (link) - Beaker Apr 1, 04:45
Those medical tents in Central Park are run by a fundamentalist Christian org and now we have to have monitors to watch them and make - Krusty Apr 1, 04:35 4
- Eh, Samaritan’s Purse does good work and they’re likely one of the few orgs that could spin up an ICU in a park quickly. - spamlet Apr 1, 05:31
- I understand there is concern (as a Christian I don't agree with anti-LGTB) but I always heard only good about Samaritan's Purse help for the needy - SyrDragon Apr 1, 05:15
- Crap, it's Franklin Graham. -- nm* - loosilu Apr 1, 04:50 1
  - Yup. :-/ -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 04:52
The latest right wing nonsense is "Oh, I had it months ago, I'm fine now" -- (link) - Reagen Apr 1, 04:11 10
- IIRC, people on ST were saying this 2-3 weeks ago? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 1, 04:37 8
  - I'm in the "I maybe had it in February" group but I'm still self-isolating. - Mop Apr 1, 05:08
  - I was wondering aloud. I've decided not to do that any more because it's dangerous. Maybe there was a less virulent strain going around. - loosilu Apr 1, 04:53 1
    - Agree with the IM 100%. -- nm* - Strongbad Apr 1, 05:04
  - I don’t think they were downplaying it though? -- nm - Roger More Apr 1, 04:51 4
    - No, if it was a thing I had, I was sick as fuck. Near pneumonia. - Dark Callisto Apr 1, 04:57 3
      - People will study it to death, so we'll find out eventually. I think it's a bad idea to put out there at the moment. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 05:05 2
        
        Whatever they had, like my brother, wasn't nearly as virulent. Maybe it's mutated since then. Anitbody tests will be interesting. -- nm - mara Apr 1, 05:26
        
        I agree. It's not something I've suggested outside of ST. :) -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 1, 05:12
- Is it just me or are the lies getting waaaay easier to see through. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 04:20

- UK gets The Repair Show (where the nation watches nice people and gets to collectively weep with happiness) -- nm - LMS Apr 1, 04:35 1
  - I really like that show -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 04:36
- I know there is nothing to be done, but I’m struggling to really get into empty arena wrestling. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 04:17 7
  - It is like fake wrestling. -- nm - Spawn Apr 1, 05:16
  - A lot has to be lost when they can't play to the crowd -- nm* - Krusty Apr 1, 04:20 5
    - I see them holding back too, which is 100% understandable. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 04:20 4
      - For sure. If it's watering down the product it might be best to hold off until fans can be in the arena and the wrestlers are more comfortable -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 04:22 3
        
        I don’t think that’s a great answer either though. The guys really do wanna keep at it if only to stay ring ready. It’s more a ‘me’ problem. - Qale Apr 1, 04:25 2
        
        For safety reasons they probably shouldn't be wrestling. But I'm sure you're not the only one that's finding it a different show without the fans. - Krusty Apr 1, 04:29 1
        
        I’m sure they are doing everything under strict medical supervision. It’s thus far been a limited dozen or so talents. I watch baseball as my only true sport. -- (edited) - Qale Apr 1, 04:31

  - True Terror With Robert Englund, Crank Yankers, Eating History, Little Fires Everywhere (HULU), other stuff -- nm - Beaker Apr 1, 04:04 3
    - Crank Yankers? They're making new episodes? - Krusty Apr 1, 04:21 2
      - yes, started a while ago, this is round 2 I believe -- nm - Beaker Apr 1, 04:25 1
        
        Comedy Central, I'm assuming. I guess I just don't watch that channel anymore without a good TDS and Colbert so I missed that they brought it back. -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 1, 04:37
The National Theatre are streaming productions every Thursday for the next 4 weeks -- (link) - LMS Apr 1, 03:18 1

- I was almost too distracted by the roller skating rink music to notice. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 04:22
This could be useful for folks. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 1, 01:09
That's weird. One of STs servers was about three minutes out of sync with the other one. This might explain broken dupe detection. - Beryllium Apr 1, 00:53 2
- sounds like the perfect time for a heist -- nm - prayformojo Apr 1, 01:28
- we should all test it by trying to post the same thing thirty times in a row. -- nm - mafic Apr 1, 01:02
A fair point. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 1, 00:38 1
- Yup -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 04:25

  - I appreciate it...I've already watched Place, Ted and Magicians. I will check into The Umbrella Academy -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 21:32 6
    - Umbrella Academy is not exactly uplifting, just as a forewarning. (Have you tried The Boys? Also not so uplifting, but much more fun. Dark fun.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 31, 23:00
    - Shannara Chronicles (Netflix), Person of Interest (Netflix), Dark Matter (Netflix) -- nm - David Mar 31, 21:36 4

        Heh, I was just checking the barn owl cams from our Audubon sanctuary. Maybe ST can be declared a 'rare breed' sanctuary? One of the last :) -- nm - Meg Mar 31, 21:52

I'm waiting for the "newsletter" that says since Mexico has fewer cases than the US, eat foods with garlic, cumin, and chilis among other things - crash davis Mar 31, 20:07 27
- Screw you, man. -- nm - Vampires Apr 1, 04:33
- Maybe it's the spices, not so sure about the garlic. -- nm - . Mar 31, 21:36 1
  - Garlic is a natural antibiotic - Trisha Mar 31, 22:31

- *stamps APPROVED* -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 20:10 11
  - You don’t even like cilantro!!! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 31, 20:10 10
    - Devil's weed! But I like every other spice in that mix - Reagen Mar 31, 20:12 9
      - Definitely lime. I like cilantro but Trish has that gene where cilantro tastes like soap. So I usually use flat leaf parsley. -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:15
      - I have been eating homemade pho every other night for almost a month. Lime and Cilantro!! Yumm -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 20:13 7
        
        good pho is a major hole in the restaurant scene here, I miss it - Reagen Mar 31, 20:15 6
        
        A pho place opened up here recently and it's pretty good, but I don't like pho itself. - Beryllium Mar 31, 20:22 1
        
        "recently" = 7 to 8 months ago. I don't know if they'll survive the slowdown, but they do takeout and delivery, so maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 31, 20:38
        
        We have a pretty good pho and thai place we go to - znufrii Mar 31, 20:19
        
        We had an explosion on pho places pop up in the last 5 years. Dude, I found a way to make it restaurant quality. I plan on posting my recipe soon -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 20:18 2
        
        I mean, I've got time to make soup. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 20:21 1
        
        I had many bad attempts. The broth was the hardest thing to recreate without spending 2 days making it -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 21:02
- Are you spying on me? I was just discussing whether Mexican food is garlicky— it definitely is in the US but not so much in Mexico (I think) -- nm - JackDawson Mar 31, 20:10 7
  - There's garlic in everything as one of several basic flavours, but I don't think of Mexican food as garlicky. - Roger More Mar 31, 20:20
  - varies by region, perhaps? Pati Jinich uses a bit on her show. The food I get here uses it but it might be Hispanics adapting to Anglo tastes? -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:12 5
    - The stereotype is that Anglo people don't like garlic though -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 20:18 3
      - That has to be old or an eastern thing, you should have seen the lines for garlic fries at Mariners games. -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:20 2
        
        It's definitely an English thing. But it's also a "this mayonnaise make my Wonder bread spicy" thing. -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 20:26 1
        
        that made me giggle, thanks! -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:27
    - Maritimers are the only people on Earth to get a hold of Lebanese food and say, "Hey, don't be so stingy with the garlic now." -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 20:16
Seahawks part with S Tedric Thompson, TE Ed Dickson -- (link) - crash davis Mar 31, 20:05 5
- SEA has some serious cap issues. I like that they got Olsen, despite him being 105-years-old -- nm - Flavorize Mar 31, 20:09 4
  - With Olson, Will Dissly, Luke Willson, and Jacob Hollister, I like Seattle's TE corps -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:14 3
    - That's 5 weeks of TEs without injuries then what? -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 20:57 2
      - That was clever, I'll give you that one. -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 21:07 1
        
        I have had Olsen in fantasy the last 2 or 3 years and when he's healthy he's great but he is dinged a lot -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 21:29
I like that rick didn't explicitly call out peter McKay in this video, but still totally called him out. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 31, 20:03
Breaking: Trump administration too busy not testifying in impeachment trial to listen to numerous warnings of coronavirus pandemic. -- (link*) - znufrii Mar 31, 20:01 9

  - But they didn't play golf as much as me. Priorities lady!! -- nm - President Dump Mar 31, 20:05
  - Doing nothing is hard work, I guess. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 20:04 6
    - but, he had to tweet, and go to many Nuremberg rallies, and scream about how mean everyone was! -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 20:05 5
      - Look watching Fox News takes easily 4 hours of his time a day. You don't expect him to miss any do you? -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 20:09 3
        
        He hate watches Morning Joe to start off his day -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 20:33
        
        That's how he knew the corona virus was a hoax after all. He saw it there -- nm - Bacon Mar 31, 20:09 1
        
        that's how he knew about the fish tank cleaner as a miracle cure that's going save everyone, laura ingram touted it -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 20:28
      - spoils - znufrii Mar 31, 20:06
