  - HOTMAIL WILL NEVER DIE!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:31
  - Plenty of people. It’s why I couldn’t use Hangouts for our board meeting. -- nm - spamlet Apr 29, 08:30 4
    - What's the difference between Meets and Hangouts? -- nm* - pmb Apr 29, 08:32 1
      - Meets is the business product allegedly. Trying to figure out Google’s messaging strategies are a fools errand though. -- nm - spamlet Apr 29, 08:34

      - Same reason people don’t have FB. They don’t like the tracking. -- nm - spamlet Apr 29, 08:33
Interesting take on the Q1 decline. The top culprit? Healthcare. -- (link) - Volnelk Apr 29, 08:12 1
- We're gonna go running right back to this shitty medical system post Corona. Because Elizabeth Warren was bad at explaining. -- nm - con_carne Apr 29, 08:34
Work is extending the ridiculously termed Proud Pay until May 24th. This is $2 an hour extra pay. - Qale Apr 29, 08:12 1
- If they went with Hazard Pay it wouldn't seem enough. - zunkskunk Apr 29, 08:18
My work day is exactly an hour old and I am pretty sure I can define it as "evil". - Spawn Apr 29, 08:02

Holy crap: Worse than expected drop in US Q-1 GDP — at minus 4.8%...calculations suggest the Q-2 contraction could be as large as 40% -- (link) - decline Apr 29, 07:48 2

Anyone want to see the current curve of new cases? From CDC as of 4/28. - loosilu Apr 29, 07:48 [Attachment] 7
- The big dips in positive tests and deaths seem to happen on Sundays and Mondays. Not sure why. -- nm - Inigo Apr 29, 07:58 1
  - No one works on Sundays and Mondays are spent catching up on the work from Saturday. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:58
- Testing capacity issue. Plot it against tests run per day and the pattern is pretty clear. I’m in bed or I could show you the one on my computer. -- nm - mafic Apr 29, 07:55 4
  - But nationwide? We don't have national testing, it's a patchwork. -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 07:55 3
    - but I saw a news clip that we have the best testing, with so much available... -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 29, 08:25
    - Yeah. Some places are fine, but mostly nowhere runs nearly enough. When the number of tests first scaled up, number of cases went right along with it. - mafic Apr 29, 08:04 1
      - ahhh, got it. Thank you! -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 08:21
One Day at a Time to air animated episode. In other news, One Day at a Time is still on the air -- (link) - oblique Apr 29, 07:39 7

  - What's Pop TV - decline Apr 29, 08:02 4
    - Used to be TV Guide channel -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Apr 29, 08:12
    - It is where we saw Schitt's Creek. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:05
    - If you have YouTube TV, it's toward the bottom of the channel guide. - David Apr 29, 08:05 1

- It is a... reimagining. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 07:47
That Arizona couple that ingested the fish tank cleaner and the husband died? Yeah.....might have actually been an elaborate murder -- (link) - ty97 Apr 29, 07:33 8
- Oooh, but it's the Free Beacon. They're invested in Trump not getting blamed for that death. -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 07:35 7
  - Perhaps, but this isn't really an opinion article as far as the facts presented (which are by no means conclusive, but raise some questions!) -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 07:37 6
    - "Raising questions" is what conspiracy theorists do. Always keep in mind their goal: Do anything to exonerate Trump. -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 07:46 3
      - "It begs the question" is one o' them common logical fallacies -- nm - con_carne Apr 29, 07:48 2

        What they're trying to do is change the basic facts by casting doubt. -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 07:55
    - I read a few days back and it's interesting, but there's a lot of pleading happening. "he wouldn't have" "that doesn't seem like him" -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 07:38 1
      - If the cops don't say it, I'm not interested. -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 07:46
I think the most unrealistic thing that's happened in Killing Eve so far is (s3 spoils) - Reagen Apr 29, 07:24 3

  - Probably buried. Burning isn't approved. -- nm - loosilu Apr 29, 07:09

  - The first ... 10 days? of this were hard, then I got into a rhythm, and the weather was shitty anyway. This week I'm feeling it again. - Reagen Apr 29, 06:55 2
    - The first 2-3 weeks wore on me at times and then, yeah, fell into habit. - ty97 Apr 29, 07:19 1
      - I'm terrified. It's a wonder I get any sleep. My chance of catching this may be slim, but my chance of surviving it .. - mud Apr 29, 07:26
- Like I said at the start of this, we're all playing a very immersive version of Fallout. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 06:40 1

#QuarantineConfessions - I didn't need peanut butter. But I bought some anyway when I saw that some people couldn't find any. Is that awful? -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 06:33 54
- No. We *always* make sure there is a second unopened jar in the pantry. It is something both I and Logan eat a *lot* of. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:04

- The plants closing is causing me angst. I want to run out and buy chicken! - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 06:55 35

      - Nacho rotation? -- (edited) - sycor Apr 29, 07:07 2
        
        Rotisserie chicken on Monday, leftovers get used for nachos on Thursday. Repeat. - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch Apr 29, 07:12
        
        I'm using left over Mexican meatloaf crumbles for today's lunch nachos -- nm - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 07:10

        years of dieting and the Keto (off/on) for a year and a half - taught me how to make more than one meal out of a dish. - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 07:31 3
        
        Here comes my practice, I guess. My biggest problem is thinking of what to make. - loosilu Apr 29, 07:33 2
        
        cooking for one definitely has its own set of challenges. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Apr 29, 07:48
        
        I google a shit ton of recipes, then youtube how to make stuff. You will work on it. make 1/2 the suggested amount - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 07:45
        
        I understand this completely. :) -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 07:19 1

      - So YOU'RE the real reason for the chicken shortage. -- nm - bacon Apr 29, 07:10 1
        
        heh - stores are full of meat ( chicken included) - I don't know how that is possible. Cause its Texas? local farms? hell if I know. -- nm - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 07:11

- Make some satay! -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 06:41 2
  - I have never made satay. I think it's time. -- nm - Andie Apr 29, 06:46
  - this is the plan. -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 06:42

  - I get at least 1 pkg of TP whenever I can. -- nm - Diva Apr 29, 06:42
- I made do with almond butter for a bit. Then we fortunately found some PB. - Dark Callisto Apr 29, 06:35 9
