Does anyone live in Yakima County, Washington? 46% of all cases in the state this week. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:19 2
- Seems to be largely an Indian reservation, which falls in line with the virus disproportionately impacting the vulnerable. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 11:25 1
  - Ahhhhhh. That'll do it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:28
Has this been said? Hospitalizations in TX up 42% since Memorial Day. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 12, 11:12 39
- I'm expecting numbers in most states to show rises thru the end of the month :( -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 12, 11:44 1
  - The states that are doing it the right way are showing a sustained decline. The question is whether the filthy red states will ruin it for America. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 12, 11:54
- Yes but Wheels says its fine because there are still plenty of hospital beds available. - Epiphany- not a demon Jun 12, 11:16 5

  - You're doing the right thing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:20
- "Breaking News: Texas, Florida and California all recently reported their highest daily tallies of new virus cases" - David Jun 12, 11:15 30
  - UTah is up 42% as well, if anyone cares. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:18
  - Well, we've had those headlines daily, so they get mixed up. The 42% is from 2 days ago, so I'm sure it must be higher. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:17
  - I've been watching Florida (for obvious reasons) -- (pic) - ty97 Jun 12, 11:17 [Attachment] 27
    - THIS. IS. FINE. 😬 -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 11:43 1

    - And now you're stuck there in the summer. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 11:32 16
      - So you’re saying this was a long con by his mom to really get him to move to FL? - spamlet Jun 12, 11:56 4
        
        She does not know I am here -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 12:09 2
        
        where does she think you are? where are you staying? -- nm - Epiphany- not a demon Jun 12, 12:17
        
        Yet. - spamlet Jun 12, 12:13
        
        Heh. :-) - Krusty Jun 12, 11:59
      - For work? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:42 10
        
        Nope, just because they'll end up having to reverse course and go back to quarantining. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 11:49 7
        
        The thing is, this time they will resist. Trump has empowered them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:55 6
        
        I have been battling on the Nextdoor App today. - Spawn Jun 12, 12:03 1
        
        I just have to look at social media to know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 12:06
        
        I worry that you're right and that we're going to see other states get hit like we did because they'll refuse to step back and follow safety - Krusty Jun 12, 12:02 3
        
        And they'll fuck the rest of us up. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 12:05 2
        
        Yup! Damn it, ty! -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 12:09 1
        
        We can't allow him to return from FL. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 12:12
        
        FOREVA! -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 11:44 1
        
        At this rate... -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:44
    - Yeah, I had to write about it overnight. Florida went from 60,000 to 70,000 in a week. They've already broken the daily record today, and it's 2 PM. -- nm - David Jun 12, 11:22 7
      - Seriously, I think they're goign to have to shut down again. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:39 6
        
        My board that has been staying strong (no furniture at their pool) has suddenly started talking about scheduling the annual meeting thanks to us - Spawn Jun 12, 11:43 5
        
        There's some crazy mass delusion happening right now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:44 4
        
        They(/we/I) have caught SO much shit over the furniture, of all things. The board(we/I) are smart enough not to trust the people to wipe them down. - Spawn Jun 12, 11:55 3
        
        We were doing so well for awhile. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:56 2
        
        I wonder who f-ed it up? - Spawn Jun 12, 11:57 1
        
        144 days -- nm - mud Jun 12, 12:08
At my work, they are currently at 30% occupancy, and upstairs is telling us more people should come in. Our group is freaking out that they are doing - loosilu Jun 12, 11:08
Star Wars Squadrons trailer Monday. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 12, 11:05 4
- Check out those fancy fighters on both sides. I think I see a K-Wing on the Republic side and I dunno what on the Empire. SO. FUCKING. EXCITED. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 11:17
- I just hope it has more than 3 consecutive seconds of gameplay instead of being all CGI. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 12, 11:06 2
  - It's actually a CGI renderer. You'll have to compile your own battles and then wait 6 hours for them to render. They'll use them in the next movie. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 11:36
  - Yeah, I'm tired of that. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 11:13
Current count has me with zero cats and Kim with three cats. - David Jun 12, 10:56 6
- Mmhmm. -- nm - kelly Jun 12, 11:06 1
  - Want a picture of Olive? -- nm - David Jun 12, 11:08
- Likely closer to the cat food / food dishes -- nm - budice Jun 12, 11:02
- you should have got your hair cut -- nm - decline Jun 12, 10:59 1
  - Right, this imbalance is problematic. -- nm - David Jun 12, 11:07
- Maybe it's because she has better hair. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:58
Has anyone watched Downton Abbey? What grade would you give it. I'm thinking of starting it. -- nm - Loyola Jun 12, 10:53 5
- Loved it. Watch it with someone special -- nm - con_carne Jun 12, 12:10
- B+, at least. -- nm - mud Jun 12, 11:47
- Thanks. -- nm - Loyola Jun 12, 11:03
- I'd give a B. Like znu said, it's costume drama. It's a soap opera set in the early 20th century. The characters are engaging and there - loosilu Jun 12, 11:01
- B, it's entertaining enough if you like costume drama -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 10:54
It’s not a real console unless they release Skyrim for it. -- nm - Tim Jun 12, 10:50 3
- Ha! -- (link) - Shaun Jun 12, 11:17 1
  - That's perfect. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 11:42
- Who needs a console!?? -- nm - Stadia Jun 12, 11:14
I posted about it in the middle of the night. Dave Chappelle did a quick local bit about the current state of things. It’s interesting. -- (link) - Volnelk Jun 12, 10:47 [youtube] 2
- *banana bookmark* -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 10:54
- I'm listening to it right now -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 10:51
My understanding is horror films tend to be cheap to make and give a nice return on the investment. No reason not to keep going if the last one - Krusty Jun 12, 10:38 11
- It's the best risk/reward ratio in the biz but you're chasing fads all the time. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 11:23
- But also, that is a reliable audience who is always interested in what's new. -- nm - con_carne Jun 12, 11:16 2
  - Right, I was thinking that as well. Horror fans tend to give new films a try and will continue on in a series until it ends. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 12:19
  - (In contrast, high-quality art house films have to have sooo many stars aligning just right for us to maybe get started thinking about streaming it - con_carne Jun 12, 11:20
- I'm really hoping they do a Happy Death Day 3. -- nm - Remlik Jun 12, 11:05 2
  - Ohhhhh....don't tease if you can't deliver -- nm - JD Jun 12, 11:56
  - Yes, please. -- nm - David Jun 12, 11:15
- i.e. the Blumhouse business model. -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 10:42 3
  - speaking of which, I was watching the latest BH trailer with Kevin Back - "you should have left", the cat pawed my blanket - Epiphany- not a demon Jun 12, 10:53 1
    - HA! -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 10:56
  - It's worked well for them for the last decade. -- nm - sycor Jun 12, 10:48
Ace Hotel has a care package available on Dropbox -- if you like that sort of thing. Recipes, Zoom background photos, an activity book. - ReluctantCynic Jun 12, 10:28 3
- Were we supposed to level up before tonight or not level up? I don’t remember what that final answer was. -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 10:36
- And I didn't know this before, but DropBox has a whole host of digital care packages, too! -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Jun 12, 10:31 1
  - Oh, the SuperCluster one has some of Erik Kuna’s fantastic photos cropped to mobile and desktop background. -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 10:40
Please let this be real! -- (link) - TWuG Jun 12, 10:17 1
- No, of course not. But it's still funny. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:20
What the fuck compels someone to value their lawn over a human life? -- (link*) - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:16 5
- The fact that he did not even do something as stupid as, say, firing it in the air amazes me. -- nm - Spawn Jun 12, 11:27
- a. owners of well appointed lawns are psyco about them...b. this guy lived in an apartment, so not even "his" lawn -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 12, 10:52
- Fuck that asshole. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 10:37 1
  - Now now, there are good people in both sides of that conflict. (NM) - Drumpf Jun 12, 11:10
- Jeesus Cripes -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 10:26

COunty Board meeting and 100 people showed up who didn't want to wear masks -- (link) - Remlik Jun 12, 10:12
from yesterday, not sure anyone really cares about my pc question about upgrades - tRuMaN Jun 12, 09:54 3
- I care. But I'm not much of a gamer so you are looking at completely different needs than me. - sycor Jun 12, 10:39
- I do, I feel I should be bookmarking them for later. My HP pc is 9 yrs old -- nm - mud Jun 12, 10:04 1
  - i only really notice the issue on my pc when on I play Stellaris, and as it gets to late game, the CPU -- (edited) - tRuMaN Jun 12, 10:06
FWP - so local health dept. has nixed any "shared" office snacks, etc. - even the communal coffee pot. grrr - JenBro Jun 12, 09:54 1
- Keurig? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:06
Beaker, EB has a 3 for $25 on select Funkos if you go to their site. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 12, 09:47 2

- I'm at the stage where I need new or really old/exclusives :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 10:02
Some data on May unemployment -- (link) - ty97 Jun 12, 09:44 1
- Sorry, lost on b2. On the locator I posted there was at least one walk up site that came up for your zip. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 10:21

- :( -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 09:42
Just can't wait to hear JD's thoughts on Wrong Turn: Left Turn at Albuquerque - prayformojo Jun 12, 09:39
Sometimes, I feel like JD's posts skip the first two integral explanatory sentences. -- nm - David Jun 12, 09:37 1
- this is his defining characteristic -- nm - rollo Jun 12, 09:38
This post did not age well -- (link) - ty97 Jun 12, 09:36 [Backboard] 4
- I'm stuck in a loop now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 11:04 1
  - like Ground Hog Day? -- nm - Epiphany- not a demon Jun 12, 11:13
