Positives from Covid-19

Well, I sure do enjoy my internet, while Europe has to throttle.

The US has been getting throttled too

Yes in France the avg. cost for 100 Mbps is approximately $35 in the US the average cost is $75
but I'm sure you wanted to make some kind of "point" so please do



If you're interested in the different types of throttling I can help you
go to fast.com and post your stats

English (US)
Your Internet speed is
3.8

Mbps

I'll have to go to Fast.com later, because I am currently working from home while the rest of my family streams Netflix in HD, while Europe has had to go to SD.

Thank goodness for throttling where appropriate, so we can work and play at the same time.

Change the Netflix settings to SD and save that bandwidth for critical services.

Dude. I have a 250cc scooter with 32k in commuter miles! I'm all about saving resources where possible.

Posted months ago I couldn't track who was abusing our internet, so I set all devices down to around 720p.

Just giving Cleets crap as I know he's a hater of net neutrality. The little fish bit.

Sacrifice for the common good. We're all in this together.

Be a hero.

I’m going to come over and plink my one remaining into your glass of whiskey.

That is really insensitive to kalm

Here's a cool CVD-19 side effect video - well worth the 10 minutes

I actually ran across that yesterday. Very cool. I was somewhat surprised the tower was so accommodating in this day and age. Imagine if the pilot fucked up or was actually intending harm.

The aircraft flight records pop up associated with that craft
if it was a rental aircraft or a craft with limited fight plan activity in the area they might have behaved otherwise

and

They also know if the pilot had nefarious plans there wouldn't be much they could do anyway
they can't "scramble" Beale or Edwards AFB for a rogue Cesna requesting a flyover

Now we know Dems really didn't give a shit over furloughed jobs back during the government standoff.

Don't seem to give a shit now that people are unemployed.

I was informed this morning, that grandchild #2 is on the way. My brothers daughter is also expecting. COVID Winter Babies.

Our first as well. She’s 3 1/2 now and loves steak and pizza. Without pineapples.

Mine just turned 5, loves pizza without anything green on it.

Ebay is hot, $500 per day in sales this week. Sold my last item with in 30 minutes. Most unopened boxes Basketball cards with Michael Jordan or Zion Williamson. Crazy what the Jordan bio/documentary has done.

A positive is that the term "expert" will no longer be accepted without scrutiny.

[CID1990]

What if 50% of people over 65 die?

That would be a positive, right?

At least for SSA solvency?

For a while now, an expert has been relative to the political party one follows. If CNN refers to an expert, the right attacks, if Fox refers to an expert the left attacks. People only believe what they want to believe. I go by what my eyes tell me, as one TV personality says, "Boots on the Ground". Like people saying the virus is just like the flu, except it kills old people. I know young people, in their 30's, that have this virus, in and out of the hospital, using oxygen. I haven't known anyone that has been intubated at this point and hopefully I won't know anyone. Most of these people survive, but it's nothing I would want to deal with.

I remember when Nolan Ryan retired. Read that his cards skyrocketed in value. I have 3 of these in mint (or near mint) condition. Was tempted to sell two of them for $300 each. But never did.
