Re: Coronavirus: COVID-19

felter,,

You just met the nasty realities behind a Covid response that's became so politicized that the only real procedures being followed are being made up at the local level and nobody involved wants to really face making them public for fear of an ugly backlash.

Re: What are you watching now ? Movies and TV

All 7 episodes are now posted on YouTube.
If you search for "Atropa" you'll see dust had it in production for 3-4 years so we DUST fans had a long wait, but it was worth it.

Re: What are you watching now ? Movies and TV

I've been watching the new Dust (and Netflix) series
"Atropa"

Excellent Sci-Fi and "who/what done it".
Thankfully all the episodes are posted on YouTube each time a day after streaming on Netflix.

Re: Linux for gaming, is this a good time to jump the windows boat?

This might be a bit outside of just the gaming issue, but touches on the larger issues concerned with Linux OS(s). This is about using linux virtual machines to run older versions of the Windows OS and the trouble it caused me. It's a precautionary take (or should be). At one point I was running Lin...

Hate to double post, but my particular field lost one of their greats. Architectural Designer I. M. Pei. You know his work, especially the glass pyramid in Paris.

@Morkonan

Yeah he was a regular at the cons and loved fans (which some who I won't mention) tended to avoid them.
