It's okay, he had a double shot of Clorox before he went. Remember the good old days when thinking "potato" was spelled with an "e" made someone too stupid to be president?

Anytime you're away from something for a few years, it's going to take some time to get back into it. Stick with it and soon enough you'll get the hang of things again. Things can be frustrating, but it ain't the space shuttle. Hang around, ask some questions and get some help when you need it. You'll be back up to speed in no time. Turn off advanced lighting in your graphics preferences, you might be surprised at how well it can run on a fairly modest computer.

I have a 4GB AMD RX550 that Firestorm doesn't seem to be seeing correctly, it's only letting me set the texture buffer to 1024MB, how can I get it to use the full 2048MB it should be able to? Thanks.

Good luck getting any kind of mask, as far as I can tell they sold out weeks ago and there aren’t any in the consumer supply chain, they’ve all been diverted to hospitals and first responders. Around here bandanas sold out instantly as soon as there was a hint of the CDC reversing itself on masks. The times I’ve been out a good percentage of people have been wearing something. I guess around half.

Viruses and the droplets of spit they ride on are much larger than gas molecules.

Or his girlfriend’s house. That’s always entertaining.

So what's their magic number of dead bodies?

That's 20,000 lives as of yesterday. It's not we could get 20,000 more deaths, it's we'd already have 20,000 more deaths.

If the United States had Sweden's COVID-19 mortality rate, it wouldn't be 44,000 dead here, it would be more like 64,000. So sure, I wouldn't trade for Sweden's figures. The accuracy of the antibody tests has been widely questioned. The data is far from perfect, but the New York antibody figure just stands out so far it instantly triggers my "wait what?" reaction. I mean, every day I look at these numbers and it's like 80, 150, 112, 56, 78, 2500, 60... one of these is not like the others. Am I certain of my position, not really, but looking at the data we do have from almost every country on the planet, I'm more confident with erring on the side of caution and rolling up the streets for a couple months than betting there is a massive number of asymptomatic cases that went undetected and business as normal won't kill 12% of the population.

This hinges on the test being accurate, and New York having more cases of COVID-19 than confirmed cases in the rest of the world combined. I gotta be honest, I do not find that to be a compelling foundation for the Swedish plan. Wishful thinking can be a powerful motivator to believe something, and that's what the Swedish approach looks like to me. I wasn't a biology major, but I did crack open a couple history textbooks in school, and I have a pretty good idea what happens when a disease is introduced to a population with no natural immunity. Finding a reason to do nothing about it is not a great plan. It does sound like a good way to find out what the actual mortality rate is, though.

Countries that were proactive before it got out of control seem to be doing much better. The prospects of keeping it under control by identifying infected individuals, effective contact tracing and testing seem to be considerably better than having Coronavirus parties to gain immunity. Sweden has almost ten times the COVID-19 mortality of South Korea and is halfway to catching China. I don't think it's going too far out on a limb to say Sweden's clever plan is made of fail.

One of the cool things we can do with science is figure out why things happen. I haven't watched Michael Moore's movie, but we have plenty of good, hard science about what's happening and why that can't be casually dismissed.

Have you looked at the system recommendations? They aren’t exactly encouraging people to splurge on extravagant computer hardware.

I’m working from home now, which is a welcome change. I was getting really burned out at my job. I’m not thrilled about the extra stress from worrying about relatives, though.

Now they want to emulate Sweden. I guess no one told them the key for that plan to work, they have to act like adults.

I found a loophole and created an account with a username identical to one that had already been used. About ten years ago I made an account with a username objectionable enough that LL made me change it. Fast forward to yesterday and I was poking around registration portals to see if I could get an account with one of the new usernames and not pay for it. No luck, but I did type in that objectionable name for the lulz and to my surprise, it was available. And I was able to make an account using it. So if you had a "Resident" account that had a name change prior to the new system going in place (which is probably almost no one) it's possible to re-use a username. I also can't believe that word isn't blocked at signup.

Right click or ctrl-click on it and open it. Or go to System Preferences, Security & Privacy and click "Open Anyway".

The best drivers for that chipset are the Windows 7 drivers, Intel didn't make Windows 10 drivers for it. In my experience, you can install the Windows 7 drivers on 10, but it still won't run SL. Even if you can load the drivers and get SL to run, it's going to be so bad on that computer you'll wish you hadn't.

I don't expect it to look very much different from the pre-COVID19 world. Governments will do everything they can to make that happen. I continue to be optimistic and hope our new post-COVID19 world is dark and rainy all the time with a great Vangellis soundtrack.

Utter horror is Googling your name expecting to find that sort of thing and getting a bunch of pictures of Dog the Bounty Hunter's kid. 🤮
