Thanks. TDW is for sure my home now, even though it's felt that way for some time.

I signed up during the Ellen Pao schism on reddit, had an alpha tester badge I was mildly proud of, and a good overall score (I'm not nearly the poster that some folks are). When TDW opened up I joined here and slowly stopped visitng Voat, but would still drop in a couple of times a week, mostly on the weekends. Yesterday afternoon was one of those days, and I initially thought it was a hack until I read Putt's message. I will miss my friends over there, and especially Friday Night Guitar Party and Sunday Gunday.

My point exactly. I'm 60 years old and folks have been dying from influenza all my life. My entire immediate family came down with the Hong Kong flu in late 1968, as well as about a third of my small home town. We were sick as dogs, and didn't close down shit.

We have an elderly neighbor (80+) who is in the hospital on a respirator right now, and her even older husband went to the ER today with a fever. Everyone in the neighborhood is freaking out about it as an example that the scamdemic is real (first illness that any of us have had) and we can't be around each other. I've tried countering with your same logic, but even my conservative wife doesn't want to hear it. It's frustrating.

I worked for an eight county health department district for 16 years. I didn't get to retire from there because 16 years of stupid was all I could take.

You might be surprised, every conservative I know either will be voting or already has. My wife has already voted, and I will be voting in the morning. We have no confidence our votes will be tallied fairly, but we're still fired up and voting anyway. None of my neighbors have taken down their Trump signs/flags yet.

I bought two of the king size firm pillows. Best pillows I've ever slept on, and I've had some good ones.

Stupid question I know, but will you be coming up I-95 through Georgia? And is your car already full?

I am that old, grew up in the 60's & 70's. I still have my Napster collection too.

I grew up in a zip code that no longer exists, 31317.

"If they survive." They won't, per se, but they'll shape shift into a completely different company we know nothing about and do it again.

I used to use the Solar Winds suite at a previous job and liked it, it really helped me keep an eye on things over the eight counties I was responsible for. In my last job hovever, we are/were using PRTG instead. I retired from there in October and haven't checked in lately, but I know those guys are breathing a sigh of relief.

Can confirm, I was shooting a .410 at about that age, graduated to a 12 gauge around 6th grade and killed my first deer. I didn't own a rifle of any kind until I was married though, didn't need one where I grew up.

I'd be happy to "get some" anything right now, but I'm using my reloading stock because there's nothing to be had. These are my handloads using pull down surplus bullets.

I know, I love it. My son is an AK fan, so we have fun with the term all the time.

Edit: Your usename is intriguing.

With that username, I sure as hell would.

Any way to get the logs for desktop time? I practically live here, but have never used a mobile device for access.

I applied, for what it's worth. I'm probably too old.

Sorry ma'am, didn't mean to misgender ya and all that. From where I sit, I can hear the 155s clearly and some of the smaller guns when the atmosphere is right.
