Latest including the one I missed in my last past. Also sort of side upgrading my copy of Space Harrier with a copy signed by the box artist (along with Mechanized Attack being signed). 

I mean at 3,000 deaths per day, that is like wiping out the the population of the county I live in per day. 15,000 puts it at the one I live it plus the next county over...

I missed one game in this pic. Ill get it on the next set. 

Anyone else get their campaign ad letter from the White House via the IRS from President Trump saying their CARES Act deposit went through?

So if I am reading everything correctly, Trump is saying this lady has the single greatest immunity to covid-19:

She's an independent? Because she sounds very Republican-y to me.

She was a democrat.

Even in the infamous “what do you have to lose?” briefing he wasn’t saying it was a miracle cure. His position seems to me to always have been “some doctors have said this helped their patients so try it until something better comes along”.

 

Its interesting to me that people have now shifted away from the idea that he was shilling for it because he had Sanofi stock once it was revealed that his holdings amounted at most like $1000.

Hey $1000 is a lot for somebody that cashes 13 cent checks.

The county next to us had its first death on what was its first confirmed case. I'm a bit worried as one of our game night people's daughter frequents the store the guy was a clerk of (it was a convenience store across the street from their house). And her family isn't exactly the healthiest of groups. So here is hoping their don't contract and their played things smart. 

Damn America, if we just would stay home now we can get back to our daily mass shootings instead of watching other countries steal our thunder. 

@chakoo I try to keep the retro industry running :P

I have a few more some (mostly NES games) sometime during the week. Ill post again when they arrive. 

Haven't done one of these in a bit.

We could get through this pandemic more easily if we just rounded up every Republican and executed them, leaving their body in a mass grave in the middle of Nevada that we can just nuke when the purge is over. 

Maybe we finally found a use for Yucca Mountain. 

My town has confirmed its first positive case. Needless to say the backlash of people still proclaiming that it is a fake virus on the hospital's post is amazing. 

Just got do playing the first half of Shadow Hearts. It has been a series I have wanted to actually play and after playing through Koudelka at the start of our state's stay-at-home order I figured why the hell not play through the entire series.

Prior to COVID for flu season:

 

At the public entry: "Please check in at the front desk. No visitors younger than 12 is permitted in patient care areas."

At the elevators: "Please check in at the front desk. No visitors younger than 12 is permitted in patient care areas."

In the elevators: "Please check in at the front desk. No visitors younger than 12 is permitted in patient care areas."

At every elevator lobby: "Please check in at the front desk. No visitors younger than 12 is permitted in patient care areas."

Prior to entering an inpatient unit: "Please check in at the front desk. No visitors younger than 12 is permitted in patient care areas."

 

Visitor: *Walks in with a stroller* "We're here to see _______. Is it ok if my eight month old comes?"

Now the hospital in my town forces you to be pre-screened through the ER for scheduled appointments in the outpatient clinic. After being escorted into the ER by a deputy to make sure you are the only person (or guardian if the patient is a minor) going into the appointment. From there you are given a paper that informs you that you will be removed if you touch anything during the escort to the exam room.

Guys, we can learn from Melania. She has been social distancing from Donald for some time now.

I have a few regular customers at work that work at the Tesla factory.... Shit! 

The biggest thing about that is that there are people that commute to work there from as far as Tonapah. So the number of counties that potentially can be affected is pretty large. But like most of the rurals, the mentality is that this is still not that big of a deal. Hell my county has actually traveled more since the start of March. 

Collector's Edition just arrived. 

So the bill included a break for individuals that purchase real estate.

 

Quote

When individuals buy real estate, even if they do so using loans or other people's money, they can "depreciate" -- or write off, over time -- the cost of the physical property on their taxes. Suppose, for example, that a taxpayer bought a $2 million building as an investment. He would be able to deduct, or subtract from his taxes, something like $100,000 a year for 20 years to defray the costs of buying and improving the property. The taxpayer would be able to take these deductions even if the building were going up in value. This is why Donald Trump loves depreciation, as he told the nation during a presidential debate in 2016 -- it's one of many ways he avoided paying millions in taxes. Such love seems to runs in the family: Jared Kushner has utilized tax depreciation, too.

That is nice considering hospitals are having issues getting masks.

In air from a cough: 2-3 hours

On cardboard: up to 24 hours

On plastic and steel: up to 3 days.

So you probably don't have to worry about the cardboard, but the plastic bubble filler and whatever item you bought could definitely still be infected with Prime delivery speeds.

I dont know the my last few orders have been delayed by UPS with the following message:

"Due to global health events beyond our control, your package is being held for delivery at a later date."

Most of the stuff is taking just around 2 weeks to receive from Amazon when shipping via UPS. Now stuff shipped with USPS is actually taking less time for me so I let sit in the garage for a few day before opening. 

Completely anecdotal, but those virus survival times are also the reason that I have been packing anything that is 3d printed into a box and let it sit for a week before donating to our local hospital.

So Trump won't sign it?

What restrictions is he going to ease exactly? The Governors have been issuing the stay in place orders not him.  He can't order them to open for business. There has been little to no actual Federal action from what I understand.

I think he is going to force the CDC to change the guidelines which is what a few of the governors have been basing their decisions on. But, like you mentioned, at this point I see the governors continuing the course and telling the President to shove off. At which point he will get angry and attempt to block funding to the states that don't follow the new guidelines.

I have put my nametag from work in my pocket or bag before thinking "It'll be fine, I'll remember to be careful when I go to grab it" and sure enough it will get opened from jostling and I'll forget and wind up stabbing myself when I reach my hand in.

 

I wonder if anyone using a corncob to wipe thier ass has ever realized they left in a cob holder mid-wipe before.

Funny enough, the 3D printing community is struggling with the sanitizing issues on 3d printed masks. While the filter inserts can be tossed away the masks themselves aren't easily sanitized.
