@NintendoByNature - That’s kind of how it went for us too, neighboring town (and stares) shutting down first, then we followed suit. It’s a hit to the pocket book, but we’ll do our best to have fun. Hope you do the same and you all stay healthy.

@ThanosReXXX - I looked it up for total accuracy: The t zone is your forehead down to your chin, and it includes your eyes, nose, and mouth. Don’t touch it. Now that you know, you’ll be overwhelmed with the need to touch your t zone.

@HobbitGamer - There’s a package from the Amazon on my front step right now. It’s been there all day. I don’t know what to do.

Is that true if we open an e-mail, we can get infected by Corona virus ?

@ThanosReXXX I mean, I've been making a lot of jokes about drinking Corona. As in the beer. It is better to laugh than to cry or huddle in fear. If that's what people need to do - I'd rather they make the jokes.

@bimmy-lee I've never thought to try peanut butter, but jelly sure sounds good.

@HobbitGamer It's less about the money and more about the general damage the weapons they produce do. I am thoroughly against war profiteering. But there is no doubt that companies like Boeing benefit greatly from conflict.

@bimmy-lee You DO know that I was only half serious, right? Although I honestly didn't know what a T zone was, but I was jokingly referring to toilet paper, because I've seen plenty of people abbreviating that to TP, which to me sounds like a native American's tent...

Okay, PLEASE don't tell me that those are actually serious questions.

@Heavyarms55 Yeah, that's true. Like I said in the Corona virus thread, it's probably also a coping mechanism, as shown by people often nervously laughing in what seems to be the most inappropriate of situations. I just normally stick to a kind of self-applied rule that you shouldn't make jokes too soon about serious issues like these, because it might hurt or insult people actually suffering from it, so it kind of feels like a not done thing, if you get what I'm saying. Once it has all blown over, then all bets are off, though...

I just got an email from a Nigerian prince. Something about this one feels legit. I think I’m gonna do it.

@HobbitGamer - My dog beat me to it. We should be good then, he hasn’t eaten any pangolins lately.

@ThanosReXXX - Haha, well, I personally had to look up ā€œthe T zoneā€ last week just to be sure I was right, so I didn’t think it was out of the question for you not to know it, or to know it by a different name. Yeah, the TP joke went zooming by overhead, I’m not in proper comedic form.

Had a good chuckle at this one.

Side note: coronavirus related, I'm supposed to be going to Houston for a bachelor party on the 24th of April. Makes me
Wonder how far we'll be by then for me to even go.

One of the divisions from the main building ended up in our large conference room until further notice (part of the social distancing measures). Today, they had someone bring in a pack of Corona (I suspect their manager) for them to close out Second Friday with. While there's a company rule for no drinking on the job, that gets bent a bit on occasion as long as people don't go crazy. Many of the higher-ups know it goes on but don't do anything since it isn't a usual occurrence. (Plus, a few of them partake in it lol)

Pardon the next section, but my patience is wearing a bit thin after a stressful week due to personal reasons (such as the previously mentioned printer trouble) and beyond. Need to get this text out of my head. Any further mentions of this on the site after the following section from me will be referred to as NOPE, and I'll be staying out of the designated thread for the time being.

[BEGINNING OF RANT ON GLOBAL PHENOMENON]
Many people have lost their minds. I understand a lot of the measures being put in place, but some of it seems to be a bit much. I understand limiting public exposure, reinforcing good hygiene habits, and other common sense measures when you're ill or around those who are vulnerable. But the hoarding of random supplies (Buying up water and particularly the TP hoarding are really making me scratch my head) outside of areas that aren't under active quarantine, discrimination of those who are ill or a certain ethnic origin, canceling almost literally everything (And again, some of this makes sense, but...), blaming literally everyone and everything, the full political spectrum taking advantage of peoples' uncertainty and misery....I am, quite bluntly, sick of it all.

I know there are a lot of unknowns with this and that some of the caution is warranted, but some are acting like it's the next plague.
[END OF RANT ON GLOBAL PHENOMENON]

Now if nobody minds, I'm going to spend the rest of my evening cleaning, relaxing, and not paying any more mind to NOPE today.

@Tyranexx NOPE
Enjoy that relaxing cleaning. It’s nice to put things in order after a busy week. I’m about to treat myself to some Live PD and peppered jerky. Oh, and I finished the first episode of Batman. Definitely keep an eye on a sale so far. It’s great, but we’ll have to see how the other episodes hold up. I did already have one major decision that really made me try to think ahead like Bruce.

@HobbitGamer I'd normally clean tomorrow and will likely leave the vacuuming until in the morning at this point. I'll be gone the whole afternoon and evening to a family friend's wedding a little over an hour away. I'm doing many of my weekend computer rounds this evening as it's bill weekend. I'll be heading offline shortly for a nice shower, some Ori (I went a bit exploration-happy yesterday evening and hope to wrap up the story tonight), and a bit of Tolkien. I haven't had many chances to read this week.

Thanks for the TT Batman update! It's sounding more and more like something I'll definitely enjoy when I get around to it. I haven't played many games like visual novels, but I should get some practice in when I play the Ace Attorney Trilogy.

Might fire up Owlboy tonight. Heard it's got of zelda inspiration so that'll be cool. Wanted to start AC:Rogue next, but Owlboy came in today, and I'm pretty excited for it.

Tonight we played Kahoot in the Java programming class. It was fun.

@Vinny "java" are they games for phone ?

@Ninfan Java is a programming language. I had a course for it back in the day. I'm mildly jealous of @Vinny though; we didn't get to create any games in it. Most of the homework assignments had to deal with business scenarios and logic puzzles.
