I finally have enough time to deal with this game‘s bullshit. :rejoice

Remember. You aren't actually replaying the game 4 times. Just 2 runs from like the midway point. It's shorter than Skyrim, Red Dead 2, and most JRPGs.

Animal crossing is gonna make so much fucking money.

What if the internet goes out before release, is suicide an ethical option?

They still haven't decided to shut down our main office yet, despite all this concern...

...but they did just tell us that everyone on my team is now 100% remote until further notice.  Might only be a week, might be for a few weeks, but-

Hoarding canned soup is a rookie mistake. That‘s not even enough calories for a day and takes up space.
Meanwhile I can survive off a pack of flour for at least three days :karen

Heading back into work for another round of “How can I wait tables while touching as little as possible.”  Can’t wait for all of the geriatrics to inform me that they are in a hurry because they need to get to the performing arts center.

Yeah, I know you’re in a hurry to go mingle with the thousands of other old folks who just had to go see Les Miserables today, but your gonna have to wait because I need to go scrub my hands.

I don't understand companies talking about wfh like it's a 2-3 week thing. Or places like Disneyland shutting down for 15 days.

This thing isn't going to suddenly be gone in 3 weeks. I think realistically anything closing or companies doing wfh to make a difference it's going to have to continue for 6-12 months.

It's about spreading the infection curve, so the health system doesn't collapse.
You can't stop the infection, but you can slow it down as much as possible.

I told everyone, the Chinese bioweapon is coming our way and mainly targets short people.

Italy has the highest number of cases next to China and America is panicking.

lol, everyone was blowing off my wfh solutions for our office and now that the schools are closing, our employees that have kids have to stay home with the kids so we have to figure out how to do wfh for them.


Also apparently the supermarket run has hit here. I'm pretty stocked up for a few months, so hopefully that gets better in a month or two.

On one hand, it's surprising that my state (Ohio) appears to be one of the more proactive states in the country in treating this thing seriously.

On the other hand, it's probably due of the decades of depression and low morale among the populace,  so we just assume the worst.

Italy latest daily death toll at 250, toll rising faster day-by-day. Almost 25% of total fatalities which is now at 5408.

To balance, some seemingly good news, in a sense, high asymptotic count. Which could suggest total infected counts are lowballed by a good margin which decreases true mortality.

Yeah there was a lot of early carriers here that had little to no symptoms. But that also made them infect a shit load of others.  :doge

The main place Danish people got infected from, was a ski resort in Austria. At a bar there, the bartender used a whistle to get through the crowd of people every night, and some of the bar guests also blew the whistle several times for whatever reason.... they all came home without symptoms, and infected a whole bunch of people. Some big brain shit there. :lol

My mom finally decided to head home from Cebu as well. We closed our borders for all none Danes.  :doge

From what I'm hearing, the reason for all the local quarantining is because they want the virus to spread as slowly as possible. My brother said that in his hospital, they were talking about how maybe 5% of patients need to be intubated which requires a bed in the ICU ward, which are very limited. So the goal is to space out the infection as much as possible so that they don't run out of ICU capacity.

But realistically, 12-18 months before this particular virus is under control with a vaccine of any kind.

Aren't you a lawyer? I've never worked in a legal office but that seems like one of the most remoteable jobs in the world.

To answer your question, I've only used the VNC remote software app and it worked well. Pricing seems pretty reasonable too:

If you haven't already, the trickiest thing is having good filepath organization for all the papers that y'all keep...on file. So infuriating when you can't find where someone saved something from years earlier.
