Covid Lockdown Activities

[Dadhawk]

Working on a Saturday, which I haven't had to do in 5 years. At least I'm still getting paid.

I have been watching old MotoGP races on youtube. You want to talk about racing hard, been lovin it. F1 posted a replay of the 16' Brazilian GP. Was a great race. Sounds like they are going to post a race once a week. The NFL game pass is also free right now if you want to go back and watch games clear back to 2009. I think I have more to watch now then before.

Been reading a lot, at this rate I won't have much to read in another week.

Bought some inexpensive Logitech webcams last week and went around installing them on a couple family member's computers today so they can Skype. This will most likely result in unintended consequences for me so I also installed Team Viewer on their machines to facilitate remote troubleshooting of cockpit errors.

No keyboard changes required ^^

Fer sure, fer sure - I have enough problems using my regular keyboard, with it's big yellow buttons and large print letters and numbers, let alone some "alternate" thing -

Edit: Oh wait, wrong covid thread... Whatever

Has your agent considered giving away a free roll of toilet paper at open houses? A bundle of TP with a full price offer?

Seriously, it's got to be a tough time to sell a house. Hang in there. -

Oh, we went to the grocery store today. No meat, still no paper, but at least the bread is back! Turns out we will be having filet mignon later in the week, as the higher-end cuts of beef were all that was left.

And there was this old lady stocking shelves or something that decided that some words in passing was an invitation to talk with us from a distance that borders on uncomfortably close in normal times... SMH...

This is all simple, just switch to a keyboard designed for APL programming.

Same here. Good luck finding hamburger.

I wanted to make some fried chicken a few days ago. Not a leg, thigh, or whole chicken to be found. The only thing left was the way overpriced wings.

Yeah, luckily we picked up a bunch of ground beef for tacos with my brother last week, but he cancelled so now we have extra.

Wings and chicken backs are all the chicken left. And organs.

Oh no, that won't work for me -

The buttons are too small and they aren't bright yellow, the numbers and letters are too small and all of those funny little symbols just confuse the hell out of me -

But, thanks for the suggestion.

(I wonder what APL is?)

It literally stands for "A Programming Language". It's a computer programming language that used to be used pretty heavily in situations requiring a lot of math. I did some programming in it a very long time ago.

an example (I stole off the Internet because I couldn't do this now if I wanted to without studying it for a week)

throws←?10000⍴6

this one line greats a 10,000 element array and stores the basic result of thowing a single die 10,000 times.

Now by using

+/1=throws

You return the number of times 1 appears in those 10,000 throws.

I'm being tortured physically and psychologically by my kids. They force me to draw 20-30 of the Cars movie characters everyday. I'm worried about my ears due to close distance shouting activities. I've had a kick on my face tonight on a bed time wrestling session, and it still hurts. Baby sitting is a very hard job! I'm about to loose my mind.

Thanks.

OK, let me try that on my calculator -
