Thanks for that. At first I thought his isolation was insane, but his age does put him in a particularly bad risk group. My father is over that age, and he's also near Atlanta, but isolated in a suburban home, wears a mask, gets food f

I'm pretty skeptical about online therapy. Creating yet another abstraction between human and human seems to be going entirely in the wrong direction. One of the big issues with the lockdown was that many municipalities considered subs

No kids were 'put in cages,' outside of normal detention processes that predated Trump and even some of the Obama era. If you only get your news from your "trusted source" you're going to get it wrong. The world med

Your opinions probably align with everyone's (see Paul Graham's recent post on Orthodoxy Privilege). I hate online happy hour because there's some person who's going to try to talk about politics and won't take the

There are a number of people who want to get out of cities due to the current situation. If I hadn't signed a lease back in April, I'd be moving from my current city right now. Unless something significant happens to change my min

You have to assume 2 basic ideas for the masks to be useful. First is asymptotic spread, which, although might be true, is more political and less settled science[0]. Second, the ideas that masks work to protect people from you for respirat

Well, that's debatable. The WHO made a statement that asymptomatic spread was rare but then immediately walked it back[0], quite awkwardly I might add if you watch the spokesperson's press video, most likely due to US political pr

I had a few 4k laptops and .. eh .. they're excessive. I have a 4k monitor I do my photo editing on and it makes a difference, but a 13-15" laptop screen is really too small for me to care.

That's not illegal. So long as they have probable cause, and identify as LEO, the police don't have to tell them why they're being charged. That happens at arraignment. They don't even have to read the suspect their righ
