Detroit literally yesterday legalized sports gambling, all the casinos downtown have sportsbooks now, and...sports don't exist anymore. :rofl:

Belgium has gone into complete lockdown. All social gatherings are banned. All schools are closed. All sorts are cancelled. All hotels, restaurants, bars are closed. All non-essential shops and stores are ordered closed (pharmacies and food stores). Public transportation remains but odds strongly disparaged. All employers are ordered to make work from home possible for all personnel for who being on site is not essential, all until April third.
Well, that's gonna be something.
 
All schools and daycares in the province are closed for two weeks following March Break.

This is a bit confounded by the fact that all four teachers' unions are in the middle of very ugly contract negotiations with rotating strikes. My wife and I are HOPING she's going to still get paid for those two weeks cause we're fucked if she doesn't.

Also, Toronto Comic Con is refusing to cancel itself for some reason.
 
Buy bidets you chafed assed animals.
My experience using a bidet the one time I have:

"Ah, so clean. But... Now I'm... Wet. Do I use a towel? Am I seriously supposed to dirty a towel every time I pop? Cause that's like three towels a day."
 
HA HA HA FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU.



Anyways, my hermit ass is now going offline for a while to eat pork and play videogames. I hope when I wake up tomorrow the ramp up isn't as bad as from yesterday to today.

I just dry off with a square or two. But that's because we didn't spring for the one with the built in dryer. I'm not laundering any poop towels.

Bitcoin is down something like 27% today.

Also the Dow dropped 2100 pts today, which means Trump is not only the first President in history to preside over a two thousand point drop in the Dow, he's also the first President to preside over TWO such two thousand point drops within the same term.

Damn, even video games are getting cancelled

Thanks Obama
 
All extra curriculars have been cancelled at school, and students have been reminded to be sure to always bring their iPads and chargers home everyday in case school get shut down before spring break next Friday. It's nice that our district is already prepared for closing down since every kid gets a loaner iPad, but my daughter is already over the idea because she hates having to work on her own.
 
Also I stopped at Safeway, and every checklane is open, which is how you know shit is getting real.

I've not been told to work from home yet, but I'm wondering if this training session at A&M I'm supposed to give monday is actually going to happen or not.
 
My excuse is that a.) I've been getting texts and e-mails and notifications, and b.) some of this stuff directly affects me (namely, schools and the sports stuff).
 
I appreciate big YouTubers trying to get out in front of the people who are most likely to blow off safety measures.

 
Yup, me too. Not just approval, but "Highly recommended"
I'm in a weird place. The company I work for got bought by another company. When I found another job, the parent company counteroffered, and gave me a work contract guaranteeing me a year--but they left me in place at the original job. I took it, because the new job I'd found paid less, and that gave me a year to find something better.

The parent company just went all telework today, but I only found out through the grapevine. So, I wrote my new boss and said "uhm, me too?" Since I technically work for them now, no matter where my butt sits, I think they pretty much had to approve it.
