The county where "my" office is located will stop being in quarantine from 5AM Monday, but the one where I live will remain quarantined for at least another week. This is one of the stupidest things ever: there are no physical barriers between the two, no highway that you need to drive; it's the same fucking thing divided by arbitrary abstract lines - you can literally be in both counties at once if you stand in the middle of certain streets.

Which brings me to this opinion piece by the Washington Post's editorial board - it's about the U.S., of course, but I highlighted the part which applies to my own asphalt jungle as well:

this should have been posted in this thread.

Neil Young for president!

Yeah, no, he was born in Kenya ER I MEAN Canada.

I always thought that photo was either a) Photoshopped as fuck, or b) real, but basically a sign of Neil saying, "Yeah, you can use 'Rockin' In The Free World', but I'll spend all that money on things you HATE", the way Chrissie Hynde did it with Limbaugh and "My City Was Gone" - all those coins go to PETA, as I understand.

ew that fucking ugly bastard why do i have to wake up and look at it

i forgot how to block images on this board

eta: dark shadows reminded me of "strange paradise" which i went to look for on youtube. then i read an article on youtube that said that strange paradise was created in response to... dark shadows! 60s version lolololol. i didn't know there was one.

covid tv: strange paradise on youtube. weird and cheap as fuck. i always thought it was a british show but it's canadian!

Adams gets fired in 3.....2.....1.... (He's black too!)

I feel sorry for you Americans. So many contradictions coming from your "leaders" (of which I consider Adams to be one of the true ones).

pxp. Fascinating!

I must now do a major cleanup of the house, for photos today. When it lists I'll link it here, in case any Americans decide upon Canada. (Who can blame them?) It's a Divorce Sale, so the price may be rather attractive.

Qxp obviously. By which i mean, Qxe5

Please people quit listening to that miserable narcissistic fucking huckster.

Go watch “Strange Paradise” on youtube instead. So fucking weird! Relax and eat and so on.

Skuj, did you ever see that show?

Bd6. I check now and then. Don't know that show but I adore Twin Peaks.

strange paradise is a canadian concoction from the 60s

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244930/

(weird that you never saw it. i wonder if jim jarmusch ever saw it, given the title)

original dark shadows was from 1966

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059978/

per wikipedo, the canadians were riding the dark shadows wave

there was a dark shadows remake in 1991 (the one i'm seeing)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099363/

there are some hotties in it if that interests you lmfao

the twin peaks connection is my own. it's not the same story at all but it's a similar setting and atmosphere and "tone" from a cheap show that appeared a year later. i don't know if this show is quoting the original dark shadows but i assume it was heavily influenced by twin peaks which was a hit in its day and resembles this some-- only this is objectively dumber.

anyway.... Qxc7?

We are obviously playing two different games. My B is at d6, so how can you go to c7? Maybe I screwed up. Sorry if I did. Let's review our moves. Later.

Coronavirus samples stolen from Chicago lab employee’s car, police say

Coronavirus test samples were stolen from the car of a lab employee in Chicago, according to police and local reports.

The 42-year-old woman had five frozen samples in the trunk of her Jeep when she parked it outside a gas station on the city’s South Side and went inside the store, Chicago police said in a statement. The samples were to be tested for covid-19, the disease caused by the virus, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, citing a law enforcement source.

As the woman walked into the station, a man climbed into her Jeep, which she had left unlocked and running, police said. She and a relative went looking for the car and found it about two miles away. They alerted nearby officers.

When the officers approached the Jeep, two men jumped out and ran. The officers were not able to catch the pair. The test samples were missing from the trunk, police said.

Police are continuing their search for the two men.

Well this is all fucked. I gotta walk Dude. Sorry it turned out like this. I likely fucked up somewhere.

i got some important lab supplies today and i'm, er, "cooking" :D

(not that kind, walter white!)

im sorry i fucked this one up

ok that was the end of the chess olympics :D

Lol (or not but still)
It gave me a flashback to the movie I saw yesterday He Never Died starring Henry Rollins as let's say a biblical cannibal, who's at one point so hungry that he sucks blood out of a bloodbag then accidentally drops it to the floor and first starts licking it from the floor, then ends up soaking it with a sponge and squeezing it into a glass.
And the bloodbag he purchased from a med student, from the trunk of his car.

Apologies for being gorily offtopic

On the Corona topic, the last few days the hospitals have reported less admissions and less people in the ICU in the Netherlands. It's only small decreases but still. We hope this trend continues

And also this could be a breakthrough, and if it is really proven:
Researchers Radboudumc: essential mechanism covid-19 exposed
(This is a link to the google translation of the Dutch article, hope it's accessible abroad)

Oh and lmao that my chess prediction really became true :D :D :D

hahahaa i see images as links now

yes skuj. i fucked up yr horsie the other way

Nah maybe I fucked it up. Funny though.....this was the first one we played where I thought I was, you know, keeping up. :)

Some of you may call me a covidiot for this. I won't argue with you. But I made a judgement call:

We were supposed to be in Tofino for 3 nights starting today, but obviously that vacation got fucked. I didn't organize Easter egg shit. But I told my 11 year old that today, if we stay 2m from everyone, we can go to Wally World and score a big lego. He loves that shit. So we did. And I picked up Blu Rays of The Joker, and Little Women, to boot.

But here's the catch: We walked there. It's 6km each way, mostly along an abandoned railway line. He (and I) loved the walk. The whole outing (with rests, snack stops, and Wally World deliberations) was 3hrs50min. Clearly, we won't do this every day. And I picked up work shifts for 3 days in a row starting tomorrow anyway. So I'm really glad we did this today.

that’s a really nice story, covidiot! :D

i don’t know, i talk to other canadians online and they’re all staying the fuck home.

but i understand the important need, he’s gotta feel good right now

...

so you go to wallyworld but you don’t know sam’s club?

—

also: you won the last one!

We live in a smallish town with much greenspace - hundreds of people are out walking and biking, keeping distances from each other. I'd fuckin die if I had to stay indoors. I really do think we have the privilege of getting outdoors safely here. As for Wally World, we lined up to get in, 2m apart, and inside the crowds were sparse. It was very doable, keeping away from others, with red arrows down each aisle for direction of travel. I fuckin hate going to Wally World at the best of times, but in this town they have the lego and the Blu Ray releases on time.

Sam's Club wtf?

I WON. WTF? :) A very hollow victory.

didnt you drop your king too previously?

sam’s club is the wallyworld-owned version of costco. they sell in bulk. you might have seen “sam’s choice” brand at walrats? coffee, beef jerky, that sorta shit. no?? sam walton was the founder. wal-etc

I never look for anything in Wally World other than lego and Blu Rays.

"...drop your king..." Eh? :)

Oh I get it. I resigned a couple (or 3?) times when I knew that you had fucked me up. But that last game was just errors in communication.

i misread and counted your move as self-strangulation when it actually wasn't

purely my fault

could have asked to take back but it was beyond

if we play again we use full dashes

start + end position

adhd is a thing xD

Ok. Well, fuckin, I'm white, and e2 to muthafuckin e4, Bitch.
