I thought months ago would end shoved in press. Think the key is leave it on counter so you see it. Fantastic slow cooker group on fb with brilliant recipes, too.
btw is the air fryer still getting a run these days?

Growth rate trend is starting to look good here now. Trending to be in the low single figures by the 5th of April or so.

100k additional tests have been procured, new facility in CityWest to help manage infected patients.

There is always hope.
Cleared out two massive shrubberies over the course of Jan\Feb. Put down grass seed about 2/3 weeks back with the intention of doubling or more my lawn area. Was just out in the back garden, and, wait what is that green tinge, is that...yes it is.
Little grass shoots emerging in the Spring.
A suitable metaphor for life, or just 'wow, RD3 managed to grow grass'.
I will take either tbf."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Theres about 5% of decent stuff in there but getting to the stage whether going through the rest is worth my headspace!

The problem arose as I can't find a way to configure the program to read those files from anywhere apart from a local drive on the machine. Your second option is along the lines of something I was thinking but I just thought there might be a better solution in Linux for this that I hadn't considered as I don't work with it very much.

The video messages and projector/screen were a big success and a lovely surprise for Mrs V on her birthday. May have been one of the best pressies I’ve gotten her in a long time. I used iMovies on my iPhone yesterday morning for about 45 minutes to edit the stuff together before she woke up.
My bro got his kids to do a re-enactment of ROGs drop goal for the grand slam as a great moment that she’d been to. Absolutely hilarious. I’ll try and post it later.
I really didn’t get all the hating on Laz the other day. We need to stay sane and stay kind to one another during this thing. Enough stress out there without this place adding to it for folk.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Another incredibly senior and successful Doctor with a criminally bad graph (As an aside plotting the daily rise or fall is a useless way to learn anything). Today's figure is less than yesterday's so he just puts it in as zero? Plotting actual data points and then captioning the chart with something about a 5 day exponential model?

Handy when I bought the first pad, used to toss veg and cheaper meats into it and let it do its magic while I was at work. Well worth buying, although I keep mine in the cupboard due to a small kitchen.

You're setting yourself up for a graph where the signal-to-noise is very bad. If the spread of the virus is exponential and you're trying to lower the exponent then plotting daily new cases vs previous day's total is a far better way to visualise if you're winning. This is what most commentators are plotting.

On the brief exercise within 2K thing I've been in and out of the town a few times since the new rules came in and a couple of things I've noticed:
People out jogging cycling and walking with kids on patently unsafe country roads who would normally have driven to the Canal or a quiet road.
In the town there are lots of people out jogging around housing estates where families are out walking making the whole place look a bit crowded while the bypass and Canal roads which would normally have lots of people but not at all crowded were more or less empty.

Was wondering what to do with the kid's bedtime tonight, they normally go up at 7.
Will we put them up at 7, will we wait until 8, what will we do etc etc.
Then a thought occurred to me.

Haven't seen it mentioned, but ecollege courses have been made free because of the current situation. You normally have to be receiving social welfare payments to do them. Haven't looked through them all but might be worth a spin for people with extra time on their hands. https://www.ecollege.ie/apply/Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.
