2020 Hurricane Season w/ special guest Covid-19
This shit enrages me. Nobody makes anyone feel anything. You're in charge of your own feelings. I mean, if this is how it works, why can't we all just "make" our wives feel like having sex 24/7?

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
We have a PC in my office that's stuck on 3.1 because the program they're running can't get configured to run on anything newer. It's been like this for over 10 years.

Official "Fuck this stupid ass-commercial" thread
We lost internet during a storm the other night, so the Roku was out of commission. I turned on one of the weird antenna channels and every other ad was for a law firm that wanted to hear from people that were raped while in the boy scouts. I didn't know they had Vatican-level problems in the scouts.

I pulled the trigger on a 4a last night. The delivery date is around Oct. 15-17, so I think you're right about the demand.

Android Thread
My Moto Z2 is shitting the bed as we speak and it is time to upgrade. I've been using Motorola phones the last 5+ years but they seem to go bad after 2 years or so, I'm ready for something new. I'm cheap as hell, so I guess the Pixel 4a is the way to go? I don't care for flagship phones or spending tons of money. I also don't want to buy a phone that's on it's way out, tech-wise, so I'm not buying a used S8 or the like.

Sell. Me. A Mattress.
I've had my Tempurpedic hybrid for 6 months now. We really like it, doesn't get too hot and it's just the right mix of support and comfort. I didn't want to spend $3600 but I don't have any regrets thus far.

COVID-19 medical discussion
I hope this is the right topic for this, apologies if not. I was checking the CDC website and it has a list of medical conditions that would cause someone to be "at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19". One of these is obesity, which they determine as someone with a BMI of 30+. Obesity is on the same list as cancer, COPD, sickle cell and diabetes. Our office has listed diabetics as "at risk" and working from home 100% but we have people in the office who I know are obese. Is this something that should be adressed? Would it be an HR nightmare? (I say yes). If a person brought up osesity as a reason to work from home for their own safety, should their concern be taken seriously?

General San Francisco Thread
Thanks for this info. I assumed that there were going to be various businesses or attractions that would be closed or running at the minimum but I guess I didn't think it would be as bad as that. Being in OK, you can lose perspective on what's happening in the larger population centers. Oh well, we'll see what's happening in the spring.

General San Francisco Thread
Bumping this thread. The wife and I are thinking about heading to SF in October. Not sure how the covid situation is affecting travel to California at the moment. I checked the California Health Dept website and didn't see any restrictions but I could've missed it. Not to be a dick but I'd like to stay someplace with fewer feces/bum problems. I do understand that every large city has these issues but SF seems to have more than their share. I read the posts above and think that Hotel Vital and The Huntington might be my top 2 choices but I'm open to recommendations.

College Football in 2020 in danger?
Probably because many of those players aren't there for school. So if students aren't allowed on campus, why stick around? They can go back home, smoke weed and slay poon. Or maybe that's just what I'd do.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Question for you BMW guys. My wife has her eye on a 2017 430i Convertible. I've never owned or even been around BMWs much in my life, so all I know is what I've seen on the YouTube channels I follow, which is "BMWs will ruin your finances/life". But I think all of those are older V8/V10 models, this 430i has a four banger. It's coming off a lease and has fewer than 50k miles on it. Am I setting myself up for disaster?

Joe Rogan moves to Spotify for over $100 million
He's said on many different episodes that he doesn't mind paying taxes and would even pay more if he got more from it. I think he wants to be closer to good hunting areas, in addition to the other reasons he talked about.

- Washington DC's NFL franchise to get a new name
I've been saying this for a while. There's no name out there they could use that will satisfy everyone and they've been getting heat for years to change it. They should just not have one, go with Washington FC or DCFC. Or call themselves the Federals. The other teams will shake with fear when the Feds raid their house/place of business.- Spa hot tub thread?
We just bought a hot tub from my sister-in-law's friend. It's only 3-4 years old, looks great. The previous owners said they never used chemicals because it has an ozonator. Great, I thought. Too bad it was bullshit. We had water problems after 3 days, had to buy all the chems. We got the PH perfect but still have issues with flakes in the water and foaming. We've been cleaning the filter, etc. Any tips and tricks? I already know about the "can't get pregnant" stuff.- Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
I feel guilty about this but having to deal with my ex-wife and her bi-polar bullshit had made me unsympathetic towards people who claim to be bi-polar. I know that everyone is different and I shouldn't paint with a broad brush but it's a reflex. Honestly, I think I get triggered, as silly as that sounds. I immediately turn cold when I hear or read about someone saying they have it or their mom had it. I just have zero patience or desire to talk to or hear about those people. It's not fair to them, I know. Also, it always seems to be women that have it, I rarely hear about guys with it. Maybe men don't bother to get diagnosed as much.- This is a man. He's over 40.

This is how I am as well, 46 and I care less about sports every day. I used to consume every pre and post game show, watched Sportscenter multiple times a day, watched every game I could get. Before everything got cancelled, I was only watching football and only my team. Now I just don't care, cancel it all for good and I won't be bothered.- Bay Area father shot and killed during Sierra trip with son, who spent 30 hours hiding in wilderness
