    Who are you and why did you make a new account

    Long time lurker on my old account. Email got infected with coronavirus so I made a new one with Daddario’s tits.

    damn ztejas, what are you the surly contingency plan?  people make new accounts for various non-CV related reasons:

    1.)  not to get doxxed

    2.)  because there are a bunch (or maybe just one) trigger happy ban-admin that make hornsfans look like a free world.  it's a tragic irony, where shag/surly started out as an outcast of HF fans to gather (thank you sincerely, BL), and is now not so different.  perhaps this is due to more extremists views since then.

    I can relate to this because we have always struggled with this in the cybersecurity industry, everything is considered an act of paranoia by outsiders and the measure of a good security program is one where major breaches are avoided. So if you are doing a good job and everything is quiet people question your budget. "Nothing bad happens, why are we spending so much money on security?" On the other side, organizations that get completely owned always throw money at the problem after the horses already left the barn but they are so fucked, it will take over a year and a shit ton of money to clean the place up.

     

    I agree with the first part of your statement; it's very akin to the OLinemen who only gets noticed when they make a mistake.   We fail to recognize the many benefits outside of that one catastrophic mistake, even if they have played a superb game overall.

    but I'm having trouble understanding the second part;  "the other side".  In a ideal (yes, this is non-existent) world, security frameworks evolve to learn from the past and "the horses have already left the barn" can serve to learn from past mistakes to continuously improve your security program.  it's a continuous battle between good and evil.  It's hard for me to discern whether your second point refers to implementing more security tools and controls (which has both advantages and disadvantages)  or if it's addressing the payout of ransomware attacks.  Both are completely different subjects, but intertwined.

    This thread is getting hard to follow. Should we just have a COVID-19 subforum where people can create multiple threads for individual topics? I know there’s already a handful of threads across the existing boards.

    i think this new board has a feature to view threads in a tree like structure.  might help with threads like this.  haven't checked it out.  any recs on easier or more complex to navigate.?

    edit - not finding that feature anymore, possibly disabled.

    If the Fortnite creators could pump out some more major updates soon, that could help with social distancing here in America.  

     

    while true, that market has diminished returns and does not welcome noobs (unless they have addressed skilled based matchmaking). on a similar topic, I found this pretty cool:

    London (CNN Business)A popular video game has become home to a virtual library where players can lay eyes on censored news articles from around the world.

    In a virtual library found in Minecraft -— a game where users can build virtual worlds out of blocks and create their own storylines — users can access the work of journalists who have been killed, jailed or exiled by governments, including articles by Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
    The project, launched by Reporters Without Borders, design collective Blockworks, advertising agency DDB Germany and production company MediaMonks, gives users access to articles banned in five countries that rank poorly on the nongovernmental organization's World Press Freedom Index: Egypt, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam"

    Maybe the new WikiLeaks

    Shared suffering and bonds... or something.




    Nothing you said about CR is even wrong but it's still better than the offseason on the football board or f5ing recruits' twitters.

     

     

    don't you ever, and i mean ever, post recruiting news on the football board.  that's blasphemy.  it's right up there with posting CR content here, but instead of getting banned, you get shamed.

  6. trying to sound smart here and throw out the term litmus test (NO CR).  we have a lack of litmus.

     

    If you say that something is a litmus test of something, you mean that it is an effective and definite way of proving it or measuring it.
    Ending the fighting must be the absolute priority, the litmus test of the agreement's validity.

    I wonder how quickly companies that make ventilators can scale up.  Seems like an opportunity to do something great for humanity and make a little $ at the same time.

    how many of them are manufactured in the States vs (Southeast) Asia?

    not sure what type of ventilators you are referring to but 3M has manufacturing plants in the US.  something tells me they still source from China.  this is pure speculation based on their stock value.

    i know someone who provides equipment for disaster recovery (not necessarily ventilators but think of equipment needed for Hurricane disasters).  they source from China.

    I just got a DM from my most recent ex asking about treating a fever. I will tell her don't,  since that is how the body fights off a virus.

    RayDog is smart as fuck, but wondering if any doctors can weigh in on this? @ChiTownDoc

    Edit - the original quote was from RayDog, not staboner.  this site and it's ability to quote is something special

    Been stocking up on chicken, pasta, rice, dried beans and tuna along with granola bars and oat meal. The Krogers in the plano/garland/wylie area haven't been bad, beans were running low but that's about it. Costco on 75 in Plano had plenty of TP and short lines. The hysteria in this area hasn't hit yet I guess. I haven't bought any bottled water at all, am I a bad prepper?

    went to the local grocer that i figured would be empty, nope.  it's kinda like a Michoacana. saw some guy walking out with what looked to be 10 ham hocks.  FUD definitely creeping in here.

    Brian Windhorst had a FAQ last night after the suspension 

     

    Tests are hard to get in some places; how are the players being tested so fast?
    Over the past week, the league office advised teams to work with health providers to make testing available to its players and visiting teams. Last weekend, the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry was tested for COVID-19 after he came down with flu-like symptoms in San Francisco and the test came back negative.
