06:55 < dasunt>  Day #3 of 4 for the new job.
07:07 < xray> dasunt: Congratulations on the new job.
07:07 <@Evilpig> just didn't want to get out of bed this morning was thinking about taking a pto day, but with the current climate saying "I don't feel well" would likely just set off alarms
07:07 < xray> Still telecommuting?
07:07 < dasunt> Telecommuting is interesting.  Kind of need a desk at home.
07:07 < xray> Evilpig: Tell them the truth. You are sick of them and need a break.
07:08 <@Evilpig> thinking about doing that on friday
07:09 < xray> I've been telecommuting full time for over two years now. Took a bit of work to get a setup I like but now it's great.
07:09 <@Evilpig> I have a fuckton of pto to use before July 1 too
07:09 < xray> We have to take comp time in the same month it was accrued. It doesn't carry over month to month.
07:10 < xray> I'm maxed out on my vacation accrual so I have to take my vacation every year or I lose it.
07:10 <@Evilpig> this isn't comp time
07:10 <@Evilpig> it's my combination sick/vacation pool
07:10 < xray> Vacation?
07:13 < xray> The best thing I did for telecommuting (other than commercial internet feed) is a 55 inch 4K monitor. It is the screen space of 4 x 27 inch 1080P displays. I was using the 15 inch laptop with an external 27 inch 1080P. This new setup is way way better. Even better than the multi monitor setup I had in my office.
07:22 < dasunt> Ooooh, spam email includes $10 to start investing in Stash.  Coul not see how this would be a bad idea.
08:20  * dasunt signs up for his 401(k) and is a little annoyed at the fees.

10:38 < dasunt>  Oh FFS.
10:39 <@Evilpig> dasunt: vpn down?
10:42 < dasunt> I think policy may have hit corona virus outage.
10:58 < dasunt> Security policy may have a dumb.

12:57 < K`Tetch_> xray - why not just buy a single 4k TV? we bought a 65" 4k TV for $268 last month
12:58 < K`Tetch_> bonus - you can slack off and watch tv when you'rebored
12:59 < K`Tetch_> my bad, its a 55"

13:07 <@Mirage> just wrong..
13:07 < K`Tetch_> undoubtedly, it's the daily mail after all, they're usually wrong
13:10 < K`Tetch_> (for those that don't know, in the 1930s the Mail was the biggest champion and de-facto mouthpiece for Oswald Mosely, and his British Union of Fascists, who were the UK Nazi party. They've become slightly more right-wing since then

13:20 < K`Tetch_> 1pm siren test scared the shit out of me too, i'm usually inside and can barely hear them. . this time i was outside, and there's 2 real close (courthouse, and the EMA/hospital)
13:28 <@Mirage> Ours are Sat at noon.  What I think is weird is that they play voice audio through them as well after sounding the sirens.
13:30 <@Mirage> Normally the weather radios go off on Wed's.   We have 2 and each are on different channels, so we normally get a test alert from one in the morning and the other that eve.
13:30 < K`Tetch_> actually ,the voice alert is a good idea. helps to specify what the threat is
13:31 < K`Tetch_> maybe in 2 weeks time I'll go record he test
13:31 < K`Tetch_> it was really something i had to get used to when i moved to the us
13:37 <@northrup> K`Tetch_ huh, here in Nashville they're just a siren on the first saturday of every month at noon.
13:37 <@northrup> this prompted me to create a calendar entry so I wasn't like "what the hell!?"
13:59 <@Corydon76> northrup: same schedule for Springfield, only they add 'weather permitting'.
13:59 <@Corydon76> If it looks like bad weather, they'll skip the test to avoid confusing people with whether an alert is a test or not.
14:24 <@Mirage> Here around DFW it's weekly unless there's bad weather that day, then they do it the next day.  If the next is also bad they skip til the next week.

15:34 <@Mirage> Wife was chastising me that looking at the news too much is unhealthy (referring to the COVID stuff).
15:35 <@Mirage> I pointed out to her that 90% of anything being reported right now is about the COVID stuff and that everyone is hooked because it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

15:54 < dasunt> So at this point, Trump is just setting himself up to claim 100k deaths as a victory, yes?

15:55 <@rhia> Knew back in Jan, was still lying about it as March broke, & now he's trying to sell the idea that having as many or more Americans die under his watch than we lost in WWI is ... a special kind of insane
15:56 <@Mirage> I mad comments about not trusting any of the information from China back in Jan
15:56 <@Mirage> ^s/mad/made
15:57 <@e--> ww1 the us had 116,708 deaths
15:59 <@rhia> & Trump is saying that if "we have between 100 and 200,000 (deaths) and we altogether have done a very good job."
16:00 <@rhia> since, apparently, we're merely numbers to be shifted on one column to another on the spreadsheet
16:02 <@e--> i read that this stimulus money is going to be taken out of our taxes
16:03 <@rhia> not according to the bill that got signed, but, they're already not following some of the stipulations so WTF knows.
16:04 <@e--> hm, yea it seemed misconstrued what i read
16:05 <@e--> yea apparently when trump signed it he added a note or something that he wasnt going to have any oversight
16:05 < dasunt> rhia: Well, how many of those 100k to 200k would worship Trump as a God?
16:05 <@Mirage> There's so much crap flying around that most of it needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  The only way to get a feel what's really going on is to watch/read as much news as possible
16:05 <@rhia> considering it hits old folks hardest? there's a large overlap with that group/fox'news'/trumpites
16:07 <@Mirage> If it wasn't for the fact that so much of congress falls into that category, I think they would have been more likely to have gone with the "let it run it's course" option and enjoyed watching the virus fix the Social Security issues
16:08 <@rhia> Trump wanted to reopen everything before some states even started social distancing, a move that a UK study indicated could easily kill over 2.2 million of us - so now Trump is crowing about "only" 1-200k of us dying is something to praise him for.
16:10 <@rhia> no tests in Jan & Feb, no masks & PPE still, months away from the ventilators we'll need in weeks --- but, yeehaw! Trump didn't kill as many of us as he could have! All Praise Dear Leader!
16:17 <@rhia> Mirage, very similar thoughts. We could raise the cap so rich folks paid more, oh, wait, they're rich folks ... oh, look, we can just let this virus kill'em instead! whew, almost had to lose a few more dollars a paycheck!
16:21 < dasunt> I thought I was getting some good info (obviously limited) on the local area from some nurses I know.
16:21 < dasunt> But then I discovered the test we were using apparently has false negatives.
16:37 <@northrup> e-- well... it depends... it _is_ a tax credit on your 2020 taxes, but insomuch as your income doesn't change between now and then it should be a credit that requires zero repayment.
