Go to bed, old man. Cable is so mid-2000’s.
Sure, I do, too, but most of Gen-X could do this too, even during much of their youth, and you’d still even have to set the recording such that you’d catch the end of the previous show.

And for the third day in a row, the Czech Republic breaks its own record for new cases in a day.
Politicians are now meeting via video conferencing while crowded schools are still having classes. Isn’t that special?
We know you live in 1997 dude.

The good old days of VCR taping. AB switches.
Some of our good friends, our closest quarantine friends, have completely given up. One of them just recovered from brain cancer and is in remission. The other has a handful of autoimmune problems she gets monthly infusions and other treatments for.
They have been dining indoors for weeks now and now one of them is substitute teaching. What the fuck? Part of me is horrified and scared for them and part of me is just wondering what the fuck is happening. They are both people who would seemingly fit in around here.
They were both on UE and all I can think is the money is running out so it is time to die for the Dow Joans. It’s incredibly sad and scary.

Wait what is the cutoff we are using for millennials here? I recently turned 40 and need to know.
Cut-off I most often see is 1981 or 1982.

Maybe you should see about having them post here. We can be very persuasive
notoriously bad IHME model now predicting >400,000 U.S. deaths by end of year, with nearly 3,000 deaths per day in December
cool cool cool
also, suck it, lil sis!
I have a hard time going up that high, especially with the TRUMP^tm vaccine coming out at election time. Show your Trump vote, get a shot.
Seriously I’m not sure why the growth rate would be high enough to get to 3,000 deaths per day nationwide. That assumes people make no adjustment when it starts upward again.
We have places that have already learned their lesson (northeast, cities) and places that have not like the rural Midwest. I think once your locale gets overrrun you will respond much quicker on a second rise.
I wonder if they are modeling a seasonal component or possibly an interaction with the flu.
It’s probably some math function. Seriously. Their original models were literally curve fits*.
*me too, but my models are based on exponential growth equation, however I use past data to inform the coefficient to forecast forward. At the max rate we’ve seen in summer of 3%/day it takes 40 days to triple. I’d expect government and/or local fear to mitigate before 40 days.
Lol governor of Florida already talking about going into phase 3 and reopening bars… again. We’re going to do the same shit as before.
Also reopening nursing homes for visitation.
You are GenX born in 80
I was born 81 and consider myself GenX as cutoff is 81 or 82
Edit: according to that wiki we are Xennials
