I want to make sure we are all on the same page here. Even if you hate graphs and math, please look at this for a moment. The orange line is the number of US COVID-19 cases. Blue is the number of new cases per day. Please keep reading. PLEASE. [1/3]
The date runs along the bottom. On the left, the SCALE increases by factors of 10. See how it takes about a week for the number of reported infections to grow by factors of 10? This is the exponential growth. In two weeks, this shows that the US will have MILLIONS of cases.[2/3]
THIS is why China shut their country down, as did Italy, etc. Because people have a hard time comprehending this behavior. Everything seems normal then everyone is sick. So governments have to step in. THIS APPLIES TO YOU- YOU ARE NOT AN EXCEPTION. Stay home. [end]
The data are here: coronavirus.1point3acres.com

Ancient Egyptian Baking Update! For those who don’t know, as a hobby that’s now ridiculous, I started trying to learn to make ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom (~5000yo) bread.
For everyone who is thinking, “what the hell is that,” see the thread below from this summer. Even so you may be thinking “what the hell is that.”
The Old Kingdom Egyptians (the badass ones who figured out how to build, and then built, the pyramids) didn’t bake bread in ovens; they used special pots called ‘BDJ3’ or “bedjah” that were conical and were placed directly on a fire. There are two of these on the left here.

I was thinking about my dad today, and the old game I shipped before it was done, Trespasser. Please ignore if this is too weird or irritating.
I had been a part of, and designed and produced, some really successful games, and combined with the popularity of JP, the hype around Trespasser was huge. So, when DW put the gun to my head and forced a premature release, it was devastating.
I had made all the mistakes that young, arrogant idiots make, and had ended up pushing to ship a game that we all knew wasn’t done. I feared that I had damaged whole future genres with my stupidity and by folding to the pressure to ship. All the reviews were like this:

Hello followers: let’s have a serious convo about #Covid-19 and the state of what will be our main go-to for addressing this virus, cold and flu medications.
A large percentage of these medications rely on 1 active ingredient, Ibuprofen #Thread

left the FDA to lobby for Big Pharma, we reached out to him after a whistle blower came to us. This is what we said.
Our whistleblower has informed us that the glassware situation is effectively addressed but nothing else.

personal trainer! jungkook who’s fit as hell and despite the baby face, can lift you up easy without a sweat. in comes new client jin who’s just trying to be a bit more healthy, finds that going to the gym alone or at home doesn’t work for him so = jungkook.
it’s simple really.
expect when it’s not.
not when his new client has the boardest shoulders jungkook has ever seen, not when this ridiculously gorgeous man walks in- gaze intense but as soon as his plump mouth opens all you hear is soft sweet shy hellos and god, jungkook just- short circuits.

Taejin idol au | ballad singer Seokjin is jaded after being forced to stay in the box with his genre; lead guitarist Taehyung of rock band Lost My Way feels like their album is missing that certain sound. Their worlds collide to remedy these problems.
Taehyung is frustrated. He--lead guitarist and singer--along with his bandmates--Jimin, on bass and Jungkook on drums--have been recording all day, but with little success. Something is just off, or missing.
As he listens back to one of their recordings, it hits him: he's sick of his own voice.

Not in an insecure, self deprecating, way, he knew he was a good singer, but...there was just too much of him. Creatively, he felt like they could expand these tracks if they had more vocals.
