My wife went ballistic on some of her friends in the neighborhood who are teachers because she was talking about how frustrated we were that our kids' teachers weren't doing jack shit the last 2 months, and their response was that they couldn't do their job because they have their own kids at home too. Those dumb bitches weren't doing my wife's job, why the hell should she be doing theirs? We are very glad its the summer and school is over.

I'm not, but I'm aware of how it works.

I read this interesting article about "disposable people" a while back and it opened my eyes to my ignorance and privilege. https://thebaffler.com/latest/disposable-people-algharbi Every time my wife orders something on Amazon or food delivery the last couple months I give her shit about being part of the managerial class relying on disposable people.

Thank you Facebook and 24 hour cable news!

What the hell is the hideout?

Can't even get mad at the cute little guy!

He knows better!

Plus lots more cigarette smokers in Italy and Spain than in the US.

If you think you’re eligible but the bank fucked up I have a connection or 2 at the bank I used to work at that can help you if you are interested.

Definitely that too. My inlaws in AZ are yukking it up with friends at restaurants and going to parties like crazy. I'm concerned because they are old and not models of good health. Can't tell them shit though, they wanna do their thing.

It's probably the age demographics, right? Isn't that why AZ is doing so bad also?

And are the same people that said that the people protesting lockdown shouldn't protest. I think both groups should have the right to protest. But I'm pretty sure its bad for the spread of an infectious disease!

Looks like the WHO is taking it back? https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/09/who-scrambles-to-clarify-comments-on-asymptomatic-coronavirus-spread-much-is-still-unknown.html

Thats an interesting question. Perhaps a vaccine or no new cases for a couple weeks or something like that.

If you are on the side of the house with the generator and transfer switch in the basement you can hear a pretty loud "click" when it comes on and when it goes off. But yes, the sound is usually how I verify if the power is back on. Sometimes the lights dim a little bit right when the power is switching over also. My generator is fairly loud. Probably like an air conditioner x5. Nowhere near as loud as most of the portable ones I've seen though.

It does indeed. I was concerned about using the AC while the generator was running, but when I did some research I found that a 20kw generator can handle multiple AC units so I let it crank.

I don’t like to mess with the settings on the generator and transfer switch. I’m likely to spend more on a service call than on the gas used if I mess with switching it off manually. power just came back on yippee

NG. I forget how bad the gas bill was last time we used it for a couple days, but I’m sure it wasn’t cheap.

My neighborhood's ETA for restoration is June 6th at 11PM per PECO. Thank goodness for the generator!

HTFU snowflakes!

I agree with you, those are the only parts of school that don't suck! I also think it's dumb that they didn't postpone school, consider the quarantine to be their summer break and have them go back in and finish over the summer. God forbid the teachers don't get to go to the Jersey shore all summer!

The most resilient people in the world are kids. I get it that high school seniors got the shaft, but this is a minor inconvenience for most. My daughter had a drive-through 5th grade graduation today, and everyone could not have been happier. Life is what you make it!

Someone I follow on Twitter posted a link to it.
