Do not leave anything left plugged in to the USB charger and go to bed or even out of the house ... many have and the resulting fire destroyed everything.

Feel it to see if it is hot while charging ... I know what I'm talking about

But billions of people do and most survive. Stuck up in Eureka for work and watching the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix on my laptop while sampling some Gnarly Head. I've been working my way through all the races since 1980 which has been a lot of fun.

Wow what an awesome race! World championship decided on the last lap of the last race. Hamilton's first championship by a hair and Massa wins his home race and just misses the world championship. Awesome!

Time for everyone to mis-spell something so we can find out how Steve is doing

Review: HIgh production values and a worthy effort. DAS BOOT and The Enemy Below need not worry. Computer convoy graphics, oversized conning tower emblems, and periscopes always in the raised position, even during crash dives and on the surface under heavy 5'' shell fire, are a few dubious bloopers. But hey, permissible Poetic license; and I've worked on a few movie and TV productions myself to know!... the USS Kidd now in Baton Rouge is the bridge/ship set for the combat scenes and excellent as anyone who's played Destroyer Command can appreciate... A Fletcher Class destroyer still in it's WWII configuration. Tom Hanks has mastered captain roles in his many on-screen performances-same here. A solid B+ performance. Will watch again anytime. Streaming to Apple TV may have curtailed a fair assessment as the movie was intended for the big screen. So when the theaters reopen after the Covid shutdowns; off to see it again. I had seen Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Hur on the big screen again, for the first time in years, this past year at my local Cinemax and the big-screen format really is a telling factor.... which Mr Hanks effort has been unfairly deprived of. < USS KIDD drydocked at Baton Rouge LA

^ i understand this, doing such things can be oddly satisfying, too.

Sometimes i find this forced slowdown positive, less hectic, have been able to finish things that had accumulated to a large heap that looked i would never overcome, but finally did.
However this whole corona thing is quite an ugly threat, depressing, and has huge economical consequences. Life has to go on and come back, but how can we possibly do that with what we know.

I know man. My wife and kids can even barely go out. They miss the outdoors, and I understand their frustration. Heck, for what it's worth, this virus did something that my former job couldn't, make me spend more time with them. Luckily, the kids share my enthusiasm when it comes to simulations. While I dig subsims, they prefer truck sims, just imagine that.
