Anonymous Zebra posted:UCR just sent an email saying the whole campus is closed as of Monday, with anyone caught on campus being subject to criminal prosecution. This isn't just academics but also research people as well. No word about what all the undergrads and foreign residents living in dorms are supposed to do in less than 2 days or what happens to the 100s of millions of dollars of research organisms. GG UC. Seems kind of silly. They could keep the labs open; it's small groups of people working in a fairly clean environment. Canceling classes is enough to stop large groups of people congregating.

And I thought I was a heathen because my absolute favorite burrito is simply carne asada, guac, and cheese. No pico, no refried beans, no rice, just meat, avacado, and dairy, as those are the most delicious ingredients. I will happily consume a salad alongside my burrito to get the vegetables.

Wicked Them Beats posted:Trump has nowhere near the death toll of GWB so proclaiming Bush some sort of arbiter of the halcyon days of decorum is not excusable because Trump is rude. Anyone who thinks GWB is "better" than Trump is someone who has a purely aesthetic view of politics. I think a lot of GWB's stuff was better hidden and wrapped in a veneer of legitimacy, however thin it was. It's hard to rank the two due to how both are awful to different degrees in different ways, but they're both so far south of neutral that it hardly matters. I would personally rank GWB as being "better" at decorum than Trump is, even if it's comparing something like a D- to an F.

Sydin posted:I finally got fed up with how unruly my hair was last week and just used an electric razor to shave my head. Took five minutes and a helpful double check from my roommate that I didn't miss any spots on the back of my head. Not trumpeting it as a perfect alternative to a stylish cut or anything but it definitely improved my overall mood to not constantly be fiddling with overgrown hair. Yeah, I'm tempted to do this as well. It's not like I'm going to be seeing anyone for any reason anyway.

droll posted:Do you think shutting down with no clear reopen date is the same as shutting down for 1 public holiday which has been known for decades in advance? On the other hand, we shut courts down for natural disasters and the like. If there's a fire or an earthquake, nobody would expect the court to be in session. If there are riots and protests, it's not exactly out of the question for courts to shut down temporarily as well; few people would want to go to jury duty and then get out of court in the middle of a riot.

Class Warcraft posted:My district had year-round teaching before I joined. From what I gather students and teachers were divided into four cohorts, one of which was on break during any given three-month stretch. The teachers loved it because it reduced class sizes, but it got the ax for budget reasons. I had this in elementary school, and it was fantastic. Getting vacations throughout the year was great, though you could argue that it made making friends between the cohorts was impacted, since you wouldn't be on the same schedule. At the same time, you'd typically be closest to people in your class, so it wasn't a big deal.

mllaneza posted:I work for a biotech. If anyone wants some anecdotal evidence: we shut down hard, from 14,000 to just enough people on campus to maintain production lines, QC, and labs in phase II trials (about 600-650 people). Everyone else including contractors are WFH and getting paid even if they can't do real work from home. That's a substantial sum of money on idle payroll, and multinational megacorps don't do that unless the poo poo is actually hitting the fan.It's worth it to keep the workforce together for when normal happens again, but it's huge piles of cash. I'm in a similar situation. We are cautiously opening up (~50% of workforce stays home on any day, adjacent cubicles empty, etc.), with temperature screenings, constant cleaning of surfaces, etc. Employees are encouraged to wfh if able (I work in a lab, so I need to go in ~50% of the time to do my job.

Are there any good rail lines for people in OC to visit LA? I generally regard anywhere north of OC to be completely off limits for driving just due to the hideous amount of traffic in the LA area (I also primarily know people in OC and SD, so I have no real reason to go to LA in the first place). I love the coaster that goes from north county SD down to SD city; I take it virtually every time I go to Comic-Con to avoid parking and traffic, and whenever I decide to visit SD city to meet up with friends or family. Something like that would be nice for visiting LA once we're no longer in a pandemic.

Infinite Karma posted:How about we just remove Prop 13 from everything except for owner-occupied primary residences? No second homes, no rental homes, no transfers at the current tax rate (if you move your primary residence, you get Prop 13 protection at the rate you bought the new house for), no commercial properties. And only that as a concession to grandma who would actually be homeless if you made her sell her now-unaffordable house (and knowing that her pension/social security isn't enough to afford a rental). For me, my concern is that if I and my neighbor both own homes with the same value, then we should be paying the same property tax. I don't give a poo poo about when they bought their property vs. when I bought my property. If we have what is effectively the same house, then we should be paying the same taxes on that house.

Being able to safely go out and get a meal at a restaurant would be a very refreshing thing, and a fairly large shift back towards normal for a lot of people.

It seems like a really invasive and prominent machine to me! I don't even like wearing a mouthguard! I got one at the end of last year. Turns out that most of my depression/anxiety stemmed from being constantly fatigued for years, and feeling like I could never recharge. Now I get actual restful sleep and feel good instead of tired when I wake up. It's life-changing and a huge deal for people who need it. If you snore and you can get a sleep study, get a sleep study and see if you need one, because holy poo poo it makes a huge difference in terms of quality of life.

It seems like it should be such a simple slam dunk to actually fund schools at a high level, since it will pay massive, massive dividends a dozen years or so down the line. Granted, the dozen years down the line part doesn't get you reelected, so there's that.

You might be able to carpool, you might reduce the number of trips you make, but in the end you still have to buy gasoline to get from point A to point B, and some level of travel is unavoidable for a number of people.

It's also funny to me because going from north county san diego down to the city via the coaster is really pleasant, and I always see people taking the trains when I am (which, to be fair, is relatively rare). I far, far prefer taking the coaster down to san diego in lieu of parking because gently caress parking in the city. Give me more options for rail and I am all for using them. Hell, I'd love to visit more of LA, but driving there is a nightmare, so I just avoid it as a rule.

It’s just garbage when you’re getting told to do everything else in it. I like this a lot. My handwriting has suffered over the years because I had to sacrifice precision for speed. Nowadays I basically scrawl out chicken scratch printed letters that are vaguely readable (granted, 99% or more of my writing is done electronically these days as well - even my signatures are electronic most of the time). But recontextualizing the script as something that can be beautiful lets you take the time to properly form the letters and make something neat.
