My wife and I are watching Outbreak. What is wrong with us?

Contagion is trending as well.

[G-Man]

Outbreak and Contagion may be what people are thinking, but my house feels more like Bio-Dome right now.

We've been playing Pandemic Legacy

My wife got me good tonight. I got home from doing my taxes at my parents’ house (they buy H&R Block software each year and everyone uses it to file) and I walk in to hear the bathtub running. Chloe was with me and Lilah should have been in bed already. I yelled up to her to find out what was going on. She yelled down that Lilah threw up in her bed. I’m the one in the house that cleans up vomit because I’ve grown immune to the smell for the most part. I darted up the stairs to help out only to find Lilah sitting up in bed with a big smile on her face. My wife pops in and they both shout, “April Fools!”

Well done, my dear. Well done.

[Epignosis]

See.

I would've poured red food coloring all over my face and yelled DADDY GOT SHOT.

But I'm a decent human being and would not do that to my children.

Hello mafiathesyndicate. After learning of the passing of an old friend from irc, I have spent a lot of the morning reminiscing about the good times I had with you all playing mafia, discussing Lost, and just the general chatting/friendship. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I miss you guys. Just thought I’d stop by to say I hope you are all keeping well and safe in this scary time.

I still remember a particular game where you were Mafia and I was Civ, and we went at it in the thread fiercely! Good times. Come and play sometime, hey, during these Quarantine days, what better time to come and sign up for Epi's Coronavirus Mafia?

Was the IRC friend known to Lostpedia/Mafia?

Oh I remember that game, although I can remember the theme. I used to like to try and create more of a challenge by going after whoever I thought was the best player that game. It wasn’t the best strategy to win, but it made the game more interesting to me.

And yes She went by the name leggyorlyb.

[G-Man]

And yes She went by the name leggyorlyb.

Oh my! I remember leggy. She made her way over here to the Syndicate briefly, though I don't know if she ever played any games here. That is awful and sad. It's the first I've encountered someone passing away who had been a part of one of the mafia communities I've participated in. Was it sudden or had she been battling an illness?

[DisgruntledPorcupine]

Me and her would still chat occasionally. Always been a great friend to me since the IRC days. This is deeply saddening

[Long Con]

This is the first time I've seen this happen. Maybe we should have a thread for departed Mafia community members.

I'm not into QAnon conspiracy stuff, but what is this:



May 17 tweet from The Obama Foundation that includes a George Floyd protest sign... but Floyd was killed on May 25.

Someone sent it to me, and I told them Photoshop exists, and went to see for myself and took this screenshot.

[nutella]

I assume it's just a thumbnail from the link that can change what shows in the tweet thumbnail retroactively based on what is currently on the front page of the site.

So, how about that Trump Coronavirus?

Happy early Thanksgiving to all Syndicateers — hope you are all healthy and whole.

So, I finally got a job, after 3 years looking (in the meantime I did an internship for 6 months, but it wasn't an employment in the strict legal sense). As a logistics analyst in a big company. It's located in one of the cities that make the São Paulo metropolis, though for now the job will be as home office, which means I'm probably only moving there after the pandemic ends.

I'm saying it here since I always tell everyone when things aren't going well, so imma tell when they are going well too! 2020 wasn't that bad, in the end.

[dunya]

Congrats DDL!!!! Sooo happy for you ❤❤❤❤

Gainful employment attainment after that long of a stretch truly boosts the morale. I should know. Good luck to you.

I’ve been working in the business office for a school district for a little over a year now. A few months ago, the thought popped into my mind to see if I could find out how much a fetal pig costs for biology class dissection. I had forgotten about that quest for a while, but this week I stumbled upon my answer. One of the high school secretaries placed an order for fetal pigs for the science department. It’s $25.50 per fetal pig kit (the piglet and some tools), but there’s a $1-per-pig discount if you buy 10 or more.

[Epignosis]

Try $125 per plexiglass desk barrier.

My computer (an almost 10 year old Dell desktop running Windows 7) has been notifying me of a hard drive failure for a few weeks now.

I am confused, because I always assumed hard drive failure would mean the computer just doesn't work. I doubt it's spyware or malware, because the notification comes up in the usual Dell SupportAssist window that I am used to seeing.

Should I ignore this or take it as a sign that it's time for a new computer?

Back-up all your files, then run a chkdsk and see what it says.

Oh cool @tutuu, thank you so much. @Marmot is there any way we can switch this one out in our emoji's? I would do it but I don't know how.

Every year (twice a year) I spend far too much time reading about the history of daylight savings time. Every year (twice a year) I spend the better part of a full day wondering why we keep doing this stupid, antiquated nonsense.

I like it because ours is a couple weeks after yours, so for those few weeks the time difference between me and my family and friends is only 4 hours instead of the usual 5.
