Mr. Clue, I hear that Duvall County is going to be the new site for the RNC instead of Charlotte. Guess DeSantis couldn't host it at Mar-a-Lago as it would look TOO slanted!?

It has to go somewhere though. Jobs are better than no jobs. Surprised it went to Jax rather than Orlando though

More like a headbutt. Savage.

Even I can appreciate this

They say if you don’t have anything nice to say then it’s best to not say anything at all. I have nothing to say about Jax. Worst 5 years of my life were in the 904.

Lots up updates on devices today.
Xr is being updated to iOS 13.5.1
OP7T got the May security patch
Oppo Reno 2 got Color OS 6.1 and April security patch, hopefully it should get the Color OS 7 update soon.
And last but not least the Nuu G3 got the March security patch even though it's running Android 8.

Orlando already has a Mickey Mouse.

The New York Times: White America Wants Me to Conform. I Won’t Do It..

I appreciated this perspective from a guy in academia. Thank you for sharing this. Sad to say, I didn't even know that New Haven had a noticeable black population because I only associate that town with Yale in my mind.

How is it?

It's nice but I still prefer the S20 or the 3a.

So last night I was playing around with manual mode on the camera. Took a few pics of my usual subject.

None of these have been edited, other than cropped. One is auto.

Yes I was after darker to highlight the sky. They're all slightly different.

A PhD level course on how NOT to answer a question...

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/16/politics/mike-pence-systemic-racism-fox-and-friends/index.html

I'm failing to see those good cops arresting bad cops these days. Wonder why is that.

And this piece of of a human being turned this answer into politics again. How unexpected.

Bayern won their 8th consecutive Bundesliga title last night. Can't wait for the home ground game to watch the celebrations.

Passed my third course the other day with a 10 (that's an A in US?, it's 95%), have just one more exam in that course and it's done.

2 more subjects and I'm off to the final year. So far, so good.

2nd wave of corona is in full swing, sadly. Now we have more infected than we had before, I believe.

They'll probably reintroduce the measures sometimes next week. I'm being more and more reluctant to be around larger groups of people again.

They're basically ignoring things here. We had more infections than Beijing this week and we're still opening up.

Though where they had the infections in Beijing pop up is cause for concern. Not sure where the numbers are in France currently.

Big push to be normal here and in the EU.

Money and economy are more important than lives of course. That and the natives were getting restless...

Next push is to get the international tourist back. You think things are spiking now. Just wait.

Congrats!

95% = A

They also use GPA in the USA in universities which is a system I never quite understood. Well I never looked into it either as I never needed it.

Well, the response our government made back in the 1st wave wasn't all that perfect, but it was hands down one of the best in Europe. Which surprised me, given how incompetent they are. It appears that they're about to do the same thing now.

There's pressure to keep many businesses open, but I don't think they'll allow it.

Our university is closed for students again and professors can access it only in a case of a need. Provided that they have gloves and mask on and their temperature is regularly checked.

Thing is, they won't shut down again here unless it gets really bad.

There's zero desire to do it again.

The President was pushed by business to get things to normal and the a lot of citizens all want normal as well.

Basically everything is open again here. You can even eat in cafes. Museums, etc. Only thing not going is large events but it looks like some are still on the cards for summer.

There's even people ignoring social distancing and other hygiene rules already. Greeting each other with kisses or handshakes.

Like I said, normal.

To many people still think this was a water of time and fear mongering.

I'm sure a spike is coming but it won't be bad enough. Then the tourists will come...

Such is life.

I've quietly resigned myself to the fact there are going to be these surges between now and the presence of a long term therapy. I'm just trying to protect myself in the interim.
