In my experience XDMCP/X11 forwarding works reasonably well, as long as your network is fairly quick and reliable.

Well, used to be. As I understand it newer laptops are more and more often using pouch style batteries to keep things thinner by using any available space.

Yeah, I agree it's technically not correct, but in the context of coronavirus specifically, much like COVID-19 is the disease and SARS-CoV-2 is the virus, but everyone calls it COVID, that's what people are referring to in my experience.

In other contexts New England is usually used correctly, though I have seen people include NY and/or the original 13 colonies as "New England"

That said I didn't know about the mid-atlantic administrative region, thanks for that info. It seems really weird to call NY, which borders Canada, mid-atlantic and have it stop at the south of NJ, especially when east north central goes further south. South atlantic looks about 2-3x bigger than mid and definitely goes way past the north-south halfway point of the east coast.

It still works in the latest macOS too. I end up accidentally hitting in on my work machine in slack all the time.

To add another data point, I got into hydroponics and indoor gardening since I was sitting at home all day, and I guess a lot of other people did too. Everything is sold out everywhere. Seeds, nutrients, even just potting soil is harder to come by. I tried to order some seed potatoes last week to try a hydroponic grow of them and almost every supplier is completely sold out. I found one seller that had 2/100 of their products in stock, but won't ship until mid-August.

Connecticut and Rhode Island are also part of New England. Really the tristate area is what people mean when they say New England or the North East in regards to covid. I definitely wouldn't classify NY or NJ as mid-atlantic though, it's really Maryland to the Carolines imo.

I've used both firefox (dev edition) and chrome pretty evenly for a long time (work stuff in chrome, personal in ff), and I haven't noticed any more reCaptchas in firefox than I get in chrome. If you just started using firefox, I could see the extra captchas being due to having "too clean" of a browser, or a different browser that was never used before tripping some sort of anti malware or suspicious login system.

All just speculation, but I haven't noticed the same issue.

> Road workers or bridge builders are not listed at all.

If you scroll past the 1:1 comparisons and hit expand all, there's a much bigger list of occupations, many of which would fall under the "people building infrastructure" umbrella.

Looking at those jobs it seems like it leans a bit right, but overall is fairly balanced.

>> Americans are so nervous about the state of the economy that they are stashing cash in the bank at a rate not seen since the first year of Ronald Reagan's presidency.

Could this just be that they're spending less since there's less opportunity to do so since everything's closed down? I know I personally "saved" a lot more in April, but it wasn't because I was fearful about the economy. I'm lucky that I can work from home and have been sitting at home for 2 months, not going out, not buying things other than essentials. I don't have to spend money on transportation (Metrocard, lyft, etc), I'm not spending money at bars, I can't go out for dinner, and since I'm home all day I've been cooking instead of ordering takeout. The only "expense" that's increased is throwing money into the market and playing with options, because what else is there to do.

So yeah my savings rate definitely went up, but this says nothing about being nervous about the state of the economy.

New York and New Jersey have gone past recommending masks, and have mandated them for anyone out in public, along with limiting the number of people allowed to go into a store, and a 6ft distance in any line/queue.
