My point is that of late, Taiwan's government executed lockdown procedures to great success. Vietnam has done similarly.

Didn't SARS just suddenly stop before it got very far?

*raises eyebrows due to familial knowledge of SARS*

It was uncomfortably real in 2011, it's downright scary in relation to the current pandemic.

It is, almost to an uncomfortable point.The virus portrayed in that film was FAR more aggressive and fatal than Coronavirus, but the sourcing and spread and impact hit REALLY close to home compared to what we're dealing with now

Actually on the subject, I've hard a lot of people refer to a 2011 film called Contagion that they think is relevant.

Ah well, I'll stick to the classic British sitcoms: One Foot in the Grave, Til Death Do Us Part and They Think It's All Over.

There's always the original, cheesy as it is

Dunno... Tonight one of the major networks showed a movie with plagues.. including that listening to their leader causes the first born to die. ;P So nah.. I think the Stand could work.

That's probably the last thing anyone needs to see, at the moment. Maybe when we get to the end of June/beginning of July and we can venture back out, it might be possible to find some enjoyment in The Stand.

I suppose the CBS adaptation of Stephen Kings The Stand will be delayed.

We'll always be together. Together in electric dreams.

Please remember that in these times of social distancing, we'll always be together however far it seems.

It arrived! Yay!

Given how the virus lasts about 3-4 days on metals and plastics, it's about the only way to go about getting stuff right now. I ordered a monitor mount for my desk and the delivery has been pushed back twice already.

He ordered it online, says it was to keep those delivery boys in business. I did the same a week ago with some Transformers Studio Series figures off Kapow. Don't know if it's wise or not considering.

You'd be the first. Everyone else has either been frustrated cause the one they wanted was sold out (like during boxing week.) or rushing to replace something broken.

I actually walked into a store the other day and just randomly decided to buy at 32inch TV. It was just a Vizio, and grabbed a Mounting Bracket for it. No duress. Just a spur of the moment wanted a TV for my master bedroom.

Conversely: I've never met a person who wasn't buying a TV under duress... so... yeah.

I think I've met maybe two people other than myself who count cables before buying a TV.

Seriously.. HDMI splitters and switches are so bloody finicky, but most tvs don't have enough inputs.

Just spent a hour trying to get my brothers new Samsung TV to read his Playstation and Blu Ray player only to find he was using a HDMI splitter.

I could never master oral bullshittery. But in my day I was quite adept with the written word.

You have mastered the art of Bulljive. You must use this power only for good, or entertainment.

This morning, for one of my online classes, I had to give a positive oral presentation about a play that I hated having to watch. I went into it completely unprepared and just winged it. My professor LOVED my presentation and thought it was excellent. She believed every word I said and honestly thought that I enjoyed that miserable play. Best April Fools ever!

Happy Everyone Thinks They're A Comedian Now Day!

Who, I might add, has never been photographed together with Byteman. Just sayin'.

Bruce Wayne's cyberpunk cousin?

Laser Wayne

Luther Unum

Or Lee Derwon.

Not to be confused with Leader I

He was Leader Uno

He was the OTHER Leader 1

Or Sideways.

On the other hand, this is Armada we're talking about. It could have actually been Metroplex.

Oh yeah, that was Fort Max. My bad.

Christmas Maximus?

At least the ozone layer is healing. unless this is a 0.0000000001% thing it's sounds like good news.

(But only pretty sure, not 100% sure.)

Pretty sure y'all were thinking of Fortress Maximus yesterday.

Dare! Dare to believe you can survive 2020!

Baja Blast is back at retail!

Shame he wasn't around more. He seemed like such a jolly, happy soul.

No, he was definitely Metroplex. You could tell because he was in Metroplex's distinctive red and green coloration.

that was Leader-1. or possibly Jolt. maybe Grindor...

Metroplex was in Armada, in a flashback. He was the same size as everybody else. I thought that was the joke.

@Rodimus Supreme: Gah! You are right! How'd I get that mixed up? x.x;

There is no Metroplex. Only Zuul.
