Watching the Ingenuity (Mars Helicopter) stream instead of studying... with a certain irony since what I'm studying is a prerequisite for the "Satellite Communication Exam" that I could (kinda want to) take in my masters ...

Am I the only one who knows politicians by name by not what they actually look like?

Just realized how much my orthography suffers from writing on the keyboard all the time. Wanted to write "dictionary" by hand and I wrote "dictunary", looked at it, realized it was wrong but couldn't write it correctly for the sake of it. I *had to* type it with a keyboard and look at the keys I pressed until I was sure how to write the word. (and I got it right the first time I typed it with my keyboard)
And I don't even use any kind of auto-correct. I just never write in English by hand...
Also, I become really inpatient when writing by hand, because it's so slow...

I have a similar issue with passwords all the time. I have what I call “finger macros”. My brain tells my fingers.. “type that password.. you know the one you’re always typing? I think it starts with a “b”. Yeah, that one. Just do it. I don’t need to know the details.” After a while I couldn’t tell you the password to save my life, but if I sit down at a keyboard I never have any trouble logging in.

When I look outside rn, I get the impression that the gates of hell have been opened, that's how awful it looks. Might even get a flooding this time in our town, which hasn't happened so far. Also the power might die any second now, sheesh.

2 more episode and I'll crack the 8000 watched episodes of anime. Hmm, maybe a movie as the 8000th episode?... Too many classics to choose from...

Damn, we just went through the Ariana 5 rocket crash of 1996 in my college class since we're learning about fault tolerance, handling etc.
Never want to be the guy who causes a 5 Billion $ crash because of a simple memory overflow.
(Well, I once broke a not so cheap robot in the robotic club during high school, because I thought the sensor data gives me distance values in meters, instead of cm..... Fell right of the edge of the table)

Oof, they allowed some shops to open from today onwards, intending to gradually lift the quarantine and now people are storming DIY markets and building centres.
At least we got this gem. (Turn on the music :D)

We might just open the first non-essential businesses after Easter vacation, so in one week, considering that the infection curve is flattening plus we didn't see a spike in new infections or deaths.
However, these businesses, probably all kinds of shops and hairdressers and such, will have strict hygiene regulations, like people having to wear face masks, staff regularly washing/disinfecting hands, just x amount of people at once in the building, etc...
But everyone who can work from home should work from home, school/uni are still done via the internet (with the exception of the last years, the ones who will graduate.)
We'll see how that goes...

So, in our country we either have to do a 6 month military service or 9 month civil service (either in a nursery home, hospital or as a paramedic) and the ministry has hinted that they might 'draft' people who did the civil service up to 5 years ago again for min. 3 moths of not enough people volunteer. Since I did the civil service as a paramedic 3 years ago I fit into this category.
Now I got a letter from the government urging me to volunteer since 'you country need you!'
However, they mainly need people who worked at nursery homes and hospitals to relief actual nurses and caretakers so I'm safe for now.
Edit: Masks are no mandatory when you go to the supermarket where they'll also be distributed. Apparently the government stored a huge number of them. End April and beginning may, certain stores and services are allowed to open again if they follow certain hygiene restrictions and rules. Bit optimistic, especially since the number of dead has no exceeded 100 (but also seen no growth in death rate), but we'll see.
