Rate My Quarantine Setup (Tech, Apps, Amusement)

TV: 65” 4K something something with built in fire tv
Apps: YTTV, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Weather Underground, HBO Now, ESPN+ (yayyyyy)
Internet: ATT Fiber super fast gigawhatever
Laptop: MacBook Air 13.3”
Phone: IPhone 11 w/unlimited data

If we have to bunker down I will be adding WWE Network to my streaming options.
Before I can rate I need to know how much alcohol you have.

My company just went to voluntary WFH indefinitely. But my boss is bring donuts today so...

Take all that out of the equation I have plenty of alcohol and drugs. I just filled a Costco cart yesterday with Coors and Miller 36 packs.

Personally, I think I'm close to a breakthrough on designing a mobile self-quarantine. Instead of alcohol-infused hand wipes and face masks; why not alcohol-infused face masks? This would be very efficient and ecological; especially if the alcohol was a 12 year old single malt that was self-infusing!
Design is hung up on how to attach a couple of fifths above the mask. Wearing a football helmet solves a couple of the problems such as providing a stable base for the weight of full bottles and it protects the wearer's head when he passes out but it doesn't solve the main problem of breaking the bottles and losing your virus protection when you hit the floor.

Banquet Beer or Silver Bullets? While one sounds more appropriate for a bunker situation, the opposite is actually true in my opinion.
 
If you don’t go outside, how will you be able to tell us how much better the weather is in C-Bus than Des Moines?

Oh don’t you worry your hurt little butt about that. Our property is about a 1/2 acre and I’ve been training outside it’s been so nice lately.

Add some of the free streaming apps like Tubi and Pluto tv.

You are at 7-8 of 10. Need some low tech. Try a book, Dave Barry's "I'll Mature When I'm Dead", ISBN 978-0-399-15650-2.
 
Luckily I have kids. Because of them:
- 32'x32' basketball court with regulation goalsetter
- Xbox One S w/ Madden and NBA 2K
- Disney+
- Amazon fire TV
- Too bad they aren't a couple years younger or we'd be building some epic **** with Legos. Might get there anyway

Personally, I'm stocked with some classic apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic books:
- I am Legend
- Earth Abides
- The Road
- Station Eleven
- Alas Babylon
- On the Beach

I'm thinking that we should download as much as possible as servers may get overloaded and nobody will be able to go maintain them.

Also, I wonder if this new world of no sports will drive down the cost of that 65" tv I've had my eye on.

great tip on the downloading. Netflix and Disney+ both allow downloads.
 

Yep, made sure to work this into my garage rebuild. Not cheap but worth every penny. It was one thing that they wanted to play outside all the time when little. Now they are in middle school, it's been great. Lots of arguments and trash talk, but part of the deal.

And despite this I will still put all my time into Rimworld and EFT.

I've got two new games I've only barely played, another couple that are a month old that I've barely played, and just downloaded Call of Duty: Warfare and played just long enough to parachute in once and get shot in the face immediately (probably by some little kid).

And Borderlands 3 just arrived on Steam soooo....
