I'm asking for trouble now, but that's just the same: great visuals, but a story that's only of interest to kids, sorry!

I think it was doomed when they picked the title. Like Brokeback Mountain. Ewwww.

We're about 1/3rd of the way through a "circuit breaker" lockdown in Wales (not in England) to coincide with the schools half term break - it's not so bad so far. Some idiots complaining they can't buy clothes or a new phone in person, or go out and get drunk but ...
At least with a "time limited lockdown" you know when it'll be over - much less emotional stress than "we'll see when we see the figures".
I'm just hoping they have a plan for the end, and the idiots don't just congregate again.

We will be lockdown starting tomorrow for one month, but they already said that the length will be reevaluated twice in a month.
I suppose that we won't be released for Christmas, since only one month lockdown has only limited impact.

Given how both candidates behave, I am sure Kanye West stands a chance

What did Kayne West ever do to you, that you'd wish that upon him?

I've run out of space to store stuff, so I am going through stuff that I had decided to keep since the last time I had run out of space, and decided to keep stuff, etc.
Specifically, I have:
-> DSL modems:
Motorola 2210-02-1066
Motorola NGV510
These seem to be for AT&T DSL (maybe "U-Verse"), back when I had to prostrate myself upon this bloodsucking company for internet service (thank you, Sprint & pcsforpeople.net!) They seem to go for $25 or so, down to $7 (LOL) at eBay which tells me that they are basically only used by folks who have existing AT&T DSL service. AIUI, AT&T now forces folks to rent a modem, so I have a feeling these are worthless. I might keep the 2210-02-1066 around because it's small, LOL.
-> Netgear RangeMax WPN824 wireless router
-> USB wireless modems
D-Link DWA-140 wireless modem (USB)
Belkin Z528
Logitech
These are small, so I guess I'll keep them around. I think most of them are fried, LOL.
-> mouse, circa 2008 or so, trackball PS-2 port, LOL
-> Dynex Wired Mouse DX-WMSE, USB ported, seems to have IRF transducer instead of trackball
As for myself, for space & portability reasons, I've only used a notebook since 2009, although I could see myself in the future getting a desktop again. I just have to think that all mice these days are wireless.
I plan to take the ball out since a little rubber sphere never goes out of style. 
-> 40-pin ribbon cable:
I can remember the days when Gateway Computers would always send out a new ribbon cable when something wasn't working, LOL.
-> 75-ohm F-type TV-signal coaxial cable
I am a permanent "cable cutter" so I'll never have the use of having my house wired for cable, or going to a TV (I haven't had "cable TV" since Lehman Brothers used to be a corporation ). I can only envision using a TV-type display for video games, digital over-air TV signal (although I happen to currently be located at a place that seems to be 50 miles from all the digital TV antennae  ) or otherwise driven from a computer.
-> VGA cable
If it means anything, I have a Sony SDM-HS95P monitor in storage that, who knows, I might power up in the future, LOL. I can't fathom anything else that could possibly use this.
-> Hynix 2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12 memory module
When my 2009-era ASUS notebook crapped out, I took these out, LOL. These are small, so I might keep this just for kicks.
@@@
I think this is all so far, LOL.

I take it all to the dump where they recycle it. Phones, cables, mice, monitors, microwaves, etc.

If you walked out of the store with it, it's obsolete....
Technology's like that.
