Except that the cells are overcrowded and don't allow for distancing.
Apparently, many jails in the US are releasing people early to try to alleviate this.
But year, WTF? People are dumb.

Well I've never considered myself right wing, but surely to God we have some uninhabited islands around our coastline. Ship 'em all over there and go and collect the survivors in three months.
As I've not heard a single comment/quote/announcement from the Home Secretary during this period, perhaps I should offer my services in the role ...

You really can't protect people from their own stupidity...
One of the reasons for all the hype in the US media regarding COVID-19 is specifically for that targeting of young people who are not listening and are causing the virus to spread unnecessarily further as with the situation in Florida.
Luckily up here in New York, everyone is doing their job to stop this outbreak, even many of the young people I see are following the health guidelines.
But we still have a lot of very stupid people in the States who still believe Fox News is accurate reporting...

Lock 'em up in close confinement. There is a particularly Darwinian thing going on in jails and prisons under the coronavirus.
No, wait. That's giving Darwin too much of a hand. Just fine each partier a big 'ol fine and send them back home to incubate the virus they got from the party crowd.
It's not polite to wish death on people.

I am not trying to defend anyone or anything, I would only like everyone to consider several things:
- what freedoms are people willingly giving up during the Wuhan virus pandemic
- laws are being broken (like right to assembly, free speech etc)
- rights are being violated
- will we return to pre-pandemic life when this thing blows over?
It's one thing to make a party during a pandemic, and a completely different thing to sit in a park 5m (app 15ft) from the nearest person, and getting removed with an excuse: you are not jogging; and then accused of spreading the virus even you aren't infected. Even worse example is calling the police on a guy that's coughing, and it turned out the guy's a smoker, or even weirder, calling the police on the guy that was coughing cause a fly flew into the guy's mouth while yawning.
Who's more stupid, people that are making a party during a pandemic or people that blindly obey every government's decision is debatable.
All I am saying here is: think ahead, and be careful people, pandemic is not the only bad thing that's happening.

I am amazed to say that Neath Port Talbot council did just that between Monday and this morning - normally they leave it for six months so they can have nice big children of their own before they send a man with a bucket of tarmac ...

I'm amazed.

We have been waiting more that two years, and last week they did a complete resurface of about 500 yards of potholed road.
|

|

You only get to wait 2 years before they repave your roads--better yet, a resurfacing job??
Where I live, we're lucky if it's once every two decades. There's been talks going on for all my life of widening a highway, and I'm nearing 50.
What is this magical place you speak of?

Ha, ha. This is not the norm, but the council find they have nothing else to do at the moment.

I would explain what "clandestine" means, but it's a secret.

Hi All,
My current employer (for how long but that another issue!) is trying to move to having all 'stuff' online (well lets give them some credit!) GIT was used to track some files (not source code!) and now are we use Sharepoint, first thing is this right, I was fairly certain we shouldn't use GIT but is Sharepoint the right thing to use?

Kneejerk reaction:
They are going to make you redundant, so who cares if they are going to screw stuff up. You won't be there to endure the pain.
Real message:
Actually, I know nothing about Sharepoint except the fact that other parts of my company use it and I sometimes have to view a document linked via an email.
Seriously, it shows your character that even though they are letting you go, you care enough to worry about how they move forward.

Well it's my role, so they might find something else for me to do. In my experience trying to leave stuff your doing in a goodish shape can do you some good (I don't need no negative Karma, man!)

Karma aside... that's the difference between professionals and [fill the gap with your favourite word here, I just want to keep it respectful].
You don't do your work well for them, you do it for yourself. They pay you for it until the last day.
Ethics or fairness about the redundant job... that's another topic.
But I do respect your position here. 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Well I have to admit, it's not my office thats caused it, it's the incompetance of those higher in the food chain, not knowing what or how we work. This has taught me a lesson though, take pride in what you personally do. I haven't been given the official chop yet, just notice. So the climate being what it is I am preparing for the worst. I think I would have left anyway, I wasn't really making use of the skills I have... Plus a comment from my employer saying I did shoddy work on my way out might not be nice!

My experience of SharePoint is that it is the storage equivalent of a Black Hole. Once a document has been saved, it passes some kind of Event Horizon and is lost for ever, I do not know how many hours I have spent looking for documents in it only to admit defeat and rewrite them from scratch.

Well at least it wasn't Christian Graus - that would have required a universe reboot with a different operating system ...
