UFO was such a great band. 'Strangers In The Night' is an all-time great live album.

Does anybody have any suggestions for good poker sites or apps to play with your friends. Not-real money games and have the ability for some sort of interaction like chat or video.

We used donkhouse.com last week and it worked pretty well. It's super bare bones but it's free. It does have a chat capabilities but we used WhatsApp instead.

Our game last night was postponed until wednesday - but we all signed up at Poker Stars and arranged for a private "club." Not sure how it will work, but the son of one of my buddies used it with his friends and said that it worked well.

I’ve done two “home game” tournaments on poker stars since this all started and it works seamlessly.

Not sure about the rest of you, but the 5 or 6 of us in North Jersey have an exceedingly beautiful day on our hands. Just finished up a zoom conference with my wife’s family and put a turkey breast in the oven.

Oh wow same here except one kid is making YouTube videos, the other is plowing through a whole bag of jellybeans, and we just had spaghetti at 3:45PM. We is risen.

If I mentioned this already forgive me, but one thing I've learned over the last five weeks is that I don't think it's going to be especially onerous for us to retire the way we're planning to whether that's in Thailand or Mexico or somewhere else. The plan all along was to try and get by on less than about $2,000 a month (in a place where rent in a decent area should cost about $750/mo or thereabouts). I think we could very easily get that budget down to about $1,600/mo if we had to and honestly we may have to if Trump wins.

FYI if you've been using Zoom to keep in touch with friends and loved ones.

Over 500,000 Zoom accounts sold on hacker forums, the dark web

KEXP's morning DJ has a live show this morning...from his lawn.

Telekinesis, Live

Telekinesis isn't a huge name, but he's known, so its super weird to watch people just walk by in the background like nothing is going on.

My company has sent several notices that we are strictly forbidden from using Zoom on our work computers. I need to get a new computer and wanted to go to a store and see different options. Should have done that sooner... Phone is a bit annoying with Zoom, but it's fine.

I tried to get our company to prohibit it, but they at least agreed to only install it when absolutely necessary.

That's funny because Zoom is what my company uses for all of our external customer meetings; even though our parent company forbids it.

I'm on group texts with my home unit saying that they are having Zoom meetings that are mandatory (obviously not for me though).

And then I'm checking email saying not to use it according to my security manager.

Hopefully by the time I get home this shit is squared away. There's enough bullshit misinformation on this deployment that I don't need it at home too.

As long as I don't use my banking password for my Zoom account, what is the real risk in having my Zoom account hacked?

I have no idea how any of this works, but according to the email from our IT department hackers can access our computers through Zoom, and we have all sorts of sensitive information on our clients' employees. I can't begin to comprehend how a hacker could access anything through Zoom. I know they can use your password to crash your conference and start saying inappropriate shit. I also know kids at my son's middle school shared classroom login codes, so other kids Zoom-bombed classes and caused some trouble.

I think they meant this instead of just interrupting calls: https://thehackernews.com/2020/04/zoom- ... sword.html

I love spotify.

That's amazing.

This will be as popular as the Best Tom Brady games bracket I posted a few weeks ago, but here's one for DMB songs with a long article ranking each song.

In.

I'm only a fan in the "I listened to the popular stuff non-stop 20 years ago" way, but if I were to pick my top 10 off the top of my head, I think 2 are in the play-in games and 4 more are other 10 seeds or lower.

I will also once again shout this into the void:

DO NOT SEED TOURNAMENTS OF FAVORITE THINGS. Just randomize the whole thing and stop introducing bias.

Ooh, I just saw Crash Into Me is in a play-in game. He's the type of guy who complains they played too many popular songs at a concert. Deep tracks only!

No Satellite at all?

83. Satellite (Under the Table and Dreaming). Back-to-back classics here — probably ranked much lower than many would have either. I like it, I’ve just never loved it. Satellite’s guitar riff is no doubt among the three or four most recognizable Matthews has ever written and is required learning for any young guitar player inspired by the man.

In college, I absolutely loved intentionally coming in too early on the lyrics to "Satellite".

This needs its own thread.

Jesus, dude. We're doing a group counseling session at work and people are sharing some sad-ass shit related to all of this and you made me laugh out loud.

Ha.

Happy 13th birthday!

Online poker with friends is helping keep me sane. Two regular weekly games scheduled.

Highly recommended.

You guys play for real money and have an extra seat for any games?

I might be interested in crashing a game at some point if that's something anyone is cool with (or if we want to do a Swamp game).

I'm not a ringer. I'm probably as good as any of you guys or any rando you'll sit next to in Vegas. I know what I'm doing but I don't have the patience to really be an elite player. That's why I stick to 3-6/4-8 limit or 1-2 NL (depending on the house). I like the friendly, not cutthroat games and just want to drink for free and bleed blinds and limp in in late position. But then I just say fuck it and start limping all the time.
