Anyone know people like this?

"Hey let's hang out this weekend. I know you've been super careful and I've been super careful, so it will be fine."

Mother****er, you were just telling me about how your daughter is out of control, doing bong rips with her friends until 2am, how you hit a happy hour last week, and had to travel out of state for an emergency business trip.

Live poker restarts here in Slovakia today. Probably going to play tonight for an hour or so just to see what it's like.

I know a lot of people ITT say they won't play, but the number of cases here is zero almost every day - yesterday there was one case (the 3 cases you'll see if you look it up includes two people who were quarantined on arrival, so IMHO should actually be in the stats statistics for wherever they came from), zero cases for the couple of days before that.

Maybe in autumn everything will be closed again.

I have to make it a short one though as it's my wedding anniversary today.

Have played some home games the past two weeks in Australia (in a state with 0 cases in the wild atm, all 29 cases are in hospital or state run quarantine). Haven't had an issue, would expect the vast majority of former players to play once the local card rooms and casino's open up.

Happy anniversary, Lektor!

Please give us a report on the pokerz. The setups I've seen in USA #n don't look like a fun experience, interested to know if any changes made in a country which handled this better.

For this to work, the protester need to be really vigilant about staying distant from anyone who might be in the vulnerable population. But it is indeed quite possible this could result in a spike in infections without any noticeable increase in deaths.

Let's make sure everyone is exposed to plenty of disinfectant chemicals so people can die from cancer in 30 years.

Took the plunge yesterday but stupidly buzzed it myself so probably looked terrible. Later I ran into a guy who lives in my building and I mentioned I'd just cut my hair. He was like 'man, next time come to me, I'm a trained barber' so neatened it all up for me for free. Now looking pretty fly.

My buzzer finally crapped out about halfway through buzzing my hair and I had to run to Walmart looking like a crazy person. Statissicly speaking it was bound to happen mid cut so I should have had a backup or a hat.

if people were getting sick from the protests, they'd be having symptoms by now, right? it's usually 2-5 days, right?

people would be posting about it on twitter, right?

The respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 typically appear an average of 5-6 days after exposure, but may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

So are they going back and changing 'history' by adding them to what days they are supposed to be on? If so, I think this is correct.

It's going to turn out that a cocktail of sunlight, adrenaline, secondhand weed smoke and tear gas form a framework for a vaccine. Trump takes credit, repeals the 22nd Amendment, and is in office for 20 more years.

Basically nothing at all. I was assigned to a table where we were 7-handed so as to balance the numbers (i.e. there were 21 of us at 3 tables playing 1/1 euro NLHE) but I assume the other seats were available if more people had come.

When I came in I asked the bouncer when he was taking my coat if I needed to wear a mask at the table, he said yes so I took it out of my coat pocket (I hadn't been wearing it in the street). At the table itself though everyone had their masks on but pulled down around their chins.

I think like all businesses they had the disinfectant hand spray on the door.

Most tilting thing was a new chip set in which ones were red and fives were very light green, almost white. wtf?
