My wife is a 30+ years as a nurse. She has herd from physicians that they have been told to pad the numbers by recording death by other causes as Covid-19 deaths. This is not the first I've heard of this and this has become political in the most horrible way.


To all you disbelievers I have a daughter in law that is a doctor and was working at the university of Mississippi and went to volunteer in a Bronx hospital in New York because they need all the help they can get
I just pray that she will stay safe and by the way she is Canadian helping our friends south of our border

Interesting situation. Because of Covid-19, Amazon says it is giving priority to shipping essential items, so regular items will take longer. Prime delivery has gone from one or two days to a week or two. I don't mean to be skeptical, but I wonder if Amazon is just taking it easy with their shipments and using Covid-19 as an excuse. Since I'm paying over $100 a year for fast delivery, I wonder how long I will be expected to put up with slow deliveries.

I'm just floating an idea here - not complaining about delivery - but if they could deliver in two days during the Christmas rush, why can't they do the same now?

Go easy on me. This is a topic for discussion, not an attack on Amazon.

I feel your pain, here in Canada Amazon.ca went from two days to 30 days but still charged me for prime

No point other than to reflect the ongoing virus in comparison with other known causes of death. I am placing no political agenda whatsoever which is why I did not start it in The Attic. Can't a chart be posted that is actually pretty clear in its numbers without there having to be some point to be made? Aren't the numbers themselves The Point?

Have a wonderful day my friend,

Are you telling me that the overcrowding in hospitals and having to build extra hospital accommodation and funeral homes that can’t keep up and mass graves in New York State is a normal yearly thing

A small unusual problem: When I start my computer every morning it opens as usual. But...none of the video works on any of the news sites and, when trying YouTube it doesn't work. I get the same message: error occurred please try again later. If, and I do, restart the computer everything works just as it should. I am using a Dell Inspiron All-in-One 16 ram. Anyone know why this would be? This has been happening for several days. Once it works, it works all do. Turn it off and then back on works fine. Just that first thing in the morning. Not devastating. Thanks.

Hi Folks, I've had the pleasure of photographing the two locomotives involved in this amazing Civil War story and thought I'd share with you.

Here is a brief history. Much more information is available online.

The Great Locomotive Chase or Andrews' Raid was a military raid that occurred April 12, 1862, in northern Georgia during the American Civil War. Volunteers from the Union Army, led by civilian scout James J. Andrews, commandeered a train, The General, and ran it northward toward Chattanooga, Tennessee, doing as much damage as possible to the vital Western and Atlantic Railroad (W&A) supply line from Atlanta to Chattanooga as they went. They were pursued by Confederate forces at first on foot, and later by another locomotive they passed called The Texas. The Texas hastily took to the Chase in reverse (tender first) The chase lasted for 87 miles ending 2 miles north of Ringold Georgia when the General ran out of fuel. Andrews and his men abandoned the General running into the woods in hope of escape.
Because the Union men had cut the telegraph wires, the Confederates were slow to send warnings ahead to forces along the railway. Confederates eventually captured the raiders and quickly executed 6 as spies, including Andrews; some were jailed while others were able to flee. Some of the raiders were the first to be awarded the Medal of Honor by the US Congress for their actions. As a civilian, Andrews was not eligible. Several of the members of Andrews Raiders (including James Andrews himself) are interned at the Chattanooga National Cemetery. The graves are arranged around a large monument dedicated to them with a replica of the General on top. (parts taken from Wikipedia)

Fix an iPad Pro Keyboard Layout Problem Where the ‘y’ key and the ‘z’ key Are Reversed
Posted on January 13, 2016 by vsajewel

I’ve been really frustrated trying to get up to speed while typing on the iPad Pro. One huge problem I’ve been having is due to the keyboard layout which came with a factory default setting for the onscreen keyboard using a qwertz layout.

Sadly, most Americans don’t actually use the standard qwertz layout…we use the qwerty layout. You’d be surprised to discover that one simple swapping of 2 keys, makes a huge difference when it comes to typing proficiency.

I spent quite a bit of time researching the problem and just wasn’t finding any useful help until I read about someone who was using what they called a Slovene keyboard. Their keyboard description was similar to mine with the ‘y’ and the ‘z’ key reversed. Now I knew more about what kind of keyboard I was using…but little else.

Specifically I still didn’t know how I could get the keyboard to revert to a different layout. Then I remembered that a great new feature of ios 9 was the addition of a search box to Settings. I typed ‘!eyboqrd’ into the search box and found exactly where I needed to go.

The location of the keyboard layout options is: Settings – General – Keyboard – Keyboards – English

iPad Pro keyboard layout settings

Once you’ve tapped on English you’ll arrive at several layout alternatives. In my case qwertz was checked off. I switched it to qwerty and everything is much better now!

Some of you may have missed the question.

"My question is, what is the best size internal drive to order in my mbp?"

It looks like they don't offer hard drives anymore - just various SSDs. They are very small compared with traditional hard drives. The largest is 512 GB.
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch

What you should do is buy a drive designed for internal use and then buy an enclosure for it. HGST UltraStar drives are very good. They're "enterprise," designed to work 24/7. I've bought reconditions drives from Amazon, and I've been using them for years. Of course, you never rely on just one drive. You need at least two more as backups.
