Quarantined how are you spending your time?

So you want something for free and a fast response while you wait?

@Jad.sahmarani Goui is a brand I know from UAE,… Note that Anker community is for reviews on products from Anker / Sister company (such as Soundcore, Eufy, Roav and Nebula)…

Usually reviews on 3rd party products are not welcome.

There is no easy shortcut to get products to review, unless of course you are a social media influencer with huge fan following OR you are selected in the “We love testing” or “Beta Testing” or win in some competition!

Also given the geography you are in, Anker.com does not ship it there (but may be through its subsidiary)

You may reach out to support.mea@anker.com (Middle East and Africa Only) to check if they have any Beta Testing or Product Testing… chances are zero / sifar - don’t keep very high hopes, but worth a try though.

Most people are bored and feeling fatter. Some having a bad time.

I am doing as much voluntary work I can find, there’s more volunteers than work to be done.

I did the pie shop run earlier today, collated pie orders, went to shop, distributed pies. It sounds altruism but I actually had the excuse to get out and exercise so I probably gained.

I don’t personally out in the real world know anyone unwell or in need, all I could find I helped already. I see the news and its sad but in its probably not net as bad as the news implies. There’s probably a few not dead today due to not being in the traffic accident they didn’t had as stuck at home. Probably later this summer there will be a few less people dead from bad air quality due to less people driving. There’s going to be upsides which we may realise later.

Catching up with my quantum field theory sat in garden. Anker Powercore 20000 PD Essential keeps all fully charged through the day. Have my noise-cancelling headphones as some people have some strange sense of “music” from neighbours.

Any HitchHiker’s Guide the Galaxy fans will get resonance with this

Well pretty much on the day we ended lockdown, I broke my arm, so I am still trying to keep my mind occupied to distract.

I finished my particle physics, standard model, guage bosons course.

So now I’m going back to electronics.

I think I might build one of these to point at anyone playing loud music.

Hey guys.
Today my bubble was burst! I got the call and start work again tomorrow.
After 3 months it will be difficult to readjust and get back into the swing of work as I’ve basically been full on teacher to Charlie.
I joked to my manager that I’ve basically defaulted, he didn’t seem to find that funny…

Will you find your old office again, Paul?

My old office is my dining room table, shared with Debs.
I make more calls than her so she won’t be pleased with the extra noise :man_shrugging:t2:

It will feel weird, and probably the office has to be quite different, coffee, toilets, desks, etc, all have to be Covid-19 compliant.

I told Paul if his office is still existing.

May be they got some “new rooms” in the basement.
No more toilets, no coffee, an old, lousy shaky table as desk…
All deep cuts caused by “the crisis”:rofl:

I was working in the university for more than 45 years.
We were doing “teleteaching” since many years.
Was more for those who could not take part at the lessons.
The first time we were afraid that no one of the students would show up in the auditorium…
But was not true; they were coming as usual.
They used the recordings for repeating.

My first left handed neighbour is teacher for mechanical engineering.
It was pretty hard for him to hold lessons via internet.
But he managed.
My other left handed neighbour is working for MS.
He is used to do his work from home, no probs for him at al.
Business as usual, he told me
A friend of mine is working for Google and he is still “outsourced” 'til next year.
But he doesn’t like, he told me, the personal contact is very important for him.
Human beings are social creatures. No hermits.

That’s a great news!! Wish I too had received similar call :frowning: (things not looking so bright here though)

It is better to complete work in office and come back home to relax… as of now, it looks like work never ends and relaxation never starts … its a endless loop, like a phone / pc stuck in boot-loop

True words my friend.
Even for those who got mental support from their families its hard enough.
But the others?

So the scientists are not for the relaxing of lockdown because too many are still infectious and there’s a 5 week lag from letting people mix more and the deaths that causes. So UK is going through a major relaxing next week so expect UK deaths to go up late August. The question is then what happens.

My suspicion is so many people are fed up it will be a “so?” View and just let the inevitable happen. So the opposite of the clamour in March.

So just lots of exercise and positive thoughts and cross fingers through coming winter.

As long people maintain the physical distancing and practice good hygiene, hand washes,… , things should get better, if not reduce the spread. Govt may be doing the start-stop-watch process, and if the cases increase, stop the re-opening

I am seeing a lot of people here very lax, not wearing masks, which may be contributing to increase in cases, it has been going bad in california…
