Quarantined how are you spending your time?

[rant] So … my clinical rotations got canceled. Which means that I won’t graduate on time unless Governor Newsom intervenes with the Board of Registered Nursing. The President of California BRN is Michael Jackson, and he’s kind of an asshole. I was supposed to graduate in August 2020. Ugh.

NY, TX, VA, OR, ID, and maybe a few other states have already modified their nursing school requirements so that students can graduate on time. Times like this when there is such a huge nurse shortage, CA needs to make some accommodations so that we can put more nursing students into the workforce.

Anyway, I still have my didactic courses. We Zoom every Friday. [/rant]

All the best on your test @Tank :crossed_fingers:t3:

My plan is to attempt to replace my phone battery once its at the point simplying carrying a Powercore is not sufficient.

The iPhone 7 battery replacement doesn’t look that scary. Now you got your new phone, give a shot at replacing the old phone battery and keep as backup phone?

Easy to do.
There are many instruction videos.
I replaced the battery of an old Iphone, were the battery was glued.
That was not so easy.

Are the batteries still glued in the newer models?

Yes which is why I suggested it only for a phone you’d probably throw away anyway. I replaced batteries in 3 old devices, they do tend to make it harder and harder each year, but this particular model looks not too difficult.

Yes some newer models have batteries glued in so hard there’s a small risk of fire as you pry out. So outdoors type task.

Some people are better prepared for home quarantine than others…

Take care while doing it specially if your old battery got puffed

Quarantine is driving me crazy :rage:

Good quarantine (avoiding getting ill) or bad quarantine (ill, not giving it to someone else) ?

I’m currently tweaking a laptop setup, currently repartitioned an SD card and copying downloaded media to it. Making the assumption I’ll be ill at some point and getting my entertainment systems setup. I’m still allowed outdoors to do things like pickup Amazon locker stuff. But basically staying indoors or garden a fair bit now.

Here in UK where I am there only 0.013% known infected, 167 known infected out 1.2 million, and we had lock-down 5 days ago which should slow the spread. So my chance of catching it still rather low, but plan for the worst and hope for the best. Actual infected is going to be higher but even if 20x higher is still <1% so chances of catching it from just, say, walking in the park is near nil. I still think the peak will be June, doubling every few days til it’s very near all of us.

Folks in the UK, a top tip is to go and get this , and use a large storage system, it gets you non-expiring HD def media you can watch when bad Internet, like end of the garden far from Wifi type situations. I have a 1TB harddrive on my Raspberry Pi and as my server and tweaking my laptop now has about 200GB free space to store locally a copy. That’s about 200 hours, and I’d already bought a double-size battery, sat in the garden all day yesterday and battery worked all day. Is a 5 year old laptop I been renovating, new keyboard.

I replaced an iPhone 7 battery and it’s pretty easy.

The first iPhone that is hard to replace properly is the 8, and it’s because it’s the first one that has better water proofing.

I dont know if Apple did, but I they like to produce such a mess.:wink:

Montana has allowed the breweries to deliver beer to customers at their homes. Like the milkman, except with growlers of beer. They have been deemed an “essential” industry, per the governor’s orders. :beers:

Here they run short of bottles I was reading.
But dont think the usual 1/2L glass beer bottles we have in our recycling system.
Suppose its the 1/2L glass waterbottles.
People were hoarding those first, now they are afraid to go out and bring the bottles
( crates) back.
Tomorrow I will visit my beverage store.

Bring back the empty ones and take the same quantity of full.

Thats what a responsible boozer do.
Thats called circulation. :rofl:
