So, there is a high probability I was exposed to the coronavirus a week ago. Zero clinics nearby are able to run tests on the person this doctor thinks has covid, so I can't and nor can anyone else know for sure.

There is a serious problem in requiring that you have been exposed to someone who is confirmed to have it. Even if tests were available, this policy means most people who should be tested can't be, especially 2 or 3 degrees separated.

@pandora_parrot bethesda spent thousands of dollars to license denuvo anti-piracy and wasted all of it because they included the original pre-denuvo exe in the game download.

they 0-day'd their own game.

the bethesda launcher version of doom eternal includes an EXE with no denuvo.

oh my god.

Congratulations id software you have somehow managed to overload my electrical system with your insanely efficient game engine

okay so a 65 inch tv, a desktop, a subwoofer, and miscellaneous other things shouldn't be drawing so much power that it would trip a circuit breaker, right
