I took 50,000+ steps on Saturday, though we have the benefit of people generally covering their faces in the winter anyway. It was 10F/-9C when I started on Saturday.
@guizzy That's a good point but consider that people are already expressing surprise at media that was ultimately never hidden from public eyes. It's just been presented and cherry picked for easy consumption.
@guizzy Not enough has been said about Parler's international users too. There's people all over the world that apparently enjoyed that app but again this US-centric view dominates everything.

And even if you could reach those speeds, it’s not clear that you’d need them. The typical download speed in the US is just 72 Mbps, or less than 1 percent of the theoretical maximum speed.

The real world numbers are much more dismal, using an internal speed test that I can get Gb speeds on wired connection I can get at most about 300 Mbps on my Wi-Fi5 connection. I am going to guess that the 3.5 Gbps might be total throughput using multiple connections but my AP only had a 1 Gb wired connection anyway.
I have the easy role. I mostly stay in contact with descendants of my nearest (in age) siblings and half-siblings. One of my brothers tracks and contacts almost all descendants & step-descendants of both grandfathers.
@lnxw48a1 One of my favourite novels - Cryptonomicon is founded entirely on this subject. Reading it was quite an education as it goes right back to the fundamentals of money.
The most annoying side effect of the pandemic remote working conditions has been people's perception you're available 24/7, I have had more tickets come in at the weekends than ever before.
Got Xfce installed w/o hassle in a dualboot with W7. Runs smoothly, change of themes and icons to look like W10 was straightforward. Now I can bear look at the Xfce desktop https://gnusocial.cc/attachment/523608
