We are doing a big Thanksgiving down the road here in Nicaragua. An American expat and his GF are hosting a huge party. At least fifteen of us going. Going to be huge. Even getting a turkey.
Which is odd that everyone thinks that getting a turkey is going to be hard. When they are literally raised right in the village.

Gun? that's to much work!
It's only a lot of work if you're a bad shot. My family bagged a wild turkey a few years back. Best bird we ever ate.
Edit: I didn't shoot it. I am not a good shot.

Well wild turkey is different - I was thinking raised turkeys, catch it, break it's neck.. etc..

Never done turkeys, but chickens are hella messy once the head is chopped off. Been years since I was around that.

I have an uncle that has worked most of his life cleaning at a chicken processing plant in the area..... not my idea of fun!

Eating them is the fun part. Catching them can definitely be work. Especially if they notice their friends go inside and not come back out, lol.

it's finally hit. a local town that up to this point had only about 4 cases of the big C has gone from 1 to 18 in 3 days.
They're shipping the real sick ones off to a hospital 3 hours away. that's where i'd end up. stuff that, i'm working remotely for a few days.

All the best in your attempts to avoid it!
We're going to get smashed when our borders open up. -

I live super remote in the middle of nowhere. If I got sick, i'd have to go.... 20 minutes away. LOL
Screw that "first world" BS. The healthcare there seems awful. We always pick on the US, but it's not the only one that can't get its sh*t together.

We're going to get smashed when our borders open up.Only as bad as it would have been before. But with a lot of time to prepare for it.
Even with delta here, we barely notice. Impact is super low being full open.

I'm actually organizing files and folders on my admin system. So much accumulated garbage. So many powershell files/scripts scattered everywhere.

I feel your pain. I finally put all of my scripty type stuff into a repo on Gitlab.

We're going to get smashed when our borders open up.Yep. All you can do is look after you & yours.
Thing I don't understand, NSW cases dropped from 1000+ to 200+ when they hit 80% but in Vic we're still up in the 1000+ range, it's barely dropped. Don't understand that at all?

Well, none of them are mine in any way... But that would be nice.

I have a simple solution to that. If I look at it and it's useful, It's mine (credits and URL I got it from preserved, of course).
If I write it, it's mine, and it goes into a private Gitlab repo.
If it has sensitive data involved, then it goes into a Git Repo on a local folder that is backed up to a server nightly... but It's still mine, lol.

I've been considering doing much of the same. I've been collecting some scripts and making one or two of my own and seems like the logical thing to do. Just need to sit down and get on with it.

PTO day today for required pre holiday clean out. Man I've collected more junk this past year than I thought

@gjacobse @dafyre you guys can actually do the writing part. I'm trying to learn, but it feels like when I tried to learn to sight read music.
LOL - Reading sheet music... Oh I remember trying - and failing. And most of my scripts a unskilled monkey could write.. very crude and mostly simple.

I finally graduated from unskilled monkey to monkey with writing like a doctor's handwriting.
I can still sight read music and even compose my own pieces when the mood strikes... it's just... the mood usually doesn't last long enough to finish any thing more than a few bars.
