My family has hooked up with Zoom and plan to have a virtual Easter. Having said that I have to wonder if the site crashes from overuse.

Used it for a couple of years now, it likely will not. Best video stability and quality of the bunch by far imo.

be warned if you are using free accounts they only go for 40 minutes and you’ll likely have issues with the audio through the computer. Need to dial in.

use a paid account and only quality issues you’ll have are environmental (wifi quality) for individual users.

I made a thermostat.

And poorly painted some calipers... but I have no garage to install them... god knows when the auto hobby shop will open again =(
Ordered some ceramic knockoff to clearcoat over the decals. Maybe I'll put some on the mirrors too.

And now I'm procrastinating building a 3D printer ... so I can make a proper housing for the thermostat instead of taping it to the old one, and unfuck the wires.

Question for the board. Does anyone own a Peloton or one of the competing bikes/brands?

Afternoon walks around the neighborhood are fine, but the wife is thinking we should just cancel our gym membership and get the bike. You can finance it now for $58/month, we'd save money overall on the gym membership cancellation.

I saw a real Peloton cruising around the Pax River this weekend.
That Maryland stay-at-home lockdown sure is under strict enforcement for the yuppies.

This. It's 2020, and they still can't figure out bluetooth on a PC.
The background greenscreen is entertaining in long meetings, though. There's like 5 of us who just play with the backgrounds while the tech challenged people go on and on and on and on about how to install Matlab at home.
