That’s if they’re still alive though!How about a dating service ONLY for people who tested positive to coronavirus?
It could go viral!
I spend waaay too much time in my office chair, and I wanted something to give my butt a break. I built a rack out of 2x2s to hold my monitor up in the air over my recliner (facing down at the chair), and I dug up an old ergonomic keyboard that split into two pieces so I could have one half-keyboard on each chair arm. Add a touchpad and shazam! You have a reclining workstation for almost nothing. Very little stress on your body. Unfortunately I'm quite tall so the recliner didn't fit me well and I couldn't stay in it more than an hour or so, but it was a sound idea. It would work a lot better if the monitor rack pivoted with the chair so you could recline at different angles. Maybe an idea for somebody looking at building ergo desks and whatnot...Folks, I want to give you another idea. We need to reinvent the desk chairs for remote workers such as developers. Those ergonomic chairs are expensive and not very comfortable. I was thinking about an comfortable armchair with some sort of computer table attached to it. In this way you can stay in a comfortable position between a bed and a sofa and still focused on your work.

I'm looking at plans to make our spare bed a Murphy. A roll-a-way bed cum desk would be cool for blizzards and other stuck at home instancesAlso I think this era will force people to be a bit more creative with additional bedding as well.

Yes! Valve (the video game company) just released a VR title, and I know that thousands of people have bought a VR headset for it. Those people had the money for a VR headset, and they definitely want to make use of it. Same goes for the other thousands of people who already owned one.
It doesn't have to be videogame related, although I personally think that's the easiest market to get into for VR.

Are you a spammer? Going through your posts, you post like 70% legitimate replies, 30% sketchy linksFound this YouTube video that explains the brutally HONEST truth about making money and a living online or starting a business online that most people don't want to hear:View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUFO2dS3plA
Not true.You have to have money to make money.
That sounds like a limiting belief.Correction, you have to have SEED capital to pay for a domain name, web hosting, autoresponder and a link tracking service at least. True, you can help someone but only if you are skilled, most beginners are not skilled enough to do that in the beginning. That is the problem. But, they need to be told that there is no push button, do no work thing that will make them millionaires. That is the lie being perpetuated. It takes work, skill, and effort just like in the real world!

I almost feel like you're a victim of these sketchy videos and you're just reposting them thinking they're enlightened,
I dunno, sounds like you want your happy ending while denying Alice hers!I've often wondered why they don't make office chairs from minivan seats. To be honest, with all the people I know that weld and make stuff, I've often wondered why I haven't had one made for myself...... as my @ss is hurting while I type this.... I'll be texting my friend Gary tomorrow, I should have done this years ago!
Or, how about an interchangeable butt part on an office chair? Some days you may want a firm one or a soft one or even make one that is kind of like a donut except it is only felt and not seen (some people don't use donuts because they don't want others to see it) for people that need that sort of thing. You could even make one that has a warmer in it for the winter and make one with a cooler in it for the warmer months. No..... no one needs to make one that vibrates. We do not need Alice sitting at her desk through lunch with a smile on her face and then sleeping all afternoon
You can use an AWS EC2 instance and rent out a powerhouse of a machine if you want.Is this a way I can hire a beefier virtual machine to process videos?
My PC is good enough for some hardcore Excel, and some light video editing. I don’t want to spend money on more hardware if I want to process videos faster. How do I access better computing power?
Lots of Commercial Real Estate here in KC has already been converted to condos and apartments. I think some more spacious loft/apartments with ways to isolate yourself to work and also ways to work and be with/watch the family.i'm thinking of how society will change due to all this... knowing that can help you plan businesses around that
i think some of the changes will be:
people working from home, people more conscious of germs, potential dismantling of the chinese communist regime, calculating the risk for various pandemics/catastrophes, greater trust in experts, more delivery services, closing of commercial real estate
I just had a Facebook messenger chat with my mums cleaner. (Isn’t that amazing in itself? Messaging someone in another country via a device in my hand...)
Anyway, the cleaner's been in for 20 mins to change my mum's bed covers, unblock the shower plug hole (it can get dangerously slippy otherwise), and do a quick vacuum. My mum was in another room. The cleaner wore gloves and disinfected surfaces as she went. Granted she didn’t wear a mask because it’s not the culture in the UK to wear masks (yet?).
I’m wondering how many old or vulnerable people who are self-isolated / cacooned will need a quick visit by a professional cleaner to keep their home safe and clean?
People are already on Facebook and in Facebook groups. They’re also used to the interface.I've had a few ideas for community listings websites to help local businesses or communities during the Corona pandemic, but the feedback off friends I've run these ideas past has been why don't you just start a FB group.
What do you guys think of FB groups versus websites? Is there any reason something would work better on FB?
Do you guys think there will be a long lasting push to bring manufacturing back to the US? It seems like there might be some coming legislation to encourage this and people are definitely realizing that being dependent on foreign manufacturing is not good, but will this be strong enough to counteract the cheap prices overseas?
I'm involved with manufacturing/engineering and I've been trying to figure out how I can help businesses with this. I'm thinking consulting and logistical assistance and planning that help companies through all the stages of moving their manufacturing. Any thoughts?
