Just bought a six pack of Corona yesterday. Don't tell the CDC, though.
Plus users.... Mesh Deck!
The included strips are garbage unless you cut off the side rails (hot spot central), I need to dig out my dusty genny box and get some proper old school mesh in this deck.
I ended up with two decks as steam crave sent me a replacement for the original one that was lost in China since the start of January. The one on the box came from the US warehouse and arrived a day later.
Side rails trimmed off the strip.
70W is no problem but I'll probably bring it down to ~65W until I can get it on a dna with SS mesh.

Yep, you definitely do not want hot spots with stainless. Possible CR(VI) is why I curtailed my experiments with mesh years ago before commercial mesh atties.
Egads, things are getting bad out there.
No kidding! We just made a "regular" Costco run. No toilet paper, no paper towels, no tissues, no Clorox wipes or wipes of any kind. I did get a case of Clorox liquid, we use it in the water treatment system to keep the iron based bacteria down. Check out took almost a half hour because the place was mobbed.
You know COVID-19 is a threat to certain groups, like old codgers like me, but generally if you're healthy it is about the same as a bad case of the flu. It's interesting to note that of the ~130,000 infected worldwide, almost 70,000 have already recovered. We have about 1500 infected here in the US, that we know of at the moment anyway, with a total of 39 deaths. 26 of those deaths are at a nursing home in Washington state. How many have died from the regular, old, flu during this same period? I'll bet dollars to donuts it's more than 39.

On a lighter note, I got tired of slow network access on this craptop. I was using a USB A/C dongle and it would normally drop to 50Mb/ps as the day wore on. I sprang for a new USB, A/C, dongle. So far it's sitting, rock solid, at 897Mb/ps. Like night and day.
We have one confirmed case here in our town They shut down the University & Costco is sold out of TP Also! Of all the things you think people would want to hoard, TP isn't my first choice!

I would think that St Pete had called early if network ever crept up to 50MbPS. When ours got to 6MbPS, I had to put on my aviator glasses 'cause I knew I was flying. Usually we sit at 5Mbps with a 91 Ping.
LOL, it was my wife's first choice, I was lucky and found some during lunchbreak.We have one confirmed case here in our town
That, and clorox wipes.......
Mrs CMD, knowing my proclivities and preferences, stopped at Sam's Club. She stocked up on cheap vodka because I am shameless. I don't even pour it into a Grey Goose bottle.
She has hoarded TP for a long time. She was watching Johnny Carson in years gone by and there was a gag, which she took seriously, about a shortage. From the first time she kissed me, I have never been low on two of the comforts of modern life.
Googling "Corona Virus Conspiracy Theory's" has some interesting reading.
