Yesterday my phone had zero service but my tablet had service... They are both on the same network so I don't understand.

I was going to order take out pizza last night but I couldn't even order it. I know I could have called on my phone, but my phone wasn't doing phone calls either

Thank goodness it's working today because we wanted to have take out pizza and game night tonight.

If your tablet works and your phone does not, try clicking on the wi-fi thing under settings.

You should get a months worth on hand since you're not a normal person. My Dr taught me that years ago because of a hurricane we had that had everyone in a panic. Ever since then I keep stuff on hand so I don't have to deal with the people who buy it for no reason.

Ordinarily I would but when I got laid off groceries were the bigger concern. I have little kids to feed and my animals. The kids and animals come first. I need to save the money in my HSA for an emergency.

Since a lot of my regularly scheduled social gatherings are cancelled, I'm working on learning how to stream games right now. Some of my friends asked that I try to stream my videogames and they'd chat with me while I played.
Some things will be easy to stream, like Minecraft, Jackbox and other low-power games. (God I'm an old gamer. Feels bad to say MC is "low-powered".) And I can always stream just my desktop for things like art. But games like ARK that have a lot of CPU usage will be more challenging and may lag the game or cut out. Some games are just computer hogs.
I'm wondering if I can route my desktop to another computer and run the streaming programs through that. If I can run the streaming programs through G's lower powered laptop while my gaming laptop does the heavy lifting of running the game it may reduce problems. I'm hoping that while the video may have more time lag it may have less stuttering that way and less lag in-game. I'm going to do some experiments.

I'm so lost on Star Wars. I've been watching the new ones with my kids when they come out. We go to the theater every December as a family to watch them. I really like the new ones.

I never watched any of the older Star wars so that's why I think I'm so confused But I have watched the Mandalorian and love it. I also watched the kids series they have or had.

Lol, thats A LOT of catching up to do!! Unlike many, I enjoyed Episodes 1-3, minus the idea of the force being generated by "midachlorians".

I never watched any of the Star wars as a kid but my brothers did so they know all about it... I am so lost when I watch the new ones, but I really like them because of all the action in them. I know who all the characters are and everything, but I just don't understand the whole thing because I didn't watch all of the stuff before the new ones.

I'm so sorry that you are in that situation. My husband just heard that he might not be working either because Virginia might be shutting down... That's not a definite thing, but his boss said to be prepared.

We have kids and lots of animals as well... I will starve before my kids and animals go without food. I will live off white rice if I have to and make do with it.

Oh. My. Goodness...
The kids next door dressed up as zombies, make-up and all, and hung out on their front porch, waving at the few passersby they saw. It was priceless ... and I couldn't find my phone to get pictures! I guess that's one way to keep the youngsters occupied while school's out!
