Saddest thing about the C64 is how bad all the present day emulators are.
I have a case full of C-64 games on 5.25" disks, 16 feet away from where I'm sitting.

Sweden gives up on its approach.
- WSJSweden’s Covid-19 experiment is over.
After a late autumn surge in infections led to rising hospitalizations and deaths, the government has abandoned its attempt—unique among Western nations—to combat the pandemic through voluntary measures.
Like other Europeans, Swedes are now heading into the winter facing restrictions ranging from a ban on large gatherings to curbs on alcohol sales and school closures—all aimed at preventing the country’s health system from being swamped by patients and capping what is already among the highest per capita death tolls in the world.
The clampdown, which started last month, put an end to a hands-off approach that had made the Scandinavian nation a prime example in the often heated global debate between opponents and champions of pandemic lockdowns.

Is that saying that the hands-off approach kills as many people as the USA's half-measures?

I think we should take the few weeks at the end of 2020 getting the vulnerable and healthcare workers vaccinated, and then open things up again.
California re-closing despite decent mask use and plenty of businesses figuring out outdoor shopping and dining is way too much. Our ICU % levels are nothing like the Midwest.
+ our Winter is nothing like the rest of the country.

Wife and I walk the dog every night. Saturday night we went to the 2nd part of our neighborhood and saw a party tent setup outside the garage of a house.
The owners are probably in their 50s or 60s, no kids living there, and their garage is basically a bar. No cars can fit in it as it has a fully built bar inside with a tiki theme. They have a golden retriever they let wander around where ever it wants, and obviously shit where it wants, which they don't clean up. They have loud parties a lot. We saw the guy that lives there walk out of the garage and take a piss towards his backyard one evening (a young teen girl lives next door, two very young children across the street, and 4 young children right behind him in the direction he was aiming). We've heard the wife slurring on multiple occasions, day or night.
Recently, we saw a food delivery person at their door and nobody was answering. I yelled to him, "Knock on the garage." He did and a minute later slurry comes out the side door yelling, "What's going on out here?" before realizing she had ordered food.
We saw party goers leaving the party. More folks in the same age range. Not a mask in sight.

My kid made a mistake reading the revised (for the 4th time this school year) learning schedule and missed two zoom classes this morning. Wouldn't have happened if he was in school. English teacher sent yet another threatening message... when his repeated intolerance was addressed once, his reply was, "This is how he'll be treated in the real world." This teacher is retiring at the end of the year.
Anyway, kids are getting fucked over, and the half-measures being taken have taken us to all-time-high infection rates so it's all for nothing.

I'm not sure if I'd even call them half-measures.
