Given the experience most of us are having with 2020, it's probably classed as pornography. Or animal husbandry. Wifery. Whatever.

Got an earlier version with toilet paper peaking, I find the drop back to normal in April in your graph even better.

I dunno - round here patience appears to be improving.
I went food shopping this morning, and nobody seemed to have a problem with an orderly queue to get in, or with slow people who browse the shelves instead of taking a shopping list. (Though one lady who decided that the "direction arrows" in no way applied to her wasn't popular)
And the lack of queues to pay and leave was good.
In some ways, it's better - it slows down the whole "experience" and makes it a lot more relaxing. Odd but true.

I was more referring to the posts that say; "You can stay shut up in your house afraid to come out but I'm not going to be shut in any longer"!
and of course the ones that won't stay in because it's a way for the government to control them.

Or because they are too stupid to put the health / lives of others ahead of their need for a belly load of beer in the sun ...

Yep
The beaches here reopened on a limited basis; for a few hours in the morning and evening for; walking, running, surfing, but you can't lay can't he beach. And the beaches were packed the first day.
You can do anything you want but you pay for everything you do!

That's because it's a constant, so why bother including it?

First job: Realizing that what you learned at school doesn't have so much to do with reality.
Second job: realizing that most of what you learned at the first job was specific for the first job.

I needed a license for my windows 10 machine and during activation it took me to microsoft's official site.
Price : $339 .
I googled a bit and there are copies available for lot less. Finally I found one on ebay for $8. Yes that is saving of $331 and the key worked perfectly. I had a voucher for $5 so ultimately it costed me $3. That is the price I am happy to pay.
Very happy to save few $$ in this time of no job.

It's still $153 too much.

Watch out with those mega cheap licenses. It is a gray zone.
Those usually are not normal licenses, they are a re-sell of unused corporate licenses. And it is not clear yet, if legal or if there will be consequences.

I thought so too but it is for my personal home dev machine so not much bothered. At max Mickysoft can take the OS away and I will be left with Ubuntu only.

Can you resell a book you've bought?
A TV? A car?
Good luck to them trying to enforce some clause or codicil that says otherwise, which is tucked away and hidden in 950 pages of software-license verbiage. It would certainly create a lot of new haters.
AFAIK, only the government of the country where the user lives can add such restrictions, and then only by passing an ad-hoc law.
If the intent is not to defraud the buyer, you can sell anything you've paid for.

Maybe I have chosen the wrong words. I have read about it a couple of months ago. Could look for the article (written in German).
To resell things is legal, that's the main argument of the sellers of these licenses. But in this case is not guaranteed to be "valid".
The licenses are part of a corporate bulk, that didn't get fully used. The problem is... if the company that purchased these licenses had "problems" with Microsoft, and Microsoft does something with that bulk of licenses.... then the private people that have bought these cheap licenses would be affected too and can have problems with an unlicensed Windows after X time working fine.
If Microsoft ever "cancels" such a license bulk, or if the private people then get "reactivated" after that cancellation... is another point.
EDIT: Economically speaking... Probably still worth the try / risk
