Digression: If you're red/green colorbind, the https://mcbroken.com website is pure frustration. All the dots look the same to me. Fortunately the iOS accessibility color filter works wonders. After enabling that (in deutan mode) I now see green and gray/purple dots.

Red/green are pretty common status colors. What would you suggest, perhaps different shapes?

Shapes or patterns. Could keep the dots, but add stripes going one way for red and stripes going another way for green.

The particular color also matters a lot. Like even though I’m red/green color blind, I can still easily distinguish red/green traffic lights.

Interesting, there's a location off the coast of San Francisco in the pacific ocean called "Morocco Mole Lab Pacific Ocean, Pune" Anyone know what that's supposed to be? Maybe a dummy location for test data?

It's PMEL

How? PMEL is located in Seattle. According to their website, they have a location in Newport, Oregon also. What do they have here?

I can't even find an island or something near this location on Google Maps.

I used to walk to school in sometimes very cold weather (-35 Celsius). Once, in order to try preventing the inside of my nose to freeze, I put my scarf over it. The scarf froze very quickly and I ended up with ice around my neck... Now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder how people will manage masks this year with COVID in cold countries. TL;DR: don’t put a scarf over your nose in very cold temperatures.

Would a coronavirus survive in these conditions anyhow? Or, remain transmittable?

Coronaviruses cause the common cold, which is more common when it's cold.

Did you work in Oakbrook? I was on a team that was trying to make a few smart restaurants. We got to about 50 before the project was canned but we were trying to put everything from fryer oil life to what the platens were cooking and HVAC all on a touch screen. It was a lot of fun.

I’ve worked for a few commercial equipment makers. Talked to Oakbrook and Romeoville but never been inside. Every time McDs changes CEOs I feel bad because that means almost every current project is going to be shitcanned as the new person tries to make their mark. Are you still there now?

Haha, nah, the project was canned and I moved on to greener pastures.
