@DhanishthaGhosh Yes that's absolutely fine.

And such things very likely will rekindle people's interest and the temperature around here

I have been active in some other rooms where people talk about all kinds of weird things. The gaming SE site's chat room is full of politics talk

@EddieKal I am well thanks! I can't seem to fall asleep at night. I have been staying awake all night and sleeping during the day ... Work is fine. Very elementary. Underemployed. Still hunting ...

What is tiring you?

Eddie Kal

@AIQ Various things. Life, Election. SE even.

AIQ

Hope not the election or the pandemic ...

Oh well lol!

Was just typing "election" ...

Eddie Kal

lol I spend too much time browsing tweets of insanity

AIQ

Life sucks ... I really want someone to hit me hard in my head so I forget everything ...

Eddie Kal

Keep on! I know life sucks, and I am reminded of that every day

But we have to keep going

AIQ

07:50

@EddieKal Well I guess the election is taken care of ...

I just really want to go back home ...

Eddie Kal

@AIQ You can't?

AIQ

No ...

Not right now ...

Eddie Kal

Visa? or travel restrictions under pandemic?

AIQ

Travel restrictions in my own country, and then very expensive plane fare

Eddie Kal

Tough times

AIQ

07:52

Almost $1600.

I wanted to apply for a US visit visa to go visit my gf ... but Canada ain't processing those ...

for the pandemic ... and she can't come in to Canada either ...

Eddie Kal

Holy cow. Really? How long is the flight?

AIQ

The shortest one is 28 hours ... Most are 44 hours ...

The shorter the flight the more expensive is the fare ...

Eddie Kal

To South Asia? How many legs? If you have to change planes several times it is super tiring

AIQ

I really hope Trudeau sorts things out with Biden

From my region to Calgary to Toronto to Doha to my home ...

Eddie Kal

@AIQ Aren't you close to any major airports in Canada?

AIQ

07:56

Nope ...

Where is M.A.R.?

Eddie Kal

I don't know. He seems to be hanging out in other rooms now

As am I.

I mostly hang out with the Arcade crowd

The Arcade chat room is fun, really fun.

AIQ

Oh nice. So it's about games right?

Eddie Kal

Yeah that's the gaming site. But they have this room called "This is fine" where people talk about politics.

AIQ

Did you start hitting the gym? Or are they still closed in your area?

Eddie Kal

I wouldn't go into a gym in these times. But I really need to work out.

Do you go to the gym often?

I try to work out at home but I can't make a routine out of it. Any effort to get in shape doesn't stick and doesn't last longer than a week.

@EddieKal True - it is almost impossible to maintain a routine at home ...

@EddieKal I do ... We don't have any covid cases in the area, so it is relatively safe here ...

Eddie Kal

@AIQ Zero? None whatsoever? That's crazy.

Our cases are surging and making new records every week

AIQ

I am avoiding going back to my martial arts gym, where you actually have to touch and grab other people, ... I am just going to the weightlifting gym at my university

Eddie Kal

Glad to know you are staying safe. Very important.

Old people in retirement homes are dying at a terrible rate

I feel really sorry for old folks

AIQ

@EddieKal Around 50 active cases in the region but none in my area ...

@EddieKal Canadian government made a statement about releasing vaccines sometime in 2021 ...

Not sure how long that would take to impact the border policy ...

Eddie Kal

08:15

I wouldn't hold my breath. Biden isn't going to make drastic changes.

Also if Trump goes on like this we might face a civil war.

@EddieKal Oh, that's great. I usually do not like to involve myself with politics, partially because I feel I am too young, also because I am not an American citizen. But its great to know that we can discuss non-ELL things as well.

@AIQ Sorry if it feels like I am dropping in out of nowhere. Cases in my region are at an all time high, and increasing linearly. I don't know how government is thinking about opening schools, colleges, and universities. But still a relief to know there aren't as many of them in my area.

@EddieKal My my, that sounds terrible. I can't imagine how you'll Americans are living by these days.
