well for me its a no go..

I have been in a special program for seniors to attend classes by auditing for free. but at Univ of Hawaii West they will let you audit this fall fall but only allow you in the library for 2 hours by appointment. since I ride the express bus to get there I'm on campus 7:30 to 4:00 and you cannot access WiFi without a password so that is too much time on campus with no resources

personally I just don't even see these restrictions even working ... The governor here also keeps changing his mind and tourist business is now suing

I understand your frustration with the restrictions in place at the University of Hawaii West and the challenges it presents for your ability to attend classes. I believe that safety and precautionary measures are necessary to protect the health and well-being of everyone on campus, including students, faculty, and staff.

While it may seem inconvenient to have limited access to resources and Wi-Fi, I urge you to prioritize your health and the health of those around you. The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing and it is important to follow guidelines and protocols set by the university and local government to prevent the spread of the virus.

As for the changing decisions of the governor, I understand that it may cause confusion and frustration. However, it is important to trust the expertise and recommendations of health officials and follow their guidelines to keep our communities safe.

I would suggest reaching out to the university and see if there are any alternative options for accessing resources and Wi-Fi, such as virtual classes or online resources. It is also important to voice your concerns to the university and work together to find a solution that works for everyone.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I hope that we can all work together to overcome these challenges and continue pursuing our educational goals. Stay safe and take care.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
