All the models say outside of NY we're far from the peak. IMO these problems are the result of one size fits all federal guidance, but that may have been the only politically viable strategy.

This is the untold side of the economics of the shutdown. Some industries are seeing 2-4 fold increased revenue. People like to make fun of it by picking silly examples of industries seeing this effect (e.g pot stores) but let's face it, most of the shutdown horror stories are from unimportant...

no

This idea keeps getting floated. I dont see support for it. Yes, a recession will kill far fewer people than a bad viral outbreak, at least in the US. Our poor people have more problems with obesity than starvation. A recession will suck financially, but it won't kill anywhere near the...

I was being sarcastic, but you're the second person to comment so that must not have been clear. I meant the opposite.

I dont know why theyre doing all that. I've been assured by internet experts that just about any kind of loose fabric worn in the general head area protects you from the virus. Medical people are such fearmongers.

I wish it was only stupid frat boys. I found out yesterday my family, including both 70-yr old parents one of whom is fighting cancer and has had pneumonia multiple times, are its just a fluers. They read somewhere on the internet this was just a flu and the liberal media is hyping it to take...

Leave it to WA to wait to be peer pressured into doing anything about anything. Not like they were one of the first points of US infection or anything, lets wait and see!

Which reminds me of my never ending jimmy rustle - assholes who use speakerphone. Its like they saw it on TV once and decided it was an acceptable way to interact with their phone. It should be codified in law much the way as stand your ground laws in some states. "Oh, the person you killed...

That must be nice living in states where grocery stores still give you motherfucking bags.

Exactly the same thing has happened in Universities with exactly the same effect on costs. Administrators are cancer.

But while we're doing web based jimmy rustles Web pages that change the focus on loading so that when you click page down, page up, or backspace, it does nothing. WTF, am I expected to click and drag the scroll bar? If I want to select that field I will click it, thank you very much, now give...

WTF, is this 1995? Fuck links that open in a new tab or window. Thats what right click is for. Why would I want a billion tabs open? Rustled.

Hagglers period. The price was listed. Is this a goddam third world country? Are we squatting in the dirt arguing with natives over the price of bush meat? No? Then fucking pay the listed price and shut up. A lot of the things that enrage me, I look at my reaction and go "that was maybe a...

I dunno, I've had some of the Starbucks instant and a bunch of different kinds in Australia (Australians often tried to convince me it was an acceptable choice). I can't put my finger on why, but they all just taste fake. Better than nothing, and I'd drink it if there is no real coffee available...

If surviving the apocalypse means I have to drink instant coffee, I'm out.

Moved twice cross country with PODS, much cheaper than Uhaul. I think it depends a lot on distance. Short moves I think truck is always cheapest.

You'll also be shocked to hear that many black women have curly hair WTF is it 2008 in here?

Every child hates onions. I have never understood why. Onions are great, raw, cooked, whatever. And an absolutely essential part of cooking. Cooking without onions is like cooking without salt. Or butter. If my kids know something has onions in it they're all "ewww onions make me some without...

Yeah, I think people forget what grocery stores used to be like. Especially in a small town. Likewise haven't seen it since childhood, I always assumed it was an old-school poor people thing rather than a deliberate decision.

Thing is, theres dark chocolate and then theres pure fucking cacao that is disgusting. Whiskey makers don't advertise "OMG my brand has more alcohol, buy it". Coffee makers don't advertise "OMG more caffeine, buy it". But for some reason chocolate makers think 86% cacao is a selling point...

I feel like you're trying to set up a punchline here but I'm not sure what it is.

Ha, fair point! I stand corrected. Still rare but not zero.

Yeah, agreed. But it'd be 100x better if they just did the obvious thing directors have done for decades -- text on the screen. "Five years ago". Its like they've all decided they're gonna do it some artsy subtle way and it always fails. I can't think of a single split timeline movie or show...

I'm mostly really enjoying this. Never played it or read the books so I spend most of the time a little confused. Time jumps without "5 years later" text can Fuck Off. Gerald is great. I'm confused about Yennifer, they write her as if she's supposed to be hot post hunchback but cast her...

I dunno, I've had about 6 and only one of them has ever needed work again. Most of the time IME they are the final solution to problems with a particular tooth. I appreciate that about them.

Yeah, this is my biggest password complaint. Half the sites that require passwords I would literally be perfectly OK with no password whatsoever. It just doesnt fucking matter so much of the time.

I know people my age that still can't handle passwords. I think it's a specific mental deficiency, not age.

I swear that either there's been an arms war in headlight brightness or people have started installing the wrong bulbs in their headlights. Because lately every time I drive at night I swear half the cars I encounter are driving around with their fucking brights on. So I do what any normal...

Fucking hagglers, I share this jimmy rustle. I've come to learn that when someone tries to talk me down from the asking price theyre gonna be a pain in the ass the whole transaction, so I just say its sold.

Forgive me for being unclear What I meant was, all this crap on YouTube videos.

After all the city loving in this thread the only things that I miss even a little are the restaurants and having a diversity of high speed internet options. I don't have to drive more than 20-30 minutes to get to the full range of normal stores, which is a shorter drive than in most cities I've...

I want to believe, and find it interesting regardless of truth (of course it's probably not, but still) I just can't get past the immutable law of literate societies that anything worth knowing will be written down.

WTF, cranberry sauce is awesome. Even foreigners who don't know Thanksgiving food have loved it IME. Why do you hate sweet tangy deliciousness?

Ive only had brisket in TX. Ergo I've only had amazing, melt on your mouth, falls apart when you look at it delicious brisket Like my turkey

Now that its expanded to "what do you like about city vs suburbs etc" Every city smells fucking terrible. Just not fit for humans to breathe. In NYC it was predominantly the smell of piss. In LA it was exhaust and garbage. Where I live, the air smells like air with an occasional whiff of tree...

IMO a town with population 600 (where I live) is a pretty different category than 10k, needs a <1k option! The 2 mile radius rule is funny in my case... I dunno, probably well under 100.

My turkey was awesome. Slow roasted, just the basics. As tender and juicy as brisket. I'm convinced somebody's cooking turkey wrong if they don't like turkey, cause every year I go damn, why do we only eat this once a year?

Yes, and if its content worth finding it'll be in a written form.

Ya know, whenever I criticize Facebook someone brings up a legitimate and normal use for the platform. None of which changes the fact that Facebook has been a net negative, a cancer on society. So is YouTube. We are rapidly approaching a post-literate phase of Western society, and YouTube bears...
