work from home has been fine for me for the most part though we had a conference call this morning and quickly realized the line didn't have enough lines for people calling in

an average bathtub filled to the brim is about 200 litres, so that's enough for a family of four to survive 2 weeks.

if you want to live at the next level up in that chart, including sponge baths and doing dishes and stuff, you aren't storing that in gallon jugs. you'd be using 5 of those jugs per person per day. not reasonable.

point stands

my parents would buy a couple giant garbage cans at the start of hurricane season and fill those up with water when a hurricane was coming to use as non-drinking water, then just use them as garbage cans for the following year. never had to get in them, thankfully, but it wasn't the worst idea.

hey this is a really good idea

yeah, it doesn't work as well for earthquake prone places where, obviously, you have no warning, but with hurricanes you're pretty aware it's coming in your general direction at least a week before it hits, so you get time to prepare

brothers in apathy, unite

normally my job has to be on site but I managed to find poo poo to do remotely...but I have no idea how long I'll be able to do this. hell, work aside, how long should we all be holed up for?? what the gently caress is safe?

cdc's current recommendation is until the end of april. the end of may is probably more realistic, but we'll see how things work out.

and yeah, i have more work because of this, which i'm actually kind of happy for. i usually don't have a *ton* to do, so it's nice to feel productive most days (though today is not one of those days)

guy on my pool league had a couple of us over and made chili.

he cut up a top round roast and simmered it in the sauce. it was really loving good.

usually i'm a ground meat in chili guy when i cook it, but i'm gonna have to give it a spin of my own.

chili is a stew, and stews should not have quick-cooking meat in them

my union was about to go into arbitration for our contract becuase management wanted to significantly cut back on telework, and i'm *really* interested in seeing what happens coming out of all of this, especially with management making comments about how hard everyone is working

"Long term" here is like more than a year, or maybe more than 6 months on the short side, which is probably going to become a huge problem, but it's still extremely unlikely that people can get reinfected immediately after they've had it.

the eventual vaccine will get rolled into flu vaccines that not enough people get, and it'll stick around forever instead of getting eradicated, but not kill as many people

we had an all-hands meeting today. i didn't expect anything bad, and nothing bad came of it. kind of the opposite, really. they didn't outright say, but heavily implied they'll be taking a conservative approach to bringing us back into the office, and that they've learned a lot about how people work remotely, so hopefully it means they'll stop trying to cut back on our telework like the union was fighting like a week prior to this.

fuckin hated how they shat on jerry. like family guy with meg. it's such low cheap humour

parks and rec was kinda good but not really very funny, despite being a comedy.

they shat on him but also he was the only one who was able to separate work from real life, where he was happily married, working towards retirement, then was loved so much they made him eternal mayor. also he canonically has a huge dick

I never played ff7 and don't have a ps4 but after all the stuff I heard about the remake I assumed it covered the whole original game and lol at the idea that they're splitting it up to milk it for everything it's worth.

i haven't finished it yet, but supposedly ff7r part 1 is 40ish hours if you do everything, which is not a whole lot shorter than ff7. regardless of getting the complete story, that's plenty of gameplay, and i haven't at all felt like any is filler, which i definitely can't say about the original

Are you lot working more or less now? I've dialed it down to a 2 but some of my megacorp breatherin are working weekends and stuff. Weird.

i'm doing more work, but that's because ~the situation of the world~ has given me more work to do. i am not "working" more hours, however, beyond one meeting i had to call in to on a day off that i got comp time for.

the city is stay at home until june 8 at the minimum, so we won't be back in the office until then, for sure, but who knows. management is Very Bad at letting us know things.

we have still not been told about any plans on returning other than they're "working on it" and it will probably be in "phases"

the city is still stay at home until june 8 at the earliest, and the mayor has released a specific plan on how they intend to start reopening and has put together committees in all the business sectors and such, so it remains to be seen when we can even start thinking about it.

they just found asymptomatic carriers don�t appear to transmit the disease since they�re not coughing or sneezing

so unless u happen to have seasonal allergies and are positive yet asymptomatic you aren�t likely to kill someone because u wanted loaded nachos

we had a meeting this morning about returning. we're reopening starting monday (this had already been announced), but they are only allowing up to 10% of staff, and only those who have a specific need to be in the building. which means i will continue to be working from home indefinitely.

back in arkansas, there's this little tiny shithole bedroom town called Johnson. they were competing against Springdale (a fairly good sized town) for a new walmart office complex or distribution center or something

johnson offered a deal to walmart where WM would pay absolutely zero property taxes

the next week the Johnson police department (which was next door to our computer shop) had eight shiny new fully kitted out dodge charger squad cars
the Johnson police department had four officers

lmao

well yeah they are chrysler products, you need at least one parts car for when things start inevitably failing after a year.

they set it up, it takes a picture if you speed by, you get your ticket in the mail a few days later

you don't get points on your license because they don't verify who is actually driving but it's a lot less dangerous overall

we have these all over the place lol

the reason the fried stuff is so good there is mainly just because they put $1700 of peanut oil in their fryers.

that poo poo's really good and lasts a long time, but it is also 20 dollars a gallon

i think they clean the gently caress out of them frequently, and keep everything separated, too. like they only fry fries in the fry fryer. regular chicken is in another fryer and spicy chicken is in yet another fryer.

but anyway they are not very good and popeyes and bojangles are vastly superior

i finally got a popeyes chicken sandwich a couple months ago. i didnt get one at release because i didnt want to be one of those assholes overworking the staff during the explosion

It's alright. i probably wouldn't pay $8.49 for it again. there are local joints that do much better ones at 12 bucks, might as well tier up. might get good fries then.

i finally got one when they came back. i was very unimpressed. i'll stick to spicy tenders there and go across town to a local black-owned spot if i want a chicken sandwich
