my folks live in southern Indiana and are friendly with shop owners and all that. apparently the Korean woman who runs a restaurant they like had somebody look at her and literally run away in Home Depot.

I'm about to go home from work for the last time for at least a month the last time I had to wfh for an extended period it was because of a terrible natural disaster, so this is actually somewhat less disruptive

fart simpson posted:this is also a natural disaster, op. the idea floating around that its an escaped engineered bioweapon is probably not true. my brain is fried so sorry if I'm missing the joke here: "natural disaster" generally refers to weather and motions of the earth, not viruses and bacteria and prions and poo poo like that

Base Emitter posted:yep. wouldn't mind having my commute back though - i walk to work and i'm missing the activity. and i think even though its a hopelessly unphysical office job i move around at the office a lot more than i do at home too. started using the long-neglected exercise bike and its helping. you're allowed to go for a walk outside

anybody who was telling your fiancé it was cool to go to London is either stupid or ignorant, straight up. but the covid-economic-disaster talk is currently about the same level as nbsd's Tylenol rant as far as hyperbole goes. it'll be real bad for some people, but this is not the end of the (economic) world

little jones's preschool finally did the right thing and sent out a "keep your kids home unless you're a critical worker and need it" email and let people stop paying for tuition while they keep kids at home that'll offset the pay cut from RSU comp being in the toilet

they are  I know that Hawaii hasn't really been hit by outbreaks, but they're older and while they're not in terrible shape, they're still midwesterners in their 60s so I worry. they've been home a week now; I think 5 days is median for symptoms showing so they're probably ok

all my guns are childhood gifts from my very-much-a-gun-enthusiast dad, and so they live at my folks place 1500 miles away. it's great because I don't have to deal with having them in my apartment, plus i get to feel superior to other gun owners both because I don't have any guns in my house _and_ because I have more (and cooler) guns than they do. when the last part isn't true I fall back to the first, I can't lose!

I make sure to shower and put on not-pajamas. Usually that's normal work clothes, but sometimes it ends up gym shorts (or sweatpants) i haven't put product in my hair in so long, though

The rest are $1,700 cowboy cosplay poo poo. what, no, this isnt true. a marlin 1895 .45-70 is like $650 all day long and they're among the best. like yeah cowboy cosplay exists but you can also just order the gun that they're cosplaying as that is still made and is great

what you say describes my experience with animal corpses; I'm curious if there's a specifically "human" odor or if it's 'just' "general death, but 150lbs of it"

how to make good tandoori: 1. marinate in yoghurt+spice mix 2. part out and skewer (or cut up if you're putting it in tikka masala fter) 3. cook on high works real nice

tandoori absolutely does not have to be hot. it has to be spicy (that is, fairly strongly flavored with spice) but you don't need to go HAM with the cayenne it's better when you do though
