  1. Noticed that too. I usually get high fiber/high protein bread that was almost always discounted a couple bucks (from $4.99/5.99 to $2.50) but now they aren't even stocking it and all the bread except generic is $3.99 or up. Sad (?) part is that I tried hitting up the Entenmann's Bakery outlet and the sign out front said they were closed until further notice because no one was sending them any supplies anymore. Guess everything is selling, which is good for them but sucks for me b/c they usually had deals on all their baked goods from bread to donuts along the lines of 3 packages of anything for $4.
  2. Spoke to my sister in Austin who said, "well, we bought a thermometer and masks for when people ACTUALLY start getting sick." She is the type that usually turns off the news when it gets too depressing. But it did make me think about the number of people I knew who were sick. My family is all back in Texas but the gf's friends and family all live here in the tri-state area. Following are all people I have met and are my friends or she has personally met that are either part of her extended family or close friends of her family: -2 confirmed dead due to Covid, 1 other that we were told was dead and assuming for same reason but couldn't confirm the cause. The two confirmed were elderly. -14 with multiple symptoms that fit Covid but only 4 were allowed to be tested. Three of those four were positive and the fourth was told his test was faulty but to assume he had it. Everyone else denied testing and told to stay home and assume they had it. -Of those 14, almost all are parents and their housing situation extends to about 25-30 more people that are mostly kids so while not assuming the kids have it, odds are some did/do and luckily have very minor symptoms. Stay safe Austin
  3. Thats partly because Guayaquil went idiot just like florida did. They had to block all expressways in and out of the city, and institute a 4pm curfew cause the first week of recommended SiP the dumbasses went partying and gave zero fucks. They played stupid games....
  4. on the off chance you're serious, pretty sure it's from Watchmen
  5. your god turd thinks windmills cause cancer. you never have the right to call anyone out on any unintentional speaking mistake. jfc, fucking trumptards.
  6. Always wanted to make my own bread. Does one need any special equipment more than a bread pan for baking? Thermometer? Special pan/dutch oven? Special oven?
  7. gym. drinking. i'm exposed to too many vectors in my current living situation so figured no drinking until at least SiP is lifted. Haven't had a drop since 3/7
  8. Short term yes on this one but think nyc was a pilot market for these types of companies and after a few months, almost everyone cancels. They're not bad, and do help novice cooks but humans are either too lazy or too smart; they either just go back to eating out or get into cooking/realize it's cheaper to do your own shopping. Maybe fear of infection keeps them afloat longer but in the long run no one uses them forever, least not anyone I know.
  9. it'd make my grocery runs safer, thats for sure. Alas, i'm walking the pup 1-2 hours a day, making grocery runs, or walking in the park/running alone on a track or the streets. I don't interact with people in public but i'm sure as hell not staying inside 24/7 for weeks at a time. I can't, the pup won't let me. Whats the best image hosting site for surly? Should be in the 40s-50s so there should be people out all over. Maybe because Queens is more residential, and while no one is congregating, the streets sure as hell don't look desolate by any means. Fewer people sure, but not even close to empty.
  10. same. letting the pervert 'stache grow and no haircuts. fuck it, its corona and i'm at home 22.5 hrs a day. i ain't trying to dress up for anyone.
  11. i'm all for wearing a mask but my sewing skills are shit, not sure I have a needle anyway, and sure as hell can't buy any now since everywhere is sold out. So what are my options?
  12. actually the last two got a chuckle out of me. Low, low, looooooow bar with EMAW but still
  13. go fuck yourself. i was just commenting on what i saw on the streets you fucking liar.
  14. Eh, I Don’t know about manhattan but still a lot of stuff open in queens. Or at least a lot of people out in the streets. For Queens or at least ASTORIA/LIC it is restaurants/diners: opened every regular day with reduced hours but generally open for takeout/delivery till 8ish. Grocery stores: opened every day but earlier with reduced hours but generally till 8ish. laundry: opened every day with reduced hours but again generally till 8ish. bodegas: either opened every day like normal Or reduced hours. Couple still 24/7 like nothing has changed but they are practically restaurants anyway. Bars: closed unless restaurants. parks: every day wide fucking open. clothing: closed. Beauty stores/salons: closed. Food trucks: lots are gone since the bars shut down late night maybe bc there are so many eateries here but there is still a shit ton of movement going in queens. I get it though, people need to get fresh air, I’m fine with that. But when fucking Cold Stone Creamery is open until 8pm everyday, still feels like restrictions could be a little tighter. Not that I support that but just saying.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    No clue how long this will last but I'm really not trying to invest $300+ into weights that I'll hopefully only be using temporarily. Searched online and weights were either prohibitively expensive or said 1-2 months for delivery. F that. So doing the kettlebell route. I know they're good just never got around to using them at the gym or home. Recs for good online vids or sites? Limited research says start with one, most men can start at 35lbs and just go from there, so going that route. Thanks in advance.
  16. Cuomo on, talking about minimizing apex and stockpile of supplies. Damn, need 30 million surgical masks... that seems like a lot. Back to talking to bed availability.
  17. Why would poor cause more cases? Aren’t the rich ski resorts and cruises also hot spots?

    More like a fast waddle, but yeah.
  19. Is this just political talk? Or updates too? Just got text Boris Johnson has it Link
  20. Very similar situation to 4 people I know here in queens. No doc will test them, told to just quarantine and wait it out. Hopefully the antibody test actually comes through Some day. Related question, any hard facts on how long one is contagious after recovering?
