I'm reading an e-mail from my country's equivalent of an HMO:


"Self-care measures:

[...]

- Extremely avoid greeting others with handshakes, hugs or kisses"


It took ages and a zombie apocalypse, but finally the world realizes I've been right all along.

Here's a graph of the amount of infected people per city in my province Brabant. Eindhoven where I live is still relatively OK even though it's a large city. Breda and Tilburg are quite bad. You can click on a line to filter, but it's a bit tricky to select some due to overlaps.
Still no TP at the supermarket if anyone can give (a link to) an explanation for the 3 shells option, I'm willing to give it a try ;-)

Something that I should have done ages ago, but now really handy: I bought a tiny freezer (30liter) so I can freeze bread and meat. And icecream!

I’m catching up on a bunch of reading, Nation and Harpers mags, then maybe onto the monster stacks of books I’ve amassed thru Xmas, birthdays, book sales, etc...got a great comfy chair out in the back 40, in the sun, birds serenading me.

My question, anyone (US) have plans for their Mitt bux?

Running out of fresh veg already. But we have tree collards outside, had some for dinner last night with homemade green sauce, scrummy! Our local party is getting some folks to do shopping runs for others...not sure if I’ll do that yet, but sure not ready to do store runs again in a hurry. Cat fud supply is EXCELLENT!

Who all (US) has plans for their Mitt bucks? You can look on it as a way to spend your taxes yourself, rather than funding Israel or golf outings!

tw2113 03.18.2020 11:48 AM

Rob Instigator 03.18.2020 12:22 PM

i'm investing my mittbux/trumpobux in a cache of the stickiest icky and the most concentrated dab I can find.......

Rob Instigator 03.18.2020 12:24 PM

actually, best thing to do is likely take that money, wait until VISA stock bottoms out (any day now. It has dropped from 220/share to 141/share in like a week.), and buy as much VISA stock as you can. You wil probably double your investment by the winter....

Well... things are going disastrous in my country with this fucking virus, I hope you and your loved ones are OK, greetings from the sad/sunny Spain.

we haven’t yet seen the full effects of this and $2000 per person won’t bootstrap the economy just like dubya’s stimulus check or whatever that was called.

only possible solution would be something like andrew yang’s plan

Schools are shutting here in sunny England. Buckle up, buckaroos it's gonna get bumpy.

it took a plague to make me eat tofu again. i bought a box, i don’t know, 2 months ago? and was looking at it, and looking at it, but nothing, until today

finally ate it, in a stir fry, it was tasty cuz i hid the soy flavor the best i could (red peppers, shallots, coconut oil soy sauce, etc... forgot the bacon! tomorrow, with the other block)

that works with a big amount, but if you’re getting $1k, doubling that gets you another $1k and that’s it, whereas if you can get gear that can save you $200 a month, that’s $2400 year in, year out, for the rest of your life, plus tax free cuz “not spending” isn’t taxed (yet, lol)
