Anyway, stay safe everyone.

logistics... dunno where but supply chains need to keep strong

i’ve been ordering stuff from amazon and it’s taking a little longer but it’s been getting here.

food is moving, products are moving

don’t use actual mustard

alternative, buy a wudu (wudhu?) bottle. aka handheld bidet.

alternatively, you’re familiar with this

The only thing I stocked up on was weed. If shit really hits the fan and I need to get food, my family owns a restaurant supply warehouse...so....like....yeah.

I honestly think they’re expecting to be hit hard once things start moving again, but still terrifying when I see this shit move. Luckily big accounts are Walmart/costco, Ikeas, and a tire account from SE Asia....so shits moving but yeah.

well, there’s a recession or depression on the way, it’s inevitable because we’re supposed to be paralyzed for 2-3 months and then resume

a lot of people will go bankrupt

and things WILL slow down, but

costco and walmart are safe bets. when money is low, people will shop cheap (walmart) or in bulk (costco).

do your best work and be valuable to your bosses. they’re buying (labor) from you. make your offer desirable.

if you’re in the luxury business OTOH... it might be a problem

My school's announced that from Thursday we're staggering lunchtimes. My lunch time was previously 12:45 to 1:35, now it'll be 11:55 to 12:45 for everyone in years 10-12.

Only thing I'm still waiting on from Amazon is a copy of "Green Eyes" which I saw mentioned int Goodbye 20th Century, and that's not even being shipped by Amazon. Beyond that, I don't rely on them for daily goods.

Time to go for the 3 seashells option

My university has stopped all face-to-face teaching from Tomorrow. This is independent of any broader measures the government is likely to bring in that closes them down altogether.

are you still on strike or has that been rendered more or less moot at this point?

We've limited the maximum speed on motorways from 120/130kmh to 100kmh.

Also, coffeeshops are reopened again, to avoid illegal street dealers to profit they are allowed to do the same as restaurants and open a takeaway window.

im guessing you must be pretty good with the jump rope though

just put a nice soundtrack on and go at it

One odd thing my old city (Beaumont) has done......they closed the city tennis complex, but are leaving the public golf course open. The distance between two tennis players on a court is far greater than two golfers riding in a golf cart.

Genteel Death · 03.17.2020, 08:53 AM

The theatre I work for is closed to the public from today. I'm at work today and then off until further notice. The aim is to re-open after the 14th of April, but that's very unlikely to happen.

Yeah they've closed the climbing wall here but not the gym which just makes zero sense.

hard to keep hammering at it, though. The gym I was going to has a ton of really nice equipment, all brand new. Yeah, I've always got something on the headphones. One of my favorite hard go workout tracks:

builds great, then McLaughlin kicks in for the extra speed

I'm on a full time contract, so safe for the time being. A big chunk of my colleagues are actors and on casual contracts, though, which means that if some emergency plan is not put in place soon, they are fucked.
