Gul Dukat Twitter still amusing. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 15:03
If the prez would stop making us shit our pants, the TP wars would end. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 14:58
URGENT ALERT- - JackDawson Mar 14, 14:54 4
- Just listened to the Rewatchables about it. Very interesting. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 14, 14:55 3
  - Can't remember it. Now your teases are making me want to see it. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 15:06 2
    - They just did it this week in reaction to all this. Very different. No categories. -- (link) - Volnelk Mar 14, 15:08
    - TL;DW: Slutty Gwenyth will doom us all. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 15:08
If I'm calculating my toilet paper right, I probably have enough for 2-3 months. I'm staying out of that aisle. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 14:48 5
- About a week's worth. Plus newspaper subscription. Assuming idiots don't start stealing it. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 14:50 4
  - A week? Hmm, maybe I'm counting wrong. I have two 12-packs of the "BIG" rolls. I figure maybe 1 roll/week per bathroom (2 bathrooms). 12 weeks. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 14:53 1
    - 6 rolls. 3 baths. Two teenage boys. Probably a little more than a week. But I will start do random stops to try and get some. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 14:56
  - While I was out walking I got something stuck to my shoe. First thought "Thank God it's not toilet paper - I could get mugged!" ;/ -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 14:52 1
    - I just went and checked on my maple trees' buds. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 14:53
OK, I guess I'll do my taxes. My fed refund is about 10% less than last year even though I didn't change anything. So... Trump? -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 14:47 5
- Adjusted tax brackets and withholding rates, probably? -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 14:58 2
  - Figured it out. It's the child care expense deduction. As the kids get older, less child care, less expense, less deduction. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 15:01 1
    - Ah, yeah. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 15:03
- On the up side, I'm getting a thousand dollar kicker from the state! Woo! -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 14:49
- Nope. It's all those Obama era Deep State taxes Trump missed or the Dems refused to negotiate on. -- nm - VMan Mar 14, 14:49

how are you guys in NY and other metro polises commuting, take an empty subway car? hahahahaha walking 10m? ubering? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 14:02 5
- I've been taking the train like usual. They're much more empty than normal. I don't drive so I walk a lot and recently bought a bike for both fun - Krusty Mar 14, 14:38
- There seem to be a lot of people working from home now (people in jobs that can, at least). Grocery stores were PACKED at 11am on Friday -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 14:16
- Working from home. The MTA has seen a drop in subway and bus usage and Citibike has seen a marked increase in usage. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 14:13
- Hoverboard? Segway? E-bike/scooter/skateboard? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 14:03
- A mix. Cabs and waiting for emptier trains and buses -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 14:03
Maybe today is not the right day to go cut my hair. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 13:52 2

Booze sales rise each time President Trump speaks -- (link) - budice Mar 14, 13:38 11
- uh, question: is there ever a period of time the Donald hasn't spoken/tweeted or otherwise communicated long enough to see if sales drop? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 16:07
- Is there any polling yet on Trump's approval rating in the wake of the pandemic? -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 13:46 8
  - He's dipped about 2 points net but there hasn't been a ton of polling overall. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 14:07 2
    - Yeah, I suspect that pollsters were the first to send employees home. Trump's been static at -10.8/-10.9 for 8 days now. -- (edited) - David Mar 14, 14:17 1
      - we may get a big wave on Monday since there are some pretty crucial states voting on Tuesday - Reagen Mar 14, 14:24
  - I use the WSJ Editorial Board as my anecdotal guide of what his disciples believe — Wednesday was bad but he shows his brilliance yesterday -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:47 4
    - Trump could stick a bottle rocket up his ass, shoot himself into the air, and explode in a million sparkles, and he'd still never be brilliant. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 13:49 3
      - I ask again— have you come out yet?? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:54 2
        
        It's really flattering that you keep asking, but I'm more of a ty97 guy. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 14:23
        
        He's already told a few of us in private that he's indeed Canadian. I guess I just outed him now though -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 13:57
- Now that’s a stock market investing strategy I can get behind -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:39
Your new head coach of Iona is...Rick Pitino. -- nm - David Mar 14, 13:29 3
- that seems like a step back. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 13:34 2
  - It's literally this or the Greek league for him after the double Louisville scandals. -- nm - David Mar 14, 14:47 1
    - I meant for Iona. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 14:54

      - You shall not pass! -- nm - Gandalf Mar 14, 13:20
At risk of Dawson rolling his eyes, I'm no pandemic expert so I share this thread for your consideration: this is THE week to social distance -- (link) - ty97 Mar 14, 13:09 18
- Also re-reading these— those social isolation “groups” sound like orgies -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 14:21
- it's more that at some point the anxiety and craziness people are driving themselves into are going to hurt them just as much - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:16 9
  - I dunno, everything I read says to socially distance as much as possible right now and you are go out to restaurants and bars. - ty97 Mar 14, 13:21 7
    - The bars and restaurants have imposed social distancing measures as far as I can tel - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:25 6
      - Ahh pictures I saw from UWS last night showed packed restaurants with no distancing -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 13:27 5
        
        It would be foolish to go into a packed anything right now. That said, if you pick certain non peak hours like the other article you linked advised, i - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:36 2
        
        On the occasions I've needed to get things done, if a bus is too full I've just waited for another one. - ty97 Mar 14, 13:46 1

        It’s on hold but hopefully we find out this week and it would be around April 1-15 if things go to plan -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:34
  - How about something slightly different? -- (link) - JackDawson Mar 14, 13:19
- Good thing we find out at the end of the week. -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 14, 13:12 5
  - The thread means the week starting now, she clarifies later. Poor phrasing -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 13:13 3
    - No takebacks. I'm spending next week with as many people as possible. -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 14, 13:16 2
      - There's no bet! Stop trying to win the bet! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 13:17 1

Andrew Gillum was apparently found drunk in a motel room with a meth-overdosing male escort, which sounds like excellent timing to have a scandal. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 12:48 3
- I’m surprised there wasn’t a rush of scandalous admissions on Friday -- nm - Dano Mar 14, 13:22
- *still* had a better week than DeSantis -- nm - David Mar 14, 12:56

Walk to the liquor store just to get outside? Yes, right? I also need yogurt. Should I brave the grocery store? -- nm - amanda Mar 14, 12:34 6
- Exactly - not about to go to the market if it's anything like yesterday, but I do need a couple of things from Office Depot. -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 12:46

  - "Just leave it out back." -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 12:44
  - You put several liquor store owner's kids through college. They should be bringing your booze to your doorstep. -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 12:39 2

- Chances are I've already given up sex forever I just don't know it so... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 14, 12:28
- Mute -- nm - JD Mar 14, 12:20 4
