- Proper name is Commerson's Dolphin -- nm - TWuG Mar 28, 14:06 1

- Alcohol leads to face-touching. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 14:16 1
  - Just as I was thinking a glass of sherry would be nice - made a pot of tea instead :) -- nm - Meg Mar 28, 14:25
- Lol. - znufrii Mar 28, 14:16
- drinking or using to sanitize? -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 28, 14:00
- WHO cares -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 13:59
- Pffft. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 13:58
The Karate Kid Rewatchables episode is solid. -- (link) - Volnelk Mar 28, 13:42
Thanks for the advice below. That's why I posted it. Many opinions is better than just two. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 13:33 6
- Yeah I hadn’t thought of it like that and I’ve been persuaded to go to the groceries alone - JackDawson Mar 28, 14:37
- Also. wife has storage bins in her trunk to keep things from sliding around. We put those in the carts so our fresh foods didn't come in contact with - Bacon Mar 28, 13:48
- Stay safe out there! -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 13:35
- if you have a set list of items, does the store deliver, so nobody goes? -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 28, 13:35 2
  - Yeah I saw this posted below. We need to think about this for the future. 35% of our stuff though is meat and produce, and never been a big fan of - Bacon Mar 28, 13:38 1
    - I get meat delivered from Fresh Direct and 95% of the time I'm very happy with what I get. I'm picky about fruit as well but for the time -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 28, 13:44
I spent hours at the shelter trying to win over two cats that are skittish of people. -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 13:33 15
- They need you, Dan. -- nm - David Mar 28, 14:08 3
  - I don’t know about getting both because that would bring me to 4, but they also seemed to bond in their wariness of me. -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 14:14 2
    - Four's fantastic! -- nm - David Mar 28, 14:28 1
      - Twice as good as two! -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 14:29
- Both are beautiful! -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 13:45 8
  - So pretty! -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 28, 14:02
  - Yes, I love them both -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 13:50
  - They just both don’t seem to be fans of people. -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 13:50 5
    - How old are they? Any chance they would warm up after a couple of weeks of being fed and given treats by you? -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 13:56 4
      - Our two cats were kittens of feral moms. They eventually warmed up to us. One took about a week the other about 3 weeks. - Bacon Mar 28, 13:58 3
        
        Yeah, it can take some time but I think they'll warm up eventually. It took a couple of months for my cat Callie to come looking for attention. - Krusty Mar 28, 14:13 2
        
        Our Callie is a lap cat, but only for me. She won't sit on the wife's lap. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 14:14 1
        
        Awww. Sorry for your wife though -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 14:20

We're trying our first Whole Foods delivery. We only ordered five things. Should be interesting to see what shows up. -- nm - David Mar 28, 12:46 4
- Do you get any benefit from being an Amazon Prime member? Some kind of bonus or discount? -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 14:00
- Looking at Walmart. They have a 2:00 pm pickup time available tomorrow but $30 minimum. All I really need is milk and allergy pills. -- nm - Meg Mar 28, 13:57
- Tell me one of the five items was a key lime tart. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 28, 13:02
- Whole Foods nearby, haven't tried yet. Would be interested in results. -- nm - budice Mar 28, 13:01

This really gets to another level about halfway through. -- (link) - Reagen Mar 28, 12:27 1
- candle flame on yarn is standard but the candle moving with the butter is clever. -- nm - Max Mar 28, 12:32
Shamelessly stolen from the FB concert group that I'm part of -- (pic) - JD Mar 28, 12:24 [Attachment] 10
- $40. Of course. -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 13:56
- did you also get the valet parking? -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 28, 13:00
- going to steal that. -- nm - Remlik Mar 28, 12:54 1
  - Yeah, no way I am buying one. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:56
- Ticketmaster :( -- nm - budice Mar 28, 12:46
- fucking hell, the service fees on that. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 12:37 3
  - Your comment made think enough to check...real life service fees are worse 😠 -- (pic) - JD Mar 28, 12:48 [Attachment]
  - That's pretty much what we're doing with take out dinners and tipping well to eat like leftovers -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 28, 12:44
  - Accurate though ☹️ - JD Mar 28, 12:38
- Perfect -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 28, 12:36
So a trip to the store, we had discussion on which is better. One person going or two people going. We decided two people was better - Bacon Mar 28, 12:21 41
- Dashing through the store means exerting more, breathing deeper and let's face it, few people get wa hat six feet is -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 28, 14:28
- Only one of you needs to go ever, not just now. Stop bringing everyone to the store! -- nm - Qale Mar 28, 14:13
- One is better. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 12:44
- less people in store = more distancing -- nm - ty97 Mar 28, 12:27 11
  - Not that I speak for him, but I think Qale has said this as well -- nm - ty97 Mar 28, 12:32
  - Right. It crowds the aisles just a bit more -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 12:28
  - (it's not just about the two of you) -- nm - ty97 Mar 28, 12:27 8
    - Exactly. When I went I skipped rows with people and then double backed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:29 7
      - yep -- nm - mud Mar 28, 12:56
      - We always do two carts and go our own ways, meet back in the car. We spend our own moneys on our own groceries. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 12:30 5
        
        So one goes in while the other waits in the car. Then you switch. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 12:32 4
        
        But you'd be better off if just one went with both lists and both cards/monies. Clean everything, wear a mask, etc. - Krusty Mar 28, 12:37 3
        
        "Everybody be cool, this is a shopping trip!" -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 12:38 2
        
        "Any of you ****ing pricks get within 6 feet of me, I'll execute every mother****ing last one of ya!" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 14:14 1
        
        there it is. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 14:38
- We're being asked to go one at a time to limit the people that can be exposed or spread it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 12:27
- I got a grocery order delivered this morning, I tipped pretty outrageously because it was huge... I ordered *all the things* expecting that half - Andie Mar 28, 12:26 1
  - nice -- nm - mud Mar 28, 12:55
- Our logic is simpler. If one of us gets it, the other's getting it anyway. - David Mar 28, 12:25 10
  - I am living in our spare room, I only come out to use the bathroom, and then wipe everything down. If we both got really sick there wouldn't -- (edited) - Andie Mar 28, 12:28 8
    - You all make some really good points. We will follow this advice from now on. -- nm - David Mar 28, 12:44 1
      - Even little things- if you are both bed ridden, who feeds the cats? Etc. -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 12:46
    - *hugs* -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:30
    - :-( Smart but I'm sorry you're going through this -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 12:29 4
      - honestly, I hope this IS it, I just want to be able to be tested for antibodies. if I am a mild case, and I find out I am immune (I know that's not - Andie Mar 28, 12:30 3
        
        Fingers crossed you get the test and it's what you want. Get well soon! -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 12:33 2
        
        oh, I am not getting tested at this point. it will be a while before they test people who are possibly through it, I expect. -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 12:35 1
        
        Good point. They're not testing anyone here that isn't showing more serious symptoms and I guess it's the same for you. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 12:36
  - If one of you has it, the other can take care of them though. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:26
- That is... poor logic though. You are doubling the chances of one of you getting it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:22 11
  - Either one person in the store for 20 minutes or two for 10 minutes. Her list and my list are very different, so different parts of the store. Each - Bacon Mar 28, 12:24 10
    - The problem is entry, checkout and exit. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:25 9
      - Last time I went to Trader Joes they were handling that as well as they could IMO - JD Mar 28, 12:31 1
        
        We had squares on the ground to limit distance. You didn't advance until the person in front of you left. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 13:32
      - What if the infected person comes in at minute 15 and we are out already because we were in only 10 minutes. Like I said, we could be wrong I admit t -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 12:25 6
        
        Being in and out faster exposes us to less people. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 12:26 5
        
        Since you're in different parts of the store, you're exposed to more people overall. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 12:47
        
        it exposes others to 2 of you instead of one. -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 12:32 1
        
        This is true. Something we didn't think abo7ut -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 13:31
        
        Unless you halve your time in the store, you've increased exposure-man-hours. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 12:29
        
        But twice the exposure. And what if your excelerated shopping rate catches you up to an infected? -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 12:28
Some tests are taking as long as 12 days to get back which is both a) useless and b) dangerous -- (link) - Reagen Mar 28, 12:15 4
- And still, 656,000 cases. - Spawn Mar 28, 12:21 1
  - If not more. What we'll see after the fact is a bunch of people downplaying the numbers. - David Mar 28, 12:24
- Sure, but if you’ve taken a test and haven’t self isolated, you’re the asshole. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 28, 12:20 1
  - And get doughy? -- nm - Rand Paul Mar 28, 12:26
This is superb. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 28, 12:08 1
- And img attached for those who can't load twitter -- (pic) - Beryllium Mar 28, 12:09 [Attachment]

- and they closed them again fearing a 2nd wave of infections -- (link) - Remlik Mar 28, 11:44 2
  - Yup. Disney had hoped to re-release Avatar and the Four Avengers movies. That idea died screaming. -- nm - David Mar 28, 11:57
  - Because that average of .5 people per theater would infect the zero people sitting next to them. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 11:45
