I've reached the "Fuck it I'm having Mac & Cheese for dinner" point. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 31, 15:58 8
- Salmon and shrimp provencale with saffron toast. Thank goodness Blue Apron is still delivering. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 16:06
- You shame Taco Tuesday -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 16:03
- Oh, I did that last week. But tonight is grilled cheese. - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 16:02
- Baked salmon with roasted potatoes and asparagus. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 16:02
- My dinner: Half a sack of nacho Doritos. Yep, I'm a college junior. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 31, 16:01 2
  - Nice. I had ghetto nachos the other night for dinner. Shredded cheese over tortilla chips and then microwaved -- nm - JD Mar 31, 16:03 1
    - NICE!! I hope it was pre-shredded cheese. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 31, 16:03
- PASTA! -- nm - JD Mar 31, 16:01
he seems amazed that he can tell a general to do something and it gets done....I don't think he has much experience with competence -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:58
Woman, 90, dies from coronavirus in Belgium after refusing a ventilator and telling doctors: 'I had a good life, keep this for the younger' -- (link) - ty97 Mar 31, 15:57 8
- geez -- nm - prayformojo Mar 31, 16:02
- mom and I talked, she knows she's not a good candidate, esp if they triage, we might not even go in.... -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 16:01 2
  - I'm sorry, it's so hard. My dad has said the same. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 16:07
  - I'm so sorry. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 16:05
- My first thought, Belgium must be doing good. In Italy, a 90 year old would not be offered a ventilator. Triage. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:59 2
  - its getting worse, typically you're on it for 2 weeks, now if you don't show signs of improvement, they pull you off in a week, sorry you had a shot -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 16:02 1
    - from what I read it's less than that, but in any case, it's still horrible. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 16:04
- Dear god. -- nm - Andie Mar 31, 15:59
Jax News: singer songwriter Lindsay Lohan returns with new music.... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 31, 15:57 1
- ooh a new singer songwriter! does she come from the Joni Mitchell tradition? -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:58
Huh, this is a good point I think -- (link) - ty97 Mar 31, 15:54 3
- as someone's child (here?) said...at least there's no school shootings -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 16:04
- It is. The emotional toll is very similar for me. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 15:59
- huh -- nm - prayformojo Mar 31, 15:57
Abominable was.....kind of terrific. The animation and coloring were outstanding. Some geniunely funny bits and lots of heart -- nm - prayformojo Mar 31, 15:52 1
- Yes! -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 16:07
POTUS blaming NY cases on NY getting a 'late start' - ty97 Mar 31, 15:50 14
- Remember, he is not responsible, according to him. -- nm - . Mar 31, 16:10
- Of course he is an idiot and hypocrite, but I do think NY (particularly NYC) got a late start. Di Blasio was not so impressive I thought. -- nm - pmb Mar 31, 15:58 6
  - This is mostly state controlled. BdB was reticent to close schools, but everything else has really come from Albany -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 15:59 5
    - He didn't have to wait. The city can take action on its own. Chicago was out ahead of the rest of the state here (only by a day or 2, but it was). - pmb Mar 31, 16:04
    - I understand why he didn't want to close public schools, so many kids only eat at school. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 16:00 3
      - In LA they have drive through grab and go for parents to get food for their kids/family. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 16:12
      - I do too, but for comparison, Chicago set up a system to keep the food availability for all of the kids even though the schools closed. - pmb Mar 31, 16:06 1
        
        Which is the only reason the schools didn't close earlier. She wanted to make sure those kids were taken care of first. -- nm - . Mar 31, 16:12
- I didn't know i was capable of the depth of loathing i have for him. -- nm - Andie Mar 31, 15:58 1
  - right?????? -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:58
- "We have almost ten thousand (ventilators)...we are holding it back for flexibility" The president on plan to disperse ventilators to the hottest spot -- (link) - budice Mar 31, 15:51 2
  - It's not like they aren't mobile. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 16:21
  - Except, there is no need for flexibility. We know exactly what will happen in ten days. His stupidity has no bottom. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:53
- I can't imagine why no one hates Donnie more than his home town. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:51
This from Cuomo is good I think -- (link) - ty97 Mar 31, 15:49 9
- His briefing today was truly outstanding. He asked for healthcare workers to come to NYC, and then said, we will return the favor. We will go to your - loosilu Mar 31, 15:52 2
  - except NY will still be overwhelmed as the wave hits the neighboring areas -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 15:55 1
    - Based on models, his plan is doable and smart. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:56
- I've enjoyed his frank way of speaking, though I could see it being abrasive in non crisis times -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:51 1
  - People make excuses for Trump, saying he's a New Yorker. PUKE. He's a joke. Cuomo is a real New Yorker. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:58
- Yeah, the straight talk is appreciated. -- nm - Tim Mar 31, 15:50 3
  - The straight INFORMED talk. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 31, 15:57 1
    - no malarkey! -- nm - Tim Mar 31, 15:57
  - I kinda needed that exact quote right now. - ty97 Mar 31, 15:52
lolz. ordered something from home depot on the 26th with free express delivery. still hasnt shipped per their website. - tRuMaN Mar 31, 15:48
"it comes out of nowhere ..." .. aarrghhh! -- nm - mud Mar 31, 15:46 1
- share my pain :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:47
Ridiculous tweet -- (link) - ty97 Mar 31, 15:42 3
- *spongebob 12 hours later.gif* -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 15:47

  - heh -- nm - mud Mar 31, 15:44
855k -- (link) - budice Mar 31, 15:39 5
- US army combat deaths in civil war 140,000, ww1 and Vietnam <50k, ww2 almost 300,000...yeah we have a war president, can we surrender? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 15:54 1
  - He surrendered three months ago. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:54
- Daily cases in SE US, FL pulling away -- (link) - budice Mar 31, 15:40 2
  - Yeah, a couple of days I said I think FL will be hit the worst. The governor is a Trump level asshat. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:55
  - that is 1K more than the number I saw this morning -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:49
Any more, I think any member of the press who asks Cheezy Puff a direct medical question is just as culpable for the erroneous information as he is. -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:38 5
- They should just direct all questions to the experts, if they're there and quit asking if they aren't. -- nm - . Mar 31, 16:03
- Do you know who asked? -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:40 2
  - No, I don't but I just heard the slight pop and hiss of him pulling something out of his ass -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:42 1
    - I need a brain cleansing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 16:02
- They should get to the stuff he knows, like how much he's getting paid to let those corporations do their ads during the briefing. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 15:40
NFL to expand post season by 2 teams, assuming this season happens -- (link) - Reagen Mar 31, 15:38 1
- ass u me -- nm - mud Mar 31, 15:44

    - Oh, hell yeah. We should totally go and do an eating tour of the Chicago area -- nm - JD Mar 31, 15:41 1

      - YEAH!!! And ty just got uninvited! -- nm* - David Mar 31, 15:41
    - ....... - ty97 Mar 31, 15:39
- Ummm. Yeah. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 15:36
- yummmm -- nm - prayformojo Mar 31, 15:35
- Under my rule, all tree named streets would run parallel so such a corner would never exist -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:35 6
  - It is on Maple Street, but there is no Ash street. -- nm - pmb Mar 31, 15:50
  - In downtown Austin, the north-south streets are named for rivers and east-west are (well were?) named for trees. - ty97 Mar 31, 15:37 4
    - replacing trees with numbers seems a sad comment on the progress of industrialized society ;) -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:40
    - Luckily, in NYC, the number/letter system for streets and avenues is consistent through the 5 boroughs. - loosilu Mar 31, 15:40 2
      - Yeah, tell that to the thousands of people who have been lost in Queens for 5 years now -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 15:51 1

  - well, duh -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:23

      - its been so long that I can't remember anything about the song :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 15:27
  - It's about as likely as going to a packed church this Easter Sunday. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:22
- NOT NOW, HURRICANES -- nm - Tim Mar 31, 15:20
Also, I know the good news out of WA state has to be killing Trump since he and Inslee have been fighting. - crash davis Mar 31, 15:18 8
- I was surprised since it was the original hotspot how few cases they have compared to NY and CA. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 15:24 7
  - I think they got a little lucky (?) because it was in nursing homes where they could contain it. - loosilu Mar 31, 15:25 4
    - I thought the people working there got it too? I would think they would have spread it to their family/friends. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 15:28 3
      - Yes, but same thing. Easily contained. Their family and friends would be isolated too. It's what S. Korea did. Contact tracing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:29 2
        
        And they were doing that weird thing of testing, even though they had to hide it. -- nm - jnine Mar 31, 15:42
        
        with cell phone data they can literally call everyone within 10 feet of you the entire month -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 15:42

Inexplicably, 8 days later I don't have a result for my test. - Tim Mar 31, 15:15 7

  - yup -- nm - Remlik Mar 31, 15:10
Pentagon offered to ship 2,000 ventilators on March 17th, government still hasn't told them where to send them. Also 5 million HN95 masks, 3 million - jnine Mar 31, 15:08 2
- I hope their ventilators at least work. -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:09 1
  - they'll send the broken ones to democratic govenors because they weren't so nice to him, no appreciation for his sacrifices of golf time -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 15:59
My thermometer is in Teterboro! It's on the move! -- nm* - ty97 Mar 31, 15:02 15

      - Wait, why do you need medical reagents? -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:08 2
        
        my company sells medical reagents and instruments for blood disorder testing - Jovian Mar 31, 15:11 1
        
        Very cool! -- nm - loosilu Mar 31, 15:11
