  - Would be a challenge (I'm not terribly experienced with chiffon), but I'll give it a shot. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:14 3
    - Make sure to get a graham crumb pie crust for it. That's the best. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:15 2
      - I could do that! My great aunt Donna's famous lemon chiffon pie calls for a pastry crust, but I could switch it out. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:20 1
        
        Nice! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:25

- God damn. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 5, 10:33
Hey, ST Animal Crossers. Anyone interested in either a FB Group or a discord? -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 5, 10:31 2
- I'd love a Discord session, and though I loathe Facebook, I'd participate over Facebook, too. -- nm* - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 10:52 1
  - That'd be my preference as well. I'll wait for others to weigh in. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 5, 11:02

The last two places I've DoorDashed from I'm pretty sure the delivery has come from someone also working for the restaurant. - Tim Apr 5, 10:22 3
- tht's actually good for both the staff, and the service itself -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 10:56
- huh -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 10:43
- Conspiracy!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 10:24

- Sorry, wrong chat. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 10:21
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:20 3
- Good point. Though in my instance I am happy I have my wife, but I am not envious of people with kids. Not one bit. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:22 2
  - Logan is rather perfect in this. He misses school a bit but is full-on chill. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 10:26 1
    - My kids are both full-on not-chill. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:55
I don't need groceries just yet but checking our Walmart it looks like you need to be online at 8-9 am to schedule pickup. They only schedule for - Meg Apr 5, 10:20
I've been shipped a crap ton of stuff for Little League Baseball. I imagine a huge % of it is going to go on clearance in Aug -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 10:05 2
- You are going to have a blowout sale? -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 10:14 1
  - Oh we always cut the hell out of things and they end up on Amazon via resellers. I should probably do that myself - crash davis Apr 5, 10:41
Sub 2 hour Virtual Half Marathon this morning! -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 10:03 1
- Yeah! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 10:16
For the ST garden club. Looks like a fun way to grow garlic. -- (link) - Bacon Apr 5, 10:02 [youtube] 15
- don't over feed garlic or you get more green less bulb (same with radish/carrots) also there's a thing about companion planting garlic with roses. - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:19
- This feels like Steve Martin's bit about how to become a millionaire. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:15 13
  - Haven't heard this one, so I googled it. -- (link) - Bacon Apr 5, 10:16 [youtube] 12
    - I think I get your reference. But in the video you are taking a clove of garlic and turning it into many cloves of garlic. - Bacon Apr 5, 10:20 11
      - Yes - but he starts with more garlic than I would need at the end of a year or could preserve. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:23 10
        
        Oh, for sure. I am going to do it with a single clove to make a half dozen. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:24 9
        
        I've got an "allium row" going, but I always have trouble getting a full clove out of it - Reagen Apr 5, 10:44 8
        
        Do those both seed from the flowers and grow out at the bottom? -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:49 7
        
        I've never gone to flower with garlic. I just plant the cloves. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:50 6
        
        I just started that garlic grow like the video showed. Didn't have a water bottle so I used a diet coke cat. Cut off the top and bent the sides in - Bacon Apr 5, 10:53 5
        
        I also started a ginger plant (in a big pot) from a thumb of it - Reagen Apr 5, 10:59 1
        
        Niiice! Also like the shallot post below. I am growing purple onions for the first time this year, but those are from starts at the nursery. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 11:02
        
        I wanna say like 3 months to harvest? -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:57 2
        
        That's not bad at all. I will slightly move the earth away to see how it develops without committing to dig up until it looks solid. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:58 1
        
        I've had good luck with shallots, which grow similarly. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:00
I had hoped to get out for a good walk before the rain started today - didn't happen :( Maybe I can get out for a bit between showers. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 09:57
You have to wonder if Dwight Schrute is on Trump's corona virus task force. -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 09:45 [youtube]
1.246M reported cases - Spawn Apr 5, 09:45 18
- The good news is that yesterday's 12.3% expansion indicates that we're 7-10 days away from the peak. -- nm - David Apr 5, 09:46 17
  - SG says this week will be our Pearl Harbor moment. - Spawn Apr 5, 10:23 2
    - we have lost more than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined already -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:20
    - swell -- nm - mud Apr 5, 10:46
  - Deaths have trailed the rolling projection by a fair amount the last three days, too. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 09:56 1
    - (Though I would like to have a global discussion on the meaning of the phrase "exponential growth") - Reagen Apr 5, 10:42
  - They'll be a lot of regional peaking rolling across the country. Some areas haven't even hardly started yet. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 09:49 11
    - The University of Washington's model has Idaho peaking Apr 26th. We got our stay at home order Mar 23. So I worry about TX, FL and the like -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 09:54 6
      - Florida is going to be horrific I suspect -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 10:02 4
        
        Thankfully, DeSantis finally took his head out of his ass. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:12 3
        
        But he didn't even wash his hands. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 10:25 1
        
        To be fair, his hands weren't what was in his ass. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 10:52
        
        kind of. The Iowa Governor is a piece of garbage as well -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 10:24
      - Modeling for Texas says May 2 - Pippy-with a side eye Apr 5, 09:56
    - That’s what I’m afraid of. -- nm - spamlet Apr 5, 09:50 3
      - We are going to start dropping and I know due to the economy we are going to start ramping up the economy and the second wave will begin. - Bacon Apr 5, 09:51 2
        
        South Korea is starting to get hit with a second wave -- nm - eag Apr 5, 10:02 1
        
        We need a one day or less test that can be repeated often to remove positives from the work force. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 10:04
Odd thought of the day: Hate to be on the ISS on in Antarctica right now. Sure, no COVID, but resupply and/or extraction will be a bitch. -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 09:40 2
- ISS always has a capsule docked so they can leave if needed -- nm - TWuG Apr 5, 10:03 1
  - Just thinking logistics would be tough. I guess you test and bring in the healthy people to form the team. -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 10:13
If you are in Iraq and need to get home to the US, there is a possible flight on April 8. -- (link) - ty97 Apr 5, 09:34

New York has more new cases today (+7256) than all but 10 states have cases total to this point -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 09:16 5
- But how many tests are being done in other states vs. here? -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 09:24 3
  - apparently 283,621 out of 1,681,482 total -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 09:28 2
    - TN is clearly under reporting or not testing. We have had less than 300 cases since Thurs - Dark Callisto Apr 5, 09:38 1
      - Texas in the same boat -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Apr 5, 09:48
- If NY state was a country, it'd be the 4th most infected country in the world. -- nm - Loyola Apr 5, 09:19
NotTheOnion: Restless Trump Can’t Believe He Stuck Inside With Nothing To Do But Be President -- (link) - budice Apr 5, 09:14 1
- It's The Onion. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 09:26
I managed to lock up BioShock ☹️ - JD Apr 5, 09:04 1
- I had that happen to me last night, just close the program and you'll be good. - J Apr 5, 09:06
So have any of The Circle watchers watched The Circle Brazil? -- nm - Todd Manning Apr 5, 08:51 1
- I haven't -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 09:00
so have services like blue apron seen an uptick in sales? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 5, 08:47 2
- Yes, that is a stock I have watched from it's IPO. It was really struggling to gain traction (down to less that $2 a share if I remember) and now it - Bacon Apr 5, 08:49 1
  - It's all time low March 12 at $2.28 a share. Went to $16.85 March 18th I believe that either was on earnings, or announced it's huge increase in sales news. -- nm* - Bacon Apr 5, 08:50
I think this guy nailed the problem with toilet paper shortages. Not about hoarding or panic buying at all. -- (link*) - GregW Apr 5, 08:30 20
- I also think that it’s a bulky item is a factor. Stores can’t have as much of it on hand at once because it takes up more space. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 10:02 1
  - It was taking up a whole middle aisle in my store once they got supply solved. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:18
- Way more people poop at work than I expected to be the case. -- nm - Tim Apr 5, 09:02 1
  - I now consciously try to do it there as much as possible. In the past, I'd often wait until I got home -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 10:08
- Nah, it started because of the hoarding. The product hasn't come quickly because the supply chain wasn't set up for nation wide hoarding. - Todd Manning Apr 5, 08:43
- My company that deals with commercial toilet paper demand had a one week brief uptick in sales, and now they are flat. We never got even close to - Bacon Apr 5, 08:33 5
  - Can you start selling to consumers? -- nm* - loosilu Apr 5, 08:38 4
    - It's exactly like the article says. They are huge rolls 18 inches across and nobody wants them. They don't fit in a household toilet paper holder. - Bacon Apr 5, 08:40 3
      - I'd use it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 09:26
      - Use PVC to make a stand-alone dispenser and sell that with a few rolls... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 09:13 1
        
        Make a reel-to-reel machine. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:28
- I read that. I think it's certainly a contributing factor, but panic buying is part of it too. Mostly fueled by the media hype. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 08:33 8
  - Not just media - social. It's easy to let a lot of people know "they're running out of TP!" - JaxSean Apr 5, 08:49 3
    - Well... "social media" so... yeah. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 09:39 1
      - Sorry, I thought you meant news media -- nm - JaxSean Apr 5, 10:08
    - My neighborhood is on Nextdoor and we have people posting when and where they find things like TP and eggs in stock. -- nm - GregW Apr 5, 08:54
  - Maybe for the first week or so, but this has been going on too long for that to be the cause. - GregW Apr 5, 08:42
  - Yup. Also, I'm not using more because I'm home all the time. I never used the toilet when I was out to do anything but pee. - Krusty Apr 5, 08:40 2
    - You are a man, usage for a woman that stays at home would be affected. I never crap away from the house either. - Bacon Apr 5, 08:42 1
      - True. They need the TP more than we do and will use it outside of the home. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 08:42
?????? -- (pic) - ty97 Apr 5, 08:25 [Attachment] 7
- Provide for the Common Defense, Promote the General Welfare -- nm - budice Apr 5, 08:28
- I guess joking about "domestic tranquility" as referring to couples or families? -- nm - mara Apr 5, 08:27 4
  - That would be my guess with the background of the kid doing a flying elbow drop. -- nm - spamlet Apr 5, 09:02
  - On the previous slide he talked about the realities and issues of cabin fever. I just didn't get this slide -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:29
  - Or maybe not actually joking, depending on the source? -- nm* - znufrii Apr 5, 08:28 1
    - Well, wordplay more than joke, I guess, since in its original context it's not about households. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 08:30
- If this had happened 20 years ago, the WW2 generation would still be spry enough to smack the shit out of people. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 08:27
My store got 141 cases of eggs yesterday - Todd Manning Apr 5, 08:22 5
- I'll find out later today, I guess. I have a feeling there are a lot of quarantine bakers in this neighborhood. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 08:24 4
  - Yeah, flour doesn't stay on the shelf for long. -- nm - Todd Manning Apr 5, 08:28 3
    - Yup, flour availability is worse than eggs here. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 08:29 1
      - I've seen some of my FB friends bartering flour. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 08:38
    - Of course not much does. -- nm - Todd Manning Apr 5, 08:29
so, yesterday's Moviepalooza: Hereditary: B/B+; Onward: B+; Wick 3: B-; Good Boys: B/B+ -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 08:19 3
- How're you feeling? -- nm - spamlet Apr 5, 09:03 1
  - Lots of annoying residual pain in my chest, and my energy level is still only 50-75%, but other than that ok - prayformojo Apr 5, 09:45
