    The stores around me have everything in stock expect TP and sanitizer, and they have been that way for at least a week.

    Spitting, coughing, sneezing, shouting, singing, or otherwise expelling air (and other things...) forcefully.

    Which means the safest thing is to stay at least twice that far away, and avoid places (like choir practice in Seattle...) where such things are likely to happen.

    Or, you can be like me and go through self-checkout and use your own bags, cuz they won't stop you there :cool:

    ....I mean, I get the logic, cuz people are decidedly lax on cleaning the cloth ones even on a good day. A former co-worker of mine mentioned she opened one with a "pet surprise" in it. :brood:

    (The ten cents goes to California for environmental stuff, not the manufacturer if I remember correctly)

    Sure, IF you have it! Regardless, you can dispose of either packaging. Good luck.

    They waived the 10 cents fee here in Connecticut. Surprised they didn't bump it to 15!

    The first time I really noticed this sort of quiet was 2001 9/11 because all the air traffic was downed. I noticed it again down here near all the airportrs from west palm (AKA twitler international) and miami. The big jets just are not in the air like they were, if at all, and it is quiet. It is a quiet like on the farm in AL.

    The curfews seem to be starting up around here. I still do not get them. I am a master social distancer and 3 in the morning is prime time to not run into anyone. Even now there is no one out in the middle of the night because most of the people cannot drive in the dark. It has pissed me off that Walmart shut down for customers after midnight.

    Before anyone goes to the disinfection thing, that is useless after an hour of the elderly wandering through the store in the morning. It also crams more people into the aisles and check out lines during operational hours. I can make my shopping trip in the middle of the night and then stay way out of the way of the people who cannot. I could not spit on someone if I wanted to in the middle of the night. Everything I pick up goes home with me. I will even wear a mask and gloves to protect the sterilized goods.

    Curiosity made me check flightradar.com to see what air traffic is like. Typically it looks like this, more or less on any given day.

    [​IMG]

    This is the air traffic now, it's considerably less over the Atlantic now, and about 1/3 to 1/2 of normal over the US.

    I came to Vietnam three weeks ago, as it was one of the last comfortable places to go with a low cost of living to wait out the storm. At that time there were fewer than 70 active cases. But restrictions have increased since then and as of tomorrow, there will be a stay-at-home order for two weeks.

    I've been floating around for months, trying to maintain my freedom, but I have finally run out of road.

    For the people who think prison is not so bad, try to imagine a few things getting worse.

    Imagine if you could only get mail and the occasional phone call or visit from others. Imagine if you cannot go out walking when you want. All you have is your quarantine room, and you don't know what is going on outside. If the system breaks do you get fed? You cannot get for yourself. Someone might do something stupid out there and you cannot control it and it would not be known for weeks.

    It is just a small taste of jail/prison, and you have all sorts of communication and things to do.

    Just leave it for a day or three, or wipe/spray it down. Cardboard (and other microscopically rough, charged surfaces) destroys coronaviruses, albeit slowly. It doesn't soak them up.

    You may not know me, and you are probably wondering why you are getting this email, right?
    I'm a Hacker who cracked your devices. I setup a malware on the adult video (porn) website and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a "HRDP" - Hidden Remote Desktop Protocol having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and webcam. After that, my software program obtained all your contacts and files. You entered a password on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it. Of course, you can change it, or already changed it. But it doesn't matter, my malware updated it every time.



    What did I do?
    I generated a backup of your every system (private document files, video, photos, all files).
    I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you've got a good taste ha ha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your webcam.
    Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server)

    Do not try to contact me. Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server.
    I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. This is a hacker code of honor. Don't be mad at me, everyone has their own work.



    exactly what should you do?
    Well, in my opinion, $ 500 (USD) Dollars is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (search "Bitcoin Wallet" in Application Store then Download & Install) Make a deposit to your wallet. After that, transfer it to my wallet.
    My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet address: 1HMsu3Dg3ocegPN2psqQtnsgZESeHVuxmN



    (It is case sensitive, Bitcoin wallet address Beginning with 1 and Ending with N)



    Important:
    You have 2 days in order to make the payment. (I've a Facebook pixel in this mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message). To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.) If I do not get the Bitcoin, I will certainly send out your video recording to all your contacts including relatives, coworkers and all contacts. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I'll destroy the video immediately. If you need evidence, reply with "Yes" and I will certainly send out your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, don't waste my personal time and yours by responding to this message.




    Public Hacker Announcement

    Google


    1 Stop reading news & watching videos about Coronavirus Content and forget it do your life like it never happened.

    2 If your family or friends already infected by Coronavirus just do 3 step at point 3,4,5.

    3 The first day, Give infected victim every day to drink Mineral water 3 Liters '80 degrees Celsius' minimal then Inject/Hypnotherapy "exploit his mind so he believes" Put suggestion to infected victim and talk to him the water is antibiotic and if they drink it in 3 day they will recover without question (3 Days Guaranteed).

    4 The second day, Exploit his mind again "Hypnotherapy" ... and tell to him, Looks like your condition is getting better and take him to the field or the yard to do gymnastics.

    5 The third day, Exploit his mind again "Hypnotherapy" ... and tell to him, Day by day your condition is getting better and it seems like next weekend you can go home. At this point we have a benchmark of 7 days, so we will do or repeat the activity at point 3-4, which is drinking 3 Liters '80 degrees Celsius' of mineral water and gymnastics every day. Remember "STOP PUT SAD FACE, ALWAY USE FRESH AND SMILE FACE TO DO POINT 3-4".



    NOTE:
    If you do all from that 5 Steps you're free from Coronavirus because virus need to bypass human antivirus "BRAINPOWER" and if virus can't bypass it the virus cannot continue to spread or inject other payload to next human system ( you know right human have billions system very small), Also that at Point 1 if you do it you can break your BRAINPOWER.

    We got an e-mail like that once sent to "contact" at our church website. :lol: An address that no one uses for anything other than receiving incoming messages. They are just sent out to all the e-mail addresses they can get, hoping that guilty people will be afraid and send them money. They know very well that only one person in a thousand (if that) will do so, but the few who do already bring in quite a few thousand dollars.

    Just got word that there are three cases at my former employer, and one 60-year-old man died. I didn't recognize the name. They closed off and sanitized the area he worked in. Not the whole building, mind you.

    also factor in that the birds that are in in the air (domestic anyway) have only a fraction of the passengers they would normally carry. :(

    It is long and wordy, but not enough poor spelling and grammar to be me. Of course I could be faking it, but I have no need for money like that. I would just tell everyone about how you dance around naked to justin beiber when you are alone. It is not really that horrible a thing, is it?

    The Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market I shop at had toilet paper this morning...just a few rolls, but the first I've seen in weeks. There was also a small supply of hand soap. Not a lot of people in the store and everyone seemed to make an effort to keep some distance.

    Only place near me that has TP is 7-eleven. Individual rolls, but still it's more than the supermarkets have.

    Ducked into CVS yesterday and there was a line of people dutifully standing six feet apart, but it ran the full length of one aisle and half of another, past the liquor department. Turns out it wasn't people waiting to buy booze, but paper towels -!

    I went to Walmart. When I first got there all they had was generic brand paper towels. I went to check out and they announced that toilet paper was in stock so I got in line to get some. One lady got three packs of 24 rolls.:brood: Get fucked. Another woman got two.:brood: Fuck you too, bitch. I got one pack of 12 which should last for a few more weeks. Unbelievable. Just take what you need assholes and stop hording. Then on the way back home there's hardly any traffic, but that doesn't stop people from still being idiots. The asteroid can't come soon enough.

    Soon enough, we will not need those. We will be able to uniquely identify individuals using a variety of passive biometric scanning techniques and machine learning systems that will not be fooled by any disguise. It will be the end of all Soma duals. :(
