  1. It doesn't matter, but it is a relief for those of us who did.

  2. And just like that, the world became a little more normal again.

  4. "Intellectual" and "religious right" are mutually exclusive terms. There's no intersection between the two. You can be an intellectual or you can be a member of the religious right. You can't be both.

  5. You support a guy who demands that governors fellate him to get federal aid to save their citizens’ lives. Fuck him and fuck you. That is 100% indefensible, and in a functioning society, he’d already be hanging from an Esso station for that alone. You don’t get to speak with any moral authority on anything, ever.

  6. Ugh. That's atrocious. Particularly given that I've visited parts of the state where the entire population seems to have met those criterion.

  9. the initial bill contained a $500bb slush fund to be blindly given to corporations with a request that they disclose recipients ~6+ months down the road. dems had to force in a clause making this fund accountable and transparent, and having an committee/ig in place and weekly reporting. dems had to force in a clause specifically disallowing trump and his family and their businesses from profiting from this. the bill was held up over this language. once it finally got pushed through, trump says he's going to ignore these restrictions. they're not even hiding it anymore. no republican ever has grounds to comment on other people's complaints about bills. ever.

  11. The back and forth between posters with name calling and pointless banter is fucking cloak room level. Some of yall have some kinda weird misplaced reaction that compels you to respond to every fucking single post If we are this bored sitting at home now, i cant wait to see what this thread is like in 6-8 weeks

  12. These people are heroes and their efforts will save lives and even save the economy if we can get people back to work safely. I don’t give a crap what NBA player is positive or negative. I don’t care what Sean Penn thinks.

  13. I firmly believe that with the right leadership we would be entering the tail end of this crisis having suffered only a fraction of the economic damage and lost lives. Had Trump recognized back in Nov-Dec-Jan what was coming and acted decisively (gradually shut down all international travel over Jan-Feb, immediately gotten started provisioning PPE/tests/treatments/vaccines, nationwide shelter-in-place during all of March), the US would have <50,000 total cases, and there would be almost no risk of overwhelming the healthcare system. We really would be looking at Easter as a realistic time to reopen the country. I don’t know what previous presidents would have done. I don’t know if they would have had better information to work with or if they’d have acted more decisively. But it’s almost impossible to imagine anyone handling this in a more divisive, dishonest, and confusing way.

  14. I've been wearing one of these when I go to HEB: It's probably not as good as one of those N95 masks, but it does help with the social distancing, too.

  18. I know this is an oversimplification, but the amount of times I’ve been told to have an emergency fund for at least 6 months of living expenses has to be in the hundreds. So many large, National companies resorting to shit like this after 2 weeks is insane.

  21. My contribution to the quarantine cook. One of my best efforts. The pics always look dry but it was damn near perfect. I did a hot cook-290, and it turned out great.

  24. He’s a fucking pilot. Also, it is You’re and misinformed is one word. Miss Informed is probably a character in a teacher/student porn. And we won’t start on your run on sentence. So maybe stop lecturing other folks when you obviously can’t remember context or their professions. by the way, in case you’re curious, RayDog lives in the Philippines and TexasHammer is currently in Italy. ChiTownDoc is, wait for it, a doctor. In Chicago.

  26. Well, I took delivery right as the shelter in place order struck. Did an awkward transaction to get the delivery here (dude, just drive the car into my drive and stay 10 ft away while I paypal you this money), but I got a solid recommendation for a transporter if anyone needs one in the future. This guy is solid and reasonably priced. I actually threw him a few hundred more in the deal given the circumstances. Did a little OCD thing with a wash and disinfecting the interior immediately upon arrival. Not exactly what I envisioned after my multi year search, but the timing sucked other than the funding availability. The kids are bugging me every day to go for a family ride, but it looks like we are in at least a 3-4 week holding pattern for inspection and title and shit. We took a little job through the hood, and had some fun with it. But I promised burger shop and ice cream trips and shit and that ain't happening. It's pretty much rust free, with a few spots in the usual mustang areas. One blister under the drivers side door and some surface rust in the cowl area. Underbody is clean. Appears to have a little trans leak that I will have to address. Glamour shots delayed for the time being.

  27. People need to understand this fact when reading headlines. Deaths due to various illnesses will still occur in people of all ages. This virus is so widespread, it’s going to show up in many of those victims and doesn’t mean it was the cause or even a contributing factor.

  29. Tonight I picked up curbside our favorite Italian place and tipped the server who brought us our food 20 bucks on a 30 dollar tab. That count?

  30. Wanted to report back from the Retail Front. It's been a week or so since my last update. I'm not putting this in the Virus thread but that thread is insane at this point. Anyway, consumer buying has waned a bit but is still strong. Foot traffic is down from its peak 10 days ago (thank God) but it is still relatively strong and baskets are still big. Big Food has also hit their limit. Almost all of the major players are completely out of everything and are able to make maybe 60% of current demand. (This varies by category.) Assortments are being drastically reduced. No more long tail items. It'll only be the basics and even then it will take Big Food 2-4 weeks to catch up and even then, they'll have to allocate. Shelves may be empty for a few weeks in some cases and smaller players are being told it may be months before they get anything at all. Consumption has definitely changed. With no one eating out anymore, people are eating prolly double or triple than what they were previously eating before. The American food industry is weird. There is actually quite a bit of food in the network, it's just divided up between Food Service and Retail. You're starting to see some redirection in that now. Some that previously went to FS is now being modified to consumer retail. All the major chains are still selling out of everything they have. Also, it may have been covered in the other thread but truckers all got letters from their employers that designates them emergency essential personnel so in the event of domestic travel bans, they'll be able to cross state lines. For the non grocery retailers (apparel and the like), I honestly don't know how some of these guys are going to survive. I saw where Gap suspended its dividend today. They won't be only one. This segment was particularly strained before all of this but this could be the nail in the coffin for a lot of them. I don't see current trends changing anytime in the next few months.

  31. The stupid motherfucker just said 'why do they need so many ventilators now?' He is literally the dumbest motherfucker that has ever walked through the white house. That includes all the 350lb tourists who rolled their rascals through there.
