I have to admit I am a little jelly of the free time a lot of people are getting when there is so much to do around here. The wife is working 12 hours a day 7 days a week so she is barely keeping sane and I can't tap the kids too much as they still have on-line classes to complete. So I have all th...

Under circumstances of quarantines and lockdowns, how is "banning" gardening supplies and seeds acceptable but Marijuana is widely available? Some states consider MJ "medicine" mostly based upon the mind numbing psychotropic effects. Honestly I am in favor of the druggies sitting around the house a...

I would consider buying some rabbits right now. 2 does and a buck (or better yet, 3-4 does and a buck). Maybe just pasture them on the land you bought, but I"d consider gifting them to some interested family members who will make sure they multiply. Something I saw on a homesteading video, I guess ...

This thread went from "Oh. My God!! I've wanted this for so long!" to "Oh. My God! That went quick!". LMAO Let's hope it gets fixed. This is a very cool function. And thank you NT2C for coming up with it. In the meantime, you can always download the imgur community chrome extension. Which actually h...

Most ridiculous in price.

Possibly an understatement. When does a price increase become price gouging?

When they try to charge $32 for ten rolls of toilet paper?

Travel restrictions have started. Sort of. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/27/us/rhode-island-tracking-down-new-yorkers/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_term=link&utm_content=2020-03-28T05%3A05%3A04&utm_source=twCNN The difference being whether it's enforced or not, even in my state where we are under ...

The Alabama shut down order closed sporting goods stores like Academy Sports but not gun shops. Academy sells a metric ton of guns a month and is the low cost guns and ammo dealer in the state. I am guessing someone really politicked well to get them closed. The gun shops can now print money. I agr...

My follow up is what would it take in terms of it actually happening? How serious would the virus situation have to get before they would shut down state to state travel? And at what point would the public accept it? You are asking for opinion based upon conjecture. I think it is sufficient to say ...

I don't expect you to, but what would need to occur to achieve that restriction in America? A state of emergency? Martial law? An agreement between governor's and state troopers? Martial law would likely do it, but I expect there would still be legal challenges. I'm not an attorney, nor did I stay ...

Do you think we'll get to the point where they ban travel state to state?

The problem is there aren't pallets of goods available. Simply easier to let customers in to buy the few rationed items that come on the shelves each morning. They are generally gone by mid day. Are you saying that because the quantity of goods coming in are not sufficient to be numbered in pallets...

Of course, Walmart is still open and I am seeing on social media friends that typically do not go to Walmart often posting pictures inside there. I feel this may be due to the social nature of most humans. If they cannot socialize in their normal places they will go wherever it is allowed. .... Can...

This. This x 2 I live in (sometimes unfortunitly) one of the fast growing areas in the SE. I've lived here all my life, and remember when the town was considered "semi-rural" I've watched it grow up. Change is going to happen, I deal with it, the traffic, etc. But the best way to tick off the local...

Just don't move South because you like the atmosphere, and then tell us how you used to do something "Up North" :roll: "Oh, we just love the environment and cost of living.

I need to preface the question I am about to ask with the fact that I personally am a social distancing expert. I work in a remote location where I am the only employee. My company employes hundreds of people and most do not understand how I work completely alone. I keep plenty of supplies that I h...

Just for a little perspective that may help. We pay around $400 a month for our power bill. Here in socal. And we live in an 800sqft home. The electric company turned private some years ago. And they, of course, have raped the consumer ever since. Just another reason we are moving. Very few can affo...

Just read that Trump has activated the National Guard in CA, WA and NY. Sounds like for support services. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/22/politics/trump-coronavirus-task-force-briefing/index.html I realize I am being a little picky here but Trump did not activate the National Guard. If he had they w...

AT&T is allowing customers to push their bills out to 5-15-20. I would think other carriers and bills may be doing the same.

Well it's official as of yesterday. This thing held fluid for over 2 months. And it's still going strong. I don't think I'll use a regular Zippo case ever again. At least not for my daily use Zippo.
