we kinda discussed this in the D&D Texas thread. the average age of anyone involved in elections is north of 100 because its all volunteer work and people who work two jobs aint got time for that. so now you've end up with like two people under 40 in an entire county trying to explain ipads to people who remember voting for Eisenhower. this just carries right over into party machines.

My parents got an email from the airline that their booking of the return flight from Crete (April 1st) was canceled and fully refunded. Been 10 days since they got there, showing no symptoms or anything, and there seem to be no confirmed cases on the island. Maybe they found a pretty sweet place to ride it out.

Meanwhile at work we started a pool for:

1) When the Feds/USACE go to minimum essential operations (we're an army corps construction project)
2) When one of our companies blinks and tells engineers/other office dwellers to start WFH. Inspectors and all the craft workers can eat poo poo I guess.
3) Date first person on the project is confirmed to have it.
4) When someone makes an HR complaint about the pool.

gently caress YOURSELF

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I�ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I�ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I do not give coronavirus permission to infect me, my family, or any people/dogs I know, in both the past and the future.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I�m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words.

The wellness of my body is private and confidential.

You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You�re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that�s just with my bare hands.

By posting this statement, I give my notice to the coronavirus that it is strictly forbidden to infect me, infect anybody close to me, make me I'll, send me or any of my family members into quarantine, or take any other action against me on the basis of my body and/or its contents.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little �clever� comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue.

The violation of my privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308-1 1 308-103 and the Rome statute).

But you couldn�t, you didn�t, and now you�re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it.

Note: Coronavirus is now a pandemic. All Facebook Users must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once, you have given tacit agreement allowing you, as well as all of your friends on your Facebook page, to be infected.

You�re loving dead, kiddo.

He Has 17,700 Bottles of Hand Sanitizer and Nowhere to Sell Them

Amazon cracked down on coronavirus price gouging. Now, while the rest of the world searches, some sellers are holding stockpiles of sanitizer and masks.

By Jack Nicas

March 14, 2020
Updated 1:33 p.m. ET

On March 1, the day after the first coronavirus death in the United States was announced, brothers Matt and Noah Colvin set out in a silver S.U.V. to pick up some hand sanitizer. Driving around Chattanooga, Tenn., they hit a Dollar Tree, then a Walmart, a Staples and a Home Depot. At each store, they cleaned out the shelves.

Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes, mostly from �little hole-in-the-wall dollar stores in the backwoods,� his brother said. �The major metro areas were cleaned out.�

Matt Colvin stayed home near Chattanooga, preparing for pallets of even more wipes and sanitizer he had ordered, and starting to list them on Amazon. Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, �it was crazy money.� To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic.

The next day, Amazon pulled his items and thousands of other listings for sanitizer, wipes and face masks. The company suspended some of the sellers behind the listings and warned many others that if they kept running up prices, they�d lose their accounts. EBay soon followed with even stricter measures, prohibiting any U.S. sales of masks or sanitizer.

Now, while millions of people across the country search in vain for hand sanitizer to protect themselves from the spread of the coronavirus, Mr. Colvin is sitting on 17,700 bottles of the stuff with little idea where to sell them.

�It�s been a huge amount of whiplash,� he said. �From being in a situation where what I�ve got coming and going could potentially put my family in a really good place financially to �What the heck am I going to do with all of this?��

Mr. Colvin is one of probably thousands of sellers who have amassed stockpiles of hand sanitizer and crucial respirator masks that many hospitals are now rationing, according to interviews with eight Amazon sellers and posts in private Facebook and Telegram groups from dozens more. Amazon said it had recently removed hundreds of thousands of listings and suspended thousands of sellers� accounts for price gouging related to the coronavirus.

Now both the physical and digital shelves are nearly empty.

Mikeala Kozlowski, a nurse in Dudley, Mass., has been searching for hand sanitizer since before she gave birth to her first child, Nora, on March 5. When she searched stores, which were sold out, she skipped getting gas to avoid handling the pump. And when she checked Amazon, she couldn�t find it for less than $50.

�You�re being selfish, hoarding resources for your own personal gain,� she said of the sellers.

Sites like Amazon and eBay have given rise to a growing industry of independent sellers who snatch up discounted or hard-to-find items in stores to post online and sell around the world.

These sellers call it retail arbitrage, a 21st-century career that has adults buying up everything from limited-run cereals to Fingerling Monkeys, a once hot toy. The bargain hunters look for anything they can sell at a sharp markup. In recent weeks, they found perhaps their biggest opportunity: a pandemic.

As they watched the list of Amazon�s most popular searches crowd with terms like �Purell,� �N95 mask� and �Clorox wipes,� sellers said, they did what they had learned to do: Suck up supply and sell it for what the market would bear.

Initially, the strategy worked. For several weeks, prices soared for some of the top results to searches for sanitizer, masks and wipes on Amazon, according to a New York Times analysis of historical prices from Jungle Scout, which tracks data for Amazon sellers. The data shows that both Amazon and third-party sellers like Mr. Colvin increased their prices, which then mostly dropped when Amazon took action against price gouging this month.

At the high prices, people still bought the products en masse, and Amazon took a cut of roughly 15 percent and eBay roughly 10 percent, depending on the price and the seller.

Then the companies, pressured by growing criticism from regulators and customers, cracked down. After the measures last week, Amazon went further on Wednesday, restricting sales of any coronavirus-related products from certain sellers.

�Price gouging is a clear violation of our policies, unethical, and in some areas, illegal,� Amazon said in a statement. �In addition to terminating these third party accounts, we welcome the opportunity to work directly with states attorneys general to prosecute bad actors.�

Mr. Colvin, 36, a former Air Force technical sergeant, said he started selling on Amazon in 2015, developing it into a six-figure career by selling Nike shoes and pet toys, and by following trends.

In early February, as headlines announced the coronavirus�s spread in China, Mr. Colvin spotted a chance to capitalize. A nearby liquidation firm was selling 2,000 �pandemic packs,� leftovers from a defunct company. Each came with 50 face masks, four small bottles of hand sanitizer and a thermometer. The price was $5 a pack. Mr. Colvin haggled it to $3.50 and bought them all.

He quickly sold all 2,000 of the 50-packs of masks on eBay, pricing them from $40 to $50 each, and sometimes higher. He declined to disclose his profit on the record but said it was substantial.

The success stoked his appetite. When he saw the panicked public starting to pounce on sanitizer and wipes, he and his brother set out to stock up.

Elsewhere in the country, other Amazon sellers were doing the same.

Chris Anderson, an Amazon seller in central Pennsylvania, said he and a friend had driven around Ohio, buying about 10,000 masks from stores. He used coupons to buy packs of 10 for around $15 each and resold them for $40 to $50. After Amazon�s cut and other costs, he estimates, he made a $25,000 profit.

Mr. Anderson is now holding 500 packs of antibacterial wipes after Amazon blocked him from selling them for $19 each, up from $16 weeks earlier. He bought the packs for $3 each.

Eric, a truck driver from Ohio who spoke on the condition that his surname not be published because he feared Amazon would retaliate, said he had also collected about 10,000 masks at stores. He bought each 10-pack for about $20 and sold most for roughly $80 each, though some he priced at $125.

�Even at $125 a box, they were selling almost instantly,� he said. �It was mind-blowing as far as what you could charge.� He estimates he made $35,000 to $40,000 in profit.

Now he has 1,000 more masks on order, but he�s not sure what to do with them. He said Amazon had been vague about what constituted price gouging, scaring away sellers who don�t want to risk losing their ability to sell on its site.

To regulators and many others, the sellers are sitting on a stockpile of medical supplies during a pandemic. The attorney general�s offices in California, Washington and New York are all investigating price gouging related to the coronavirus. California�s price-gouging law bars sellers from increasing prices by more than 10 percent after officials declare an emergency. New York�s law prohibits sellers from charging an �unconscionably excessive price� during emergencies.

An official at the Washington attorney general�s office said the agency believed it could apply the state�s consumer-protection law to sue platforms or sellers, even if they aren�t in Washington, as long as they were trying to sell to Washington residents.

Mr. Colvin does not believe he was price gouging. While he charged $20 on Amazon for two bottles of Purell that retail for $1 each, he said people forget that his price includes his labor, Amazon�s fees and about $10 in shipping. (Alcohol-based sanitizer is pricey to ship because officials consider it a hazardous material.)

Current price-gouging laws �are not built for today�s day and age,� Mr. Colvin said. �They�re built for Billy Bob�s gas station doubling the amount he charges for gas during a hurricane.�

He added, �Just because it cost me $2 in the store doesn�t mean it�s not going to cost me $16 to get it to your door.�

But what about the morality of hoarding products that can prevent the spread of the virus, just to turn a profit?

Mr. Colvin said he was simply fixing �inefficiencies in the marketplace.� Some areas of the country need these products more than others, and he�s helping send the supply toward the demand.

�There�s a crushing overwhelming demand in certain cities right now,� he said. �The Dollar General in the middle of nowhere outside of Lexington, Ky., doesn�t have that.�

He thought about it more. �I honestly feel like it�s a public service,� he added. �I�m being paid for my public service.�

As for his stockpile, Mr. Colvin said he would now probably try to sell it locally. �If I can make a slight profit, that�s fine,� he said. �But I�m not looking to be in a situation where I make the front page of the news for being that guy who hoarded 20,000 bottles of sanitizer that I�m selling for 20 times what they cost me.�

After The Times published this article on Saturday morning, Mr. Colvin said he was exploring ways to donate all the supplies.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that the US government�s coronavirus testing apparatus, which has lagged badly behind other developed nations, would soon get an assist from Google. The search and advertising giant will create a website, Trump said, that would help Americans figure out if they need a test for the virus, and if so where they can find one.

The only problem: There is no nationwide site like the one Trump described. And Google had no idea the president was going to mention one.

A source at Google tells WIRED that company leadership was surprised that Trump announced anything about the initiative at the press conference. What he did say was also almost entirely wrong.

Yeah, no poo poo the average "flattening the curve" graphics don't have numbers and aren't meant to be taken as 100% literal, they're intended to explain the reasoning for the measures being taken in a way that is easy to understand.

It's not impossible that such measures will be necessary, but I'm not going to take that advice from an "AI researcher".
