I haven't left the house in, going on 5 days. I'm more worried about infecting other people and am now very glad that my parents live out in the sticks and my little brother lives close to them and can help with shopping and stuff if necessary. Lot less people outside today as well, at least thats what I see from my window.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I'd always been terrified of the idea of going under but I had general anaesthetic for the first time a few months ago and it wasn't too bad. Maybe it's because I knew the procedure wasn't going to be a tricky one and I was pretty much guaranteed to wake up. I'll have to post that story sometime. Always use a flared base. I've had it twice, tonsils and gall bladder. Both times I asked if they had started yet when I woke up in recovery.

Azza Bamboo posted:Anaesthetic is great. I can usually count to about 11 before the edges of the room start to trail as they move like the windows of an xp machine that's currently frozen. getting put under was a very pleasurable experience for me. for a few weeks after i kept getting the itchy feeling of wanting to be anesthetized again. i got a combo of an injection which made my arm feel cold and a mask. it was very weird as i thought i'd be scared. i also woke up 2 hours later feeling refreshed and great. i highly recommend it.

Some good virus related news: Since I'm now spending all waking hours at home and am no longer spending money on pubs/restaurants/travel to work I figured I can avoid saving any money by buying a new graphics card. I will now be able to play Rome 2 with the little mans being something other than vaguely rounded blobs of colour. While I'm waiting for it to arrive I've reinstalled Dishonoured and will be engaging in a maximum plague/death run through so I'll be totally prepared for the next few weeks.

Anyone else using the goodsam app for volunteering? I dunno how it really works. I'm 'on duty' but not had anything. It's a bit annoying because the app is clearly designed for people to respond to medical emergencies and not to send out volunteering tasks.

You're probably better off directly finding volunteering schemes for your area, each community is pretty much rolling their own through Facebook and WhatsApp and so on.

Virus good news: Went to Waitrose yesterday and there were so many Higgledy Piggledy pies in the 'reduced' section I was able to afford to buy a couple. Usually beyond my budget to spend £3.49 on two mouthfuls of pie, tasty as they are. (Ed: they were reduced to £1.19 each). Essential to buy a tasty pie for physical health? No. Essential to buy a tasty pie for mental health? Yes. (Our waitrose has marked out the car park with a long queue of 2m red paint marks and doing a strict one in one out policy with signs up imploring people to come on their own not bring the whole household). Our Waitrose had a spate of a few weeks where they stopped having a 'reduced' section but just had reduced items in their regular places. But I don't go looking necessarily for a reduced item in a place where things are normally too expensive eg their sandwiches, but browse the reduced section for things that I don't normally consider but will try if reduced. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago they brought the section back so I guess enough people might have had a moan at them. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Mar 31, 2020 |

Will I ever get flour again god drat. Most things are back in stock but flour remains missing everywhere I look. Just want my weekend sourdough loaf Tesco was weird, staff are directing everyone to queue just down one side of the store and then waving them over when a till is free. In other news, furloughed from tomorrow so I guess I'd better find something productive to do once the novelty/chocolate/novelty chocolate runs out.

CGI Stardust posted:AdBlock Pro or similar allows you to select an element to block - do that on the gang tags. Seems to work here, at least. I'm on the app so can't check, but if the gangtags are all in a specific directory /gangs/ you could also block that address on an adblocker and do them all.

Communist Thoughts posted:yeah i've had general anaesthetic a couple times and its fine, i kinda enjoy trying to see how long I can stay awake. about as long as it takes to start tasting the anaesthetic i found. Its the same in France and Italy, they counts Corona deaths in hospitals, not those who dies in their homes or old folks home.

Also cooked an assload of empanadas yesterday (Carnte picane and Spinach fillings if you must know). We've now got 16 or so in the freezer along with an equal number of pre-cut pastry discs to make more when desired. On the downside I'm in the same boat flour and egg wise so this might be the last bit of baking for a while. I don't really get it though, pasta I understand but has everyone in the world decided to try their hand at baking all of a sudden? Did everyone watch the same Jamie Oliver 'how to make pasta at home' video and figure they've got the perfect solution to the pasta shelves being all sold out?

It's always something I've done when I've had a cold or similar. I always had this (totally unscientifically proven and based on nothing but my desire for an excuse to take a can of condensed milk) idea that it would make viruses explode and die.

Just found out that my company will have to furlough a large amount of employees, and that they're covering the last 20% of pay, so no one loses money which is pretty good. What isn't so good is that I'm not one of them. It's the DREAM god dammit. also yes I am still very lucky to be able to work from home and get paid during this time, but still.

That is somewhat horrifying and I think the result will you exploding before the virii. Although home-made iced coffee made with shedloads of instant coffee, condensed milk and ice is an amazingly tasty way to get diabetes.

You have no idea the level of self control needed not to break into them.. me, I love to pour it over crushed ice to make a kind of creamy slushie.

You can buy tins of caramel and as an adult there is nothing but your own self control stopping you from buying one and pouring it all into your gullet.

OwlFancier posted:You can buy tins of caramel and as an adult there is nothing but your own self control stopping you from buying one and pouring it all into your gullet. I tried that (where they already caramelize the condensed milk) but I didn't find it as good as the actual condensed milk uncaramelized. MrNemo posted:That is somewhat horrifying and I think the result will you exploding before the virii. Although home-made iced coffee made with shedloads of instant coffee, condensed milk and ice is an amazingly tasty way to get diabetes. The thing that always gives me what I call 'the sugar shakes' is too much bread, cereal or pizza type food: if I eat that and eat nothing else, then after about 6 hours I start to feel all shaky and in dire need of a sit down so if I go on a long walk I always have a bag with a handful of sugar cubes in my pocket (and remarkably usually come back with the bag intact). I have had to go and sit down in a cafe before now and ask them for sugar. Condensed milk does not have that effect on me!
