[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

I am 20 page behind on this thread. But somebody was talking about taking public transportation once a month to work.

My advise is don't. Get an ebike or electric scooter.


JFYI parts stocks for these are all based out of China so good loving luck getting rolling again if you drop it or something breaks. A buddy bought one of those super sick dual battery scooters that can go 25 mph for like 30 miles and while it is fun, he laid it down once and it broke the throttle trigger thingy and it took six weeks to get the replacement shipped from China. And that was before global hell pandemic.

either just ride a bike or get a small gas motorcycle of a well known brand (those chinese ones have the same parts rarity as the escooters)

here's an interesting article saying the toilet paper shortage might not just be due to hoarding but because people having to poop at home means they actually need more tp now

Yep, I exclusively poo poo at work. Also, I stole as much TP as I could on my way out when they sent us all home.

Hmm so its spared Yemen which has no functional government due to civil war, Western Sahara whose government's in exile, Turkmenistan where even mentioning Coronavirus is public will get you put in prison, Malawi whose health minister has admitted it has literally zero test kits and North Korea which publicly shot a man who violated quarantine for completely unrelated reasons I'm sure.

north sentinel island is probably ok, though!

Pervis posted:

Food is similar. Some of my local restaurants are turning in to drive-by grocery stores of sorts, although they have (very) limited options available like only whole milk, or the quantities are large. We got 25 pounds of brussel sprouts from one that we've been going through along with passing those and other food to my parents so they don't have to go to the store. The packaging and whatnot is not setup to be transitioned easily in to supplying say a grocery store, and I don't think those supply companies are going to just stop and shift their contracts and upstream supply over to grocery store supply chains temporarily. Eventually when restaurant demand re-adjusts to some lower than pre-virus baseline I assume those long-term contracts will shift around.

One of the local restaurant suppliers is doing that by us, just bought groceries from them today. We pre-ordered and pre-paid and just drove up to their reefers in a parking lot, they threw everything in the trunk, and we drove off.

Most of the produce quantities were fairly normal (if excessive for a two person household) but the ginger was restaurant quantity so now we have like 8 full hands of ginger.

Health policy plan for the coronavirus pandemic

- The best things in life are free (so health insurance must not be one of those things)
- Live, laugh while covering your mouth to prevent the spread of contagious droplets, and love at a social distance
- Fake it 'til you make it
- Home is where the heart is, until your heart stops

you might be able to apply for a dischargeable "loan" under the Paycheck Protection Program and get 8 weeks of pay covered

find an SBA authorized bank and try applying

you might also be able to still apply for UI under the new rules. this seems to have pretty good info on both programs, at least as a place to start: https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/03/30/what-the-cares-act-means-for-freelancers/

i'm mostly not freaked out, but that's because i've spent like 2 years on mindfulness bullshit to be okay with my own eventual death. feeling freaked out is pretty normal i think

i am getting slightly annoyed by all the people making GBS threads up c-spam threads with attempted blackpills. like they're not even creative. go read some Peter Watts or Schopenhauer or something and get back to me

Where can I get some mindfulness bullshit? I'd like to be OK with my eventual death.
