I think it has to do with weightlifting because just before I started up more intensely I said to myself "This is going to ruin my stomach" and then it immediately and persistently has. Is this normal?

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
I've had pretty loose shits since doing bjj consistently for the last three years. I even had a colonoscopy to check up on it that found absolutely nothing. Doctor said it could be a low grade IBS and I figured I'd just live with it. I've often wondered if it's a stress reaction to the exercise.

Oh gently caress, I just had a flashback to being stationed in Honduras.

I really got along with the Hondurans around our base and the capital of Tegucigalpa. I actually picked up a ton of the language and wasn't a flaming rear end in a top hat like most of the American's there. Ranks as possibly the best year of my life. Made tons of friends and was treated like family at so many homes, clubs, and hell even by the police. If there was a problem I would get a call and I would sort it out. Could be talking a drunk GI down off the roof of a club or helping the lil mom and pop restaurant just off base get transport for supplies when their truck broke down.

I spent so much time at that restaurant while I was at the base. I ate there at least once a day and would spend quite a few evenings sitting on the porch after they closed with the owners drinking the ridiculously strong beer or locally made rum. Their refried beans were the best I have ever had. Honestly their beans & tortillas with a bottle of homemade hot sauce is still a top 3 meal for me and I have been chasing the dragon trying to replicate the recipe.

One night I told them I was going to be in the field for a week playing OPFOR against my company. I joked around with the restaurant owners that it would be awesome if they delivered to the field.

2nd day in the field my team just finished up running a surprise ambush against one of the platoons. As the smoke from the HC smoke grenades was clearing out we could see a kid riding a horse. He spotted me and came over and dropped off a bag with refried beans, tortillas, hot sauce, beer, and fried platanos. He said his dad thought I would be hungry and laughed and headed off.

Greatest loving takeaway/delivery meal ever.

Funny thing is Houndouras was what lead to me moving to Australia since I dated an Aussie who was there. I know the country has changed, but gently caress I miss that place.

Sorry for the long rant, but that just poured out of my brain.

It’s honestly loving depressing that Covid has started up in NZ. NZ kind of gave us hope that we may be able to manage it sure we probably couldn’t do it, but at least there was hope.

To be fair, they got 4 new cases and jumped back up to stage 2/3 lockdowns in the same day. I'd say their second wave is gonna be a hiccup compared to the rest of the world.

NZ did 100% the right thing and went back into Stage 3 lockdown for Auckland, and Stage 2 everywhere else.

It's almost like they're taking it seriously.

Watch their 'wave 2' last 2-3 weeks tops while the current cases ride out their infections.

Meanwhile Australia plays endless whack-a-mole, noone can visit anyone due to not wanting to risk unknown infections, because wE nEeD tO kEeP tHe EcOnOmY oPeN

NSW should be in Stage 3 already.

Series of questions:

In the history of forever, we have not ever managed to find a vaccine for a coronavirus (is this right? I'm not a science guy)?

As much as we are super interested in finding a vaccine for this one right now, have we as a world not been pretty keen on doing so previously?

If previous two = true, how confident can we be that vaccine for covid19 is forthcoming?

If vaccine were not forthcoming, is repetitive wave forever (SARS and MERS are still kind of playing that pattern)?

Then what?

[edit]

What the hell is the pattern we look forward to if "we'll find a vaccine" != true?

Herd immunity through exposure over time. If you truly cannot vaccinate against covid-19 that may be it. Slowly expose everyone and sacrifice 1.5 percent of the planet, mostly olds.

Alternately, masks and distancing forever. Destroy the global economy, exist in pods and wage tribal war against other pods trying to steal your gasoline and bullets.

To be fair until now there has never been money in a coronavirus vaccine and medical research goes where the profit is.

I personally think herd immunity is unfortunately going to be the future since the open er up crowd don't give a gently caress about death or long term health impacts of it and just want to start making money again.

Those are the two opposite ends of the scale though. There's plenty of room in the middle for some damned good food and quite often the updated version can be just as good as (or better than) the original in a different way. For example the various styles of pizza around the world. I'm also thinking of the miserable fish and chips I had in the UK.

This is also true

Also I'm not saying I dislike the Cali burrito because they own, I just don't like when it's been hosed by some half arsed act of making it more appealing to "white people" ie cutting the spice and flavour out lol

So I just discovered what the extra sounds coming from my acoustic guitar are - sympathetic vibration. I never noticed it in any of my electric guitars (if it happened at all) and I like the way it sometimes resonates back through the body. It's like my guitar is singing back at me when I play it right. :kimchi:

I used to enjoy that one; with extra Juh-luhhh-peons and their hottest sauce;; the variance of what “hot” was got pretty annoying though.. then somehow we managed to get near unlimited deliveroo /Uber credits and managed to get sick of GyG.

I had that a couple of weeks ago trying to send a guitar in Melbourne.

Courier was booked for Friday.
Did not bother turning up.
Courier was rebooked for Monday.
Turned up in the ten minutes I took me to go to the chemist.
Courier was rebooked for Tuesday.
Turned up mid-morning complaining about having to knock on the door the previous day.

Add to that, years ago getting a guitar sent from Melbourne, the TNT truck arrived as I could see it 3m from my window, I was 1m away from the front door, watched truck leave again, hadn't even heard someone approach my door, get a 'could not deliver' notice.
Spent three days rebooking and they never turned up again, got driven out to the depot, took them almost half an hour to find a massive guitar case wrapped in black plastic.

Useless.

Yeah I deal with couriers everyday and the ones who are subbies or whatever get paid per delivery. It's not worth their time if a delievry takes longer than a minute so they don't bother, claim it an unsuccessful delivery and move on.
If they can't get a park directly out front of your door they won't even stop

Also we have cameras front and back so currently scrubbing the footage looking for these attemps
