:iono: I am a very social person, but I am talking on the phone for work, have done video chats/calls with friends/family, it's really not all that bad and is a way cheaper/healthier way to socialize than ze bar.

It's not the best... but it can be nice. It depends on who I'm talking to, some it's fine, others :nope: on the phone.

It makes since its for a tier 3 gasoline project that provides additional capacity. That we don't need, because, like using way less gas. But on 2 year timescales...maybe we do?
The unofficial word is that the official word will come down tomorrow that the job I was referencing is going away. Another job of mine is ending at the end of the month. the other one, much longer term, is on partial hold and im not forcast to have a ton of hours on it over the summer.

I can see this. You're stuck in close confines with the same person 24/7. Wife and I rarely fight and have been starting to bicker more and more. It'll never escalate to anything physical, but I can see how it could for some shitbags.
We're definitely bickering.

Plus she wants the :dong: and I have no interest given my stress level. :iono:

Interest or stress won't matter if you take one of those, you'll have no choice but to work her out just to make it go down for 20 minutes.

Oh wow, this is fantastic. I'm going to consider one of these if we do more off the grid stuff.

Everyone should have backup off the grid communications.
I've realized that I'm far less prepared than I thought I was. Wake up call.

THing with all the preppers is like... your entire basement could be filled with cans of food, but if shit hits the fan, what will you do when month three rolls around? You'll still be fucked.

If it really gets that bad, I'll just off myself. I doubt it ever will though.

I mean... the current situation sucks but like... we all still pretty much have a long list of luxuries and accessibility to all sorts of shit with ease.

Hunting, fishing, and farming are all parts of proper prepping. Food doesn’t have to come from a can.

Edit: City folk will be fucked. Country folk will just keep on keeping on.
