Our .gov passed rules that non-essential travel is a $1k fine. 100% staying home now.

Who knows for how long, I'm really not hating it. :iono:
I'm certainly not either... I started playing guitar/bass this week again, which has been fun. I suck! But hopefully I can get a little better.

The wife has been driving me crazy though... she is starting to get in a really sour mood. She is working a ton, but outside of that just watches tv and scrolls social media. She will go on bike rides with me at least, but she needs to get some kind of hobby. Keeps talking about lawn/gardening but doesn't actually take action at all on anything. :rolleyes:
Yep.

I can stay busy in the garage and get things done. However, since she doesn't have any hobbies/projects or her own, every damn activity she wants to do she into a two person affair. I wound up locking myself in the garage last night to paint some engine parts and get some time to myself.

I like what Gates had to say about government needing more time to shuffle through processes to get started on these initiatives, his goal is to initiate the first steps so that when the .gov finally presses the GO button there first few hurdles are already overcome. This is why he is so successful and why I never knock OPs successes in life, especially when they are self made.

NJ will be confiscating PPE from businesses and individuals according to our .gov. Businesses need to submit inventories so they know how much to take. So yeah, .gov is definitely overreaching.

Instead of spending billions on illegals, maybe they should have had supplies ready? :iono:

Now turkey banned ages up to 20 year olds and 65+ :notbad: but anyone who doesn't wear a facemask will be fined if caught, of course no fucking around in outdoors isn't allowed. We are not dropping on deaths, hopefully it continues. Hope you guys are safe and sound!

I didn’t know NJ was buying jets and tanks. I’d be okay with that, if I can get a ride in one.

Nah dude, my bad for not being more specific. .gov is generally used for federal level.

Would be fantastic if they all just let god take the wheel on this one and see what happens to them.

I was asked to find masks for people who work in the data centers. I found masks at $3.12/piece with a 3 week lead time. How many do they want? 500. I suggested that maybe instead of spending over $1500 in these masks and waiting three weeks, we get rolls of blue shop towels, use the rubber bands and staples we have laying around, and have the janitors, who just had their hours cut, make the masks.

It was met with laughter.

Even though these masks aren't rated for medical use, I can't say I'm all too pleased with ordering these things when there are people in far greater need of them than those manning data centers.

That's exactly right.

Not paying your mortgage but paying the church? That's just irresponsible. No organization should force you to pay them before your normal life obligations (unless that organization is covering those obligations, I guess)

Not taking precautions or downplaying the threat of a virus like this because it's "god's plan" or whatever is also ridiculous IMO.
