I am wondering if there are any artists here who have created a 3d roll of toilet paper.. so I can go ahead with my toilet paper apocolypse scene to capture these moments in our US history... what in the bleep is the deal with the TP here, I am still working on a 48 pack and have yet to go buy any throughout this whole thing.. On another note, I am glad I have DAZNyLand to turn to when I'm having a bout of cabin fever.
. Speaking of eating anything.. I have seen some folks at one point catch tadpoles in small puddles and eat them.. no thanks..tadpole soup 
mullein and marshmallow teas (good for respiratory system), Emergen C, Vitamin D3.. are my go tos for the immune system.. along with a protein shake a day
Healthy foods are great...when you can find them...and/or afford them. Eating healthy is not cheap for the average person who can't grow their own food or walk down the street to a co-op. A head of organic lettuce is, on a normal day, around $5. Organic chicken? Around $8 per pound. Organic free range eggs? $6 per dozen. Eating healthy is a luxury in New England. Even a plain old gallon of cow juice is pushing $4.
But anyways, we normally do eat fairly well. We buy some organic, and some not. A lot of whole grains, fruits, etc. We can't buy nuts because if we have them in the house we will eat them, lol. We shop sales, and our grocery bill is not cheap. To feed two adults on diets and a 20yo iguana (who is quite the diva, btw) on typical not junk (meaning we don't normally buy things like ramen and spaghetti-o's), we're spending around $200 - $250 per week. It would be a fraction of that if we bought and ate crap. But right now, in our current world state, we take what we can get. We're not being picky about anything, because at the end of the day, if it comes down to going hungry or eating spaghetti-o's, I'll eat the damn spaghetti-os.
It's also a good thing that I have large stockpile of supplements.
yep, see the worst of humanity on a daily basis now that I have to work on the front lines during this crisis. I have escorted a few out of the store for their behavior and it's starting to concern some of my employees the way customers are acting. Coming in sick, socializing in the store, not obeying rules, letting their kids run around touching everything, etc. I still see parents coimg in with their small children, all of them unprotected and going about business as usual, freakin idiots!
Someone actually stole the towels and toilet papar out of the restrooms, unreal.
had a customer hijack another customers cart while she was shopping because he was in a hurry and didn't want to expose himself longer than needed. I enjoyed kicking him out of the store!
I wish they'ed let me patrol the parking lot and deal with the losers that drop their used gloves and masks on the ground 
While I hate exposing myself daily, I am happy to still have a job with 10+ million unemployed in the U.S at the moment. Still doesn't condone bad behavior
Stezza has a modeling thread. He made a bunch of toilet paper related stuff, and hand sanitizer, and even a toilet-paper-robot.

I'm spending at least two more weeks in hosptal for a busted knee - seems that solid oak vs knee bone is a no-win for the knee. Step one on getting home is firing up the renderind desktop as this tablet won't run much beyond 20 yards.
LOve it!! I don't want to make lite of this, but a little litening up and humor is what I need. Being stuck in and also working at home.. turning your once haven of rest and peace into a stress pit can wear on a person.. Ill have to check that out.. just wondering where to find some 3d TP lol
..
This is what I find most concerning. The virus will run its course, possibly soon. The availability of food, though, is the thing that prevents home invasions. You can't just let the supermarket shelves go bare and say "It's for the virus."
It's my understanding based on our supply chain at work, the reason we are not getting the products we usually do is because of lack of employees for production and delivery either due to being sick or other reasons. Our warehouses have been shorting us items for weeks now despite our want to have the products. I doubt anyone is "letting" the shelves go bare.
I won't lie and say that's not something that also makes me lose sleep at night. If food becomes hard to find, people will turn to other means to get it.
I do have a freight train line that runs behind my house, and we've actually noticed more traffic than normal.
Most liquor (wiskey, vodka, gin, & tequila) is 80 proof (40% ABV) but there notable exceptions. Several are 100 proof. I perfer London Dry Gin that is 94.5 proof. Isopropll alcohol is different in it is made from propylene or acetone and rubbing alcohol is grain alcohol with an agent added (usually some sort of poison) to make it non-pottable. That is why I perefer using Everclear as it has no additives at all. I used to use it to clean out my ears when I wans younger to kill ear fungus from a lot of swimming and it is still one of the best disinfectants out there (alcohol is an organic solvent). It's expensive, though.

Based on the success rate we've had, the stores here still have plenty of stock. We've been able to purchase paper towels, hand soap, various meats, eggs, produce, fruit, bleach...normal stuff. In the beginning, the shelves were empty, but stores are now closing early and re-stocking afterwards. Those going earlier in the day will find more fully-stocked shelves because stocking is no longer happening during open hours. Finding delivery slots is becoming more and more difficult because companies like Instacart can't keep up with demand, but folks who go to actual stores here are definitely finding stuff. Nobody is fighting over the last can of beans. From what I've been told by my mother, who is the only one in my family going to the stores (until I can no longer secure delivery slots)(she's stubborn as a mule and nothing I can say will stop her from going to the store, even though she is extra careful when she does), the only problem is people not following the "stay the eff away from each other" rule.
...actually on one of my walks last week I sat at a small park for a while to rest. and the next time I took a walk (a day later), I again rested the feet for a bit at a different park. On neither occasion was I bothered or told to move along and that was after the article that I read was posted on the newspaper's site..
..here's mine:
...mind you not all together.
....yeah things seem to be easing up here finally, Thursday Morning I saw the first TP on the shelves here in three weeks (and was also the affordable "house brand" I usually get) so I picked up a 12 pack of double rolls just in case this extends longer. With what I still have left, I should be good into June (one of the benefits of living alone). If things haven't improved by then we are in deep trouble.
Well equipped, like warriors.
I am already started facing trouble. My broadband was 100 MBPS now it is a reduced plan. Daz deals under $3 was comfortable deals for me, now I am thinking thrice even for $1 deals. Finally I will look for food only to survive coronavirus if this continue six to seven months or more.
However due to lockdown and social distancing there is possibility it will last a long duration of period.
I came here this morning to reply to a post I read yesterday, and whad'ya know. It disappeared. I give up.
Wow! That is so overpriced for organic! Do you have a Trader Joe's where you live? It's sooo much cheaper! Not that much more than regular at all. If I remember correctly, a bag of organic pre-washed spinach is about $2.00 and change as are the organic baby carrots and pre-washed organic broccoli. The organic free range dozen eggs I think are a little over $4.00. I don't eat eggs all that much but I would never eat non-organic free range eggs! They torture the chickens and give them all sorts of hormones and antibiotics. I don't eat meat or chicken or cow milk at all so not sure about those prices. Organic almond milk I think is $1.69. A bag of 12 smallish organic Fuji apples was $3.99. Bananas, mango, oranges and grapefruit don't need to be organic supposedly because they have thick skin. All the frozen organic fruit was under $3.00 except Açaí. Organic yogurt is 69 cents more than regular but I get the large tub and that makes it cheaper. All the cheese at Trader Joe's including regular non-organic comes hormone-free from cows not given antibiotics or hormones as does the non-organic yogurt. (I'm not really sure what the difference is between organic and non-organic is unless the grass fed to the cows is not organic?)
Anyway, see if you have a Trader Joe's near you. They are great! They play cool rock music, have free coffee and daily samples (which stopped with Covid-19 though.) They have been great during the pandemic too, only letting in about 20 people at a time and making people stand outside the store 6 feet apart with blue mark tape. They don't charge for paper bags now and if people bring in their own recyclable bags, they have to fill them themselves because the employees aren't allowed to touch them. They were fully stocked last week except low on pasta and rice and out of paper towels (which I needed! ) but still had a few toilet paper six packs left.
Yes, we have a Trader Joe's. There is one about 30min away. It's massively overpriced and you have to fight with the hipsters for anything. My grocery bill would be even more. Not to mention the store is a fraction of the size of my local Market 32 so I wouldn't even be able to find everything on my list there. No thanks.
Good choices! I'm a sriracha sauce addict! Use it on almost everything, including mixed in cottage cheese, on eggs, in soup, salad dressing, and on popcorn (organic plain kernels, not the bags filled with chemicals! )
I also eat tons of fresh organic veggies but although I drink a lot socially, I have no interest in drinking alone so I haven't had an alcoholic beverage since March 8, which is unheard of for me lol! I was smoking a bit of cannabis before sleep every night (legal here!) but since I have asthma and Covid-19 attacks the lungs, I've stopped. I really miss it but edibles are super expensive and the dispensaries require a $50 minimum delivery and I'm sure expect a big tip. Way too expensive!
I also have Olbas bubble bath. We are on similar paths here...
Are you able to get THC oil since it is legal where you ar eat to make your own edibles?
It's very limited concerning sales of high THC content. Edibles are limited to 100mg so I doubt you can buy anything higher than that in any form. I had a machine to carboxilize the flowers to make your own edibles and oil but it stopped working after just a few uses. There are ways to do it in an oven but it seems complicated. Also you have to use a lot more for edibles so that gets expensive too. I had been going to parties/events where they often gave out sponsored free pre-rolls and I would save them and still have a few left. I hate doing it socially. It turns me into an idiot lol. But it's nice before sleep with headphones and relaxing music or ASMR...
Which "they" would that be? Any validated sources available? 'Cause here in Germany there seem to be different opinions about the value of simple masks against the virus. Some officials/medics seem to think they would help, others claim they would - due to getting moist when breathing through them - be an ideal reproduction ground for the virus, which then would be touched when the mask is taken off...
SoI would be very glad to see any validated sources by some specialists of virology or something about the usefullness of a mask made out of some cotton fabric or something...
This article references various research publications. Science is still divided on the issue, homemade masks are probably better than nothing according to some: https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-do-face-masks-work.html
Yeah, the stores here seem to have their shit together and they aren't putting up with hoarder bullpoopy. Which is awesome. The only problems I've heard about here (in Connecticut) is that some people don't care enough to keep their distance from others. Which is a problem. I'm not sure how the stores could help that, though. My mom told me today that the latest the stores are thinking of implementing are one-way aisles...which would involve taping arrows on the floor, I guess. But again, you'd still get entitled crap-trappers not following the rules because they don't care to.
...and if those aisles are too close to the checkout area (like at the Safeway down the street from me) the checkout queues end up snaking into the shopping aisles, particularly since the store put distancing measures.in place.
Maybe we need more controls like wolf259 mentioned.
Went to the store to pick up prescriptions for my parents (both over 85). About a medium crowd for that time of day. Pharmacy counter had the tape for distance, and folks followed the rules. Generally appeared to have good faith attempts to comply with the guidelines. Picked up some hard to get items while I was there. The big find was eggs. Not sure if this is a general problem, but we have not been able to get eggs when we have purchased through the same store online. That's the report of one time on one day in Dallas, Texas. Everyone be careful out there.
On the "how am I greeting the end of the world?" topic - I've decided to do another month of 3D-related tutorials. I've acquired quite a few, especially from Digital Art Live. I will try to do at least one session each day. A session usually lasts 1.5-2.0 hours.
My brother & his wife broke quarantine and zipped up town to the Wal-Mart for an "essentials" run they asked if there was anything I needed. Silly me, I asked for powdered milk, 3 pounds of unsalted pistachios, and a can of chocolate cake frosting, but forgot to ask for Kleenex and paper towels.
They reported that the store only had one entry and one exit door open but shelves all had at least something on them, perhaps not the brand or the quantity you wanted and there was some empty spaces around them but hey, I grew up in the '50s I remember when the stores usually only had about 4 types of candy bars and 6 types of breakfast cereal.
