Sensible preperations within the home and avoiding panic buying [merged]

[ollyboro]

Just popped to a Heron store for some pegs. You can't have enough pegs in a crisis. Overhead comment from a bloke queuing at the next till: "I'm not paying any bills until this is over. I'm just going to keep topping up with essentials". Heron didn't have any pegs, so I bought two sixteen packs of paracetamol, to help me feel a part of the whole shitshow.

Paracetamol has run out in my town. There's a Facebook C19 Support Group where you offer dog walking or other favours[nb]Wanking, fisting (with disposable gloves) etc[/nb] to people who are vulnerable or self isolating. I have hundreds of blister packs of in-date co-codamol hoarded by a recently deceased old lady. It's an OTC medicine I believe, 8mg codeine and 500mg paracetamol and I'd be happy to get rid of it to anyone who needs it locally but I think I'd be on dodgy ground legally, wouldn't I?

I've got some tinned ripe jackfruit what I bought when I didn't know there was both young and ripe jackfruit (that was an interesting biryani), is there any thing I can do with it aside from eat it out the can and drink the syrup?

- Hand cream. I didn't realise how thin and dry the skin wa on the back of my hands until I started washing them eight times a day. Hand cream has really saved me from developing fucked up cornflake hands. They are normally very soft because I never worked hard in my life.

So that's what hand cream is for.

Buckets: to keep your cum in

When all this is done they should do a study to work out if more harm was done having everyone stay home compared to going out and catching covid. I think we all know what the answer would be.

Going to be interesting to see what websites report abnormally larger traffic.

Pornhub have apparently given free premium access to the Italians 'cos they're in lockdown.

I'm looking forward to the news articles where they have to subtly hint to everyone to lay off the porn a bit during the day so that the economy can keep running.

No, its a pharmacy medication, so you can give it to people as long as you are not selling it for profit. Although I'd be use caution as even 8/500 co-codamol is a drug of abuse.

There's probably a divide between ad-supported and ad-free services as to whether it is good for them. Ad-supported (Pornhub, itv etc) will be loving it, but Netflix and iplayer will be needing to scale up virtual infrastructure to provide more to mostly existing subscribers.

Hold on, what?

He murdered an old lady and then took her Solpadine Plus. Obviously.

Judging by today, all the diligently non-panic buying social isolating people trying to play by the rules will end up getting more exposure than they would have had under normal conditions, as they trudge round five supermarkets each day to see which of the items on their list they can get this time.

She.  Janie's a she.  She murdered an old lady...

Carnation evaporated milk in the cupboards now.  As a 70s pov kid I am unreasonably excited about pouring this over my tinned fruit, to the extent I'm saving it for when I'm ill for a morale boost.

[Buelligan]

I hope you've got tinned fruit salad with those weird soft flavourless greyish-pink "cherries".  It must be done properly.

[imitationleather]

Cor. It'd be like Nan was giving me pudding from beyond the grave.

[shiftwork2]

I have the full array of tinned fruit, including the mysterious and rather exotic 'fruit cocktail'.  In syrup as well.  SYRUP FOR STRENGTH.

[Buelligan]

Syrup for baldies, you mean.

Had to resort to buying that weird scented bog roll today, but the weird little newsagent I get it from had plenty in stock.

Also bought some sanitary towels and rice and put them in the box for the food bank. Had no trouble buying food at all.

I see people are only just starting to panic-buy booze now. What the fuck is wrong with people?

I'm seriously tempted to sign up to one of those monthly wine subscriptions where the first £50 is free that Amazon slip in with their parcels.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Naked wines suspending orders. FUCK.

Have we had "save on toilet paper by wanking into a sock" yet?

[purlieu]

It's what every sensible willy-owner does anyway.

Most home workers will be using far less bandwidth than peak evening streaming time so I don't see the fuss.

One of my colleagues had wank upload, that's more of a problem for him although unrelated to contention.

If contention is an issue it's because your isp is being tight. I think Netflix work like akamai and have caches at the isp level so it's not even traveling all over the Internet.
