1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

it would be nice to get 2 weeks off considering we are outpatient; HIGHLY doubt ill get that benefit. My neighbor gets to work from home for the next 2 weeks and I'm jelly lol

 

Honestly, a very wise choice.

Might have to get some cans of my own to mount in the bed while out or keep on my porch while home for now to be safe

 

Oh ok that makes sense.

 

Like it never happened.

Center caps never matched so no worries there. A tad bit glossier than the others, but it should dull down with time.

 

Smart on their part at this point, and good on you for sticking to home workouts. We stopped going to our local gym and even our apartment gym a week ago. Sucks not staying active, but not worth the risk like u said with how nasty places are

 

Bad actors and cyber attacks on U.S. Health Agencies.

My office is closed through the end of month. I often work from home during nights and weekends. I miss my good dual monitor setup at the office. I may go spring for a new curved panel Dell monitor. The problem is the new monitors are USB-C and my KVM switch supports older home computers. I'm cramped for space at home. Details, details, details,.

 

Doesnt the axle move back on compression?

 

Well that's new, just got to work lady at the front desk was fired for stealing hand sanitizer, soap and toilet paper. My boss who's an ass here lately told me to lock the storage unit down. So I asked an armed guard to watch it while I get a door with a dead bolt. And some beefy angle iron lol company credit card time.

 

Let me/us know how you like the Scepters in a year's time although Wavians are tried and true

 

I honestly think the panic buying will blow over, or it'll plateau is probably a more accurate way of putting it. Because this pandemic isn't going away anytime soon, we're only at the very beginning of this whole ordeal (as far as people getting infected/sick). But the panic buying will level off if a week or two and it'll be *relatively* normal again. It has to at some point.

yeah if it weren't for the fact that we're dealing with a common flu symptom like virus I'd be shitting my pants lol. But as it stands, it's the panic that scares me the most. Not knowing how the general public around you is going to react tomorrow and fearing the whole herd/mob mentality of it. And the resulting impact on the economy, jobs, housing, etc.

If this were like a vaccine resistant strain of smallpox emerging and spreading like wildfire I would well and truly be terrified, luckily (at least) most of us will come out of this just fine health-wise.

 

What’s going on with your wife’s studio?

 

Still operational as of today, since both of them are located in different cities within LA county (not within the city of LA itself). Both Glendale and La Canada have not officially told fitness studios to close yet. We suspect they will though soon enough.

 

The thing about the panic buying that makes it really stupid is that the supply line hasn’t been destroyed. Toilet paper manufactures and food makers are still going to be sending out product, and these idiots are going to be left with product they can’t return and expired food.

 

I can’t imagine many people are coming in during a time like this. How is your work doing? My company is basically dead for the time being.

 

Welp, REI closed all their stores until the end of the month.

Guess that makes my local bike shops happy to take my money instead haha.

 

Turns off “Outbreak”

 

Yeah she's had smaller classes but honestly her class offerings have always been relatively small (12 people tops) because Pilates uses specific equipment (called Reformers) for each student and those take up a lot of space and are ridiculously expensive, like $8k per Reformer.
I don't think she's been selling out as many classes but people are still coming in. The ones that would come regularly still are for the most part. She's done what most biz owners have been doing and been trying to reassure clients that they're cleaning well and taking measures. Also, they're stressing that pilates is different than yoga or the gym in that you are always about 8ft away from the person next to you because of how the Reformers are set up.

My company is still going on like normal really, although it has seemed like more and more people aren't coming in every day lol. I think that may have a lot to do with the schools closing and some people needing to stay home with their kids. We don't deal with the public at all here face to face. But we do have a HQ in China and it's been shut down for months now which has hurt the business. Not sure what tomorrow brings but I'm fairly confident I'll be here still unless shit goes really south.

 

Is everyone expecting the virus to disappear in the next two weeks?

 

Idk, my rear wheels have always sat pretty far back ever since I got the truck.
