1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

yeah I think that's where we're likely headed or similar. I would like to still retain the ability to get out in nature if I choose to go on a hike or wheel a trail, but I understand they can't make it a case by case basis per person.

 

Yeah brother, thanks for asking.

Was a bit nerve wrecking going all over town to get stuff for my FIL, not to mention filling up the 6 5-gallon jugs of water for him.

I'm glad his food is replenished; the SO decided to come over and chill for awhile and brought our dog with her.

She's knocked out as well as Luna since we've been up since 6am hitting a ton of stores.

 

People started panic buying fuel today because of the Earthquakes....

 

That happens out here too. That sucks though, on top of the virus panic now people are hoarding other resources they normally wouldn't think to.

I need to fill up today and was going to fill up my jerry cans too, just to have. Being in CA we're always under threat of an earthquake lol.

 

They think the refineries are down I guess, they aren’t. I’m currently full, so that’s good.

 

That reminds me I have a 7 gallon water jug for camping in my storage shed, I should fill that up lol.

Good to hear you were able to take care of your FIL

 

what would the purpose be of getting more gas if we are confined to home? Just curious, not trynna be an ass.

I've been considering buying a couple cans and filling but haven't seen that "immediate need" yet

 

Any word from the MIL?

 

Generators, or if shit hits the fan for real, gtfo of town

 

ahhhh I c the generators point. Fuckin in an apartment so that flew over my head, my bad.

GTFO of town or shit hitting the fan would be a good point, guess I'll start looking

 

Eh, if you don’t live on the edge of a very populated area I’d buy some good shoes.

Roads would be nearly impossible to navigate if something happened. In my opinion anyway

 

Just what nobody needs, earthquakes near a copper company's poisonous tailing pond

 

man, we get baby wipes for my daughter that have no chemicals in them, just water basically...called Water Wipes. Figured they were exempt from the panic buying because they don't have anti-bacterial properties, but nope. People are now buying up baby wipes with just fucking water in them now too, wtf lol.

Had to order a bunch more before these idiots take these off the shelves indefinitely as well as everything else

 

u think the 5 lug would be limited to the road huh lols

 

bc the tp hasn't been restocked. Me and the gf are even buying makeup wipes for our asses if needed at that point.

Whatever works, shit sucks sadly like you said

 

I appreciate you guys getting makeup wipes though, at least it's not going to hurt anyone that much if they can't get makeup wipes for their makeup. People stockpiling baby wipes though are making it difficult for the parents that need them

At the end of the day though it's not as important as say, diapers or baby food. But still

 

thanks for that, was looking for the flushable wipes but nothing.

Makeup wipes are insane tho, 2 dollars for 7 wipes at frys the other day haha

 

yeah the water baby wipes are expensive too for something that's basically...well...a wet napkin lol. But it's all my wife wants us to use, so I can't argue

 

Similar to the hoarding bottled water thing, I don't get the GTFO thing, or the buying of firearms, etc... I can't see a realistic scenario where towns and cities are being invaded by hoards of infected people like it's the zombie apocalypse, and there being a need to run away to the hills or need to fight off a hoard of invaders or whatever.

Less than 100 people have died from this (in the US), and they've all been old or immunecompromised. While any death is unfortunate, we need to keep in mind the statistics, and how small a proportion 100 people actually is. This isn't affecting the municipal water supply or the power grid.

What we have are people being irrational and buying up all the TP and water, which then creates a false sense of panic among everyone else who just needs to wipe their ass, they freak out too.

 

Yeah, I was down to a quarter tank this afternoon and don't really have anywhere to be for a while but decided to fill up anyways just in case
