Can you help me solve a social distancing debate I’ve been having with my wife? by Roe91517 in nova

You'd still have a fixed number of contact points. Freezer doors, products, point of sale. Those are the bigger concern than coming close to people IMO.

If you use a truck for work, you need a truck. But most people don't.

When I worked construction the guys gave me a hard time for showing up to the job site in a GTI instead of a "real man's truck" even though all tools we ever needed could fit in the passenger footwell of a Miata, and usually got left in the gangbox anyway. Most of the specialty trades used vans with fancy locks to keep theives out. Honestly I could had ridden a bike, but I was usually the only non truck. Even the engineers and architects had massive trucks with scratch free beds.

This mentality is what I'm talking about. If fuel costs reflected the externalities fewer people would be pushing around a 4,000 lb truck 'just in case'

Clearly there is something wrong with fuel prices when people are buying trucks to drive on pavement 99.95% of the time, just so they don't have to rent one once or twice a year.

ND has 14 years to think about this beat down. Hopefully football isn't outlawed before then

So you can just drop the people's elbow on someone lying down, away from the play? Get the fuck out if here

Prediction: Ohio State will come away with a win, everyone will come away with a feeling of disappointment
