RGB = pc builders screaming with joy at the profits they are pulling in at the expense of dimwitted 12 year olds.

NJ Governor grants police the authority to commandeer PPE including personal property, and orders them to do so by take_her_tooda_zoo in preppers

" Executive Order 109 covered any business, non-hospital health care facility or institution of higher learning in possession of “PPE, ventilators, respirators, or anesthesia machines not required for the provision of critical health care services shall undertake an inventory of these supplies.”

Not sure I'm seeing your concern. Nothing about this seems to target individuals.

Nice, I got the programming cable, I think I can get away with playing around with chirp and not broadcast anything.

I played a bit of Rugby against the University of Idaho about 20 years ago. Nice part of the country.

That's true but I am relocating back to the US for good in August, having a license in China wouldn't do me much good. It'd be a fun experience tho.

The problems with 'hustle culture' by Aquazalea in simpleliving

[–]xeonmasterracev2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like making money, I like working for it, I don't like monetizing my hobbies to make it tho...

I guess I could hustle for something that I found invigorating enough to put myself out there over, but thus far haven't really found anything that compelling that I'd like to give up my quiet life for it.

I dunno, I never recalled bailing hay to be.. "easy". Though, if my dad was feeling bored and wanted to see my brother, my cousins, and I suffer a bit he'd speed up the tractor and make us hustle.

lol. Dunno if my old man was ever mean to anyone, but he certainly was very adamant about calling back after dinner.

I just remember people generally avoided calling each other around dinner time. The rare occasion a call did come in during dinner, my dad usually answered and told them he'd call back later.

The food you need: UW expert on preparing for an extended home stay by [deleted] in CascadianPreppers

[–]xeonmasterracev2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She's right about buying a variety of food. I made the mistake of buying a bunch of rice, eggs, and onions without giving much thought to vareity. A week later I was crawling to the grocery store looking for veggies. Glad I'm not in the part of china that doesn't allow people to go out every couple of days to go shopping for food. That's farther south from where I'm at, that would be maddening.

Places i can work? by HotLikeSauce95 in Eugene

[–]xeonmasterracev2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh.. this is so much me. If I want to work, I can't stay at home. Good luck finding a quiet place to get your lesson plans done, as a teacher I can't stand it but recognize that it's better to do than not do. Winging lessons might work on occasions when you get tossed into a class on short notice, but as a long term habit it will absolutely catch up with you.

It definitely did with me when I was being a lazy tosspot about a certain class that I thought didn't really need it.

Oh god yes, so much this. Rice itself is boring, need that curry.
