I’m worried about steady food supplies for my grandpa. Going to be seeing if Shipd is a thing in Santa Rosa and seeing what he likes and needs.
120 pounds of dog food,13 pounds of cat food, about 2 months supply of dry goods and food, bleach, detergent, etc. replenished propane and ammunition stockpiles...basically normal preparation levels restored. It’s not paranoia at all, I didn’t even buy more guns!

I dunno, 100-150 bucks? I just had to furnish an entire kitchen so I'm already in the hole a bit.
Decide on a form factor then. An eastern or a western style, whichever feels better for you. If eastern, then Japanese chef knives are unparalleled. I’m personally using a higher end Tomodachi set (and I cook a lot) but Vertoku or Xituo are very good too. For western knives, Wusthof or Henckel is an excellent choice.

IIRC Costco has the Wüsthof and/or J.A. Henckles for a decent price.
So, just to take a quick moment and explain the difference between Japanese and German knives: handle, edge, bevel, weight and material. Japanese knives are single edged, straight handle, lightweight and made of harder steel. German knives have double edge, curved handles, are heavier and use softer steel. Depending on what you use the knife for the most - Japanese will not go dull longer but aren’t suitable for heavy duty meat hacking; they’re more of a scalpel type of knife. German knifes are the opposite, they’re super heavy duty but will dull quicker.

I took a few days off from here due to being busy and also just tired of the whining; felt good.
Couple of things to note and clarify-
1... rocket is clearly the epitome of what the argument was in the generational gaps thread. Entitlement, limited insight, and just poor form. Sorry dude. Many people have tried to encourage you to not talk about it but be about it. You just don’t. When you decide to lead from the front vs cry from the back let us know and we will support you.
2... seirenade, are you affiliated with EMS? You work at a grocery store, yet you are a Paramedic? Please clarify, all are welcome here.
3... unrelated to anyone in particular, if you have extra cash, I recommend buying stock in things like Ford, Norwegian Cruise Lines, pharm companies, airlines, and logistics companies. They are down bigly...When this corona stuff is done the market is going to bounce back. (Unless of course ol’ AR-14 dog face pony soldier wins the Presidency, we’ll see another Great Recession).

Wondering when a TV station will start playing episodes of The Last Ship? It might have the same effect as Orson Well's War Of The Worlds.

I signed up for OT, including Day Of (basically someone calls out sick, they call you in their place)... and I couldn't get any OT this last 4 day to save my life. I can usually get at least a 12hr shift, if not a full 24. A 36 isnt unheard of in normal circumstances... and I got zero hours... -_-
So so far it looks like we're safe from any mandatorys

The word is there are some pretty serious travel restrictions on the way. Peter Antevy shared on Twitter that the travel bans will be in place within a week.
hopefully the average American starts to take this seriously and stops treating the closures like a snow day. Now is not the time to go to chuck E Cheese and the movies...stay home and watch Disney +.

The first thing that pops into my head are the scenes in Outbreak of the National Guard rolling in. I'm sure if travel gets restricted that will ramp up the anxiety level of people. Even if it is best for the population.
