He hasn't logged onto RS since his post trying to justify he was allowed to go outside.

Urban Fare by Fairmont Pac Rim has Fleishmann’s quick rise yeast.

113g for $5.99

There’s 8 containers left

My point being people shouldn't be buying *any* useless shit they don't actually need online to reduce the risk to postal workers and reduce the load on the postal system so that things that actually matter like PPE and medications can get through the mail more quickly. Most people have more than one hobby, so if you run out of supplies for one just focus on another a little bit more for a while.

The government is already telling people to stay self-isolated at home. Now you want people to stop ordering what they feel they need to stay sane? That's a surefire way of having people break isolation protocol.

Hard disagree on that, sorry. Not much more to say other than I think you're wrong. CH28 made a good point too

So giving a fuck about postal workers is wrong but you can't figure out how?

What I'd like is for people to try and be considerate of everyone involved, think about whether you actually need something or just want it because you're bored, and remember that things ordered from the internet don't just magically appear. People who are dealing with the same stuff as everyone else have to get it to you at a time when things are already overloaded.

If you need to get yeast shipped halfway around the world your sanity was never going to make it anyways.

What is everyone's thoughts on people meeting in parking lots and chatting/eating/celebrating birthdays while maintaining social distances? Note that none of these examples are essential reasons to travel. It's not something I partake in personally, but I see a lot of it on social media.

It’s probably better to do it behind closed doors/backyards etc. Imo

Went over to a friends house had a couple beers today in his back yard zero contact with anything respected social distancing, can’t see from the street etc.

I’d say out in public like that ain’t a great example to others

I wonder if people have slowly got tired of self isolation.
I've been noticing more cars on the street in my work commute as of last week.
Yesterday, it almost felt like it was back to pre-covid19 days.

I was never able to work from home, but did offices suddenly open again for others?

I’ve personally seen a friend a couple times. But only 1, and he has done the same. Basically an extension to our “household.” In fact I told him to move in for a while as he’s bored as Hell and I have more projects at my place. Lol.

Did an s2s cruise today, on the way back, decided to turn right from W Georgia onto Denman. The amount of people walking around on the streets, and the amount of cars on the road, were so extreme that there was actually bumper to bumper traffic. It was insane.

Don't worry, they'll all be back home once a surge of infections hits the news in about 2 weeks

Denman was like that 2 weeks ago, that's why they did the whole close down Stanley Park thing, and also only allow resident traffic in certain streets. Obviously it hasn't helped.

^Last Sunday was very quiet during afternoon. Fast forward week later, today was quite busy on the roads. It's like people are fed up staying home and decided to come out today.

I've been biking a lot over these sunny days, went from Burnaby to do the seawall yesterday, David Lam Park was the busiest I've ever seen it in my life. I literally thought I was in the middle of a protest when I first turned the bend there, every spot on both sides of the grass were covered with groups of people hanging out.

It's what I said before, the minute it gets nice and warm out, good luck telling people to quarantine inside their homes.

It's not going to happen. The best IMHO is to plan around that fact.

Yea Bonny Henry said basically don’t plan on having weddings or sort of gathering through the summer ie. the PNE etc.

Big events like the fireworks etc won’t happen obviously because they are run by organizations but I reallllyyyyyyy doubt big gatherings are gonna stop through the summer. The PNE is 5+ months away.

does that mean you only buy water/canned food because most logistics/supply chain should be dedicated to PPE/meds right now?

your tea/booze/board game also didn't magically grow in the store

Empty parking lot had 10+ cars, with balloons, windows down, singing happy birthday.
Cars were spaced out and everyone stayed their cars

kinda sad but what can we do...
:tears:

People having literal weddings over Zoom now. What a time to be alive. We'll be talking about this for ages.

5 weeks now, longest I've gone without shaving. Hit everything with a 7mm clipper, trimmed away at about the adams apple and a bit of the scragglies on the cheeks, trimmed some of the mustache so it's not dipping into my mouth

I look 35% less homeless now SeemsGood

why can't i have a gf NOW and have a wedding now... falk.. "sorry honey, we can't fly to china for a whole yr, we can't have a reception now, we can't even have a banquet..".... so much money savedddddddddd ahhhaha

True, those banquets don't come cheap. And, would zoom guests still be obligated to bless your wedding with some prezzies :smug:

Your gf wouldn't let you have a zoom wedding and postpone it. Definitely not how she would have imagined her dream wedding to be like.

:troll:

Maintaining a consistent routine and energy has been a major challenge for me.

Recently bought a road bike and have been putting a lot of time in on that either alone or with the friend.
We read a paper about social distancing on a bike, and apparently need to be 20m apart... so we've actually been riding with masks.

I'm finding the sun exposure/exercise has really helped! We've been riding to a lot of scenic spots that I'd normally do in a car - Grouse Mountain, UBC, Iona Beach, QE Park, etc - some of which are closed if you have a car. I guess the big question is whether we'll be able to climb Cypress or Seymour at some point this season, but given that the roads are closed there's no better time to train.

^ so many people are buying bikes its not even funny. Crazyyyy how the sales are over the roof right now. It just sucks the rain is coming this week but I'm really happy people are getting outside. I'm goign to get my parents a bike to just get out. They don't have karaoke, no ping pong, no swimming, no calligraphy classes ... heck, I just bought my dad a ping pong table for his bday yesterday so he can have something to do.

There's only so much calligraphy you can do at home and their metabolism has gone down so much.. so they are unhappy with weight gains.
