Depending on your taste in beer this could go here or in the coronavirus thread Busch is giving 3 months' worth of beer to people who adopt or foster a dog during coronavirus crisis for me it reads like no good deed goes unpunished

I'm really enjoying being at home all the time with nobody to bother me. If people weren't dying this would be a dream come true. Had to go hunting and gathering yesterday evening and had to hit 3 different stores just to get maybe 75% of what was on my list.

Ship me some ramen? Only thing left around here are brands I've never heard of and the occasional shrimp flavor in brands that I have heard of

It'd be helpful to have more info but yes, that is something you can do. Really though any sandboxing would be recommended going off of what you've provided but keep in mind these are just very general safe practices.- Coronavirus : Country readiness
After having to go to the grocery store a few times since this happened I think a lot of people just don't get it or don't care. Especially older folks who seem to have a harder time following the general recommendations. I've been telling my wife that it seems like people who seem to be over 55-60 seem to really be struggling with distancing and sneezing, coughing, and touching their face and everything else around them. She thought I was exaggerating but I just pointed to her mom as an example because we're struggling to get her to conform even though she's afraid of catching it. She went to the store for the first time last night and saw the same thing and how egregious it is. Maybe that's just a local issue but I somehow doubt it.- The TV and Streaming thread renewed
We still haven't bothered with the last 2 or 3 episodes and re-cancelled our sub a few weeks back. Still have access for another month because of them giving it away but not sure if we'll even bother after reading what happens.- Today - what you've done
That's kinda how it is here too Wife and I are/were both sick but they didn't test us because we weren't in a riskier category being somewhat youngish (comparatively) and moderately healthyish. Was told to just assume I had it and act accordingly and come back if I felt I needed to.- What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread
It says you can keep him alive in the wiki as well but I can't manage it I've tried it with a sword and with a machine gun and I just can't keep him from dying. I guess I'm going to just have to let him die- What Are You Playing Now: The Other, Other Thread
Bloodlines, how do I keep Zhao alive? Even with celerity he's dead almost instantly. Is there a trick to it or something?- The Best Musical or Comedy Drama Action Film thread (THIS IS THE GENERAL MOVIE STUFF THREAD)
I still thought it was funny but felt that a lot of the more crude humor was often times a little outdated and wouldn't be found in a lighthearted PG-13 comedy today. But maybe I'm overthinking it and as I said, it doesn't hurt my enjoyment of the film.- Coronavirus : Country readiness
^Just because My county issued an order to shelter in place that goes into effect tomorrow. They're doing even bigger fines and longer jail time than Denver but their exemptions are so broadly defined, and purposefully so, that I think you'd actually have to try to run afoul of the law. Still such a restrictive order backed up with substantial punishment (I know some people need the stick) rubs me, and those standing near me, the wrong way right in the freedom. For the Greater Good.- Coronavirus : Country readiness

Spent the morning looking for a second job but nothing really jumping out at me at the moment and I can no longer dance down at the Rusty Nail for reasons I can't legally disclose. Now I'm eating a microwaved chimichanga- Coronavirus : Country readiness
I'd expect a lot of that to come- Weird - Random - Interesting
At least when I'm up really high there's probably not any sharks trying to eat me. Probably. Though I am that much closer to lightning. Days like this I wish lightning sharks didn't exist.- Today - what you've done
This whole mess wouldn't be so bad if the new Star Trek was any good. But it's not so things really suck right now. Thanks to Gromnir for the opera link, it really kept my MiL occupied and it's nice to have one less thing to worry about. Denver went on lockdown but the idiot mayor caused a huge panic when he announced that liqour stores and dispensaries weren't essential. Didn't take long for that to get reversed. Glad I live in Lakewood for once because something about a thousand dollar fine for breaking the order doesn't sit right with me even though I agree with the order.- Today - what you've done
Conference calls all day and then my wife got laid off The small business she works for just couldn't survive any longer without customers- unpopular gaming opinions - here's mine, share yours
Not sure that's gaming related either- Weird - Random - Interesting

I can relate. I was excited to work from home at first because I thought it'd be video games and catching up on shows. No babysitter means I'm trying to watch my son while working but he makes it impossible to watch him and get anything else done at the same time. Wife and mother in law are here as well but MiL can't do as much because of her health problems and my wife is juggling school and work am the while wondering if she'll still have a job if this continues for much longer. Still wouldn't be so bad if only we weren't also both sick and also having completely incompatible work environment preferences. I like it darker and generally quiet and my wife has the TV blasting and every single light around her on. MiL then gets on her laptop or phone and tries to compete with the TV all the while yelling at whoever she's talking to on Skype.- The TV and Streaming thread renewed
I doubt it'll ever be folded into Disney Plus because they need a place to put off brand stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually gets rebranded though. I use Hulu a lot because it has live TV but I hate that even the no commercial tier has commercials. Obviously, this is for the on demand stuff and not the live stuff. - Virtual PC
