Try getting a flight out! Himself has a couple dozen med students stuck in Brisbane desperate to leave. It’s either no flights/seats, or if available, at a premium price. Those beach goers better step on it, or they’re going to have quite the extended vacation! Last he mentioned, 3/31 is the last flight out.
I've got a friend who just got the last flight out from Delhi. Some of the locals there were getting very aggitated - mobs targeting Westerners. Last 24 hours before she got out she was behind armed guards with dogs in a secure hotel.
On advice she had a scarf covering her blonde hair on the drive to the airport. Huge relief when I finally got a txt saying safe arrival in Singapore/transit.

World has gone mad. More and worse to come no doubt as fear turns to anger

    One Shots are the flavors of a recipe already mixed for you; you just add base ingredients. Good way to get into diy actually.

    rightrightright... been calling them drop-ins for some reason, maybe the german effect... been doing that from the get-go actually.
    thanks for the clarification (and the hello over there earlier:))

    The idiots strike again. Every government around the world has been through the asking nicely phase and almost without exception they then have to go into enforced lockdown to deal with the nimnos....watch this space :)

    lockdown differs from place to place though. called my parents in AMman today; curfew there is more literal: everything's shut down and theyre saying 1year jail time for offenders.
    same deal of asking nicely first, only it doesn't seem ppl were exactly partying, idk if the kids kept at it, doubt it was worse than any you're sharing or the caricaturish nightclub outbreak in berlin... seems the idiocy consisted in a rush to stock-up right after they were asked to not leave home too much. sure problem there is some social groups that listen less to what sounds pedantic from the powers. not sure how it seems better in germany, i mean, aside from the party-on phase, this is the fourth time we couldn't find toilet paper, so i'm not sure one can say they haven't been panic shopping and stocking up.. the fiance even took a couple pics of bare shelves (after i'd shown her the ones you guys shared__ love how she simultaneously enables and judges me:vapor:)... she still only comes back with one bag of pasta, bless her mild soul.. we're watching walking dead everyday now to reactivate her survival of the fittest insticts:lol: (kidding, we're not really well stocked up).

    theyre spraying the streets sanitizing everything_ as in i saw them spraying the very asphalt heart of humanity_ is that actually useful??

    i'm sure it's obvious, but why are they targeting the palefaces again?

    Places that have had self quarantine longer than here are bound to have a population on edge. Most people are social by nature. I’m not particularly a “people person” F2F, but I’m getting a tad cranky, and I’m only at day 10. I apologize to y’all if it’s bleeding through here. Feel free to reach over the interwebs and slap me, hand me a snickers, whatever.

    “Last” dotaio is on order. Got a black SE this time. I think the silver sides make it a little easier to match up. Still trying to come to terms with the gold one, but it’s growing on me once I found a snazzy DT for it.

    I finally had an ancient istick 40 pass away. It’s been my bedtime reading companion for ages. I pulled out a voopoo mojo to replace it, but it’s going in the PIF pile. I can’t keep from fat fingering the up/down buttons. Nice small mod though, with a good weight to it. Someone else would (can) love it

    Himself and I have completely opposite internal clocks. He goes to sleep about three hours or so before I do. So, yes.... plenty curled up in bed internetting and ebook reading going on here after lights out.
    Love the sloth! I do agree with him, but I miss seeing other humans out in the wild :lol:

    The SE is what appeals to me the most, with those chrome sides. But I'm leaning towards the mech dotsquonk instead, maybe ;)

    I really considered it, but I have a bunch of mech squonkers. I just really like the dotaio. I probably would have bought less other shiny stuff if I’d found them earlier. The only downside to the SE is the chrome is a major fingerprint magnet.

    Yeah, I figured it would be. Lucky for me I'm fine with fingerprints - but OCD about wicking instead :facepalm:

    You have the tools to give it a brushed finish, fingerprints wouldn't be as glaring and you'd have the only one like it.:D Seems a good cabin fever project.
