        It’s funny how in The Walking Dead they never ran into a bog roll issue. I’m assuming they just shat in the woods and used leaves [emoji848] makes you wonder what people used before tp was invented

              The thing is, the markets will calm. Things are just crazy now because of what people are reading/seeing in the news and they think that they won’t get arse wipe again. Rest assured, these items will fill the shelves again. Suppliers have had to adjust to meet sudden demand and I’m sure they’re all working overtime to get there. I’m fully stocked on tp and paper towels, so I’m not gonna buy anymore because it’s selfish and silly. If I’m out and about and my ex-wife texts me to get some for her I’d do that but no more for me.

                    It actually is. If you look up the simple bidets sold on amazon (the kind where you install a bypass into your toilets water supply) they’re all gone

                      @DougNg:

                      A worthwhile read if you want a starting point for being on your own:

                      https://www.amazon.com/Sentinel-Become-Charge-Protection-Detail/dp/1475960492/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1QFNPIO7NWXOQ&keywords=sentinel+pat+mcnamara&qid=1584545060&sprefix=the+sentinel+by+pat%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1

                      I think covid19 is a timely wake up call for anyone that thinks it's acceptable to be incompetent at feeding/sheltering/defending their family.

                      If you look for "Basic Dude Stuff" on Youtube by Pat Mac it's a worthwhile way to spend a few minutes. I think he's got four of them, and he tries to be funny about it.

                      I don't have any desire to shoot people in the face, but I sure as shit have the ability and capacity to leave nothing but a smoldering crater if you try to take the food I've reserved for my granddaughter. I'll be damned if she misses a single meal because I wasn't capable.

                      And not talking shit like "I'll beat someone to death with a baseball bat" when they haven't even hit a baseball in 20 years, I mean they're going to need to repave the road outside by the time I'm satisfied.

                      Man am I glad to not live in the country you are living.

                      Aaaand the point just went over your head

                      Nevermind

                        LOL!  My comment was a complete joke, but I also can't say I'm surprised.

                            I’m not convinced either. You’re ring piece gets wet and you’ll still need tp to dry. Amirite?

                              Yes u will need to dry up but you will never be as clean as you are with JUST paper. I mean rubbing your ass with dry paper is so last year.

                              I have an attachment and it’s great

                              Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    It's ok to admit you're bi(det) curious.

                                        1692 influenza attributable (laboratory tested) in ENGLAND in the 2018/19 influenza season. This is Government data shared with us at work. For perspective at this stage.

                                        I think one of the many potential positives of global Government's isolation strategies is the option to measure reductions in pollution due to hugely reduced transportation.

                                        The benefits of living more frugally on our households, the emphasised focus on just how important direct human contact is.

                                        I really hope that we use this potential to become a kinder, more considerate species, and change our current trajectory.

                                          I agree with @DougNg that there's almost certainly something major to be learned by looking at Singapore. Although I don't think the mainstream media are lying per se, they are relaying "official communication". "Official communication" in turn serves multiple purposes, some of which are political. For example in Europe the media:

                                          1. Complained that Trump's banning travel from EU was useless and spiteful, when it was almost certainly partially useful. In fact European countries have mostly adopted a total ban now.

                                          2. Claim that masks have absolutely zero usefulness for most people when in fact it almost certainly have some usefulness, even if it's not perfect. The fact that there weren't enough stock to supply even the hospitals certainly had something to do with this message.

                                          Maintaining a reasonably skeptical attitude, an active mind is healthy.

                                            travel bans are NEVER useless and spiteful.

                                            one of the reasons why Singapore kept its numbers low was when the news first broke about. the wuhan virus as it was known (at that time). they swiftly move to ban Chinese foreign nationals. from entering AND/OR transiting through the country. the list was slowly updated to include countries that started experiencing a spike in cases such as South Korea, Iran and most recently UK, French, German,  Spanish and Italian passports. That was how they stayed ahead of the curve compared to whatever the media is recommending right now.

                                            i also seem to see a lot of news of selfish people ignoring mandatory self isolation orders in Australia simply because they couldn't care less or believed it was impossible to police. What Singapore did to ensure people are compliant was to make use of technology and get those affected to send location from mobile phone, take photos and videos or surrounds or random home visits etc.

                                            talk about staying ahead of the curve and keeping numbers low.

                                            Australia has finally decided to ban travellers of all nationalities from entering from friday onwards. let's see if they can follow what Singapore has been doing and stay ahead. The only tough factor for returning citizens and residents is that being so far away, it might be hard to find a flight home.
