Now that my short term bonds will yield zero (in US), where to invest fiat?
In toilet paper. |

Anyone thinking of going to NL to get pissed/stoned or whatever had better hurry up. NL is closing all bars, sex shops and coffee shops from tonight.

Mum says get your arse back in the damn bunker before she has to break out the paddle.
They both committed suicide after being driven mad playing Hawaiian Christmas by Wout Steenhuis and the Kontikis on an endless loop to protect me. I presume it's playing now but my brain has tuned it out. Ok. I'll check back in 2040. I thought you lived in your mom's basement like the rest of us. |

What's it like under lockdown? Are there shortages of things in the shops when you go out to buy food? |
|
|
|
Maybe Ill go to Holland tomorrow.
hmmm
The TP situation seems to have stabilized here, people are done stocking up and there's plenty. So you are most welcome to come take a shit here. How long did the shortages last? |

Interesting times indeed.
Centuries to come and the history books will tell about the 2020 Worldwide Toilet Paper Crisis. No mention of the virus though.
They say newspaper sales are in a steep decline. I bet sales shoot up if this toilet paper crisis continues. If it gets worse people will be wiping their arses on history books after the newspapers run out. |

Stores are being stripped here good today.. They are madhouses..
My freezers and cupboards are packed..
ah, so you're one of the people hoarding up all the toilet paper. people in my facebook feed are showing pictures of empty shelves at supermarkets.  I went for a shit in the supermarket and someone had even stolen all the toilet paper from the toilet. Bastards. |

Did you manage to get any toilet rolls? They are like gold dust down our way. |

I really want to buy back (at least one part of me) but the other part of me says we are at the beginning of this mess and this might go a lot worse than what it already is. (that part is responsible for the $4k+ sell order) I know you don't want to hear that kind of shit here. If I am wrong I'll lose an opportunity of my life but if my instincts are right, I'll be lucky to save my initial investment.  https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/how-much-recession-warning-did-you-expectI deleted a post giving advice because what the fuck do I know. I usually try not to give advice because nobody can predict the future. |

Guys look at the master races who dont use toilet paper at all but a so called bidet  How do you get your arse dry afterwards? Do they have an arse dryer like a hot air hand dryer? yes. some also come with deodorizing filters, but with the ones ive encountered the filter always seems to be broken or defective. so im told. Do they stink the room out if the filter's broken? Are they as useless as the public toilet hand dryers? Most people end out wiping their wet hands on their jeans in public toilets because the dryers are crap. If the bidet dryers are as bad what do you wipe your arse on to dry it fast if there's no toilet paper available? |

I'm printing paper wallets on toilet paper now.
It's the virus times version of Casascius coins
But that only works if you have toilet paper on hand. If you're fresh out and you call around and find the nearest tissue paper is at a store hundreds or thousands of miles away, you can simply drive to a closer ATM and get several sheets to wipe. Here in the US, that may be 20 bucks per wipe, but you do what you got to do.

2013 - 2017 - 2021.
Expecting moon in 2020 was always just hopium.

Don't you have a nice house? I guess you have. Invite your friend and order make the best mexican food available.
ftfy Isn't Bawb a Gen Xer? While he may not be an ambitious Boomer, neither is he an Uber-lazy Millennial incapable of cooking for himself. He could try making some real carnitas, the basis of the best tacos. ____ Cut 4-5 lbs good fatty skin-on bone-in pork shoulder into 3" pieces after removing and reserving the skin. Salt liberally, and fry in enough lard to cover. Don't skimp on the lard. After it's a nice brown add about a cup of orange juice (preferably fresh-squeezed, 3/4 cup of Coca Cola (preferably non-HFCS Mexi-Coke) and 1/2 cup evaporated milk along with a whole large onion, a few cloves of garlic, the juice of a couple of limes and a herb bundle. Oregano and bay leaves are standard. No cilantro though. That goes on later with chopped raw onions as a condiment. Likewise no chilies. Place skin on top and cover. After it is back up to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil (just over a simmer), and cook for at least a few hours (or overnight) until the juices are reduced to a thick gravy, enough to keep the meat moist while basically frying in the lard again. The meat should be super tender and moist, similar to what Americans call pulled pork. Serve by cutting the pork, a chunk at a time, and some of the skin, into small pieces across the grain and piling on freshly made (or at least reheated) corn tortillas garnished with chopped raw onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, salsa verde (mmm, chili de arbol), etc. Leftovers can be frozen and reheated by frying in a little of the lard and moistening with a little of the juice. The bulk of the lard can be reserved, frozen and used for your next batch. ___ These are not to be confused with TV-cooking-show/foodie website/Youtube bullshit. These are real Mexican carnitas, cooked the way experienced Mexican mamas and vendors make them. They're best made in a heavy cast iron pot but a good stainless steel stockpot with a thick enough embedded aluminum bottom will do. Ideally they should be made over an open fire.  Agreed. Even if this is the result it's better than catching the virus.  |

Don't order anything what kind of an advice is this!?!? Don't interact with anybody! And I am saying this as someone who sees more than 100 different people everyday. If that shit spreads here I am done. +1 Cook the tacos yourself even if they end out like this.  |

Where we going at  I dunno, brother. All I know is Rick wants to go out for TexMex tonight with a friend that is in town. I don't feel like driving downtown in my baby, parking at his office, and having the chance of our Uber driver being all coughing and sneezing. Probably just drive ourselves to the restaurant, and ditch the Uber; end up in a restaurant filled with coughing people eating tacos with hot-sauce, sneezing pico de gallo everywhere. Sheeit. I picked a bad time to have anxiety/depression. I'd be more worried about the person making your taco coughing his guts out all over it. I'm giving restaurants a miss until this virus outbreak is over. |

Guys, sorry for saying this but fuck crypto.
We are all going to die if they don't fix this shit soon. (or we'll wish we are dead) There are far more important shit going on and bitcoin's price is the last thing I am worried about right now. A lot changed in the last 24 hour.
Buy back in if it goes below what you sold at, then hodl for a year. |

On a lighter note, I found toilet paper - 6 hours drive from home in another country where the farmers don't panic because they're already used to feast or famine. I'm pretty certain they still have all their Bitcoin too.
Damn you guys typed a lot yesterday.
A 6 hours drive for TP? It would have been quicker, easier and cheaper to install a bidet. Just do giant shits. The splashback will do the same job a bidet does.  |
