Fuck it's raining. It should not be raining.

Nasty. Super hot here too but thankfully not raining. It's not suppose to stay in the positives for long so we should be ok.

It's weird how carbs will totally fill you up despite being empty calories. Had a couple left over timbits from yesterday with my coffee this morning. Still not hungry. I feel like a carb diet could be an actual thing, the trick is you eat a small amount first thing in the morning and then you fast the rest of the day because you're not hungry! I need to patent this.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I should probably still eat something though.... I think I'll just make soup.

I'm always surprised when morons panic and drink Purell or bathe in a tub full of bleach. Ignorance truly is the seed of fear.

It's morans:

Carbs make me ravenously hungry.

Actually, maybe it's just eating in general that makes me hungry.

I know if I go without food for a day or two it no longer hurts, and I don't really feel hungry.

Lunch break nef.

So turns out everyone at work got this sickness too. One of my coworkers ended up going home as he was getting mad fever.

 

[sdifox]

Covit-19 in Timmins? :awe:

 

[EliteRetard]

Turns out two people I live with were infected with COVID-19 (only now realized what it was)
The virus has been in Washington for quite a while. Weeks before the first death.
They pretty much had uncontrollable dry cough and very mild fever for a few weeks.
Nobody knew the virus was here, must've picked it up at work (big campus lots of internationals).

I was not affected, but to date I've been immune to almost everything.

Those are the first ones to croak

"Those"?

Are you saying this about my housemates or me?
Just clarifying.

You. People that don't get sick means their immune system haven't had to fight infections..

Ha!

It's because my immune system is insanely overpowered that I don't get sick.
I grew up in a sewer, and I always lick everything I touch.
I also eat other peoples leftovers and garbage.
I also suffer filthy cuts/injuries frequently.

I'm certainly going to die from severe body malfunction, not a bacteria/virus.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Not really, assuming those people are not doing anything more drastic than others they are still being exposed to the same things. It's just their immune systems are better and don't react as harshly towards those things and fight it off more easily.

Down to my lowest weight in over 20 years. Weighed myself this morning. 158 lbs.

I was checking the spelling on molder as in, "John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave", and google returned wood shapers.

I have a rental car while my car is being repaired. I called to extend the rental by a week. The rental place could find no record of me renting the car. I gave them my name - nope. Confirmation number - nope. Plate number - nope, car wasn't even showing in their system. So I asked if I could just keep the car then. They found the car.

Been meaning to try to break out of my water heater rental. It's an old style gas one with metal exhaust and pilot light. 40% efficient at best. You can get these for under a grand new. Since I owned the house I paid over $2,000 for it. Called to see what the buy out is and they want $398! However, if I tell them to come pick it up it's free to break out of the contract. The part I find messed up is that there is no freaking way they are actually going to just give that to another customer when it's over 10 years old, it will most likely be scrapped. I highly doubt they will get $300 for it at the scrap yard. It's nuts that they want that much money for the buyout.

What I will do though is buy an electric one, they are cheap and super easy to install. I'll install it and then take the rental one out and have them come pick it up. If I feel the electric costs too much to run, I will then get a tankless and connect it after the electric unit and turn the electric one off. You typically want a holding tank before a tankless heater anyway as the incoming water is too cold. It will also act as a backup. A tankless will run me over 2 grand probably so while it does make it seem like I may as well keep renting, I have to remember it will be more efficient, and if I wanted to rent a tankless they would be charging way more I'm sure. So yeah, summer job I guess. I'm thinking the electric might not even cost that much to run. My sister just moved into a house that has an electric I should ask her if she sees a bigger hydro bill.

why would you buy electric? one person, just go gas tankless. it doesn't have to be over 2k

Oh gas tankless is on the agenda but they are expensive. If I go that route I want a good condensing one, they are super efficient. 2 pipes, like a furnace, so no vaccum sucking your conditioned air outside.

So might do electric first since I need a holding tank anyway, then I'll decide if I want to do tankless too. I could save by doing install myself (got quoted for 7k to install) but would still need to hire out gas line (about 2k). I don't have the threading tools to do it myself and rather not touch gas anyway.

one person, you will never recover the cost difference.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That's kinda my argument for electric, I might not even see a big enough dent in my hydro bill to bother going tankless. And since I need a holding tank anyway... may as well just do that part first. Those things are 6kw though. But I guess it's not like it's running all the time, and I can insulate the crap out of it.
