You up to date on your Last Will and Testament?

Thank you for your concern.

Is reddit considered a reliable source? Just asking, the only time I've ever been there I ended up reading posters telling about how great crystal meth was, and that it isn't as bad as it's made out to be.

I'm one of those people that have to see something up close and personal before I buy into it. Way too much propaganda out there in fantasy land.

Thank you for your concern.

You can leave me your Kubota, I'll take another one, then I'll have 3.......:laughing: All joking aside, I'd consider seriously staying home. I really don't want to see you contracting the Wuhan Flu.... and you don't want it either.

and you don't want it either.

From what I'm reading, the vast majority that get it feel kind of crappy for a few days, get over it and don't even realize they had it.

Kinda sucks if you die though.

Did I read that China is back to work and the supply chain is not still getting thinner?

Reddit is the wild west, you will see the whole range there. Kinda like this thread but no moderator and a huge number of posters. I read that its in the top ten websites by visitor count, worldwide. It's kind of like the random assortment of people you would see in a large city. Including many that you wouldn't want to pay attention to.

I found that chart in a forum dedicated to data charts. While there are loons posting, or more likely replying, in all the forums, in this one serious posts seem to outnumber nonsense by a wide margin because the posters are mostly students who are graphing what they researched, plus a broad spectrum of readers linking to something they found that they wish to share.

Data Is Beautiful

Take a look. I think nearly all the charts and at least the majority of the conversations about them are credible. Surely not all. Just keep a critical eye open for nonsense, 'trust but verify'.


As for other forums on Reddit - my pet peeve no matter what a thread topic is, is some kid will soon say 'hey that's just like this video game that I'll describe in detail' then the thread is buried with kids discussing that, instead of the topic they never heard of, out in reality, that the original poster wanted to talk about. Big PIA. Get off my lawn!

With all this going on about covid-19, I'm doing something positive to bring my spirits up, I'm cooking a roast with carrots and taters.

We had some big ole thick country ribs, corn off-the-cob and fresh broccoli for our meal today.....mmmmmmm. (and all produced within 100yds of the kitchen)

I'm having chicken soup tonight but the only thing which I raised was the chicken and the peas. Everything else came from the grocery store, which I bought while everyone else was stripping the shelves of toilet paper.
