How is it that those who bash people who are hoarding toilet paper on account of COVID-19 ... cannot see the actually reason for the hoarding ? The reason is that they will not have to leave their homes for toilet paper ...

 

i do not understand the stupid memes and insults associated with such hoarding ... when those who do the mocking do not even know the reason for the hoarding.

Damn, Doc.

I guess I better hop on a flight from NYC to West Palm Beach.

The issue is that people are only hoarding toilet paper because they are told everyone else is. Water, canned food, dried food would all seem like more logical things to hoard but the herd have decided toilet paper is the one thing you can't live without!?

and you know that how ?

 

besides ... toilet paper is not the only thing being hoarded ... contrary to your weird statement about canned food ... and i already explained why its hoarding would be helpful to those who wish to avoid contact with other people.

OK, pointless discussion on the web #6,456 but here we go. You were the one who said hoarding toilet paper made sense and people shouldn't mock it. The thing that we are all mocking is the fact that people are prioritizing toilet paper as the number one thing they can't live without if they are isolated. That's the item stores are running out of, not food, not water. I can't live without food or water, neither can you. I can live without toilet paper, I'd prefer not to but if I had none I wouldn't die.

 

So, you have to ask yourself why people have chosen this one item? The reason is because they are being told my media, their friends, that people are bulk buying it so others do too because "that must be a good idea". It's not a good idea, that's why people are mocking it. If people were panic buying everything (which, if they believe Armageddon is coming, they should) then we wouldn't be hearing/seeing the toilet roll famine of 2020.

I went out shopping last night (because it was shopping day) our local walmart was sold out of Toilet paper, paper towels, wet wipes, baby wipes, asprin, tylenol, bleach isle was bare, most sanitizing products are gone, ramen noodles were wiped out (what are we in college?) canned vegetables were running low... isopropyl alcohol was all gone, hydrogen peroixide was all gone...

 

i mean some of those things make sense, you are probably going to need pain meds if you get sick.. sanitizers are probably a good thing to have around but not hoard

How many asses are getting wiped? The mega pack I bought 2 times ago, lasted me from Aug 2018 to Aug 2019. The pack I just bought is on top of what I have left from what I bought a few months ago.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
