We're supposed to fly from San Francisco to Denver next week but I suspect that might get canceled, the way things are going over here. At this rate, I'm wondering whether we'll still get to Australia/New Zealand in August or England in September... 👀
well, with us being all at home every day, all day long. usually only in the weekends, and those are different anyway.
Somebody on my facebook feed just suggested that supermarkets should just take the trolleys away. I know people will come up with some edge cases here, but I have to admit I found myself a bit annoyed with myself that I didn't think of that.
it does discriminate against people with more mouths to feed who aren't overbuying - it's going to be hard to shop for a family of even 4 for a week with just a basket
encouraging 'little and often' shopping is probably helpful for smoothing supply issues
but discriminates against the still working
and the immobile
and isn't great for social-distancing
@guy That's literally the most middle-class thing I have ever heard somebody say 😛
But yeah, edge cases for sure, but honestly I can't see checkout staff being especially motivated to get into arguments with people who think the rules don't apply to them. It's sad but some kind of mechanical solution is probably required.
They struggle to stop people stealing at the self checkout. Honour system to some degree, which is also problematic right now sadly.
as usual, if there are affordances for people with special needs, there will be bad agents who exploit this 😞
also: hi all. also stuck at home. got a hamster for company. forgot how noisy they are 😄
but after a closer look, it's female. can't decide whether I'll stick with Brian or rename to Brienne.
or reserve some hours of shopping in the morning for the elderly and check ID on everyone entering during that time
Several chains are doing this in the US. Opening early 7-9am just for seniors. That should be when the shelves are the most full. I don't know how it's working in practice.
i think sainsbury's is doing this now
my wife was telling me that the "senior hours" were super crowded, defeating at least one of the purposes of keeping them safe, I guess

It's a "typical" reaction of our gun-ridden culture, I'm afraid 😞
Folks need to stop worrying about toilet roll. In a week or two, probably less, the shelves will have a huge surplus of it for months; because nobody will be buying it anymore, as everyone has 3 months supply; it’s not like the whole of society is all of sudden going to the toilet 3x as often. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect Oversupply can obviously cause other problems too
@rickmoynihan Supply chains are fun! Damned by the bank if you have too much stock on hand, damned by the production line if you don’t have enough. I was working at Trebor Basset when foot and mouth broke out in the UK, that was fun! :
does bertie basset have a big reliance upon sheep/cows?
@ben.hammond It was more Jelly Babies etc
ah right Foot and Mouth interrupting the baby supply
do you have the inside scoop on why we only eat babies in this country @jasonbell? some other countries at least have the grace to wait until they are fully grown: https://www.google.com/search?q=seigdamer
it's that bloody Doctor Who's fault
@mccraigmccraig Alas I do not know, I just had order tons of them at a time.
I just read an (admittedly unverified) comment from somebody "within the system", who suggested that the BoE stopped at 0.1% today rather than 0% because there are some fears that it might break some old software.
