More info on new meds being developed, this one at UBC

I was trying to avoid Costco at all costs but I needed a new car battery and a few other things I like from Costco so went today.

I give Costco huge credit as they have seemingly been ahead of the social distancing, wiping down carts, organizing lines for tills etc. Everywhere else I’ve been such as Lowe’s, Canadian tire, save on etc have been shit shows with no one providing guidance etc.

All the “small” stores aren’t equal and frankly you really see these days how shit the quality is of the produce of some of the small ma and pa stores people go to to save a dime. The difference between say a Donald’s and the small Asian Grocer beside them is stark and I’d probably rather go without produce than buy most of theirs.

The issue with small stores is that there isn't enough space to respect physical distance. I would say that in my experience in shopping during the pandemic is that probably only half of the people in stores actually are consciously keeping their distance. I hate to say it, but
older folks have been the most oblivious. Costco is big enough so you can avoid others. They also have a very good supply chain, so you can pretty much get everything you need as long as you go early enough during the day.

Now with the chief medical officer giving the go ahead with masks, what I fear is that people will put on masks and not respect physical distancing, which still remains the most effective way to prevent the spread.

Prejudice plus power. Where have I heard that nonsense before?
Certainly not an "alt right" concept.

I think if there's anyone (by virtue of observation only) Hondaracer is the only person who goes through car batteries like no tomorrow, and almost always gets it from that cesspool Costco. What are you doing to your cars? Running a grow op out of them?

Chinese diplomat sends angry (and hypocritical) letter to Daily Telegraph, so they responded with a point-by-point takedown. A model for how the world should react to Chinese diplomatic tantrums.

Lol

Problem recently is going through different cars and buying batteries for them and then selling them. G37 seemingly had the original OEM battery or at the very least an old Nissan replacement (no install date or manufacturer date on it) so It was an AC Delco from Lordco or the Kirkland for $30 cheaper so opted for that

But maybe you’re on to somthing lol

Clearly I'm doing something wrong. I'll have to start buying batteries for my cars (not from Costco, nice try, Hondaracer!) and selling the cars immediately. :D

^^ Trump just bullies his way and it works I guess. I wonder with CoVID19 hitting the states so hard how's voting going to work? Will will see record low voters turn out this year?

Nice so Canada gets the good quality ones while the US is stuck with the crappy ones that have to get sent back LUL

Order a hoodie for my wife and myself. Going to wear it when we go grocery shopping once it arrive.

The other replies are cool, but the one you screenshot isn't exactly cool. But I suppose dark humour is like a mask, not everyone gets it.
If it's one of 3M's factories, I wouldn't be too worried about the quality. Things like iPhone are made in China so things can be good if there are QA in place.

There were probably tens of thousands of no name brands/factories that popped up after the demand rose, so governments just ordered from whoever that had anything. Supposedly the Chinese government is trying to implement some QA before they are exported. I would think they are taking it more seriously since it's has to do with a country's image.

The woman from this story hated her husband and has a voting record long supporting Democrats? They decide to twist Trump's words and he ends up dead? Fishy indeed.
The Orange Man Bad crowd would rather this drug fail and people die, in order to dunk on Trump.

will she allow you to wear it?

Too close to reality to go in the joke thread:

What the lamestream media is neglecting to cover in regards to ppe is that China bought up massive amounts of it internationally, before other government's had any idea how far this would spread.
and now China is essentially the only major supplier :suspicious:
China's thumb. Firmly placed.

Bruh. Regardless.. this guy tried to cut us off when we support their ass in every major event. :rukidding: All i got is 3 words.

"The north remembers"

Chinese wet market reopens still selling bats, dogs and cats.

Yeah I didn't pick the best one, just the one I thought some people would like LUL

As for 3M from China yes I know... China can manufacture as high or low quality as anyone in the world, it's just a matter of paying enough, and trusting they keep the standards once they're not being watched. Once again I was j/k. I guess my humor isn't resonating this morning FeelsBadMan

call up the dealership they may pricematch the large retailers to get business
typically 60 mos prorated too

About time we issue tickets? 700 warnings is quite excessive after three weeks of the same message of staying home. I tend to worry when the weather is nice knowing everyone has this bright idea of all showing up at the same parks and beaches.

By February Crystal Mall and Richmond were ghost towns and all the Asians were already sporting face masks. I think that gets overlooked.

I'm really tired of these people who are just out and about enjoying the weather in large groups, warnings are just litter, start handing out actual tickets, they love handing out useless VIs so why not when it makes sense
