Youre right. It's a good time to enhance my cooking skills. I'll bet we all come out as chef after this pandemic.

I don't watch it, but I'm thinking you'll want at least as many bathrooms as there are people doing the challenge.

I have that but I got used to it... lol... I've stepped it up to crushed Carolina Reapers for everyday use but the hottest I have is called Meet Your Maker Retribution sauce. Came in a little black coffin... 7+ million scoville, I haven't opened it... don't dare to... and the bottle has a nice wax seal

Our two daughters actually joined so that makes 4 of us with only 3 bathrooms. :badpokerface:

The 5 y/o just had salt and pepper wings but it made him feel as though he participated as well :thumbsup:

Wow.. got used to Da Bomb... I’ve had much hotter in terms of scoville units that don’t compare with the evil contained in that tiny jar.. maybe it’s just the taste though too. Evil hot garbage lol.

100%, I would think the aftermath is worse than eating the wings.

Nothing will change after this is all over.

History repeats, and always will

@ $4/each?

spoon.ek9 04-14-2020 11:45 PM

more expensive than that unfortunately but better than having none

I think the lesson gov needs to learn is not to rely on other countries/nations to provide essential products when you need it (PPE, food) you need to make your own country is able to produce them and also I can see more people buying local produce groceries and to support local restaurants. One thing I read is that a lot of countries is stopping the export of grocery (grain, rice, vegetables) out to other countries so grocery might see an increase is price overall for the next little while. I also read Africa is having food shortage issue as well due to locust swarms

canada has been notorious when it comes to sending away our raw materials and buying it back as finished products. we definitely need to be manufacturing more of our own shit.

Right on!

I can't believe we aren't manufacturing more finished products. We have the resources. With disasters occurring regularly, companies that manufacture safety equipment and whatnot need to start popping up. There's a real need.

Aging population - start making shit they need right here.

Forest fires - start making equipment and develop technologies needed to help fight the fires right here.

Diseases popping up every month now - start making PPE right here.

Global warming - come up with viable solutions right here.

Polution - develop bio-degradable containers right here.

Food shortage - develop ways to harvest and grow crops more efficiently right here.

The list goes on. The forest industry, natural gas, ocean products. Hell, if we have an overabundance of predatory species of fish, like mackerel, the natural enemy of the salmon. Find ways of promoting the consumption of them. Or find other uses, like fertilizer............. oh, I know. Spread a rumour that Mackerel found off the coast of BC has magical healing powers and sell that shit to the people over there (you know where).

Anyway, easier said than done.

a prime example is selling our water to Nestle for dirt cheap and buying it back as bottled water :facepalm:

GLOW 04-15-2020 11:31 AM

aren't we basically giving it away for free? like $1 for the sake of a transaction?

That's a worldwide issue.

The last time I checked Nestle was paying more than other industrial water users though. The issue should be how cheap we're selling it to everyone, not just them.

spoon.ek9 04-15-2020 12:31 PM

It's a giant topic of discussion all on it's own. Anyways, that was just one example. There are plenty of things that Canada sells as raw materials rather than manufacturing (thereby creating jobs/industry) and finding ways to profit from them.

Mr.HappySilp 04-16-2020 05:32 AM

I could see more people ordering stuff through the internet even grocery shopping.

I haven't try it but any people have started using online options buying grocery. Is great for them but I still like the option of picking my own vegetables and meat. I did however started buying shoes online which is something I never done before because I want to try them to see of the for or if I need to go size up. So I can put rely on camera and review to get a picture of the shoes comfort and the size. Good thing shipping is free and is on sales otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

I imagine Rogers Arena will have alternating empty seats between each spectator. Same for every sporting event and movie theatre in North America. So seating capacity in Rogers Arena for Canucks games will be 9455 instead of 18,910.
But before that, there may be empty arenas for hockey for a while.

2 feet apart really isn't all that different from shoulder to shoulder when they're saying 6' min for social distancing now.

When able to resume, professional sports will likely be played without any spectators in the arena, and live streamed for fans to watch.

How does every owner make money if no ticket sales? Charge for live streaming? I could see this happen for a full season at least.

Yeah maybe you should try it rather than skirting your 10 day self-isolation to shop in public.

Asshole.
