The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Hope none of you have coughed recently. Keep metaling and stuff. Also, if someone wants to swap out my santa hat for a surgical mask, that'd be dope.
 
I cough every day, but honestly it's getting annoying. Not that long ago I used to stand in line at the shops and cough to hide a fart, these days I fart to hide my cough.

Im pretty much in the middle of the shit every day, being a grocery store deli clerk (being considered "essential personnel" here, unless I myself get the virus I don't get to stay home), so I'm pretty high-risk.

That being said, even before the pandemic I've always been an animal at hand-washing, glove-changing (at work), and surface-cleaning of objects I know I'll touch (one of my OCD quirks), so I'm not as worried I'll get it as most would be but I've been taking precautions regardless.

We do have a guy in my town though from a Pokemon Go Discord server I used to be in (left his Discord, started my own, but still have eyes in his) that just got back from Cuba a week ago, and he's been refusing to self-isolate, so there's that. He's notorious for approaching people's vehicles so I've been advising people in my server to at the very least, if they insist on playing, keep their windows up and to not leave their cars under any circumstances.

I've already had to out him to my store owner/boss, and now we have people on door duty, denying people entry if they recently left the country and aren't isolating.

Put my new guitar strings to good use, tuned to C#, and played along to Plague - Portal Into Reality
Forgot how much fun it is to play guitar.
A buddy of mine in NY told me I can have his mini Marshall amp (It's at his parents house and they still live in Springfield)
Still have my distortion pedal, Randall RG 13. So I'm stoked!

Fucking ran out of toilet paper. Can't even make this shit up.

Thankfully, I have a shit ton of baby wipes. Emphasis on shit ton.

I also have a home gym, so I don't gotta shrink as long as I'm lifting.
 
toilet paper situation is actually fine here now, most places seem p well stocked and ive got a couple of 24 packs that should last a while despite my dubious metabolism

still struggling to find stuff like pasta or rice though

also someone at my work who was chatting with us in close proximity yesterday is now self isolating because his sister may have the virus, good stuff
 
Southern heat is coming in strong here in Georgia/Tennessee, and its barely the tip of the heat wave dick. Expecting the Summer time to be absolutely abysmal.
 
We expected that here last summer, but summer came early and many parts in the north were experiencing summer like temps 3 months prior to summer. Then came the bushfires which started 2 months before summer. But Summer was not as hot and dry as they predicted. We still had hot days but not as many as usual and in many parts of the south they had unprecedented rain which came down from the tropics. The entire weather system is balls up these days.
 
The weather shifts here have been fucking crazy as hell. Its been a typical consistency as of this week.

How humid is it out there in AUS? I'm guessing that dry air increases the chances of bushfires.

Its consistently humid down here in the Southeastern US.

The weather has been shifting for years. I remember 20 years ago some scientist suggested we needed to move the seasons as we know them to suit the weather.

Different parts of the country suffer vastly different humidity. Some areas are a very dry heat, some can be very humid. We had several days this summer where the humidity was so bad the tiles on the floor of the kitchen felt like they were sweating, but the temps weren't super high (95-100). Up north towards the tropics it's often humid and sticky, whereas over in CiGland it's more often a dry heat.

Bushfires are non discriminatory, they can burn happily in all weather. Dry conditions often create ideal places for lightning strikes to start fires, but incompetence and stupid can start them anywhere. Most of the large bushfires here create their own weather patterns so they really aren't fussy.
 
Its the same down here
We barely hit cold temps. I think the coldest we got was like a 7-10°F? (Dunno the celsius conversion of that.)

And that makes sense; I forget that humans can also be a source of wildfires; I should know better than to think otherwise:p
