When I was living up there, the salmon you could buy in stores was definitely more expensive than it should have been considering I could walk 100 feet away and fish it out of the water. I'm not sure what the crab prices were since I only ever caught my own, but I imagine its the same situation. That being said, we did have local canneries so I'm not sure there's any shipping to and from Seattle going on. At least not where I lived.

The problem, however, is that it's not just themselves that they're endangering. Sure, we have the right to shun people who might have gotten themselves infected, but that's hard unless they wear a giant sign saying "I gather in large groups every week I'm probably infected." The fact of the matter is that people still have to go outside sometimes, even with distancing recommendations in place. Cutting down on the number of people that are able to gather in large numbers helps to make sure that when people do go outside, they're less likely to encounter infected people (and, by extension, to become infected and risk infecting other people).

These regulations aren't to protect individuals, they're to protect society. Yes, society is made up of individuals and the regulations require actions and sacrifices on the part of individuals, but it's a mistake to think of this in terms of telling people not to endanger themselves. This is much, much bigger than that, and the more people comply with the recommendations/requirements, the more lives are going to be saved.

Isn't it though? The people who are compromised for whatever reason, old age, immunocompromised, etc. can choose to sequester themselves largely from society. Even something as simple as the common cold can very easily be deadly to someone in that position. In order for those people to be infected, they would also have to make a choice to interact with potentially infected people. Before anyone says it, I get why this virus is dangerous. Asymptomatic, incubation periods, etc. I get that. But the concern here is for the people who are compromised in some way. The death rate for otherwise healthy individuals appears to be inconsequentially low, though the data is still being collected.

Now lets talk about lives saved. I think at some point we actually have to have a conversation about the worth of a human life. I know its easy to talk in platitudes about how every life is priceless, etc. but that's really not true. If this virus was only a concern for say, people with MS, we definitely would not be shuttering the economy for them. But let's assume the estimated number of deaths from the virus is half of what it currently is. Do we still take the same approach to preventing the spread? At what point do we say, 'You know, this isn't a big enough problem to be concerned about'.

I find it concerning that so many people are in favor of what effectively amounts to minor martial law. Partial law? People in California and similar states are being arrested and/or fined for being out in public. Just the other day a guy was arrested for paddle boarding out in the ocean completely by himself. That absolutely upsets me and I think it should upset everyone.

I hate to trudge out the same old Franklin quote that's been used a thousand times, but it's more important now than it ever was - "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety".

I'm not defending people making dumbass decisions. But I am defending their right to make their dumbass decisions. If the result of their decisions is their selves dying and possibly infecting other people? I think I could live with that. I would also note that I think anyone willingly spreading the virus, akin to having aids and not telling a sexual partner or whatever, should absolutely be a crime. And a severe one. Otherwise, I think the people should be free to make their own decisions.

I think there's going to be a number of lawsuits resulting from the government mandated lock downs. You have a ton of businesses and people who are being personally and professionally damaged from their respective lock downs. As stated earlier, it absolutely is a right that we have as american citizens to peaceably assemble as well as the other inferred and enumerated rights we have.

Whether or not the courts will agree, time will tell. But plenty of people will have reason to be aggrieved by this. Not the least of which the people who are imprisoned or fined for 'violating' the protective order.

I believe, in principle, that everyone should have the right to their own bodily autonomy and frankly the right to make idiotic and stupid decisions. You also have the right to shun those people from society and disassociate yourselves from them for potentially being exposed to stupid viruses. As long as no one is forcing them to go to their dumbass church service, they should be able to make that decision to potentially kill themselves.

Yes, those people are then capable of going around and infecting other people. But it's also, in my opinion, the decision of the people who are potentially interacting with those idiots as well. If I want to ride a motorcycle, I have to concede the idea that I have a significantly increased likelihood of dying by doing so and not of my own fault. But I make that decision when I go out onto the road. Likewise I think in the midst of the pandemic we're all making a conscious decision to potentially expose ourselves to COVID every time we leave the house and its up to us to make sure we're doing everything in our power to prevent ourselves from being infected.

Having said that, I don't personally have a problem with staying in quarantine but I can certainly understand why someone might.

I'd like to add one thing, if someone kills themselves out of loneliness or whatever from the lock down, is that death then the responsibility of the government for enacting the lock down?

If you have a smallish yard, maybe under .2 acres, you can pretty easily go with a battery operated mower. I bought one for my smaller place. Super light, easy to use, never need gas. Having a spare battery is useful just in case though. But if you do go electric, I would say don't bother with self propelled. Its gonna kill the battery more quickly and for as light as the things are, you really don't need it.

I should also note that the electric mower I bought was a Ryobi that used the same 40v battery on all their lawn tools so I also have their blower/trimmer/edger/whatever tool too. Works great.

Be aware that for really ridiculous reasons (at least one) it takes upwards of five headshots to kill a single zombie.

Rather than reducing the amount of ammunition they gave us, they increased the amount of damage the zombies can take. The least they could have done is given us options.

That's been the case since they started allowing you to manually aim in the series. There's not really any other way to do it considering its incredibly easy to aim in these games.

Is your resume just a list of jobs and job titles? Because it's not about length it's about content, anything more descript than a list is taking a lot longer than you're saying. Then there's formatting which can be time consuming. Hell I think it'd take me 10 minutes to retype my resume even if I had a printed copy next to me, you're definitely not typing a whole page from nothing in that time frame.

You might have an outline in 10 minutes if you know exactly what you're doing, but making something professional and presentable is a real undertaking.

He ain't writing Shakespeare here guy. He's just fulfilling an employment requirement. Besides, at his skill level really no one cares about a resume or CV. Depending on the situation, I limit my resume to the past five years of work plus any other relevant positions for what I'm applying for. Your most recent/relevant job is where you prioritize enumerating your experience and then the others you can basically bullet your tasks.

I have a strong feeling that if you evict anyone and their rent was like 60 days late there is no way they would pay any of it. The fees alone would be turning those late rents up to an insane proportion. 5% a day in loan form is considered a predatory loan, now in late fees maybe it's within the rules but just pointing out how insane that type of fee is when it accumulates for 60 days.

I meant to say a month. Don't know how I fucked that up. But 5-10% is pretty standard for late fees. To date I've never charged anyone a late fee though and I'm certainly less inclined if they text me and say, 'Hey I get paid on the 5th is it alright if I pay it then?'.

In any case, if someone were to try and dishonestly pull that shit on me I would have to evict them. At the very least, their deposit will cover me for the 30 odd days it would take for a standard eviction. If I had to go after them for additional debt after that, I guess I could but I'd most likely just eat it and ding their credit if it was less than a month or two of rent. Fortunately the courts aren't closed down here yet so I doubt I'll have to deal with it for some time.

I own some rentals and my tenants will be paying rent according to my conversations with them. I'm not a monster who's trying to fleece them but I still have to pay my mortgage too. If my bank tells me I don't have to pay my mortgage for some amount of time, then I'm happy to pass that luxury on to my tenants.

In the mean time, I do have a late rent clause. If a tenant isn't paying rent for whatever reason, it amounts to something like 5% per day its late which would very quickly add up to a lot of money. I may or may not be able to evict them now, but they'd be owing me a lot of money in the end and their credit rating as well as future renting opportunities would be fucked. That be said, I would do everything in my power to prevent that from happening. It's a last resort.
