So is anyone as board as I am

I'm not saying I'm really borde but why does this bag of rice have 7662 grains of rice' and this bag only has 6932 grains.

Rice is perfect food if you're hungry, and you want a few thousand things to eat
- Mitch Hedberg

Also the correct spelling is bored, not borde. I assume it was a typo.

There’s a hole lotta bad spellers here

 

[kherg007]

Mispellings for shure.

 

[superstar_88]

Your and you're is not bad spelling. You're using the wrong word. Your and you are have totally different meanings. The English teachers in this country get an epic fail on this one.

I'm assuming it was intentional, for the sake of humor.

Shure made very good needle cartridges for record players.

Back in the day always preferred and have an Audio-Technica needle cartridge in my turntable....that hasn't been used in ages.

If I didnt misspell something in my post you guys would have nothing to talk about.

 

[thirdcup]

Careful. Your age is showing.

Shure made very good needle cartridges for record players.

It also means that my age is showing. I also happen to agree with you.

There's a difference between intentional and unintentional misuse

i did 5 gms and a hindu goddess appeared ( in my inward eye not literally) and embraced me with love as she changed shapes. I am fascinated at the possibility it was all real and not a mental construct. Crazy stuff, I would strongly advice an experienced sitter for first timers

That is fascinating.

So why is that? Why do we all share similar insights, mystical experiences and enlightenment even when separated by thousands of years?

I knew a person who died twice. First time was for 10 minutes no vitals as confirmed by their medical record. They said the tunnel experience which could have been the lights and the fading of neurons but also said they could feel love all over like they could touch it and was like a blanket. Something told this person their time is not done on this earth and came back. This happened in the 80s in a remote village where there was no social media to access other people death experiences. Why is it the same?

What I am trying to say is we are all connected to this source where consciousness comes from. Everyone can access it provided they are interested to understand, listen, learn, observe and follow the rabbit hole to the end of the tunnel. It available for everyone and connects us all and explains why we share similar mystical experiences. Scientists can’t even explain what consciousness is and how life first started. That very first cell division that started life and opened up the channel to our consciousness.

Like universe and all the matter and energy just doesn’t exist forever. There has to be a beginning point. Like a black hole when you cross the event horizon you approach infinity in time however the black hole itself fades over time due to hawking radiation. Just like explicit believers who believe in numbers believe and understand infinity but nobody has ever or will ever count and explicit all the numbers to infinity. So they believe in something that they don’t know to be true for a fact. Even infinity starts somewhere like the black hole event horizon.

Some people understand this source as god. Others call it oneness. However there is evidence all around us pointing to its existence just like the numbers point to the existence of infinity for the scientific explicit minded individual. Some individuals believe consciousness which is absolute nothingness gives matter and creates everything. Meaning this is all an illusion and we are part of the infinite division awakening and realizing itself to repeat the process again over and over again. How do we know it exists? Because of love, when we feel love we feel good. Just follow love and you will find god and the absolute, you will find your source, you will find yourself.

You're interesting.

And I agree. I've done a lot of work on being friends with myself and being comfortable in my own skin, and this makes alllll the difference in the world with how one copes with being alone or isolated.

I recall reading a line once that was something like this, "You spend more time with yourself than you do anyone else in your lifetime, you should try to get along". I took it to heart. Funny enough, all my other relationships improved after as well.

This is very true and manifest itself in everything we do, the people we meet and especially experiences we share. It’s like we are all connected. IDK but stuff like this is what makes life beautiful even in the worst of times.

 

[Josephine Grey]

Sitting at home like this is killing me. What are you guys doing to keep busy during isolation

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Is anyone else getting cabin fever??

 

[Jasmina]

That gave me the feels <3

[JeanGary Diablo]

Not getting cabin fever at all. Cleaned and disinfected my apartment and car today, went shopping before the hoarders hit the shelves, and since yesterday I've listened to Led Zeppelin's eight studio albums in succession. If you're an introvert as I am, this is a cakewalk. People can drain my energy quickly, so I am a recharged battery all the time now.

 

[riskybusiness]

Cabin fever getting to me. No gym or sports that I normally do and there's only so many times I can go for a walk.

Fatigue Will Be the Carrier of the Second Coronavirus Wave

https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/fatigue-carrier-second-coronavirus-wave-220016488.html

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Drastic global measures to keep populations apart and slow the spread of the coronavirus could remain in place for months. That’s posing the difficult question of how long hundreds of millions of us can keep this Herculean effort going.

The signs from Asia, where the disease first appeared, aren’t encouraging. China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan have been mobilized since January. The strain is showing, with complacency emerging as the first wave of infections ebbs. Imported cases are on the rise, raising the risk of a second wave. If that happens, President Xi Jinping’s celebrated visit to Wuhan this month may start to look as premature as U.S. President George W. Bush’s infamous “mission accomplished” speech in 2003.

No one knows the precise secret to sustaining good behavior in a pandemic of this scale and potential duration. Complicated ethical issues arise around personal freedoms and privacy. But we know from studies of past outbreaks, including severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002-03, that there are steps authorities can take, including communication and targeted financial support that allow everyone to act responsibly.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of individual conduct when vaccines are unavailable, the supply of antiviral drugs and ventilators is limited, and transmission of the virus can happen before symptoms set in. With carriers hard to spot, social distancing — staying home, in essence — is the single most effective means of holding back the spread, preventing hospitals from becoming overwhelmed and sliding into emergency triage. This was true during the Spanish Flu of 1918, and remains so. Consider the study released this week by Imperial College in London, which estimated that without controls and changes to individual behavior, 81% of the U.S. and British populations would get the novel coronavirus, resulting in 2.2 million American deaths and 510,000 in Great Britain. It was enough to prompt both governments to tighten measures.

Getting people to behave when danger is real and present isn’t as troublesome as getting them to act before and, especially, after the peak. That’s a problem when some risk may well remain until an effective vaccine is released — perhaps 18 months from now, meaning closures could continue in some form, or return intermittently.

Humans simply aren’t able to sustain a state of high vigilance. They falter. For doctors and nurses during SARS, and in China during the Covid-19 outbreak, fatigue proved deadly. It can prove fatal for the wider population too, as restrictions soften. Past pandemics show that second waves can be painful: During SARS, Toronto was declared free of local transmission, relaxed precautions and found a single hospital ward at the center of a second outbreak a week or so later.

So what does Asia’s experience tell countries that are just embarking on a period of indefinite shutdowns?

One is that patience eventually strains. The SARS experience put populations on alert in China, Singapore and particularly Hong Kong, as my colleague Nisha Gopalan has written. Yet that can encourage a belief that the current epidemic will, like SARS, ebb and disappear in the summer — possible, but not certain. Bars in central Hong Kong are no longer empty. Singapore has already warned against complacency.

Singapore and Hong Kong, trading cities that depend on the movement of people, are especially vulnerable once borders reopen. Neither experienced a real first wave of infections, so wouldn’t be on China’s war footing either.

We have also learned that coercion works — in the short term. It’s unclear whether it can be effective for long or indeed at all outside China, where drones monitored mask usage, roadblocks were put up and people with mild infections were separated from their families in mass isolation centers. Success in reducing infections doesn’t make such measures sustainable, or desirable.

This brings us back to personal conduct and responsibility. Culture may matter less than is often considered. Governments have to be trusted. That means being clear, transparent and speaking with one voice. Without good communication, authorities simply won’t be able to command the confidence of populations. That imperils their ability to tighten and loosen restrictions as the epidemic shifts, which is fundamental to easing the economic pain

Biking is helping me a lot, you can keep your distance and listen to a podcast or something while you do it. Went to Tommy Thompson today, it was great.

I've decided to deal with my boredom by pretending I'm a cat. They seem to love doing nothing.

So, I get up in the morning and stretch and eat my breakfast. Then I do my business, go outside, come in, clean myself, play with my toys, take a long nap, go outside again, clean myself again, dinner time, more toy playing, and finally bedtime.
