beaches down here are crowded, but I don't think any more crowded than normal. Yesterday was probably the most crowded it's been surfing this summer so far. Luckily, still easy to keep my distance from people out in the water. Lots of restaurants are getting creative with outdoor seating setups, but stuff in Somers Point looks completely insane. This one place called "The Point" had their parking lot completely packed the other day. It's all outdoor dining on a beach on the bay, but the place isn't that big to accommodate all those people. I'll stick to grocery delivery/pickup and cooking at home, or takeout. Beer delivery has been great, too

bean bath?

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna 100% disagree with you on this one. Management at my job has, in my opinion, done an amazing job of setting the example that you can be (and are still expected to be) productive while working from home. If your job can reasonably easily be done remotely right now, why risk yourself, your family, and your coworkers' health by going into the office just to "set an example". Seems irresponsible to me and I'm glad I work somewhere that management recognizes this and doesn't expect us to go into an office before we feel comfortable with it under the tired guise of people being more productive under the watchful eye of management.

Yeah, there are very many different varieties to "Work from Home" right now. I had a pretty decent setup with a nice built-in desk in my den, a yoga ball that I use for a chair (which our office ergonomist told me was actually NOT good..), fast WiFi, and a dual monitor setup. However, we're in the middle of selling our house, and moving into the in-law's beach house until we find/close on a new house, so I have no dedicated workspace here. I'm currently sitting on an old couch in what is essentially the mud/beach room, next to a stroller and a shelf full of beach towels and whatnot because it's quiet, has steps that the kid can't get down on her own, and I still get decent wifi signal. We're gonna be here for a few months at least, so I need to get a proper desk set up again. Very glad/lucky I didn't have to deal with trying to educate a child throughout all of this, and that rose is not working full time right now.

Also, for those of us who have been working from home, it's not like we've just been on vacation for the past three months. A lot of people miss the social interaction they get in the office. A lot of people legitimately have an easier time doing their job from a dedicated off than from their house, for whatever reason. My job has been great about doing everything they can to help us be as efficient as possible while working from home. My internet connection is free, my manager ordered everyone on my team new secondary displays, I've been able to expense other miscellaneous electronics/desk supply type stuff, but it's still tough, especially with a toddler running around not really understanding what it means when I say I have to work now. I can't imagine households where both parents are working and also trying to be a homeschool teacher while also trying to cook three meals a day because your normal takeout spots are closed, all while keeping the house from turning into a garbage pit.

Right when this whole shit show started, buckmans sent out an email campaign advertising that they had facemasks/gaiters/necktubes/etc in stock. What was the main image in the email, you ask? One of those neoprene masks with nose and mouth holes, of course.

If yellowstone blows, september on is irrelevant. Nice knowing you all!

i feel so much dumber for having watched 56 seconds of that

Yikes, his must be pretty bad to require that extent of surgery. I've been diagnosed with a partially collapsed lung twice, and I'm pretty certain it happened a third time due to symptoms being identical, but I never got treatment for it. First one was during a lecture on a college visit while I was in highschool, and I thought i was having a heart attack. I was just sitting in a chair, and all of sudden felt the most pain I've ever felt on the left side of my chest, could barely even walk or climb up into my dad's truck. That one was the spontaneous pneumothorax. Second (and probably third) were both skiing related and totally my fault though. I got lucky and was on the borderline of whether I would need surgery, so the Dr gave me two weeks or so I had a few weeks of tests every other day or so to make sure my lung capacity was increasing, indicating the the "hole" was healing on its own. I got lucky, but I remember at the time really not being all that thrilled with the thought of surgery or having a tube sticking out of my ribs. It might take a while to get his lung capacity back up, but he'll bounce back.

I hope not! I was hoping on skiing on my birthday.

I find it very interesting that the olympics is shut down while NASCAR is trying to get back up and running ASAP.

Put some Donny dollas to work and picked up a pair of Jessie 96 demos for rose. $475 shipped, with bindings, and the topsheets and bases look pretty much brand new. If anyone has any holes in their quiver, they still have a decent inventory of leftovers, blems, and demos left. It’s not local, but they’re at least still handmade in the US, and they ski awesome.

Closer to high, actually. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. Tomorrow morning should be pretty fun. 3/2 and boots, no gloves or hood in may is A-OK by me. Only problem is the timing coincides with when the kiddo is wide awake and wants to do things and stuff, but that stuff isn't surfing because she can't swim yet 😂

the beach itself can be closed for all i care, as long as i can jog across it with a surfboard to get to the water.

That's been the case in philly for a while. Different parts of the city has true recycling; other parts it just ends up in a landfill, and you had no control over that, which sucks. They moved recycling pickup to every two weeks for us now. Our alley is getting pretty filled up in between pickups these days.

Only place that's really on my bucket list at this point is Big Snow American Dream. Where else am I gonna ski, get barreled, and buy a cinnabon all in the same place on my birthday in august?

wouldn't edibles be more appropriate than smoking, given the current situation? 🤔

Simpler times. It's amazing/disturbing how complicated the web development ecosystem has gotten. Sure, you can still have a website that uses nothing but plain ol' HTML, but if you're not using React, Redux, TypeScript, Webpack, AWS Lambdas, and prerending your content so it looks like it's just boring static HTML, are you really a web developer?

Does he have a computer? I assumed all of this was happening on an iphone. The UI for their online shop is so bad. For whatever reason, I had to re-sign the waiver, but rose didn't. It wasn't actually a signature or anything though, just a checkbox saying i read it.

i guess i should get on that

re: the pence photo, how tinfoily is it to think that he's not wearing a mask because he already had it and has recovered and thus now has immunity, and doesn't think he needs one?
