You’re not a felon until after you’re convicted. Until then you’re just a sparkling nogoodnik.

(Please pardon if the joke falls flat, I’m in a queer mood.)

Sadly, Florida doesn’t have the right geology for mines.

My brother ended up lost in a major city, 3 hours away from home and our parents. He didn’t know where he parked his car, just that it was “at a hotel”. Drugs were almost certainly involved.

His strategy was to wander around asking to borrow strangers’ cell phones until he ended up in a gas station run by an immigrant couple who were OMG lovely. They let him use their phone and they fed him until my parents could drive over and pick him up.

My parents found his car by posting “lost car” ad on Craigslist with a reward.

Anyways, my strategy’s probably to find a local library or equivalent and email my partner and friends a “please help” message. Hopefully someone lends/gives me clothes along the way.

Edit: oops, I said 3 miles. It was 3 hours. Updated.

Well, looks like it’s a real thing.

Tbh, kitty litter sounds like a practical idea in case of a lockdown. I was just cautioned to make sure my office trash bin doesn’t have any cracks.

The thing that got me to significantly reduce my dairy consumption was

1. Being exposed to vegetable milk (first soy then almond) by my roommates
2. Not keeping fresh milk in the apartment because it kept going bad
3. Losing the ability to gracefully digest lactose

I eat much less cow now because of cute internet cow videos.

Anyways, I think if 5 people reduce their consumption by 30% that’s more impactful than 1 person reducing their consumption by 100%. (Math caveat: assuming each person has the same baseline level of consumption. 5 vegans reducing their consumption by 30% won’t do squat).
