2020-03-15 at 12:59 AM UTC in He Has 17,700 Bottles of Hand Sanitizer and Nowhere to Sell ThemOn March 1, the day after the first coronavirus death in the United States, brothers Matt and Noah Colvin set out in a silver SUV to pick up some hand sanitizer. Driving around Chattanooga, Tennessee, they hit a Dollar Tree, then a Walmart, a Staples and a Home Depot. At each store, they cleaned out the shelves.
Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes, mostly from “little hole-in-the-wall dollar stores in the backwoods,” his brother said. “The major metro areas were cleaned out.”
Matt Colvin stayed home near Chattanooga, preparing for pallets of even more wipes and sanitizer he had ordered, and starting to list them on Amazon. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, “it was crazy money.” To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic.
The next day, Amazon pulled his items and thousands of other listings for sanitizer, wipes and face masks. The company suspended some of the sellers behind the listings and warned many others that if they kept running up prices, they’d lose their accounts. EBay soon followed with even stricter measures, prohibiting any U.S. sales of masks or sanitizer.
Now, while millions of people search in vain for hand sanitizer to protect themselves from the spread of the coronavirus, Colvin is sitting on 17,700 bottles of the stuff with little idea where to sell them.
“It’s been a huge amount of whiplash,” he said. “From being in a situation where what I’ve got coming and going could potentially put my family in a really good place financially to ‘What the heck am I going to do with all of this?’”

2020-03-13 at 1:39 AM UTC in i predict that wariat is going to kill himself.look at the shit he posts. he goes from one idea to the next about how he could salvage his life. they're all harebrained nonsense. he watches tons of content for idiots. like stuff no normal person wouldn't be embarrassed to watch. he writes as if he either has some kind of traumatic brain damage or a degenerative mental illness. from what i understand he is a registered sex offender, which had to have broken him on some additional level. his overall epistemology indicates no actual path up and forward for him, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.
people like this don't grow old. if i had to bet, i'd say confidently less than 10 years. but under 5 or even 1 wouldn't surprise me.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2020-02-26 at 1:21 AM UTC in Do you think the coronavirus will effect the US in any significant way?also, healthcare should be illegal. healthcare doesn't exist and it isn't real. nobody can 'care' for your fucking health. that's stupid. just put the fucking drugs on the shelf. healthcare is fucking retarded. i hate you fucking morons blabbering about healthcare this healthcare that FUCK YOU. take some responsibility for yourself.
it's like 98% of the people wandering around the USA are just monkey souls inside of human organomechanical space suits, not paying attention to their instruments and readouts and knowing less about the workings of their own body than stacy knows about her BMW. and it's a shameful waste, it really fucking is.
virtually all disease is simple user error. just driving the body wrong. -

2020-03-11 at 1:58 AM UTC in myfordboy is a man who casually casts his own alfa and audi parts.
i think he does it this way because he likes to and it's cheap for him. having parts like that milled/fabricated would be super duper expensive... especially if you want it done right. and for some shit, cast aluminum is tough enough and isn't going to melt, so why not? i've been talking with some of my bosses about setting up a 3D pla and photogrammetry lab so we can insource some kinds of work that are easy, but cost lots of money if you want someone else to do it. i'd get a flat percentage of the savings, and have a really nice 3D printing/photogrammetry lab i would have the run of, at no cost to me. i'm sure i could make it make money in other ways as well. i mentioned 15k for a set of conformal sticker jigs, and he didn't bat an eye...
anyways, myfordboy is a fine dude and he doesn't talk in his videos.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2020-03-08 at 10:59 PM UTC in just went to my buddies birthday partyjust went to my buddies birthday party at a local family style southern eating place. they made the waitresses do the hokey pokey in a big line. met my friends dad, he seemed like a regular cranky old fart, but we were talking about how he got scammed by a nigerian princess who 'used voice recognition to hack teamviewer onto his computer and start accessing his bank account from his computer while he watched'. met another coworkers dorky brother who nervously laughed at the racist things we said because he thought they were jokes. the sides they bring out are in single serving sized bowls, the fucking jedis. how are we supposed to share the potatoes, you brought one serving in a bowl.
