Well I doubt that TP caused the virus, but the store shelfs were nearly empty of TP yesterday.

I could only understand about 10% of her words, between her accent, poor enunciation, and traffic noise.

A better CT would be that it was the TP industry that started it!

You must not get out much, that's a shame.

That may be a better CT, but mine is arguably the better truth.

Two vehicles in 1 minute 21 seconds is not "a busy highway".

I count 4 and considering that they make noise as they approach and then head away, if we say that's 5 seconds each, then 40 seconds, or half the video is covered by traffic noise.

No but 88 vehicles per day isn't anything to say it is an deserted roadway either.

Trebuchet · 14th March 2020, 09:34 AM

Sorry, Orphia. I'll try with headphones; maybe that will help.

It helped.

I did count two cars and an airplane.

I see what you are trying to do here: get people to NOT continue panic-buying TP so you can get some.

Ha, no. I haven't bought any since buying 4 rolls in January.

I get to use everyone else's since I'm a wandering fool these days.

Is that not rather unhygienic? I always flush mine, hadn't thought anyone else could re-use it.

If you do that, what will the paper mills that make TP from recycled paper use?

gigmaster · 25th March 2020, 03:44 AM

Well, that's a crappy thing to say....

I'm not sure that the toilet paper hoarding will actually help the industry much. They've certainly had a big bump in sales, but this will likely be followed by a big slump, as all the people who filled their closets and garages with toilet paper stop buying for the next several years.
