Lol, I'd never have thought of that (seriously).

My guess is that double faucets are still common in the UK but these days the single mixer has pretty much taken over on new builds. You tip about filling the basin is a good one but I'm in too much of a hurry to do something like that.

Maybe the less we care about his book, the more he wants people dead.

I'm right, of course. Right-wingers are more likely to think that
covid's a hoax or at least severely exaggerated. It makes them less
careful. They're spreading the love. It's amazing that you didn't you
know that. It's your country. You can check with Joan, by the way.
She's just had a few maskless holidays with her extended family.

There is not an order to "not go shopping."

Item 24, "What should I be doing as an individual?"
 
Public Health and the Governor's Office asks everyone to avoid all
non-essential contact with people you don't live with, regardless of
whether they are young and healthy or not.
 
Stay at home as much as possible. What does it mean to stay home?
 
Limit trips for groceries, gas and other essentials.
 
If you must go out, stay at least 6 feet away from others at all times.
 
Fewer, shorter and safer interactions are crucial.
 
Wear a cloth face covering when you are at any indoor or outdoor
public space where you are within 6 feet of others.
 
Continue to practice healthy hand hygiene, cough into sleeves, stay
home when sick, and disinfect high-touch surfaces both inside and
outside their home.
 
Do not buy more than you need. Many are overstocking on products
that sick neighbors, healthcare providers, and emergency providers
need like hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Leave some for
your neighbors!

Presumably he means Germany. Before Tanzania was created, by the union
of Tanganyika with the island of Zanzibar, Tanganyika was known as
Deutsch-OstAfrika.

Our library was shut down for over a month back in March and April but
than opened up for curb side pick up only. Then in the summer they
opened up to limited numbers of people for short stays. They took out
all the computers, tables, chairs. Books had to be returned to the drop
box and sit in quarantine for four days.
 
We went back into lock down this week and the doors are locked. They
switched back to curb side pick up. It is a lot better now than it was
back in the spring. I put on a hold on three books and three DVDs late
last night and got emails about most of them being ready for pickup. I
have a half dozen DVDs and some books to go back and one I should finish
tonight, so I will take them back tomorrow.
 
 
I don't know about other people, but I find it difficult to select books
to read without being able to open them up and have a look. Now I have
to go by author and hope for the best, or go for re-reads of previously
enjoyed books.

That's a good question. My guess is that the official story is that they burned it. I used to associate with guys that made guitars. One guy bought as much wood as he could. I heard that he slept on a pile of wood. That guy is brilliant. His guitar tops were so finely finished that the spruce would sparkle. Beats me how he did it.

Congrats on the win. The trouble with chess is that there's always going to be someone better than you.

I thought it was exactly the other way around. Which is why Europeans
are into mussels and Americans are into clams.

Aren't crabs too expensive for you, since you're tighter than a nun's
body part?

If you want to put melted cheese or bacon on things, don't do it to
oysters. Do it to a piece of bread or something. There's nothing to
gain by tampering with perfection.

Good question. And possibly the cause of Gary's misconception.
