CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 24 minutes ago, Jason said: Los Angeles has spent decades not building a sufficient amount of housing so a lot of the housing stock is from the 1970s and 1980s; shit, I was recently in an apartment with kitchen appliances that looked more 1950s or 1960s. So you wind up with in-unit laundry mostly only being in the new construction, which is even more expensive than it should be because of how hard it is to get it built. That sucks. I remember using the laudromat a couple times when I was a kid. Once when the washer went out and we couldn't get a new one for a few days and once during an ice storm where our power was out for several days. Definitely an un-fun experience and my parents weren't crazy about it, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52087002 Quote University College London engineers worked with clinicians at UCLH and Mercedes Formula One to build the device, which delivers oxygen to the lungs without needing a ventilator. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices are already used in hospitals but are in short supply. China and Italy used them to help Covid-19 patients. Forty of the new devices have been delivered to ULCH and to three other London hospitals. If trials go well, up to 1,000 of the CPAP machines can be produced per day by Mercedes-AMG-HPP, beginning in a week's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are apartments with washer and dryer that uncommon elsewhere? When we lived in apartments, we always made sure we got one with those included. Not having the set meant an automatic nope. I have a Washer and Dryer. I think that you have to buy them yourself to put them in here though. Otherwise we have laundry rooms. Kinda the same thing for my mom but she doesn't have a washer and dryer but there's a space where she could put one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Interesting observation if you live in a complex with a dumpster. I guess people underestimated the amount of waste that accumulates if everyone stays home because them dumpsters are overflowing, the recycling dumpsters too!

I don't live in an apartment, but weirdly my families garbage output has gone way down. We're not buy a bunch of new things and I try to buy in bigger quantities to reduce trips, so we generate less trash. I'm not hoarding like a lunatic though.

Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, the US president claimed that, if his administration keeps the death toll to 100,000, it will have done “a very good job” – a startling shift from his optimistic predictions of a few days ago when he said he hoped to restart the economy by Easter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilda Churchill died in a Salford care home on Saturday, hours after testing positive for Covid-19 and just eight days before her 109th birthday. She is the oldest victim of the virus to be named in the UK. She was born in 1911, the year before the Titanic sank and three years before the start of the first world war. It was also seven years before the Spanish flu pandemic, which infected 500 million worldwide, and killed her sister. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worse is when you live in a building that not only doesn't have in unit washer and dryers, it doesn't even have an onsite laundry room. You have to go to an actual coin operated laundromat. Neither of the apartments I've lived in in Los Angeles were like that, both had onsite laundry rooms, but when I lived in NY you HAD to go to laundromats. You just had to hope you had one relatively close to your building. 7 hours ago, darkness35 said: Any Asians in D1P? Constant bombardment with the news has been really fucking me over.

We'll probably pass that in the next day or so with Coronavirus but yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We can only hope. Or, we get a SCOTUS ruling that news companies can not only lie about politics (as has already been settled), but can also directly lie about what is dangerous and what is not, even if they know they are lying (as long as they are doing it for political reasons). Because free speech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
