It's a custom title. They are given according to the whim of moderators, generally for noteworthy or funny things people do, but it could be for pretty much anything. Stick around on the forums for a while and contribute, get to know people. That's pretty much the only way.@Fietta I know its out of topic but can I ask can we get custom nicks like your "buıʇʇǝs uoıʇɔǝɹıp ʞɔɐʇʇɐ" if we can can u tell me how please?
More important than your life, at most.I think what people dont understand is even if it doesnt kill you it will most likely wreck you and you will be in bed for 2 weeks and it also has enormous impact on global trade and economy which is more important than human lives in long run. AKA bronz age
You want to protect yourself from the virus by smelling better?
The great western civilization, destroyed by a sickness with 1% mortality rate. I hope it happens, I like irony.
[Italy] has more than 12,000 confirmed cases and a death toll of 827.
Nearly 900 people with the virus in Italy were in intensive care, the WHO's emergencies head Michael Ryan said.
Especially yeast was popular.
Oh boy. Didn't excpect that.
Canned food will become boring and awful around the second day's breakfast, so ingredients that last are preferrable to the ready-to-eat ****.
If food shortages ever happen I don't think being bored would be a high pritority. I'd much rather have something that can be eaten despite gas, water or power shortages.
Once upon a time, canned goods were considered the thing of the future and were a beloved staple. How times change. (Interesting point: I pretty much live off canned foods anyway, so I don't have much to worry about on that front.)
This is basically why I'm so irritated that, for the most part, people - particularly people in the media - seem to be making this bigger than it needs to be. Many people don't even realize they're carrying it because they show no symptoms. Discounting those people, the virus has a mortality rate of roughly 3.7% (high estimate), just among confirmed cases. The vast majority of those are in the 60+ bracket, with the largest majority being in the 80+ bracket; people who often don't go out much in the first place. In addition, of the cumulative reported cases thus far, 53% have already recovered.
Yet with all these positives to look at, the news focuses on the negatives because that's what gets viewers in, and I worry it'll start an unnecessary panic wherein people scramble for supplies and store shelves empty out. They focus on things like the recent "pandemic" classification, despite most people thinking "pandemic" means "likely to destroy humanity". I mean here in America, we weren't half this worried about ebola when it was brought here (admittedly in a very controlled manner), and that had around a 90% mortality rate. Why are we freaking out over something that's basically a nasty flu? Take precautions, yes. Be careful when visiting the elderly, yes. Be careful if you are elderly, yes. But at this point in time, we don't need to freak out and let society collapse.
I don't think the apocalypse will come, but some regions in some places could suffer from scarcity for a few days or weeks, especially if you happen to live in a quarantined city or rural area. I myself live in one of the top 5 infected countries and have made no contingency plans, but can see why some people would rather be prepared. Not every corner of the world is well communicated or supplied.
Cologne is alcohol based (I think). Maybe it's a misconception about alcohol killing the virus. Protip: it doesn't work ( - not like that).
