No worries. Just get yourself a flowbee. We have all seen the late night commercials. Cutting hair with the help of a vacuum cleaner just works.

Just go back to the good ole days.
Before good old Charmin ever existed, everyone was sitting on the loo without an extra roll in sight. So what did they use? Back then in way back time, people would use leaves, moss, a rag or hay. How civilized. If you were affluent, you had the luxury of wiping your bottom with lamb’s wool.

It is a monumental task to be able to produce something new and on the scale being demanded. They will figure it out, but there will be bumps along the way.

I think it is essential to see family and friends over the holidays. We only have so many circuits around the Sun.
If you look at Newsom's pandemic response through a Covid only lens and are in favor of blanket restrictions (like some people here still cling to), isn't Newsom's continued goal post moving absolute evidence of his abject failure in combating the virus?
If I look at his health policy decisions in isolation I would give him a C for his Covid response because I believe he has very little control over the virus. I wouldn't give him an F because he didn't pull a Coumo/Murphy, but I can't give him a higher grade because many of his restrictions weren't credible which diluted the effectiveness of credible precautions. I'd give him a D on his economic health policy decisions. Some businesses are still thriving but he's nearly killed some industries or sent them on an insane roller coaster ride. For his education and youth health policy decisions, he hasn't even shown up to class or turned in any assignments so he gets a solid F. His overall health policy grade is an F because I have to give more weight to the damage he has done to our children.

Damn he really moved the goalposts this time. SD should never be lumped together with LA for anything. That's why we have Camp Pendleton...to keep us separated.

But the latest numbers, shared in San Diego County’s daily COVID-19 update Wednesday, show that the region is likely to be put into a more-restrictive lockdown even though its intensive care remains significantly more favorable than Southern California’s.
At the moment, San Diego County comes nowhere close to meeting that threshold. As of Tuesday, 539 of 853 local intensive care beds were occupied, 38 percent of them by COVID-19 patients.
However, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new plan Thursday that lumps San Diego in with 10 other counties, many of which have significantly less bed availability than San Diego does. For example, Los Angeles County, according to a report from Health Services Los Angeles County, currently has 86 available staffed adult ICU beds compared to 315 in San Diego.
Governor to shutter businesses, limit activities as case rates surge
San Diego County will be tied to all of Southern California in a new “regional” stay-at-home order that mandates closure of many businesses when intensive care capacity drops to just 15…

Think how San Luis Obispo, Inyo and Mono feel. IIRC one of those 3 is still red.
Here's my headscratcher: Newsom's decided to close playgrounds (and zoos) but the ski resorts are open? But at the same time overnight campgrounds would be shuttered (so no RVs) and hotels would be limited and nonessential travel banned. So you can go to a ski resort if you live near one in driving distance? Does Newsom (or one of his health directors) have some sort of holiday cabin we're unaware of and they want to bunker down in for the winter and want to avoid a French laundry accusation of hypocrisy?
I love science, its so fascinating how it works in 2020.
Didn’t he also have a slide where he encouraged people to go to parks, go to beaches and even one that said “go utilize outdoor gyms” to help with mental health concerns?

Rational people see this as a good thing.
Stupid.
You might want to post a link for that claim about Newsom closing playgrounds. Are you talking about March?
I watched the whole news conference today and did not hear anything about a decision to close playgrounds.
Current guidance on the state web site says nothing about closing them, either.

It is far too specific, but I don't see a single word there about closures.
