    its asphalt, so not easy to keep it away, when he works on them so often
    like people handling coal for home heating, not easy if you need to carry and burn coal every few hours :D

    I'd love to dig there but it's my responsibility to keep the vaccinated safe. That's what they tell me anyway.

    The way the rules are changing by the day in some places traveling outside the US isnt on my agenda and I'd probably violate some rule and get locked up haha.

    These lil pickers we consider Colorado nuggets since most of our placer gold was ground up during the last ice age but I love it!

    worst is to get pinned down by 6-8 people, then fined and deported and lastly footing the bill too, with no nugget to pay lol
    the virus are changing too
    if the Japan 2020 is done in 2021, with so little recycled gold plating..
    then this thread might as well continue well into 2022, 1.5 months left to go, will be left 1 year for buying overseas without the GST on all items online in 2023 here SG

    just like the first locked down, some people repeat that long queue in supermarkets, they can restock again
    only in China, there was power outage and heavy snow storm, that disrupted roads etc
    it caused some panic only, but shelves are never empty, unlike those in the US or UK, they tried to hide it, US has ports issue.. UK had drivers issue..

    I saw this countless times in Europe: the same product is used to fill the empty space on the shelves.
    And yes, quite often it's just a single row of cans (like on the picture above), just to fill the first line on the shelves.

    This is worrying, indeed.

    Another tactic that I saw is that they also bring countless big boxes of other products and they put them right in the middle of the shop to create the appearance of abundance.

    For example, I saw:
    - piles of paper products (paper tissues, toilet paper etc.) placed near the drinks' section of the shop, but also not far from the existing paper products - I noticed that in fact, there were too few mineral water bottles on the shelves,
    so they probably they decided to create a "visual barrier of abundance", but with paper, not water...
    - canned fish products were scarce on certain shelves at another shop, so what did they do? they filled disproportionately many shelves (as on the image above) with jars of pickles (sour)... has nothing to do with fish!
    - I also saw that they quite often bring in 3-4-5 huge pallets of Coke/Pepsi and/or vegetable oil and LITERALLY create barriers in the middle of the shop, so that you have to go around them (they put 2-3 pallets, vertically filled with
    the same useless product - like Coke), again: for the visual illusion of abundance...

    This is weird, because the Coke and the toilet paper usually pops up right where some other product is rarer (or has disappeared entirely) from the shelves.

    How bizarre, how bizarre... there used to be a song called "How bizarre, how bizarre" :D :D :D
