    Depends where you live/if you mind the taste. I just put mine through a brita filter.

    I have a 40 oz. water bottle and I try to make it a point to drink at least three full ones a day (about a gallon/3.5 liters).

    Our r opening has been staggered. And we were the same, it was never a full quarantine. We could go outside for "exercise" but literally everything was closed. A few loopholes were found and some pubs started operating for take away only.

    We've had pubs/bars/restaurants etc open for a week now. First night was busy but now the "new normal" seems to be sinking in.

    I love next to a huge under cover market in central London so there was always loads of activity around here. Supermarkets made a killing from selling booze!

    Located in Houston, Texas. People are acting normal, even though the city is a new hotspot. Everything is pretty much open except clubs and tattoo shops. Abbot finally came to his senses in some aspects but man Texas mishandled the s--- out of this.

    The difference between states are huge aren't they?

    Also curious I see lots of people on here refer to it as 'covid' -the actual name of the disease-. Do people irl name it like that there too? Literally never heard someone naming it that over here lol its always 'corona'

    I live in Georgia and we closed for 10 days an April. That’s it. Many restaurants still do takeout only but other than that everything is ”normal” as far as I know aside from large event spaces being closed.

    Writing copy can be really lucrative depending on the job even if I hate it. Also I'm only paying $300 a month in rent right now lol. I'll have to use some of my savings like I did in Mexico but I have miles for flights so I prob won't have to spend anything on airfare.

    The only expensive thing really will be where we're staying in aruba but I already paid for my share of that like eight months ago. In mexico hostels were like $10-$15 a night and airbnbs $20-$25 + 10% discount if you book a full week. And you can easily survive on $5/meal if you're eating out, even cheaper when you make food yourself. I assume it'll be about the same in south america. I don't think I'll be able to go another two months without working but I'm hoping to be able to stay for a month or so.

    i went to miami for a friends wedding. this is an indian couple, so the wedding was quite unique. we sat on the floor, ladies on the left, men on the right. we had to wash our hands before entering the wedding chapel and everyone at the wedding had to wear a headpiece. i ate indian food the entire weekend. i actually enjoyed the majority of it. i didn't like all of it, but most of it was good.

    when i wasn't doing wedding activities, i explored miami. this was actually my first in florida. i went to south beach, which is really nice. i hadn't been to the beach in a while, its so relaxing. i was reminded of why i like the beach so much. i also saw maurice jones drew in a barber shop in south florida. i recognized him right away because i watch NFL Network all the time. i talked to him about football while i was waiting for my buddy to get his hair cut. it was so cool. not every day you run into someone who played in the NFL. i also tried some cuban food in miami. i tried some of those cuban corquetas. its just an appetizer, but it was a good dish. i also blew my money on whores and liquor--man those latinas in miami are pretty :)

    Great summer so far. Been playing ice hockey and joined a beer kickball league, it’s been a blast. Spending a lot of time with close friends who are due for their first kid any day now, excited for them. A couple fun trips as well! ...And today I’m cleaning the house

    ET life most definitely exists but it is highly unlikely in the vastness of the universe that they've ever visited us, and if they somehow had the technology to visit our planet they would be so advanced that we would be unable to comprehend them or their technology. Likewise, a species that had the ability to visit planet Earth would not have the slightest interest in us, we would be like ants to them.

    I think there are Aliens, but they want nothing to do with us. Just think about it from their perspective. If they were to observe us from a distance they’d just see a species that is seemingly focused on its own demise.
