That single roll on top is the icing on the cake. Nice collection.

This seems silly.
Probably cheaper to buy a bidet or stop eating food from the Chinese food dumpster.
I am a family of 4 and that would last us 6 years
As I told a young gun owner a few years back during the last panic, when he asked why I needed a literal closet full of ammo, “How much is enough, if you can’t buy any more?”
So maybe not quite the same, tho the canned food shelves downstairs are similarly stacked. My goal is to never get caught short again. If we never added to this TP collection, I’m guessing it would last six months max.

Holy crap literally! You think all that would only last 6 months?
Did you start the “poop knife” Reddit?
LOL, so I just did some math and maybe you’re right. Maybe two years..

Huge fan of the bidet. My family only buys minimal tp now, and we love it.
Manufacturers are introducing face masks for general use that they say offer more protection than cloth coverings without taxing supplies of the N95 masks used in hospitals.
These mask makers said many of the new models coming to market are more protective than cloth masks but don’t reach the level of protection provided by N95s, which stop at least 95% of very small particles with a sophisticated filter and a snug fit to the face.
The new masks are designed to fill what makers call a hole in the medical-gear market as Covid-19 cases surge—something for nonmedical people worried about exposure in their day-to-day lives. Manufacturers say their new masks follow recommendations from public health authorities and typically include a combination of reusable layers and a replaceable filter.
Despite big increases in domestic production, N95s have been in short supply since the pandemic began. The new surge in cases is putting fresh strain on U.S. stockpiles of a critical piece of equipment for doctors and nurses treating patients with Covid-19.
The new masks aimed at everyday consumers aren’t subjected to the same federal certification process as N95s intended for medical workers. Getting certified to produce N95s is a long and rigorous process, manufacturers said. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has approved about 20 additional makers of N95s and similar products this year, according to the agency, increasing the number of certified companies around the world by about one-third.
Honeywell International Inc., which is making 20 million N95s a month for medical workers, recently started selling a new mask aimed at the general public that the company says offers more protection than plain cloth. The $30 mask has two layers of polyester, nylon and spandex woven together and comes with 12 replaceable filters made out of polypropylene, which is the main filtering material in standard N95s. Will Lange, who runs Honeywell’s personal protective equipment business, said the Charlotte, N.C.-based conglomerate aimed to combine the comfort of a cloth mask with protection near what an N95 affords.
“We tried to combine the best of both worlds,” he said.
Some officials and medical experts are encouraging people to wear masks that offer more protection than simple cloth.

Hampton, N.H.-based Sleepnet Corp., which makes masks for people with sleep apnea, also sells a reusable N95-style mask that was designed only to protect the wearer during work on dusty construction sites or home-improvement projects. ... People have been buying the masks to protect against the coronavirus, so Sleepnet this month started selling a plug for the valve that prevents droplets that could contain the virus from being exhaled out of the mask.

Keith Layson bought a cloth mask online when the virus began spreading across the U.S. earlier this year. He said he found it uncomfortable and hard to breathe through. This summer the Tacoma, Wash.-based salesman bought a polyester mask with insertable filters produced by alpine gear maker Outdoor Research LLC. Mr. Layson said he bought it because he knew the company, recently approved as an N95 maker, had added medical-grade masks to its normal product line of high-quality mountain-climbing gear.
...
ThermoPore Materials Corp. secured government approval in September to make a new type of N95 that uses a different filtration material than the standard polypropylene, which has been in short supply.
Holy shit ticket
I think maybe this subject (tp hole size) deserves its own thread.
No worries. It’s all good.
I was kinda hoping the little blue square packets of shit tickets were never gonna be in my future again... Now I’m gonna watch the tube size with a weather eye.
Thanks.
Lots of metrics in the preparedness world. You just brought something else to light. I’m not thinking many folks been scoping out the tube size on the TP rolls. I know I haven’t.
Thanks.
