Yeah, I understood it but wanted confirmation that it was grammatically in correct. Thanks.
Do you like fish sticks?

What are you a gay fish?
Costco out of toilet paper and paper towels.
Glad I bought the tp last trip. There seemed to be plenty of pt last time so I thought no big deal I’ll just get it later. I reached my purchase threshold for my latest trip and it was all gone.
Local grocery had a 6 pack of smaller rolls at higher per Costco roll price. So I bought it. I think they will be out soon.
Still no Corona at Costco. They finally had frozen corn tho.
I looked at the premixed margaritas, thought about the drinking and health thread, then decided we have ample alcohol in the house already.

at least it was spelled correctly. 
But grammatically, the sentence is correct IMO; but it could be parsed better to make it easier to read.

Well, this is what I would have expected the meaning to be:
In “the substitution of A for B”, “substitution” is a noun, which needs to be connected to its object with " of ". So, “Substitute A for B” = “The substitution of A for B”.
But in context it seemed obvious what the meaning they wanted.
I spent way too much time thinking about this. I agree with you, and it seems that’s the consensus I get from here:
They still sell Corona at other places, no?
I started buying toilet paper in bulk from Amazon before the pandemic. That has served me well. I just restocked.
Apparently the port of Los Angeles (the nation’s busiest) is so far behind that many ships are sitting at anchor waiting to be unloaded. The port’s director says “We have about two weeks’ worth of work sitting at anchor right now”
my gpus are floating somewhere in the Pacific
Better dry them out before you pop them into your computer!!! 
One of them dropped anchor on an oil pipeline. Thanks, Trump!
Also, I’m wondering if it is still the busiest. And, if ships are STILL going there and standing in line or if they are going to Oxnard or Port Hueneme or Santa Barbara or San Diego. Guessing the ships are of a certain size (too large for those ports).
Also, why? Is it too many ships, not enough trucks/truckers, not enough longshoremen?
Hmm, this Googled result explains some of it, which seems to be all of the above, plus already packed warehouses with not enough workers:
3 things on my grocery order was out. 2 were sale items. I was prepared to be annoyed at being charged a pick up fee since the total fell below the threshold due to the out of stock items but I wasn’t charged one.
Holy TEU shipping costs batman!
No Coke Zero at my grocery store for over a week.
A twitter thread on perhaps the main bottleneck at the moment: container storage space at the terminals. Apparently this thread got enough attention that the city of Long Beach has suspended the current limit of no more than 2 empty containers being stacked. That should help free up a lot more chassis to haul containers out of port.

Why did he respond to himself like 10 times?
My wife finally found some 12oz bottles. I have some 7.5oz cans that I’ve been working through.
Meanwhile plenty of regular coke in all sizes for the past few weeks. Are people not buying regular coke anymore? Not I know anyone who does. If I buy it, I go for the Mexican Coke as a treat for myself (and for the pork butt we slow-cooked).
