I’ve started doing this. It’s 30 seconds that I’m completely present. I take deep breaths, feel the water on my hands, and relax. It’s amazingly calming.

True about public restrooms! I was thinking of this more geared toward in your own home since that’s where most people are spending most of their time at the moment. I tend to turn mine off either with a fresh towel or the side of my hand in my home.
You turn off the faucet after drying your hands so that you can use the same paper towel to avoid touching the faucet 500 other people (yourself 30 seconds ago with your unwashed hands included) touched that week. It wastes a little more water, but it also works better, and that extra half cup of water is probably a…
Good advice. May I add that I’ve been beating the drum about mental and emotional health for our older population through this. I’m a nurse who specialized in Geriatrics for many years. I cringe a little when I hear things like“I put my mother on lock-down”.

If you’ve just returned from washing your hands, you’ve touched a couple doors and pulled your chair out to sit down to lunch, hand sanitizer is probably not a bad idea. If…
Well, let’s ignore for now that this is exactly the kind of behavior that antitrust laws were invented to fight, back in the day before America became the poster boy for regulatory capture. Practically speaking, if you’re OK with installing Windows with a local instead of online login (which can still be finagled even…
I don’t get it. Movie reference? Plague Inc?
Me too! Exactly this. I’ve told this to people, and they act like I’m crazy. I wish people were as universally insistent on vaccines as they are about NEVER EVER putting a Q Tip near an ear.
Q Tips work. and work well, if done correctly.

God. Damn. It.
I’m sorry you are bothered by our attempts to help people of all different situations and setups.
I’d also slap a solid-state drive in your system if it doesn’t have one already
