Also. Also also. Wear the damn mask. This isn’t an accommodations issue, it’s a public health issue. If you can’t for some reason wear a mask, then stay out of the damn store. COVID doesn’t give a shit.

Talk to a surgeon. They wear them all the time, walking, working, almost every day of the year their entire working lives for hours and hours at a time. Go tell a surgeon that masks worn over their noses are dangerous or unsafe or hinder their breathing. This is a fabrication of yours. It may be mildly uncomfortable,…

Sarcasm aside, please educate yourself. You are not only a danger to strangers but the people you care about. Check out the links Skwarecki gave you and if you still have questions, check out the CDC pages on masks and other COVID related topics.

Except this is not the flu. The seasonal flu is caused by a virus (actually several viruses, but I’m trying to keep this simple) from the influenza genus (the latin taxonomic name is actually quite a bit longer, but, again, simple). COVID-19 is caused by a virus from the corona genus. These two things are as similar…

Hate to break it to you, but you’re wrong. End of discussion.

What exactly do you think is not safe about wearing a mask?

So I guess the question is, “To be, R₀ to be” 🤔

Nice article,well said. The one issue is, most conspiracy nuts I know get off on having figured out the conspiracy. They aren’t looking for it to get disproved, they are looking for how smart they can be by fitting new junk into the narrative. It’s a great little personal win and way to feel important to have…

Before my switch to Apple, I owned a Compaq Presario. If I’d bought Compaq stock instead of that G4 and reinvested the dividends, today it would be worth, uh, $3,750.

If Ticketmaster wants to be the middleman they should be prepared to get the money back from the venues and get it back to the consumers. How is that hard understand?

You sound pretty salty.  Maybe you should take a vacation.  A cruise perhaps

Let them register their ships stateside and pay taxes and then we’ll look into giving them assistance in a year or two.

A reasonable question, and the answer is “no” - we need a lot more testing and we will continue to need a lot more testing until the vaccine is widely available.

On Chrome, there’s an extension called “Smile Always” that automatically redirects all Amazon links/pages to the smile site. So then I never have to remember or think about it, and the World Wildlife Fund gets a few cents from me on the regular.

Pennies on the dollar can add up. I received this from Amazon back in June, and it made me feel pretty good.

Disney+ was/is available in the Netherlands since 9/12.

I have a much longer version of this I’ve shared before, but don’t skimp on an employer-matched 401(k) just to have an old-fashioned emergency fund. Even if you had to draw on one of those accounts, after taxes and fees, you’re still way ahead because the employer gave you “free money.”

My wife and I merged our accounts after getting married. We had similar money styles and never had an issue with it - but it did lead to an amusing development for a while after. We both felt a bit uncomfortable spending the money from the other account when we were alone, as it felt like spending the others money -…
