Why ban masks connected to tubing or battery operated? These are often the most protective, often exceeding N95/FFP2 standards of filtration and with a better fit.

Are there airports that don’t sell compliant masks?

I took cooking lessons at La Pitchoune (Julia Child’s summer home for nearly three decades).

Just plant stuff that you can eat. Tomatoes are never outdated.

We didn’t achieve herd immunity before delta because vaccines weren’t available, and democracies didn’t use the “get out and we shoot you” style of lockdown while waiting for the vaccine to come.

Yes, that’s why I said it is inevitable. I don’t consider herd immunity via infection as a reasonable option. I think they are already deploying it in Israel to the most vulnerable.

It is important, but it is not everything.

I am starting to wonder about the efficiency of vaccines. It is certainly better than nothing and I still think everyone should get it. I did and will do it again if needed.

DTMFA with extreme prejudice

To be fair, when the first Star Wars came out, there was no relationship between Luke and Leia. They retconned it when “Return of the Jedi” came out.

I’ve been using Aftershokz headphones for several years, almost daily use, and I love them. Currently using the opencomm model, had the air, titanium, bluez2 and sportz M3 before that.

Beat Saber anyone?

Don’t be scared of real code.

Raging on Lifehacker (especially what it has become) is cathartic. Lifehacker is the new 4chan.

So, it is mostly a matter of concentration. Fair point.

The government can’t tell private schools what to charge but through subsidies it can make state universities good and affordable, like in many countries.

Why not? It is the same chemical (sodium hypochlorite).

Olympic weightlifting looks dangerous to me. I certainly wouldn't want to load that bar before knowing the technique.

Mosquito nets work, you can make clothes out of them too.

This is not necessary in a ranked system, it would just cause unnecessary delays, and maybe potential for strategic voting.
