Puerto Ricans (in Puerto Rico) can't vote for president, so maybe their hope was that it wouldn't matter what they said about them? Hopefully people in swing states prove them wrong at the ballot box.
Honestly, other than voting and trying to get those around me to actually give a shit, I'm not. Like in the past two elections, I'm having trouble grasping the fact that half of the (voting) country wants to elect a fascist. My mother told me over the phone that one of her neighbors is voting for Trump because "his wife is absolutely gorgeous". Like, how do you even respond to that, especially in any calm way?
Oh, and someone here reminded me: cannabis. Lots and lots of it.
There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don't get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I've ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.
Paper towels are able to absorb water because of cellulose's natural gaps and spaces:
Most bacteria are about 1 micron, and these gaps range from around 1-10 microns.
Especially if damp, it can be argued that they don't stop the transfer of bacteria. It's possible that your bacteria transfers through it and vice versa. This is all before the fact that paper towels can already harbor bacteria on their own.
That being said, paper towels do block some. You just shouldn't think of them as sterile or a magic blocker for bacteria.
I have bad news, most (?) paper towels, toilet paper, and even the toilet seat covers are microscopically transparent, meaning there are plenty of gaps for microbes to get through.
What a painful way to tabulate, seems like an artifact from before we had connected, electronic tabulation?
