  • they are still more effective than no mask at reducing the spread of airborne particles from the wearer.

    Yes, but the wearer has it on their chin.

    The theoretical effectiveness of masks used in best practice and the actual effectiveness of actual practices are often miles apart.

    I'm not anti-mask at all but from a public policy perspective the overall effect was meh.

  • If there were any cuts no one would ever believe you

  • Tires are generaly made from a kind of rubber, not plastic

    Both are made of polymers.

    Rubber, also known as latex, is naturally occurring polymer from the sap of a specific species of tree.

    "Synthetic rubber", is in fact, plastic.

    Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to

  • They're still rich tho.

    That's where their arrogance comes from.

  • Wear whatever you want.

    People mostly used to wear cloaks to keep the elements off of them.

    Lots of mud and dirt from horseback riding back then--also rain.

    We're indoors a lot more now. Most of us don't work outside and our transportation, mainly automobiles, are protected from the elements.

    As the function became irrelevant, so did the clothing choice.

  • You're scared by a lack of boundaries.

    I'm scared because Herbie Hancock still looks 20.

    We are not the same.

  • Self-sufficiency for thee.

    Gov't monies for me.

  • These pants smell like the british isles.

  • hmmmm

  • Infinity people always die. Even if you don't make a decision.

  • We have more bacteria living on and in our bodies than we have "human" cells.

    Kinda makes you wonder where the "human" starts and stops. Maybe we are bacteria driving human mechs.

  • Ancient Levant, including ancient Israel, was obsessed with being hospitable hosts to visitors. This was an important cultural marker left over from when proto-Israelite culture was bedouin and on the fringes of society in the Levant.

    This practice had become slightly more hostile during Roman occupation, but Jesus's teachings on the matter were profoundly conservative--instructing his followers to never waiver from their ancient obligations.

  • The odds of hearing artifacts in modern audio codecs is miniscule.

  • Daily driving Windows in 2024 is like eating McDonalds for every meal.

    I mean, sure, it is popular...

  • Important note about Apple:

    Apple is making a living by being a gatekeeper to your data. They do not keep it private to only you, they do not keep it to themselves.

    However they do not share it for free with other companies. Make no mistake: they are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

  • It's 4 plates for anyone wondering.

  • Opera has always been do-do and always had a do-do engine. Now it's spyware.

  • This is regulation that's been bought and paid for.

  • When they released CS1 it was in a similar state.

    The difference is that nobody was paying attention to CS1 until after a couple patches were released and the game picked up momentum as it was improved and more fleshed out.
