Last Notes npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y5h…7m3c You're sponsored by NordVPN! npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1wwc…88qz Heh. I slightly prefer CE/FFP certification over NIOSH ( ffp tests leakage and breathability more than niosh) but they're both generally trustworthy certifications, while kn95 is completely unregulated outside of China npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord Did my first "long Outing" (about 6 hours. , including travel time) in quite some time. As always, it's so surreal. There I was, wearing a p100 mask in the middle of a city, and not a single other person (besides my spouse) had on so much as a baggy blue, and this in a country that still required universal masking indoors as late as mid 2022 npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1e2z…ldaf @npub13ka…tmsx If you meant DIY fit test, I use bitrex and a nebulizer, npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1e2z…ldaf @npub13ka…tmsx Fit is a personal thing, but most elastomeric masks will provide significantly better fit than most n95 masks, and also filter a higher percentage. The downside is that they do often muffle your voice more and generate significant social friction. I use a stealthmask dental most often, because it is a white elastomeric that looks like a big n95 mask, so it doesn't scare people the way another mask like a North/Honeywell 7700 would (that's one of my favorite elastomerics otherwise.) The stealthmask does have a design that prevents a proper user seal check, but it passed my diy fit test easily, so I'm pretty comfortable using them. I personally wasn't a huge fan of 3m elastomerics when I used them, but they do have better availability in the EU than MSA, Honeywell, or Moldex, I haven't tried MSA products or reusable Moldex ones, but have heard good things about MSA and Moldex makes amazing disposables, so their elastomaeircs are probably good, too npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord Furbaby mode #CatsOfMastodon #cats https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/111/578/154/752/763/763/original/1b9a8547cefde033.jpg npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord As my cat runs around my bedroom at warp speed at 2am, I feel like Somebody should invent speed bumps for cats. #CatsOfMastodon #cats npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1uw8…88kr Conferences and conventions are just pure madness right now. The CDC's own conference had a 13% infection rate, and each infection has between a 7.5% and 41% chance of giving the person long covid, with 1/4 of long covid cases being SEVERE ( on par with terminal cancer or a major stroke in terms of disability.) So, yeah in person conference attendance is, at best a .25% chance of being fully disabled. That makes it less safe than activities such as base jumping, bull riding, and mountain climbing. npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y7p…66re if you Dm me the addresss, and form, I can take a crack at it. I have a fair bit of experience at that sort of thing. npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y7p…66re humid heat w/o ac is hell, yeah npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y7p…66re Wow npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y7p…66re One especially nasty year I counted all the "GOOD DAYS" we had in st louis. A good day was defined as any day with a high between 65f and 85f that didn't rain. I didn't count allergies or pressure shifts that cause migraines. It still clocked in at only 13 days in the entire year npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y7p…66re Congrats again. Almost anywhere is better than Missouri these days. I'm sorry you had to flee, but glad you're solidly out of that fascist hellscape. It's been 6 to 10c over the already warm seasonal averages here pretty much nonstop since early July, but even at its worst, I'm still comforted by the thought that I'm no longer in Missouri npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1cr0…st20 Shame the study only goes up to delta. Without Omicron data, it isn't' terribly useful information, IMO npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub13zq…90f5 @npub16ew…6fmh @npub1uw2…pmne @npub1sh3…uxp8 There probably is an element of that, yes npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub16ew…6fmh @npub1uw2…pmne @npub1sh3…uxp8 I suspect a lot of it is that protecting yourself is seen as cowardly and selfish, while protecting others is seen as noble. it may even create sympathy in the anti maskers "wow this guy is wearing a mask to protect his sick kid. That's rough." vs "This weirdo is wearing a mask, because he thinks the overblown cold going around is dangerous. What's wrong with him?" It may not even be real sympathy, though. it may simply be that scolding a person for being too safe is socially acceptable, but scolding them for protecting others isn't npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub16ew…6fmh @npub1uw2…pmne I certainly have. If your masking for an immune compromised person at home, your actions don't really apply to them, so it isn't threatening. Also it is a bad look to tell a person something like "Screw you for masking, because your daughter has cancer" npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1mhv…skkj Masking with an ffp2/n95 or better mask, especially in common areas, and a hepa filter or cosri cube, especially in your bedroom npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub160l…ju59 Yep. They theoretically budgeted moe than enough to put a pair of HEPA filters or CR boxes in every school classroom, but none of it ever materialized as anything. I think they ended up giving most of it to the police, as I recall npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1udt…g7zx Terrible politicians do love trotting out the economist equivalent of anti vax doctors, then claiming "the economy needs...", don't they? npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1gx6…xcqu You could try getting crates and putting access restricted cat flaps on them as entrances. Kind of pricey in terms of space and cost, but it probably would work npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord Sometimes I miss Amazon Alexa. The tech was so convenient and cool. It is such a shame that the privacy issues were so bad that keeping it was just not an option. npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1svn…xpzg @npub1znz…8l64 I hope that the US can drag its self back from the brink. Sadly, while I hope that it will get better, I believe that it probably won't, hence fleeing npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1u5s…ay0e @npub1uw2…pmne taotronics hepa filters are pretty quiet and reasonably priced npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1ufr…pcn5 Happy Birthday! npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1y7p…66re @npub1znz…8l64 Yeah, Congratulations on getting out of that fascist hellscape npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub12h6…cgwd It is an absolutely miserable day, yeah. Hottest one yet, I believe. npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub12h6…cgwd it's especially dispiriting, because we moved to Cyprus, in no small part for milder weather. Of course, the part of the US we were in is experiencing it's own terrible weather, and does so with far greater frequency, but it is still pretty depressing to have moved 6000 miles to experience the longest and third most intense heatwave of my life npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1rln…0hqc @npub1znz…8l64 Probably both will be needed, sadly. A no selling the work for use in AI training sets without written permission from both parties also seems like it should be added. Hopefully there will be some standard language that gets developed soon npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1rln…0hqc It's a huge mess, certainly. @npub1znz…8l64 and I actually discussed the possibility of adding some no AI provisions to future contracts to help protect everyone involved npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1twe…kad0 We have a similar box that's a faux sardine can.

For every millionaire failson who scams and lucks their way into billions, there are thousands who don't.

How poorly regarded it was in general 2. That I always thought it was a fun little game that didn't deserve all the hate npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1rln…0hqc Back when I was in online retail, instead of games, I tried out some pay per click type advertising. I *VERY* quickly stopped advertising all but my most expensive and high profit items, because I'd be lucky to break even otherwise. I had okay luck with some items that sold for $185, just because they had a pretty decent net profit, so that I could absorb the $20 or so cost per sale, but most of what I sold was significantly less expensive than that, and just wasnt' worth advertising that way npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord Semi daily picture of my cat Freya #cats #CatsOfMastodon https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/110/687/120/612/656/271/original/942ef2a1f15f15d9.jpg npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord Semi daily picture of my cat Freya https://s3.wasabisys.com/pmg-media/media_attachments/files/110/686/898/870/671/684/original/a38b874ce90358ac.jpg npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1xnp…8gp7 what is really sad is that his idiotic campaign promise will both win h I'm votes and never be criticized npub1dw5y4t8espsd0w86x0agzajs463wtj45gg902l72pnpc9sz95uesm4grle Njord @npub1j8u…7l2v Yeah.
