Interesting thing to me is recirculated air vs. contained air. The vinyl sided tents aren't going to have recirculated air like indoors, but yes, the air is certainly not going to be flowing the way it would with no vinyl walls. OC bea

On a strongly related note, are there any studies on outdoor transmission that are highly credible? I've long assumed that indoor dining is likely a transmission vector, but since LA recently banned outdoor dining, I'm curious abo

Who knows? There's people on here who will not like something you say in one thread, and downvote you on others. Hopefully not many. Perhaps my statement was viewed as off-topic? I was downvoted rather aggressively in another thread

Pinkerton has a long history of criminal activity. It's unbelievable that Bezos gets away with this with such minimal media attention. (Yeah, it's on NPR, but I highly doubt I'll see it on CNN, at the most, maybe Fox will sa

As I said elsewhere in the thread, my wife voted for him, and finds my ribbing nicknames hilarious. She learned, like I did as a kid, that choosing to be offended by something is a weakness and a distraction. It's as if it's beco

My wife voted for him. She thinks it's funny, because she's doesn't take herself seriously in the narcissistic way that has become fashionable online these days. I love how we have to nerf the world instead of asking people

What I love about these arguments is how arbitrary they are as to when the location has reached it's pinnacle of awesomeness and should be frozen in time from then on. "Manhattan was once a Dutch colony. Those horrible gentrifier

I think you're making a big mistake by buying into the argument that a big new employer moving in drives up demand for housing, and therefore it will immediately be a disaster for the community. The reason this argument is flawed is th

A buddy of mine years ago did a sports-coaching related start-up in Washington, DC. It was a cool idea targeted at high school and college football teams. He wanted to stay in DC, and had the talent he wanted there. His app was high-quali

I NEVER go within 10 feet of people on a trail without a mask. The rule is 6 feet, and I add the extra few feet to remove ambiguity. When I go to certain trails in the Boulder, CO area, there are many "mask nazis" who clearly ar

I support wearing masks, but have seen the science on outdoor transmission and don't wear one on the very empty trails I hike on. However, I saw a big flaw in your logic: So it's "extremely obnoxious" when the OP "

I also use this for a work project. My experience has been incredibly similar, particularly with the wall of skepticism I get from people regarding their opinions on notebooks. It's the main barrier I have in getting others on board.

I'm ok with this bailout, but ONLY IF ITS CONTINGENT ON RADICALLY REFORMING UNIVERSITIES. This crisis was teed up by colleges taking advantage of endlessly subsidized debt being signed onto by 17-18 year old kids. They need to fix it.

American here. My underfunded school taught us this in 6th grade. We even cut orange peels to learn the different projections. That was the 90s. Public schools have really gotten shitty.

Sadly this is what a polarized political system does: if you believe that the opposing side is primarily motivated by racism and bigotry then you will not have any moral scruples about willfully manipulating human beings. If you believe the

Is banning discussion of religion in the workplace a political/religious stance? Or is it just an attempt to be decent and get people to do the thing they were hired to do, which is to make their investors more fucking money? As a sha
