Maybe you should have read up thread to see what I was responding to then? This is a thread about the disclaimer.

I don’t know how to be more clear that the disclaimer is the same than to link you to a site selling normal cloth masks with the exact same disclaimer.
664.
by jdminhbg 5y ago
No, it absolutely applies to normal cloth masks. In fact, as far as I can tell, that disclaimer is simply copied and pasted from other sites selling cloth masks, for example: https://teepublic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/

by jdminhbg 5y ago
All of this, down to the disclaimer, also applies to the ubiquitous normal cloth masks, so it's hardly a strike against them.

None of the AirPod annoyances are as bad as having your headphones yanked violently out of your ears when the 3.5mm cable catches on a door handle.

“When last connected” is supposed to mean “if this phone is the last thing they were connected to when they were put away last time, connect to this phone when they are taken back out.” “Never” in that context would mean each time you put t

In case you don’t know this, since it isn’t obvious, you have to set them not to automatically connect on each device they are paired to. And if you unpair and re-pair them you have to do it again. This is annoying but not as annoying as au

I’m not very familiar with accountancy, but there seems to have been a lot of growth in internet-based tax prep for individuals who would previously have done their own. I couldn’t find historical data, but forecasts I found all agreed the

I think you misunderstood. I'm not talking about driving around in a holding pattern. I'm saying that instead of interspersing valuable real estate with parking lots so that people can walk from their car to the shop/restaura

Even outside of "cheating" like this, self-driving would have a pretty significant impact on parking economics. You don't need to have parking spread throughout the city in convenient places, because you can send your car to

Please note the word “following,” which does not mean “caused by.” The study was not designed to show causation, and it does not do so, the CDC’s irresponsible communication strategy notwithstanding.

These graphs are misleading because they do not accurately reflect the change in cases. Cases in the Omicron wave are probably closer to 10x the winter of 2021 than the 1.5x in those graphs, but testing sites have been overwhelmed and rapid

It seems like you misunderstand what people are calling for. It doesn't make sense for a triple-vaxxed, asymptomatic, positive test to be quarantined for ten days. We have rapid tests that are very good at determining whether people ar

This is comparing the risk of death for people who are hospitalized to the risk for their age group, which is missing the major confounding factor that those who are hospitalized for Covid (especially in younger cohorts) are very disproport
