Auras are great, mainly because of the nose padding. It seems to be slightly anti-slip in addition to adding some comfort. What's more shocking is that they very closely resemble a design that was made specifically for consumers around

If fitted properly the fogging should not be an issue. That can be difficult to maintain on some people's faces though. Using a headband style instead of ear loops can make a big difference for a tight fit. Some medical users will use

You can if it's an average and you're not being overly literal about it. Don't break out a stopwatch and assume you're safe if you run out of the room before the average time is up.

A lot of people only want to think about it on their individual level, instead of realizing that every measure like masks, even lower quality masks, slows the spread on average and prevents the waves of infections from being as sharp or as

Here's a good infographic from a country with a seemingly better public information response. It talks about both droplets and aerosols. Simply put: dividers don't help much with aerosols, or may concentrate the particles from mul

From what I understand, the immune system has some capacity to anticipate mutations. The most basic function of antibodies is to stick to and neutralize the target, in this case the spike protein that the mRNA vaccine presents to the immune

Given all the other mammal reservoirs that Covid has found, we're just probably the most numerous one and it won't bat an eye (pun intended) if we die off.

To add to this, there are also feedback loops involved. Sea ice is very white (high albedo), and as it melts at the margins it is replaced by sea water with a much lower albedo that absorbs more light and heat energy. So as the ice goes, th

Additionally, severe illness and deaths are a lagging indicator. Cases are going to wildly outpace those figures because of how transmissable this is, until they don't. Deaths especially often take months from onset.

The drier on average can be somewhat misleading: with each +1℃ the atmosphere can hold approximately 7% more water on average. That's why increased incidents of wet bulb extremes are going to kill a lot of people. There will also be wi

Here's some discussion about that. But to put it simply, security is done in layers. Checking something simple like a script before running it is relatively easy and can catch low-effort malicious attempts. Sure, it won't protect

I grew up around fundamentalist religious folks and I am glad that someone else sees the parallel here. And it's hard, because besides the more sociopathic types that are 100% motivated by social status, there are many who really mean

People have been chanting cattle not pets since before Ansible existed, so if people cargo cult it without using it in the way it's useful, there's not a tool out there that's going to really protect people from lack of due d

I'm still not seeing the difficulty with doing that. Basically any daemons that you're setting up using distro packages or systemd service units (which, even though I'm not strictly in love with systemd, is what you should do

Yes, it can get hairy but I just have a hard time seeing an adhoc mess of python and bash doing the equivalent amount of lifting without becoming an even bigger hairball. And the thing is, you can also just run those same bash and python sc

We've been using the git module to pull down the desired version of the repo and then using synchronize to copy it over. That could be used to overwrite whatever was previously being copied from the git repo. So, can you explain where

I think some folks still need to understand that contrarianism is not a substitute for a personality or a careful thought process. People disagreeing with you is not a good metric for being right, or special, or oppressed. If anything, all

That's fair. It's a really commonly implied thing among the quackier side of Lyme treatment that every tick is going to unload a clown car full of pathogens (used to justify even more unvalidated tests). But, by the definition, it

I don't know why the achilles tendon gets so much attention when the structure you really should worry about is the aorta. Recent studies have shown a significant risk of aortic distension or rupture from fluoroquinolones. Among all th

Shingles is caused by varicella (chickenpox) virus that's already latent in your nerves. Really unlikely that it was a "co-infection", it just reactivated because your body was busy fighting Lyme.

Your entire diatribe here is not really responding to me, it's just more monologuing. Frankly, what you're pushing here is the next talking point after climate denial, which is sowing messages of futility. Anything to avoid doing

1. Humans have managed to fundamentally alter the global climate on a timescale of about 150 years. 2. Humans are incapable of fundamentally altering the climate on any significant scale compared to natural processes. Pick one. Yes, feedbac

This is an important point. It's not fruitless to continue to pursue mitigation, but complete mitigation in the sense that we can expect our future lives to look anything like present day is a pipe dream. At this point mitigation is si

If this is the case, then that's not how I was using that word at all. More like, I feel cursed to know this potential outcome, and feel like blissful ignorance might be preferable. Quite the opposite of what you're inferring, I&#

I have indeed been accused when I didn't agree with the objective harm caused. Thankfully, I typically didn't further escalate the situation and act like a jerk by denying their perception of the issue. Just because you don't
