Just to add, when I did some research on excimer lamps last week, producers are few, and the research I discovered were sometimes using the 253nm lamps, but adding filters to get to the 210-220nm range. It quite confusing, to say the least.

Welcome, Zoom employee. The 'privileged' condescension tact will not win friends and influence people. Have you tried meet.jit.si? It's secure and free, no account or download needed. Cheers.

Netguard proved to me that, despite never having a FB account, I surely had dozens upon dozens of shadow accounts. Pretty much any new hardware that had vanilla Play Store apps were ratting me out the entire time.

Examples on Android for 'an intercepting proxy' are No Root Firewall, and even better, the paid/donate version of Netguard, which allows you to permanently kill these errant calls. Additionally, you can disable Google Service

1) Grab Netguard, 2) Donate to Marcel for key to get granularity 3) Turn off ALL apps, so when they launch they have no wan access. 4) Open each app one by one, noting what links and phoning home the app tries to perform 5) Watch in disgust

To my knowledge, only 1 photo of me exists online (I've never even taken a selfie), in a concert crowd that showed up in our online newspaper. Feeling pretty secure about that.

I won't disagree with any of that..but, for example, if I pay rent in cash, I will cash out the Fed account to pay rent. The Fed account is simply a mechanism for me to cash out. But yeah, someday the bills themsleves will have RFID-li

That's what I'll do...simply cash out the Fed account, and pay cash as I go.

That, and I think disposable nitrile type gloves are way underplayed as well. They're easy to remove inside-out, limiting exposure when disposing. I remove one to get into the car (clean hand on handle), get inside, hold empty glove i

Says 56.33% efficiency after OH bath...too much for me. I too have a Breville Air Oven, and will simply collect a few masks and bake. A few percent efficiency drop is more palatable.

You should read the factcheck.org link more carefully, as it details/addresses these points, and also indicates congress indeed funded (they control the purse, after all) the CDC, despite Trump's proposal.

On the Caribbean and Mexico cruises we've taken, we spent a few days before and after in the US ports Fort Lauderdale and San Diego, so it is common for both same-day flyers and short term stay visitors to embark.

They do, but delivery is priced-in, and it becomes a time versus money trade off.

If I were the panicky type, I'd prioritize input before 'output', it seems more limited and difficult to remedy by comparison. edit: besides, if I've done the former properly, the latter takes care of itself.
