  1. "When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

    Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

    Honestly, calling for a boycott was a pretty stupid move on Trump's part. He could have easily just pointed out what Goodyear was up to and let people make their own decisions from there and came out winning on this. But, by expressly calling for a boycott, he's signed himself on to average workers potentially losing their jobs in the fallout from this. Workers who live in a swing state and could have been potential voters of his.

    but you have labeled senior citizens, you know, "scary old people", for a long time.

    They are quite terrifying when they're in seats of power, like Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court.

    I've been advocating for years for a mandatory retirement age for public officials. There's always outliers, but for the most part, mental and physical faculties begin to sharply decline in people's 60s, and I'd rather not have a bunch of geriatrics holding the purse strings and nuke codes.

    Sorry but he made a misogynistic comment without supporting evidence. This has been followed by several others doing exactly the same thing. I merely made an observation.

    Now if they all wish to provide proof, go for it.

    Well, for starters, former San Francisco mayor admitted to having a relationship with Harris while he was mayor and married. He was in his 60s and she was in her late 20s at the time. Dunno about you, but I don't know many women in their 20s who go after dudes in their 60s for bf material based on their six-pack abs and charming personalities. He also admitted to using his influence to help her get jobs in government while they were dating:

    So, I mean it's not that far out of the realm of possibility to say that she slept her way up the ladder of government. Definitely not misogyny.

    I believe there's enough of the proverbial fertile ground here for the both of us to be correct. Are regular surgical masks, if properly utilized, beneficial in the prevention of the spread of influenza? Yes and no.

    Yes, because the mask pore size is small enough to sufficiently stop a majority of aerosolized sneeze and cough droplets from going into the local atmosphere; at worst, they slow down particles enough so that they don't travel nearly as far as they would have if unobstructed. To your point, there are also particle sizes small enough to make it through.

    What these masks are most efficient at is stopping enough of the aerosol particles from escaping or traveling far, thereby reducing the potential viral load someone in close proximity would be exposed to. Bio-load is a critical factor in whether or not someone gets ill, because the typical healthy human immune system is more effective at fighting off lower viral loads.

    This shit isn't going to flatten the curve...

    So what don't you like?  The pictures, the chart, or the bottom line?

    Your methodology is a bit flawed.

    I did a deep dive on mask pore size on this thread a few weeks ago, but I'll repost here:

    "You are correct about the average size of typical viruses. However, viruses do not exist in a vacuum; on their own, they cannot travel very far, and can be quite vulnerable to outside influences, such as temperature, relative humidity of the air and UV light from the sun. As such, viruses need a transmission vector in order to spread. In most cases, that is usually droplets coming from sneezing or coughing. Those droplets are much bigger than the viruses they carry; usually around 0.6-1000 micrometers (um)."
