The fact that no government has begun investing in N95 manufacturing just screams incompetence. Guess what provides better immunity than a vaccine? A N95 MASK! Guess what works regardless of what virus is going around? A N95 MASK! Guess what can stop ANY PANDEMIC IMMEDIATLY. N95 MASKS! Seriously, this not only helps the current situation but prepares you for ALL future pandemics with out having to develop a new vaccine each time which takes upwards of a year. If you had a stockpile of N95 masks when all of this started we would be living in a different world today. INVEST IN THE NOW AND INVEST IN THE FUTURE.

We tried this before vaccines. It didn't work. Vaccines work a bit better, but they aren't a cure. We need Covid medicine.

Not sure about that. Also depends on how the virus circulates and it's size, the quality of masks, face leakage, surgical mask or face respirator, etc. It certainly helps curbs a pandemic but I doubt it will stop it alone. It's a tool in the arsenal. But yes they should be used reasonably. It doesn't help now that the mRNA vaccines work to avoid severe illness for a limited time and cannot stop the replication because they indirectly present the immune system with only one surface protein of the virus. Not ideal. tandfonline.com/do...

@lucian Would you bring back the threads and replies counters in the profile section? Always nice to keep track of those... The character counter when typing was nice too, but no more there... Bug or intentional?
♦️ Robert Blinov
The threads and replies counters, even when monotone, made me itch because I subconsciously treated them as unread notifications. I like the way they are now. The character counter was nice though.

Last time I simplified profiles so they can be shared on other sites. I'm trying to share mine everywhere I can. Character counter causes me anxiety, I can't focus. There's an idea to turn textarea red if you type over the limit.

Still wondering how we can set up multiple link in our profile, I only saw it in action on @lucian profile...

If you want to add other social networks to your profile, you can do it from Options > Social.

The biggest scam is selling automation robots as a "subscription service" instead of a one time fee.
♦️ Robert Blinov
It's not a scam. It's a business model that's bad for the client.

Do I believe if aliens existed in the past, exist right now but far way (nav.al/far-away) or will exist in the future? Yes. Do I believe if they have humanoid form? No. Do I believe if they have organic bodies like us? No. The very idea of aliens is alien. Lab-grown neurons and neural networks proves us that any form of matter can evolve to reach consciousness.

Just like a god. I suppose that a god may exist, but he (it?) is nothing close to how mainstream religions represent the concept. A theory I find interesting is that god dissolved himself to create the universe.

Very nice post. Not vaccinated yet. I'm not confident at all and don't want to feed the adverse effects statistics. The French lab Valneva is currently testing a virus inactivated vaccine. I'll maybe consider it, depending on the side effects / safety profile. But even with that one I'm not sure... It worries me, I'm at risk at work and I'm 46. Not the best combo...

It's interesting to see how the language in 1984 has been adopted into mainstream society when many people never know the source of the words: "Big Brother", "Memory Holed", "Ministry of Truth", etc..

Should I add "Green Pass" to the list? It freaks me out how every shop in town knows everything about me based on a QR code.

accidently closed all of my tabs(100+) in my chrome(android phone). as many of the tabs were open for months; they don't appear in history. "Recent Tabs" only shows last few tabs. can't find a way how to restore. help if you can. feels sad.is there any file in which chrome keeps a list of open tabs and closed tabs

Money buys politicians. Money buys news stations. Money buys the narratives and stories. Money buys likes, upvotes, shares. Money buys influence. Money buys blackmail material. Money bought nearly every mainstream opinion you hold right now. Who's behind the money?

That's cool. I've been with my current cell phone service provider for 1 year now, and they sent me an email saying that I've used: 256 GB of data, 7128 minutes of talk (118.8 hours), and 4776 text messages. Per day, that comes out to 701 MB, 19:32 time, and 13 texts.
