I assume you put the small pan inside the big pan and then put cling film over the big pan so that it dips in the middle, then the alcohol boils off, condenses on the cling film, and drips towards the center and collects in the small pan. Like a moisture collector only much smaller and electrically operated. Or you could just buy a retort flask.

I was really scared of this in February, like more scared than I've been in a loooong time. Eventually I absorbed enough despair that an integer overflow made me feel better. Its not a strat I recommend though. Partly because I'm hoping what I'm currently suffering from is a mild version of it and it's mostly over. Had a lovely bug for like 2 weeks now. Median covid length is 20 days, max is 40. So I should hopefully be better by next week. As for being a pessimist, I think it's possible something good comes of all this but this past year I've just found myself flabbergasted again and again by the insurmountable power and ignorance of our government and media in shaping the discourse. So I'm not convinced that can be overcome. I reckon bojo may quit though.

SpicePro posted:That and uh I work in the travel sector (IT, mind) and that's probably my job gone. How am I going to pay for...anything? BalloonFish posted:This is the first time I've been without a job with literally no idea or prospects as to how to get another one. My gf has suggested me for a temporary factory line job at her work (a produce/veg distributor) because they're working like mad to keep up with the demand from the supermarkets. But that'll in all likelyhood crash in a few weeks and then the normal business model would switch from selling British produce to selling stuff imported from...Italy. So who knows what's going to happen come April! Solidarity to you both. I'm on a one year contract that was supposed to become a job offer in June, so suddenly having to worry that not putting extra staff on payroll as the economy melts will be an attractive option for the company. I think 'start early' is a good mantra if you think you might need to be claiming for some government support.

Median covid length is 20 days, max is 40. So I should hopefully be better by next week. I genuinely wonder if a bunch of us have already had this recently. I spent two weeks with a persistent cough and intermittent shortness of breath that just cleared up last week, before that my brother-in-law had a really gnarly flu and i know a bunch of people my age (early thirties) with similar stories over the last ~6 weeks. I'm hiding from the world though because who knows... Hopefully the anti-body test comes through soon. Am I right in assuming that once you've had it and recovered you're basically fine to rejoin society?

So, I've been thinking a bit about the today's "gift" to renters. I'm not sure if they've said they will come up with more, but as it stands it's an utterly unworkable solution; nothing more than a spit in the face of the young and the poor. What's a person to do when, in the next weeks, they get laid off their already low-paid job and no longer have the ability to pay their insane rent? Sure, they can't get evicted for 3 months, but then what? They are stuck, many in a foreign country. The lucky ones might be able to get support from, or travel home to, their family, but the majority will not. Unless the government implements a hold on rent payments, UBI or a full reimbursement, what the hell will stop massive, desperate riots? ugh I'm angry

apologies in advance for the stupid post I got a call a couple of days ago off the guy I buy weed from asking if I wanted any of the stuff he's just got in, which I didn't because I got some recently that I've barely touched because now seems like a bad time to be smoking a lot. Then we got chatting about corona and he mentioned how it might be the last he had for a while because he's going to be hunkering down for the duration (he has health issues and it's not a huge source of income for him) basically, it got me wondering about the impact this will have on dealers in general things like heroin, you have to imagine the demand is going to be fairly constant so it's more a question of whether they'll catch it and if they'll become a major vector. also if the streets are relatively empty it might be a bit more obvious if you're moving around (esp if they go full on 'write yourself a permit to be outside' like France or Italy) weed, people will be trapped inside and bored so the demand probably won't be reduced, but in some cities half the market might disappear if the universities close and students go home if there are far fewer parties and the bars and clubs aren't open, I imagine that's going to reduce the demand for white powders at least a bit are drug dealers going to be the hidden economic victims of this pandemic? I don't think they'll be getting a bailout

blunt posted:Am I right in assuming that once you've had it and recovered you're basically fine to rejoin society? Important note, you are most likely not. It is unclear exactly how long you remain infectious after you yourself get over the infection. Some of the monitoring shows the virus persisting for a decent while after symptoms clear. So you'd be fine around infected and people who've gotten over it themselves but not good to visit your nan. That said that is another thing that is uncertain so if anyone has recent data on that they've come across do chime in.

To some extent it will depend what you mean by 'once you've had it' too. If you think 'once you've had it' means 'still coughing a bit but generally able to function' you're probably wrong in using that past tense.

thespaceinvader posted:To some extent it will depend what you mean by 'once you've had it' too. I guess i mean "you feel normal but the anti-body test confirms you've had it". What i'm wondering about is like Munin mentioned above - how long you might transmit it after you're over it and more importantly whether you have the ability to pass it from someone infected to someone uninfected without being reinfected yourself.

Also even if you personally are immune to the virus you can still carry it around on your body, clothes or other items so don't go thinking you can completely ignore all social distancing even if you definitely can't get ill again
