3 days shy of a month in quarantine with who knows how much time left and my dishwasher and clothes dryer broke within 3 days of each other.

gently caress me.

if it's electric and you unplug it and pull it out, dryers are pretty simple things with very few non-obvious things that break. you can probably take the back off and see something easy like a belt slipped off. if it's gas powered... ehh i'd be more careful, you can gently caress things up to poison yourself with CO or worse

dishwashers are a little more complex but just be smart when working on water--know where you water main is and how to get to it fast

Nonmedical Masks in Public for Respiratory Pandemics:
Droplet Retention by Two-Layer Textile Barrier Fully Protects
Germ-free Mice from Bacteria in Droplets

Cleveland, OH, USA

quote:

Microbiological analysis of the germ-free status of the mice, before and after two rounds of 106
spray-droplet exposure in the first phase of the experiment, showed that all animals after being 107
sprayed with a cloud of droplets at 60cm (inoculation dose: 600-1000 bacterial droplet units per 108
56.75cm2), with no textile protection (simulating not wearing a mask) showed signs of microbial 109
contamination within 18h (fecal culture), by either exposure to the droplets in the environment, or 110
by inhalation, ingestion, or exposure to the droplets on mucous membranes. In contrast, the germ-
free status of the mice that were covered with the autoclaved textile EDB, remained germ-free three 112
days after exposure indicating that the textile barrier was extremely effective at retaining bacteria 113
carrying droplets, reducing thus the absolute contamination risk (0/12 vs 6/6, Fishers exact, 114
p<0.0001). 115
The second phase of the experiment (repeated exposure with 10-times more droplets), with 116
12 germ-free mice, showed that the textile-EDB maintained all animals germ-free, even after 20 117
droplet sprays at 60cm, while mice located at 180cm became colonized by bacteria-carrying 118
droplets with a single spray (0/8 vs 4/4, Fishers exact, p=0.002). Collectively, barriers protected 119
all mice (even with low textile density; heavy vs light fabric, paired t-test, p=0.002) against high 120
droplet doses (2 or 20 sprays) if the EDB fully covered the cage (0/20 vs 10/10, Fishers exact, 121
p<0.0001).

yeah im a maintenance engineer at my job and so im trained to like overhaul engines and poo poo but when that stuff breaks i also have to fix it and you can definitely just wing it if you have even like an exploded diagram

yeah I do the same thing but field service and for primarily automated equipment, conveyer systems, etc and the variety of what I work on basically means I'm never working on the same thing twice and am literally always winging it

honestly, working on consumer poo poo (appliances, cars, etc) is more of a pain than what I do right now because that poo poo is usually not assembled start to finish by one guy in a plant so it's typically less serviceable

at this point i've still only seen one person (and kids) wearing a mask. i don't care i'd rather get looks than get corona.

Wtf. In my part of Australia it's about a third of the population wearing masks now.

We have 56 deaths nationally.

Edit: To be fair it's an Asian part of town, so masks were common before the outbreak.
