Speaking of the elastomeric elite.

My 3M 7500 came a few days ago and I've been rocking it when I need to venture out since. Definitely more comfortable and seems a better seal than my Honeywell models. Also despite not having a speaking diaphragm, I seem to be able to speak more clearly while wearing it than in the Honeywell models that don't have a diaphragm, and about the same as the one that does.

One question I've had for the other elastomeric elite though; how should one handle trips to the doctor for poo poo like COVID tests or routine stuff? Since like, yeah, you kind of have to take the mask off to get tested or often examined. But obviously the waiting room is pretty dangerous so I always want to be masked up in there. So far my operating procedure has been to wear it in the waiting room and when I get into the exam room, as prompted, to quickly take off the respirator and shove it in my airtight plastic bag I have with me, and swap to wearing a KN95 until I am able to get outside at which point I respo back up. Just wondering if that's SOP or if there's a better way.

Holy poo poo I had no idea about this.

nobody loving seems to know what dysgraphia even is!

150 overall IQ when I was in elementary school, 136 Motor 152 Verbal.

I was put on that gifted track, it did me little good. 99.9th percentile in the state of California on standardized tests till 6th grade. Then I basically became a walk away. IQ is such bullshit. Who lets a 12 year old be responsible for caring for themselves in America? loving stupid people, that’s who. The same stupid people who make a child’s decisions regarding medication and education.

Thank you for your time. I’ll now pay, pull forward and pick up my Dave’s classic combo at the next window.

early existential crisis from strong anxiety or depressions are also thing associated with the learning difference and good programs try to teach kids how to cope with that too!

basically if you have kids expect then to crack ping in late elementary or early middle school.

I remember I started getting panic attacks at like 12 and not having a loving clue what they were. I didn't get diagnosed with an anxiety disorder until I went to college and had the chance to talk to the campus RN directly.

Joined respirator crew today. Tried using the RZ mask someone recommended earlier and it did not work out. Replacing the filter is way too finicky and frustrating. The valve is easily damaged. Hopefully the HF-803SD mask will work out better.

the power of the 3M HF800 series is unparalleled

these people provide nothing of value to society and think that because they've gathered a bunch of followers on a shitass site that they have the clout to bully whomever threatens their cushy liberal worldview

There was a significant Twitter population of Very Smart Liberals back in June talking about how insane anyone who continued to mask was, wonder where they took their Cave Syndrome essays to.
