I got a letter from the IRS *yesterday* after waiting 7+ months for a $300 refund saying they finally got around to looking at my tax returns and they're unsatisfied with the evidence I've provided that I paid for health insurance in 2020 and that I had 30 days to respond from the date of the letter.

The letter was dated 20 days ago.

I get that, I just really wish there was something out there that is basically the form factor of an Aura that had mostly re-usable components and you just popped in a new filter as needed. The Flo Mask is pretty close to that but as you said not NOISH certified so really I just wish companies like 3M and Honeywell would make Flo Mask competitors.

For the kids version of the Flo Mask, NIOSH won’t rate them so what can you do?

They have no excuse not to submit the adult model, but it’s possible they won’t because they want to be a fly by night Kickstarter company forever.

My parents just called and wanted to know if my fiancé and I wanted tickets to a big gun raffle coming up in a couple weeks and that they were reserving two whole tables (think long like 10ft tables). I told them gently caress no. This is an event that usually gets like 2500+ ppl and has a buffet like for food. My siblings and uncles/aunts will probably go along with a bunch of family friends so they can all share in the latest superspreader event for our county. No social distancing rules or testing requirements etc because do you think for a second the kind of people devoted to a gun raffle would show up otherwise lol

Suck and gently caress is back on the menu for those guns and half a pig, maybe a kayak full of beer too

They have no excuse not to submit the adult model, but it’s possible they won’t because they’re afraid of what they’ll find.

They should be able to run their own tests against the standard so they'd know before submitting it if they'll pass or not. So yeah, if they don't submit then either they don't think they'll pass or they don't think the cost (I have no idea how much it costs to get that kind of certification done) is worth what getting certified would get them.

The spreadsheet entry is vague, but “held to face” means that he used both hands in a pose like the Merkel rhombus, holding the material against his face all the way around.

The media can be O.K., but they’re worthless without mask fitters. Nose clip isn’t enough.
