You know I’m pretty sure that readimask hasn’t manufactured any new masks in months or years, because I don’t think anyone has ever bought any, and when they ran out of the small grey masks they never got any more, but it’s frustrating because it’s the only product that really just works for getting a haircut. That has to be why the only masks they still sell are yellow, because they’re so drat ugly and embarrassing no one has bought out the remaining stock. They do have extra large grey masks for people with faces 4x as big as mine. I wish more people cared about this stuff outside the thread, there aren’t any covid safe or outdoor hair salons anywhere as far as I can tell, and any reviews or marketing that mention it are from 2020. You’d think that if 5% of the population was still being cautious about this there’d be at least one hair stylist among them per metropolitan area.

Why Am I So Tired posted:I don't have a discount code, but I'm pretty sure this is the cheapest and most reliable place you can get them from now. thanks! GATOS Y VATOS posted:if you don’t mind looking silly, Blox duckbills are N95 and I find them more comfortable than the Auras. also, they are dirt cheap now. I actually have a ton of vflex duckbills already, but at least the package I have open (I bought a ton of those super bulk discounts awhile back but havent opened cuz they're for ~community~) has a defect(?) with the metal nose bar getting warped really fast, like within a potential day of use depending on how much don/doffing one does. The auras with the felt nose pieces seem much more resistant to that sort of thing and last way longer if you're regularly taking the mask on/off

What are you guys doing for haircuts? Do you just hold the mask in place when you take the straps off?

BusError posted:I'm sure the answer is "ehh probably helps a little, probably doesn't hurt, not really sure", but do we know anything about how Xlear brand nasal spray stacks up with the others? I'm about halfway through a bottle of Enovid and would rather replace it with something I don't have to pay a jillion dollars for and import from Israel when it gets low. I happened to notice Xlear on the shelves in Walgreens when I was there grabbing Pax, so if that stuff compares favorably to Iota Carrageenan (which I think is still hard to get as a commercial product in the USA?) that'd be sweet. Xlear has xylitol, which, as far as I know, is only affective against bacteria. I'm interested in trying the iota carrageenan sprays myself, I see two brands online that have it: Betadine and ePothex. Does anyone have any insight into these brands?

I bought clippers and scissors in March 2020 and was fully prepared to shave my head if it came to that. Instead, Wifezwang learned how to cut my hair pretty well from a few YouTube videos

Death of Innocence posted:What are you guys doing for haircuts? Do you just hold the mask in place when you take the straps off? I go to an appt only barber in a solo shop where the door is open in most weather and fans are running. Barber in a KF/KN95 or surgical and me in my N95 that I earloop hacked. Barber lifts the loops out of the way the short amount of time needed whilst mostly maintaining the tension for a seal. I also now use the iota carrageenan spray pre and post. Up until last winter I had my haircut at home.

Gunshow Poophole posted:reading the NYC thread the big EZoo debacle is mainly because the lovely PE company that owns them can't pay any of the vendors lol From what I've heard through the stagehand grapevine it really sounds like this one died of a thousand cuts Contributing factors I've seen (all secondhand, mind you): -New production company fired a ton of people involved in the festival in the past, losing existing knowledge that's essential for getting things done in time -Said production company also has a history of stiffing rental vendors so this year vendors were refusing to drop off gear until paid in full up front, which is extremely unusual for productions of this magnitude -Ever-present staffing shortages that continue to plague the events industry -Proper permits weren't approved in time -City safety inspections found violations numerous times, causing work to stop each time -Timeline given for setting up the stage would've been tight even without the delays, and more or less impossible with the delays This wasn't quite a Fyre Festival level of mismanagement and planning fuckup, but it's still a pretty drat impressive failure

I have long hair so once I found a good earloop mask I just used one of those. That said the salon I go to is mask friendly and about half of the people in there are masked when I go. Plus easily obtainable iota-carrageenan in Canada. I did tape a mask on my face but I did use medical tape and put a little effort into not making it look like poo poo in other circumstances. Duct tape seems harsh on the skin.

Washington state's weekly wastewater update, cobbled together from the state's downloadable excel report and supplemented with scaled National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) data when available. Solid lines are from WADoH data and white diamond dots applied to scale are from most recent CDC/NWSS data (if available). I've distributed 31 sewersheds across 5 charts grouped by approximate geographical region then alphabetized by county. See the tables below each image for definitions of WADoH IDs, Date last sampled, Trend (based on change between the averages of the two most recent weeks measured), and Service Area for city names/regions. The Coupeville wastewater treatment plant from Island county is a new addition to the state's data file, however it doesn't yet show up on their dashboard so I don't know what the ID is and I'm not entirely sure of what its service area covers, which is why it has question marks.

They say it's ebola run amok out at burning man. I'm willing to go ahead and say it's probably not ebola. Might be that other hemorrhagic fever that came from Europe on that flight to Boston a few months ago, but probably not ebola proper.
