Soap Scum posted:sounds stressful af for your friend god drat but glad he escaped unscathed on the trip. any chance you know the general class of mask he wears? like p100 / n95 / kn95 / etc Breatheteq KN95. FWIW, I also daily-drive a KN95 (BNX) and it fits me like a glove, while KF94s don't fit snuggly and most N95s strangle my huge head. Interesting how fit varies person to person.

Lib and let die posted:I found the face of danger Costco free samples suck because they have stuff like "Libby's vienna sausages" or "tyson chicken nuggets", who doesn't already know what these products are. It just creates a giant shopping cart clusterfuck of dipshits who are incapable of spatial awereness. When it's some random new/niche thing it's whatever, like maybe you want to try that prepackaged item before committing to buying 10 pounds of it, completely reasonable, most people just walk past it anyways as they're not interested free or not so it doesn't have the same impact.

Does anyone find that iota carrageenan gives them post nasal drip? I feel so gross the day after I use it but I don't know how much of that has been wildfire smoke and/or various other non-respiratory virus reasons.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR, however in terms of ingredients I don't see how spraying your nostrils once or twice a day is fundamentally different from swimming in the ocean daily. It's just salt and water and occasionally a binding compound

Putting just about anything up your nose may or may not cause irritation. Carrageenan is generally regarded as safe and well-tolerated, but some people do have allergies or sensitivities to it, including some people with alpha-gal allergy (which, incidentally, is more prevalent in many places than people appreciate) But if you've been breathing wildfire smoke or had a respiratory infection I don't think you can really pin it on the nasal spray

Carrageenan is generally regarded as safe and well-tolerated, but some people do have allergies or sensitivities to it, including some people with alpha-gal allergy (which, incidentally, is more prevalent in many places than people appreciate) Yeah that's what I figured. I tend to have sensitive passageways even in the beforetimes (double beforetimes of before the pandemic and before garunteed smoke season). Sometimes regular saline nasal rinses just don't feel great. Is alpha-gal allergy something you can get without the tick bite? I also don't use it daily. Just a hermit and I use it once or twice a week for groceries/etc. I probably wouldnt be able to tolerate it for more than a day BUT beats getting covid again.

in my day job I have to deal with a lot of suppliers and vendors. never have to meet them but need to talk to them and send and receive emails from them. one of the suppliers had not been responding to emails for 3+ weeks. then suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly I get a reply. rep says they have been bedridden for weeks with a "mysterious illness" and since coming back to work they are having difficulty concentrating and remembering things and needed more than usual help in preparing for what we were going to talk about. we setup a video call meeting for the next day. the rep looks a bit beat up, like physically bruised, when I see them on the webcam. I don't ask about this but while we are doing our opening chatting before getting to business they mention that just the other day, the rep had been outside and suddenly felt a bit queasy. next thing they remember is waking up on the ground after apparently losing consciousness. thankfully there was no permanent damage beyond some bruises was this a result and consequence of covid? they didn't say nor did I ask. this isn't the first time I've heard a story like this. it is not even the first time I've posted something like this. never in my career have I had so many sales reps tell me about unexpected, mysterious health problems they or their immediate family have developed. I do know that our corporate purchasing manager was a few months ago out for 10 days with what people told me was covid, so covid is definitely circulating in those networks and in the buying and selling positions you see a lot of people face to face in small rooms. a bit worried about people I know and deal with suddenly contracting, and at unheard of rates, illnesses that are really walloping them and giving them lingering issues. bedpan has issued a correction as of 02:50 on Sep 11, 2023 |

It just creates a giant shopping cart clusterfuck of dipshits who are incapable of spatial awereness. Costco free samples are just shopping hors d'oeuvres. Sometimes the stuff being sampled sells a little better than it would have otherwise, but the main point of it is that it rewards people for coming in and making a lap of the store. It’s especially effective on kids too. Go to Costco and maybe buy some stuff, and you can have some free snacks and a $1.50 hot dog while you’re there. From what I’ve seen and heard there’s a lot of people who associate shopping at Costco with getting free samples. The second biggest reason to do samples is to spur impulse purchases, and in both cases it doesn’t matter if people already know what chicken nuggets taste like, the point is to influence their behavior by giving them a treat they’re going to like.

This dumbass company has still not even uttered the word COVID other than that bullshit "slow the spread" campaign from like March 2020. i shared a car with and kissed someone less than 24 hours from when they started feeling symptoms and popped poz on a rapid test and i somehow avoided it, that has been my closest known contact. this was last summer. so... delta? i can't keep track anymore. anyway maybe you'll magically dodge it like i have.

Some more BA.2.86.x stuff from the UK, particularly highlighting the care home outbreak:https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...cal-briefing-53 posted:(..) This seems like a variant still in the process of optimizing point mutations (e.g. the easy low-hanging fitness optimization). The eye-popping number of people having received the spring booster is bad news, but also it is always worth remembering that the UK vaccination program is atypical: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-spring-booster-resources/a-guide-to-the-covid-19-spring-booster-2023 posted:(..)
