D&D is where the decorum-poisoned liberals post, C-SPAM is for the radical fringes™️

Though bizarrely the C-SPAM Covid thread is both historically the most-accurate one on SomethingAwful and at this point one of the better curated sources for accurate Covid info on the entire internet as long as you look past the agoraphobia.

Did they figure out a way to do this without people just making extremely simple electromagnets that break the sensors on the way out.

Yes, it doesn't use exit sensors.

Make sure you shave every day if you're going to wear one of those masks.

And that you've been fit tested on them.

If you have the resources and ability to fit test and find the perfect mask that's great, but also if you don't pretty much any FFP2/3 mask is still going to be a substantial upgrade over a cloth mask.

I've been liking the 3m Aura FFP2 - https://www.medisave.co.uk/3m-9320-disposable-aura-respirator-mask-unvalved-ffp2.html - because it has a flap to go under my chin which holds it in place well. They're like £1.80 each, comfortable and last ages.

For a while Home Bargains were selling boxes of 16 Honeywell FFP3 masks for £4, dunno if that's still a thing though.

A mask that doesn't fit is still letting things in.

Sure, but even if it's not a perfect fit a FFP2/3 mask that has headstraps and a mouldable node bridge is almost always going to fit better than whatever cloth or earstrap surgical mask someone is otherwise wearing. Which means

serious gaylord posted:

At that point you might as well be wearing a cloth mask.

Nope!.



The point I'm trying to make is don't let an inability to do a fit test discourage you from upgrading, even if the benefit is only marginal instead of perfect. Nobody should be wearing cloth/surgical masks at this point.

I just do the former outside and don't treat the latter as a group activity, though I'm not trying to kink-shame

Discussing different covid strategies isn't kink shaming, lighten up.

I won't vote for Labour under Starmer, no. I'll vote for the greens. I don't want a green party government but I want whoever does the Labour election retrospective to see that my vote moved left away from the party.

When Starmer is no longer leader I'll reconsider.

Boomers - various definitions, basically 1950s & 60s. I'm a boomer/Xer cusp. Definitely more of an X-er when comparing the relative life experiences.
