If you run out of oatmilk next time you have a hankering for a warm, dairy-free, cocoa-based beverage, just know that substituting blended oats+water only yields snot chocolate.

"The wrong diagnosis always creates the wrong treatment"

We're not suffering from funding, staffing, structural, or service delivery issues. Use all the money, incentives, reorganization, or metrics bandages you want, but if we keep infecting everyone with a neuroinvasive pathogen that causes vascular disease and long-term health issues, healthcare for the masses will cease to exist -- just when we need it the most.

> It is the position of the AASM that the United States should eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of permanent standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology. According to the statement, evidence supports the distinct benefits of standard time for health and safety, while also underscoring the potential harms that result from seasonal time changes to and from daylight saving time.

> "By causing the human body clock to be misaligned with the natural environment, daylight saving time increases risks to our physical health, mental well-being, and public safety. Permanent standard time is the optimal choice for health and safety."

If I'd not seen the example set by proponents on :deadbirb: I would not have known that people actually wore elastomeric respirators in public to ward off SARS-CoV-2, nor had the courage to use them myself.

Just in case you forgot the real reason we can't have nice things..

"Keeping ventilation at the proposed values reduces energy consumption and improves passenger comfort in contrast to the use of higher ventilation rates."

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/10/231031111429.htm

It's always about money+comfort and never about safety or protection.

A long time ago (in pandemic years, against which dog years pale in comparison), I ordered some nano fabric from @Barryhunt008's co, PrescientX. I've been slowly using it up testing various #CleanAir applications. The latest is as replacement for a filter in a HEPA unit with just the right kind of design.

Now I just need to build an enclosed CADR test chamber 😏

Wanna scare yourself for #Halloween? Ask a bunch of different LLMs a math problem and compare responses.

E.g., “For a device running all day every day where electricity is $0.25/kWh, how much more per year does it cost to run a one that uses 10w vs one that uses 30w?”
