Pharmacy drive through covid testing concern Could I get a confirmation that our concerns are justified or a dispelling of our worries as there is nothing to worry about in regards to our local pharmacy? My wife picked up meds today and apparently our pharmacy is doing Covid testing. To drive...

My understanding is that KN95 masks are as effective as N95 masks. https://coronavirus.health.ok.gov/sites/g/files/gmc786/f/kn95_respirator_use_statement.pdf Seems to suggest this too. There are some minor differences in the spec (such as ear loop vs head strap) that don’t impact the blocking of...

- Spent a year or so writing about an online game, made low 5 digits, had fun, learned a lot, and was flown out to the coast 3x for conferences. Then the publisher wanted me to go full time so I bailed. - Mystery shopped for a few years...pocket change to a few hundred dollars a day depending...

Somebody already mentioned what I consider to be the best resource, chess.com. Not only can you play online there but they have videos, puzzles, tutorials etc. from never played chess probably up to about 1800 rated player (a strong club member, somebody who does tournaments). There is also a...

You have any information on this? I thought I remembered when this started health insurance companies coming together to offer a to of coverage. And https://www.ahip.org/wp-content/uploads/Health-Insurance-Providers-Act-Swiftly-as-Part-of-the-COVID-19-Solution.pdf Indicates: Granted everyone...

Yeti Rambler 20oz tumblers. One of few stainless steel insulated mugs that are truly dishwasher safe Ice retention is amazing Heat retention also does just as well as Nissan Stainless and better than many others I’ve had over the years We have several that are over 5 years old, some newer...

What type of masks were you wearing? If just cloth they don't really protect you all that much...cloth masks protect others from you spreading it. If a KN95 or N95 mask I wonder if they were fitted correctly. I've always used a smell test to determine if my mask was tight enough, and the...

Curious why not to snowbird? Maybe it depends on how you snowbird (out to events, restaurants, etc.) normally, but if you are social distancing and only enjoying outdoor stuff like parks now, how would it be any different doing that same thing in your snowbird place (assuming it isn’t sharing...

Hmm, not that I see. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=clorox+disinfecting+wipes&rh=n%3A3760901%2Cn%3A15524338011&dc&crid=2YKOCICS2JV2G&qid=1595041212&rnid=2941120011&sprefix=Clorox+%2Caps%2C191&ref=sr_nr_n_5 Shows a few Clorox brand ones but when you click on them they are actually out of stock. The...

I do have a medium bottle coming shipped from Target of some no-name brand with bad reviews I suppose (https://www.target.com/p/defendr-anti-bacterial-hand-sanitizer-16-fl-oz/-/A-80117190) just hoping for somethign better. And for wipes. I know it is probalby a "waste" of wipes, but our main...

So our supplies are getting down there and while I’ve picked up some along the way having troubles locating: Hand sanitizer, prefer individual wrapped wipes but haven’t seen those in ages. Cleaning wipes like Clorox wipes Also, seems like looking at labels there are different alcohols along...

Walking is great for you. My wife is a nurse and you’d be surprised how many people she has convinced to walk and many reduced their blood pressure and many other good benefits. To your specific question, I’ve found using a Fitbit or Apple Watch to gamify walking helps, but even more so doing...

Will definitely enjoy the pizza oven. Enjoy the better smoker. Get it, you know you need it. ;)

Yeah, wasn't really to save money on pizza but more of a hobby, eating healthier (well, at least healthier pizzas, lol), and the fun of it. And yes, the pizza has been very, very tasty. Better than any delivery pizza by quite a ways. Edit: And actually, since you brought it up and I just...

Sure: https://us.gozney.com/products/roccbox It has a competitor too that I considered: https://ooni.com/products/ooni-koda-16 A lot of pizza carts and mobile businesses use the Roccbox, one did a quick demo start to finish for Gozney: Kenji (Food Labs book, nice book if you haven't ever...

Just thought I'd share our new toy. It has been a lot of fun this week. Even though I converted a recipie wrong and didn't use enough yeast the first pizzas coming out of it have been quite tasty. Already had the cart to act as a table when drum smoking.

I've seen soccer golf, but yeah you never know what will catch on and what won't with people. As for the discs, that is true. There are drivers, mid-ranges, approach discs, putters, etc. and even super overstable discs that'll always go left for a right hand back hand throw. The distance...

And when you reach ER, more time to play! I've been out near daily now for the last several weeks doing different courses. Not getting any better than rec player skills, but it has been fun and good exercise.

My wakeup call was actually my wife's health. She has always been healthier than me and still is overall other than for a heart defect we found out about a few years ago. Nothing she could have done as it has been there since birth, but something that is likely to shorten her life. On...

Well I did order some kn95s from the Nomad place in my original post (https://nomadgoods.com/collections/medical-supplies) and they seem quite good. My wife was a nurse (technically still is but retired) and she thought they were good too but a bit big for her (she normally requires extra small...

Winter: 72 day, 62 night Summer: 72 day, 67 night

I agree with this (and rotating if you can't wait to use it again, just be sure to not contaminate your hands/mask then other stuff when you put it into storage. On your 1 hour a day...do you plan to stop rotating between those 2 masks after 16 hours of usage? I ask as the way I understand...

Not that I don't trust the media, but not sure that makes sense to me. Certainly compared to the exhaled air going back out through the n95 filtration it'd be less filtered going through the valve. But is exhaled air through the respirator valve, which isn't just gaping hole and often has a...

So is there availability of quality masks yet? I think there is a plethora of simple cloth masks out there, but those seem mostly to prevent the wearer from spreading droplets and offer a little bit of protection for the wearer. What about the n95 masks, preferably reusable cloth with...
