    @jolly said in Masks vs. Ventilation: @doctor-phibes said in Masks vs. Ventilation: @george-k Yeah, but did he research it online? I'd love to see her response to that comeback. It would be too much to hope that she'd just STFU for ever. And I'm a nuclear physicist. Trust, but verify. Well, according to his LinkedIn page, he's a consultant anaesthetist. Kate Beliot doesn't seem to have a LinkedIn page.

    Last Friday I watched someone enter the airport without a mask. 2 police officers came up to him and started a convo. He was loud and trying to walk away. In a couple of minutes a few more officers appeared. He was soon handcuffed and taken away. I don’t expect to see him at an airport anymore. It was not really much of a spectacle. I suppose he will have continue to have narrowing options to take issue with masking.

    Update. If you redd my OP and are thinking of taking up foam rolling -- step away from the Order button and you won't get hurt! Maybe. I ordered the wrong kind, as it turns out -- why it hurts when it's not supposed to. YMMV, but if you're a softie you'll want to learn more about the various options. My current one is medium density, 6" in diameter. Hard as hell and way too big. I'm now scoping out a "soft foam roller" of a 3" diameter. Soft might be too soft for you . . . anyway, point being selecting the right foam roller is not as simple as it seems at first. Be warned. ETA: An Amazon reviewer said this about the Cando-30-2103 PE White Foam Roller, 4" X 12", Round: "I've never understood traditional rollers. They're so big you kill yourself just with the effort to keep you at the same/similar level of it, plus the excruciating/amazing pain of rolling out muscles and IT bands. I'm exhausted just from propping myself up." This reviewer, obviously quite intelligent and discerning, is named NYCReview. S/he is probably a friend of Jon's. S/he goes on: "This size does it all. Rolls out your aches exactly as the big one does, but you can lay on the floor/mat quite comfortably and even rest as you sit on a good spot a while." The Cando brand is sort of shaping up as possibly cheap junk. Might be an okay first purchase if you're not sure about going on with it.

    Fake. I'm pretty sure a former president would never say anything bad about a sitting president, especially when it concerned foreign policy.

    All the productivity gains are due to people like me build computer systems. Of course in most cases every laid-off worker is replaced by 2 high-priced computer programmers.
