"Does the mask (with that leak) now let 100% of the virus through?"
No. The virus is embedded in respiratory aerosols. If you were right next to the person, you would be more likely to get some of those aerosols around your face.
Even then, depending on the size of the leak,

Does anyone have any experience of proceedings in the County Court for a negative declaration? #askingforafriend
OK, so now I have drafted Particulars of Claim, now all I need to do is work out how to issue proceedings in my local County Court.
Hey #Lavrov @mfa_russia:

But no worries, I guess US citizens
want to drink a few Grappas in Rome
or something.
Maybe some sightseeing in Tuscany.
That sort of thing.
btw.: Is the water too cold
for swimming in the Black Sea?

TIL: Using `error_get_last()` in library code is almost always wrong 💥 #php #gotcha
See why this may or may not return a `Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null`?
See why this may or may not return a `Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null`?
We only call `error_get_last()` if we're sure an error occurred. However, while the error suppression operator `@` correctly hides errors, it still calls global error handlers set via `set_error_handler()` outside our control. In result, `error_get_last()` would return null! 💥
To be safe, correct error handling for functions that may report PHP warnings requires special care: Library code needs to account for any global error handlers by setting up a temporary error handler itself using `set_error_handler()` and `restore_error_handler()` ✅ #php
Watching Endgame after some Hawkeye this morning... and it really does improve on subsequent viewings.
And it doesn’t shortchange Thanos as a villain. He becomes more menacing once his plot is undone.
It’s the combat that won’t age well. Goes on for too long, has CGI that will fade, etc. Emotional beats are fast food.
.@nymag and @nicholsonbaker8: This article is filled with wild speculation about SARS-CoV-2's origins and signifies a lack of understanding around basic genetics and viral evolution. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The story cherry-picks from research and statements prior to 2020 to make the same misconceived arguments about SARS-CoV-2 bioengineering that have been debunked repeatedly for nearly a year. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Ex. The story pulls this quote from Feb 2020, saying a coronavirus is “unlikely to have four amino acids added all at once"

TERF Selda Tuncer ne demiş ya bu yayında çok onu merak ediyorum. Mesela ifşa ve cinsel taciz meselesini anlatırken TERFdaşlarının tacizci adamları aklamak için dalaklarını yırttıklarından bahsetmiş mi? Bu insanlarla iki yıldır neden halay çektiğini açıklamış mı? #AskingForAFriend
2 yıl boyunca kadın düşmanı şeyler RT edip, kadınlar biyolojik olarak erkeklerden geridir diyen bir adamla canlı yayın yapsam Twitter'ı başıma yıkar, anamdan emdiğim sütü burnumdan getirirsiniz haklı olarak. Söz konusu transfobi olduğunda niye herkes bu kadar yüce gönüllü acaba?
Burada translara zorbalık yapan, bununla övünen ve insanların hassasiyetleriyle alay eden, akademik gücünü transfobi kusmaya adayan, her eleştiri sahibini bloklayan bir insan Selda Tuncer. Taciz konusunda özeleştiri vermeden ne anlattı allasen? İnanamıyorum bu duruma.
(Zoom in on photo) the Big banks that can’t fail have now purchased $1.8 TRILLION in Credit Default Swaps (CDS) yes the same CDS that helped caused the Financial Crisis of 2008. @jpmorgan has increased there Swaps by $100 billion since last report I’m sure it’s fine!
Why are the banks buying trillions in CDS?! #AskingForAFriend @DiMartinoBooth @GeorgeGammon @bondstrategist @chigrl @HRGPFOREVER @EndTheFed001 @RetirementRight @NorthmanTrader @hendry_hugh @PeterSchiff @realJosephRich
@jpmorgan has $2.6 trillion in assets with $59 trillion in Derivatives I’m sure this ratio is perfectly fine.

Back in the day I served with the Canadian Armed Forces. The red tape reached legendary proportions. So everybody has to love the "get rid of red tape" campaign led by the Muppet Minister Grant Hunter, right? #handsoffmypension #redtape
Only thing is the GOA, as is so eloquently explained by Dave, is not getting rid of red tape but rather using it as a weapon against people and institutions they don't like.
Hmm...sort of like teachers' pensions. #redtape

"I want to feel close to Russians" is an odd way to phrase things - especially when you are a devout Mormon who takes baptism pretty darn seriously.

In lieu of creating a whole new account/blog documenting the anti-Micronesian hate I see online, I’ve decided to just make a thread of it. I encourage everyone to read through it, share their own, contribute, and RT. Will be using the hashtag #BeingMicronesian with this thread.
Here’s my previous pinned thread about some of the anti-Micronesian hate I’d recently seen in a #StolenStuffHawaii post. #BeingMicronesian
Here are the screenshots from the same #StolenStuffHawaii post, unedited... (Part 01)
Do @AdamSchiffCA and @SenWarren care to comment about their buddy #SamanthaBee calling a woman, mother and public servant a “feckless c**t” and telling her to dress like a hooker? The same woman who’s currently working on #PrisonReform cc: @TBSNetwork @TheDemocrats
Is that your office #AdamSchiff as your constituent please answer why this is okay? Though it’s something you probably wish you could say yourself that’s why I’m voting for @Johnny_Congress #FullOfSchiff #TakeBackCalifornia
Dear @BarackObama and @madeleine do you condone calling women “feckless c**ts” and telling them to dress like hookers? #AskingForAFriend
Sorry for the rant but #MichaelHastings deserves justice he was being investigated by the FBI at the time of his death, all things old deserve new light. #WeRemember
Obama appointee at DHS suggests to the "team" that maybe they should just call #MichaelHastings to help him understand the mission. One year later he was dead.
