If I'm stuck in the same area as someone who is clearly sick (runny nose, coughing etc) is there some combo of short/long breaths or nose/mouth breathing that's a better defense against catching it?

    I think a mask is your best option. If you’re trying to prevent against other people’s illness, you probably need an N95 mask, something that seals around your mouth and nose. A surgical type mask is more to control the droplets and spread of illness coming from you.

    As crazy as it is, seems like their nuts-o messaging might be working. I just had a guy at work talking about this and he’s not one to talk politics, he’s just someone who’s online a lot.

    A friend of mine dabbles in video game collecting so I knew the price was high there for a bit. My OG Wavebird is in a plastic tub in my parent’s basement with the rest of my old video game gear.

    People aren’t going to like this opinion but I’ll start by saying I think Vance is a crap Senator and a simp for billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel, that being said, this cartoon reminds me of one of Ben Garrison’s crappy cartoons.

    Of course he did, one thing that actual bullies don’t like is when someone stands up to them. First they cry foul and then complain until they realize no one is listening, hopefully after that, they lose their power.

    The Republican media arm (Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc.) and by proxy, the Republican Party, have been bullies my entire life. Forgive me that I don’t care that the Democrats are finally standing up to them.

    That’s your opinion and you’re more than entitled to it. My opinion is that having a logo on your jersey is much cooler than having the name of an airline or some other megacorp on it.

    What about blaming the Republicans in congress, like yourself, who refused to vote on the Democrats boarder control policy this year because it would’ve “given the Democrats a win”? What about actually trying to fix problems rather than perpetuate them just to try and get elected? Seems like weird behavior to me.

    Beltway Capital is the group that called the load, JP Morgan sold it to them so they had nothing to do with this. I grew up in WV, Jim Justice is a giant turd. He’s a coal baron that ran and won as a Democrat and then switched parties to Republican. He’s a fucking weirdo like the rest of them, he uses his bulldog’s butt as a “political statement”, as if that does anything to help people from that state.

    Trump, undoubtedly aware of the plan’s growing unpopularity, has claimed, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and that “some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”

    How does he know things in it are abysmal if he has no knowledge of it?

    Yes it would’ve been clearer but that’s not what he said, he almost lost her to the poison that IS coming over the border (emphasis is mine). That is a lie.

    Looks like they missed the biggest factor IMO, shop around when it’s time to renew. I’m saving almost $100 a month on car insurance over last year by switching companies. I have the exact same coverage and deductible. Insurance companies seem to rely on laziness and people not being bothered to shop around.

    Conversely, Miller notes that some technically ultraprocessed foods, like liquid egg whites, raisins and unsweetened raisins are actually quite "good for you," so it's challenging to generalize too much.

    So they’re bad, but not all of them are bad and don’t generalize too much.

    Coke at McDonald’s tastes worse IMO. I don’t mind it out of a can but the only good Coke out there is the Mexican Coke in a glass bottle where they still use real cane sugar.
