https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LqaotiGWjQ The War on Sensemaking, Daniel Schmachtenberger What can we trust? Why is the 'information ecology' so damaged, and what would it take to make it healthy? Rabbit hole stuff. To be clear, finding it pretty hard going. What's wrong with blogs people? or even books? You're so clever, write stuff down. That requires the ability and intent to read, which is, sadly, becoming more rare these days. Now, it's also the f-g Zoom.

Here is a real life situation for you... Was standing in front of a window to deposit something (came out for the first time in a few days, apart from walking around) The 'tard to the left (not a protestor) had his mask hanging at his belt while loudly proclaiming something... I had some cheap mask on (as the pic said, potentially just 30% protection). Did not pay much attention...but today have scratchy throat..took some vits, we shall see.
The question is: if someone mouth something close to you while having no PPE, what to do? Do I politely tell him to STFU, or do I tell him/her to move away or be silent (if retreat is not possible). Or do i simply think positive thoughts? Choices, choices.
Another choice are homeless, which are dime and dozen at the intersections. As we know, at least half of them are infected. Do I help a fellow man in a calamity or do I drive away, windows closed, AC turned on inside only? What a bummer.
maybe will buy a chunk of btc...just in case.
*sigh* P100 respirator. Yes they look a bit silly (not so much anymore) but they do provide real 100% protection on particles down to .3 microns which includes this virus. And asbestos. I wear one when shopping as does the wife because if I come across a mouth breather like Pence I can be certain I will not die due to his stupidity. Problem now is I have a limited supply of replacement cartridges. Yes the ones in the units are fine (and I only wear them around people) but when I was planning I was thinking NBC which would have a much lower half life problem then a stupid virus. On the positive side I have a huge stupid HEPA air filter here in the house I can cut up to make new filters for the cartridges. I can see why the "Christian" dominionists would complain about wearing masks and distancing: Their idea of a proper apocalypse is for people to all turn on each other, ripping and rending so they can come out on "top" and be "in charge". People cooperating and helping each other screws that whole model up.

Interesting thought: I could rig the flamethrower to shoot a 5 foot burst. That could work really well if I had to travel to say Florida: I was both following the law, enforcing the law, and standing my ground. Hm......

For this purpose, I recommend these Swedish pattern logging boots, from White's out of Spokane, without hesitation.

Reminds me of that buffalo boots on all the raves of the mid 90's. Even some guys wore them, not sure if they all were ghey. But, you know, honestly, imho, all in all... at least... a... lil... bit ... ghey. The boots looked good on tall women, though

suit yourselves nothing like a leather reinforced vibram sole for curbstomping mouthbreathers though also available in corks, but urban environments wear them down pretty fast

Uh. And also politics. It's all about image. It is necessary to not wear masks.
It's necessary for politicians to look like idiots? The premier of Ontario thinks otherwise. You don't see him anymore without a mask. He figures he's buying votes. Masks look idiotic. MORE IMPORTANTLY, we instinctively do not trust people who hide their face. Especially politicians. There is no possibility that Trump will begin to wear a mask. He knows how humans work.

The rubber sole is more comfortable on longer walks and when running, after they finally broke in. Switching to a new pair was blood and pain. These where like curbstomper standard back then. Color-coded lacing, of course EDIT: Gawd, now i remember the boots the nazis were wearing: bulldog (iirc). Hard, black rubber sole, leather insole, army grip style. They were faster in winter, when the marten's became slippy to run with. But the bulldog sole got hard as rock in cold weather, you wouldn't want to run too far wearing them. They looked way more aggro, though. BTC c'mon bullflag! complete! BTCLet's see how strong resistance really is!

This is where mine come from. https://www.doublehboots.com/I've had a pair even since my teens and they last 10+ years with a heel change somewhere along the way. Fit like a glove and I wear them everyday.

Fit like a glove and I wear them everyday. Nice. How long to break them in? I left the leather boots because of work. Career and boots didn't quite match. Sometimes i wore some black, high top classic Vans, the closest to a boot i could get. I don't count the wellingtons, i put them on rarely.
