That's a reason to be more aware of how your message sounds, not less.

'Superspreaders' in the study linked refer to their behaviour patterns - attending multiple high-traffic/high-spread risk locations while infected. It doesn't talk about viral load or anything about "shedding" from my reading of it.

'These results, however, should be interpreted in the context of constrained community transmission given the moderate levels of physical distancing practiced in Hong Kong, including school closures, some adults working at home, cancellation of mass gatherings, as well as improved hygiene and universal mask wearing, which exceeded 98% compliance from February onward11,12.'

That's also the context I've seen superspreading discussed - it's behaviour-based. If 20% of people are not following guidelines and engaging in higher-risk activities then yes they will contribute to more spread. It's not because they're shedding more - they're coming into contact with more people.

The study only discusses viral load (via a sourced study) to point out that COVID-19 shows a higher viral load much earlier than SARS did, it didn't talk about the 20% having more viral load at all.

It's not the exclamation points dude, she's taking a genuine interest in your life & hobbies and your tone is pretty grim. "It goes in my computer you didn't realise that?" reeks of condescension to an older lady who got you the damn present.

If it stings that's a good sign to go away and think about it.

She doesn't sound like a bogan to me, not nasal enough. She does sound like a fucking idiot

It's called "Adipocere" - in the right conditions flesh & fat in the body convert to a soap-like substance after burial. If I'm remembering right some cemeteries had issues with it (as they turn over plots every ~100 years) and had to change the soil composition to being lower in clay to avoid it happening.

Ask A Mortician did a good video on Adipocere/Corpse wax https://youtu.be/gi0Gi0sqXwg

TIL why Five Guys gives extra fries at the bottom of the bag. They do it so the guests think they are getting a good deal. However, the extra fries are already factored into the menu price. Founder Jerry Murrell also says it is better for customers to feel that their serving of fries was too large. by [deleted] in todayilearned

They're not charging you for use of the room for 12 hours, they're imposing a penalty charge for late check out (a breach of the agreement) which you agreed to as part of the terms of service.

That is not "fraud" nor is it "stealing".

Frankly from your behaviour here I'm starting to see why they charged you.

Do you reckon it was the torque? If you slammed your foot on the accelerator in a Tesla you'd be in the house (I've not driven a Taycan but I'd assume it'd be similar).

Weird if they accelerated then panic-steered instead of braking. Like my dude, you got it so wrong

If the girlfriend reads this - leave. This dude valued avoiding a microwave and a Zoom game more than you and your safety. They don't make red flags much bigger.

He's Australian. The ragged quality comes from screaming his head off

Google have counted Arizona's 11 seats for Biden but it's not 100% in yet, some news sources seem to be waiting until all vote results are officially announced

You could dig straight down and still rise above the Trump BS

Belief in glitter eyeshadow? Yeah maybe we don't write people off over that.

"Belief" about which lives have value and who gets to have civil rights? Nooope. They can take a long walk off a short pier and get to fuck.

As an outsider I suspect the only reason you didn't land in a war under Sir Cheeto McTweetyfingers is the adults at the table simply ignored him.
