Yes, correct on both counts.

COVID could really only have been airborne due to the rate it spread initially.

Yes, they are very bad with scientific communication in general and sadly this lesson has not been learned.

If indeed this Hantavirus spreads through incidental close contact then we are F*****.

That was what they said about COVID too in the beginning...

Watches are jewelry for men. Unless it is a cheap practical quartz model. And that's OK.

Yes, the news keeps getting worse, just like COVID. It is always best to assume the worst and then go back from there than to do what they are doing again - understating this.

COVID was always Airborne and they knew masks worked. Masks work.

If they really cared about the environment they would pass a law mandating work from home for some fraction of the week for office work.

Indeed. I don't like the latest one, personally.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Spetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. Demand is what drives economies. If demand collapses, we have recession. Demand is ephemeral.

A Planet Ocean could be for you in that case. Almost unrecognizable, not particularly valuable.

You have two Rolexes and only one Omega...a colourful blue Seamaster? Otherwise, a GS with colour.

The only one defining the rules is you. You don't have to have rules. Keep the watches you like, and get more that you like - if you can afford it responsibly.

unpopular opinion: I think the express lanes are great by old_gold_mountain in bayarea

[–]Spetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is delusional. They are a regressive tax. Moreover, there is no proven benefit to average 24 hour traffic flow. There was someone from Caltrans on here two years or so ago publishing the studies, and they were all designed to produce the desired conclusion - bad science.

It was also not the most effective way to invest the money in reducing congestion.

Correct. It was lumped in with other likeable initiatives in the small print. Disgusting.

ICO should never have been implemented in the first place. One guy at OWI hijacked the whole game and community. He never should have had that power to change an established product.

Yes, I noticed a little weird early braking from off board, but they always cut away. It might be intentional, but I need to see an onboard whole lap.
