Ugh. This made my stomach knot up. That was probably someone’s mom. She probably had beautiful stories and a lifetime of experience to share. It’s fucking awful. Fuck this war. Fuck Putin.

But if there is some sort of breathing technique that works

The purpose of this post was to try to find an answer to this question

Thanks.

Can someone please explain the meaning of the last panel?

Wow, thank you! This is by far the most helpful answer. I will take a stab at grokking this paper.

Because I don’t always have an N95 mask on my person? Because I can’t always 100% control my environment, but I can almost always exercise some control over how I breathe?

The mask replies are super frustrating, haha.

Instructions unclear, need new underwear now.

Thank you for addressing my question. I’m aware of masks, lol. Any idea about nose vs. mouth breathing? Nose hairs filter some stuff, but then these aerosolized droplets are in my nose, so maybe that’s worse?

Regarding short vs long breaths, I was kind of wondering if short breaths might limit how much virus material was inhaled. Restricting oxygen flow might be better if the exposure was short term.

Fascinating proposal, professor. Thankfully I can adjust my equations quite easily:

2 ≥ 2

I don’t trust the liberal science agenda so I did my own research. Using some back-of-the-napkin math and my telescope, I’m now blind from looking at the sun through a telescope. This is being transcribed by my trad wife. My results:

2 > 1

This one checks out, folks.

Dental plan!

Use vs. Possession

Possession is the behavior that’s typically illegal, but use is legally tolerated because people can be exposed to it (the article gives the example of farmers being exposed while producing legal hemp).

The fun is just starting. Only a matter of time until the glaciers melt even more and release untold hell upon us!

Unfortunately I’m not young enough to pull this off anymore, but back in my early 20’s I would engage in some light identity theft for the purposes of free luxury golfing. I have two rich uncles who are both avid golfers and both members of a ridiculously expensive country club in the city where we live. They also both have sons, and the club benefits extend to all minor children. So, I’d pretend to be my 17yo cousin and with my other cousin (who was only lying about his age, not who he was), we’d regularly hit the links. For non-members, the typical price for a round of golf was like $200

Never start a machined bolt/nut with your electric drill. Start it by hand first.

In a perfect world, they keep right on marching to the kremlin, shoot Putin in the head, turn around and walk home to Ukraine without any more death or suffering

Unrelated to the story, but that dune buggy/atv thing in the thumbnail looks fun as hell

The cars are actually great, unfortunately

Gedanken, fiction, satire, being a silly goose, just joshin around… call it what you want. Lol, sure, even delusion if you really want. A brief respite from the burden of reality was always the point.
