schestowitz-TR | I see a lot of negative light around Twitter lately | Apr 22 10:31 |
schestowitz-TR | Facebook also, but FB as long had this issue | Apr 22 10:31 |
schestowitz-TR | There are 3-4 links about it in the Daily Links and posts in IRC | Apr 22 10:31 |
schestowitz-TR | When accessinf Twitter last night I saw still "faking" of "engagement" | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | but I also saw Twitter apparently retreiving the black man meme OK on 20 Apr | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | i.e. quite a few days after it was first published | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | and less than a day before I noticed the broken file | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | I hope it's just some rare technical glitch | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | rather than me being 'shadow-edited' | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | rianne and I might go cycling today for the first time Oct 2019 | Apr 22 10:32 |
schestowitz-TR | Depending on the state of the chains etc. | Apr 22 10:32 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 22 10:36 |
Techrights-sec | you mean the Yo Dawg recursion meme? | Apr 22 10:36 |
schestowitz-TR | the meme from the post about LF CoC | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | when you spot something missing, however rare, it's worth understanding why it happened | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | so it does not happen again | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | the faulty backup file is something we saw weeks ago but did not worry about too | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | much as soon as TM was restored to normal | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | cycling can be done here near canals and in parks, avoiding both risky and pollution | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | getting to the canal involved crossing the road once | Apr 22 10:38 |
Techrights-sec | from last week or so? | Apr 22 10:38 |
schestowitz-TR | yes, my first reaction was, maybe someone did not like it and can access that file | Apr 22 10:39 |
schestowitz-TR | but it did not look tampered with | Apr 22 10:39 |

Techrights-sec | Ubuntu 22.04 seems to allow/push M$ ActiveDirecctory integration during the installation. It's tragic that "AD" has been allowed to | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | proliferate to | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | the extent it has now spread. It also pushed integration with online | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | accounts rather than warning | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | The installation process also pushes a lot of proprietary applications, | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | again without warning or alternativces | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | It seems to be getting further and further from Freedom | Apr 22 14:50 |
Techrights-sec | And firefox is a 'snap' not a normal package | Apr 22 14:50 |
schestowitz-TR | back from cycling, we got big discounts at the store too | Apr 22 14:51 |
Techrights-sec | excellent | Apr 22 14:51 |
Techrights-sec | how many km ? | Apr 22 14:51 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe 10, but canal and up/downhill | Apr 22 14:51 |
Techrights-sec | nice. sounds scenic as well | Apr 22 14:52 |
schestowitz-TR | more than 100 geese on the war, some toulouse geese and swan too | Apr 22 14:53 |
schestowitz-TR | we fed some, but bread runs out | Apr 22 14:53 |
schestowitz-TR | anyway, first time in ages | Apr 22 14:53 |
schestowitz-TR | I am going to open these two links now | Apr 22 14:53 |
schestowitz-TR | earlier this week I read that russian sanctions now mean more "lumber" (nature) gets taken away from nardic nations | Apr 22 14:58 |
schestowitz-TR | this overpopulation thins won't live much but conrete jungles within 50-100 years | Apr 22 14:58 |
schestowitz-TR | *won't leave | Apr 22 14:58 |
schestowitz-TR | even when humans are gone the ugly jugles will stay around for a good while | Apr 22 14:58 |
schestowitz-TR | but if humans nuke or "conventionally" bomb the jungles, it's even worse | Apr 22 14:58 |
Techrights-sec | Yes lumber comes from the Nordic nations which consist of tree farms. There | Apr 22 15:03 |
Techrights-sec | is actually very little forest remaining, just tree farms of various sizes. | Apr 22 15:03 |
Techrights-sec | At least trees are a renewable resource if managed correctly and part | Apr 22 15:03 |
Techrights-sec | of the natural carbon cycle not breaking stuff out from the fossile carbon | Apr 22 15:03 |
Techrights-sec | pool | Apr 22 15:03 |
Techrights-sec | The peat farming is a different matter though, that carbon is on the way out | Apr 22 15:03 |
Techrights-sec | and should not be used. Peat is a step next to lignite :( :( :( | Apr 22 15:03 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) I did wonder about 3-d printers before | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | like car-sharing, or printer-sharing (in households) | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | I think it's far too wasteful, unless you do it as a professionm, to have a 3-d printer at home | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | thje printers such | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | they cannot cut hard metal | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | CNC it's called IIC | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | better to have various shops across town, you give them cad files and they make it for you | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | better quality, less waste | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | manchester had an experiment to that effect | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) gnu/linux distros shilling proprietary junk for "advantage" is NOT a new think | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | happened a lot in the 90s | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | the news is, ubuntu is becoming less like debian and more like.. not sure I should say windows | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe android/ios/ oSUCKS | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | I noticed the same in LMDE installer and said it in IRC in real time that day | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | they listed more proprietary things (promotions) than the free stuff | Apr 22 15:08 |
schestowitz-TR | ideally, I think, companies that make "things" should provide CAD files for key components | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | esp. if they don't offer repairs or spares | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | then, when things break, you can take the "order" (cad file) down to the local shop | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | but the way today's things are manufactured ispoor in the modularity sense | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | they just don't make it repeairable | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | that's afterthought at best | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | I checked some electric kettles today | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | bought none, I do't trust them to last long | Apr 22 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR | we'll keep using the hob with a pot | Apr 22 15:13 |
Techrights-sec | ubuntu seems to be more like iOS but whatever it is, itseems more and more | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | proprietary each release cycle | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | apparently there are a lot of CAD files for 3D printing various car-related | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | widgets | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | hob with a pot works rather well, especially if it is covered; there are | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | also the old style kettles which sit on the hob and whistle once they have | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | enough steam | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | they need to be decalicified periodically though | Apr 22 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | just like the others | Apr 22 15:18 |
schestowitz-TR | our broken kettle started rusting at the bottom after just a year | Apr 22 15:18 |
schestowitz-TR | we rarely left it with any water inside | Apr 22 15:18 |
schestowitz-TR | these things are not made to last | Apr 22 15:19 |
schestowitz-TR | it's not an objective | Apr 22 15:19 |
schestowitz-TR | and their competition seems to be in kahoots | Apr 22 15:19 |
schestowitz-TR | cahoots | Apr 22 15:19 |
schestowitz-TR | with them on it | Apr 22 15:19 |
schestowitz-TR | why not? | Apr 22 15:19 |
schestowitz-TR | what have they got to lose? | Apr 22 15:19 |
Techrights-sec | there is the potential for some new legislation requiring 'reparable' products | Apr 22 15:34 |
Techrights-sec | however the devil is in the details and the actual definition and requirements | Apr 22 15:34 |
schestowitz-TR | 0/ | Apr 22 15:38 |
schestowitz-TR | definition of "green" cars: proprietary piles of shit. "THROW AWAY YOUR OLD CLUNKER!! | Apr 22 15:38 |
schestowitz-TR | Buy THIS new cars... and then use the brand news batteries, recharge them using air and water ;-)" | Apr 22 15:38 |
schestowitz-TR | or with "green" charging stations, in ... | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | you get my drift | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | sometimes the legislation doesn't tackle the core issue, which keeps the money | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | 'circulating' | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | car-sharing is not even in the books | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | even though it is very practical when you know neighbours | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | having a car unused 95-99% of the time is money down the drain | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | and you might be better of with taxis | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | gov. can lower their tariffs, e.g. by offering them cheaper fuel | Apr 22 15:39 |
schestowitz-TR | this is something which was done when I was a kid | Apr 22 15:39 |
Techrights-sec | yes taxis are still rather cost effective compared to full ownership of cars | Apr 22 15:52 |
Techrights-sec | despite the outrageous rate increases | Apr 22 15:52 |
schestowitz-TR | like trains, buses etc. | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | they are very good for | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) env. | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) locals, esp. lesser privileged | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | but they are not good for moneyed interests, not limited to car "companies" | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | insurance etc. | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | so you would expect antagonism to affordable and DECENT public transport | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | the trains here became as expaneive as flight tickets for some routes | Apr 22 15:54 |
schestowitz-TR | you would get a better fare for a flight between UK cities | Apr 22 15:54 |
Techrights-sec | there's probably no avoiding needing 1 car if one has kids but with proper | Apr 22 15:56 |
Techrights-sec | infrastructure, it should be possible to avoid needing a second car | Apr 22 15:56 |
Techrights-sec | most routing trips, such as a work commute, are usually better via mass | Apr 22 15:56 |
Techrights-sec | transit; the time can be used for reading or similar and not just wasted | Apr 22 15:56 |
Techrights-sec | behind the wheel | Apr 22 15:56 |
schestowitz-TR | I have taken a TOn of BS out of my life | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | I still gets tons of spam from my bank tryint to sell my lifestyle through loans | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | the more incure people are vulnerable to this | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | they are desperate to show off to people | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | like Ryan's sister in law "MARISOL" [sic] | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | overcompensating for growing up in a slum | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) 1 kid is already too much. The cost of a first is almost the highest | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | for a whole lot of reasons (yes, we discussed it here before, many times) | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) second car is like second home (divorice) | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | (rianne has just interrupted me, saying the enrgy company sent a person here today | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | to read the meter; they seem to treat us specially now) | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | 3) looking for parking is time-consuming, the 6-10 costs and chores associated | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | with owning a car aside (I used to enumerate them mentally) | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | 4) public transport is safer, the fact you can read while traveling being a plus | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | some even electric sockets | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | but reading from paper is good too | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | if only all these "self-driving" fantasists stopped and thought what that means | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | wrt to public transport | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | The Register wrote today about how 'drivers '(now passengers) would be allowed | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | to watch a movie | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | they can do the same inside a train | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | and it's a lot safer than letting a non-human driver crash into things | Apr 22 16:02 |
schestowitz-TR | like cyclists or even walls | Apr 22 16:02 |
Techrights-sec | loans are (most of the time) for fools | Apr 22 16:03 |
Techrights-sec | yep there is a perverse incentive pushing divorces on society, however | Apr 22 16:03 |
Techrights-sec | it's more of the same: | Apr 22 16:03 |

Techrights-sec | show up and actually read it | Apr 22 16:03 |
Techrights-sec | If I recall correctly up to a third of the distances driven in cities is spent | Apr 22 16:03 |
Techrights-sec | hunting for parking; it should be treated more like a routing problem with | Apr 22 16:03 |
Techrights-sec | dynamic signs and such at key intersections to route traffic to the right places | Apr 22 16:03 |
schestowitz-TR | cars are just too big | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | even bicycles can be big | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | hence the foldable ones became a hit | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | in japan they have machines thet stack them up underground, IIRC | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | sksteboards are OK logitically | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | or scooters | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | but they have an image problem | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | weather aside | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | you can take them into the office without any problem | Apr 22 16:05 |
schestowitz-TR | no need for locks or worries about weather etc. | Apr 22 16:05 |
Techrights-sec | I don't think that most people consider hunting for parking and getting to or | Apr 22 16:07 |
Techrights-sec | from the parking place as part of the time cost of any given trip, even | Apr 22 16:07 |
Techrights-sec | to downtown | Apr 22 16:07 |
schestowitz-TR | "you need to use the car!!! You already paid for it! The battery is low! Show | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | people you have a car? What else is the point having one !!" | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | it is the same with flights | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | the overhead associated with getting there, waiting, takeoff, landing, passports and check-in for international travel ( | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | even domestic needs check-in, same for boats) | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | the advertised time is marketing 101 | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | and it is mentally draining too | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | but they focus on the meal inside the plane | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | or the "lounge" at the airport | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | the gates to the plane are no lounge and you don't get a holicopter from the living room to the airport's roof | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | they have sayings along the lines of, | Apr 22 16:11 |
schestowitz-TR | everybody shits | Apr 22 16:12 |
schestowitz-TR | or something along those lines | Apr 22 16:12 |
schestowitz-TR | (sometimes farts) | Apr 22 16:12 |
schestowitz-TR | as long as you are human you cannot avoid the tolls and the 'downtime' | Apr 22 16:12 |

schestowitz-TR | I did have some open office experience over the years for a few days | Apr 22 16:21 |
schestowitz-TR | t | Apr 22 16:21 |
schestowitz-TR | That has educational value: DO NOT DO THIS | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | They make even 6-figure salary engineers sit in a little cubicle | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | to "maximise" value derived from them | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | it's a cage or leash of metal and glass | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | aka "the dream job" | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | few jobs, from what I have read, pay that much and also let you work from home | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | pandemic aside | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe 10% of the jobs or less | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | IIRC, during pandemic it rose to 20% | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | but, you know, it's "over now" they insist | Apr 22 16:22 |
schestowitz-TR | so probably bakc to the prior % already | Apr 22 16:22 |

schestowitz-TR | i lack statistical data | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | though I sure some exists | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | but pot smokers, to me, seem like people who die earl | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | george carlin, carl sagan, many others | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | you rarely hear stories like, | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | "i was having fun smoking joints and here I am aged 90..." | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | I reckon the probability of this is reduced by a lot | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | last night I had a strange dream | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | where snoop dogg (notorious weed smoker) commits suicide | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | and someone tells me that | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | when I woke up I realise it's not even so far-fetched | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | many others rappers I listened to are already dead | Apr 22 16:54 |
schestowitz-TR | very many | Apr 22 16:54 |
Techrights-sec | well maybe it puts people more in tune with reality :/ | Apr 22 16:55 |
schestowitz-TR | (I never ever smoked weed; I see no reason to either as alcohol is cheap and works) | Apr 22 17:00 |
schestowitz-TR | alcohol here would cost about 2 pounds for 2-3 glasses of wine | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | there are cheaper drinks, but they typically mean more calories too | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | and brewing/distilling process I would not trust | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | I rarely drink | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | hallucinations and happiness are not the same thing | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | both get you away from sadness, the first one more tempoirarily | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | and at a< high cost | Apr 22 17:01 |
Techrights-sec | no and hallucination is not part of the "normal" weed experience, but the | Apr 22 17:01 |
Techrights-sec | modern varieties have magnitudes more psychoactive components than the old | Apr 22 17:01 |
Techrights-sec | ones | Apr 22 17:01 |
schestowitz-TR | slow news day again, rianne has just "cleaned my feeds" (that's how we say it) | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | she thinks in terms like cleaning, she keeps the house nice and tidy | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | (unlike some "local" girls who can be slobs) | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | not sure if it's a cross-generational thing or cultural | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | there's a new "starbucks" near us | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | now we can taste some "Murica" | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | I spoent ages at the coffee section, which was vast | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | some brand sell the same things at like 10 times the ptice | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | *price | Apr 22 17:06 |
schestowitz-TR | one "famous" coffee was 13 pounds for 1 KG | Apr 22 17:06 |
Techrights-sec | nice | Apr 22 17:07 |
Techrights-sec | sounds like great teamwork there | Apr 22 17:07 |
Techrights-sec | The markup at Starbucks is probably terrible; you can get the same coffee | Apr 22 17:07 |
Techrights-sec | beans for 1/10 the cost somewhere else in town; you're paying for | Apr 22 17:07 |
Techrights-sec | 1) having the coffee then and there; 2) the logo | Apr 22 17:07 |
Techrights-sec | Some cultures carry thermoses everywhere | Apr 22 17:07 |
schestowitz-TR | thermoses were every common when I was a kid | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | then they mostly vanished | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | as if they were a failed idea | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | same for hot water bags | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | grandparents used them a lot | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | they are ery efficient, next to actually drinking a lot of hot brews | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | which direcly passed the heat to the circulation | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | of one's body | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | atm (still in process) I brew 1 litre of "Arabia" | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | 1.39 iirc, for 27 grams | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | one soon per 1.5-2 litres*spoon | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | the filter is about 3 pennies | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | and lasts me about 7 litres | Apr 22 17:10 |
schestowitz-TR | so water and electricity became a noticable portion of the overall cost | Apr 22 17:10 |
Techrights-sec | you can have very good coffee in a thermos for 1/10 - 1/20 the price | Apr 22 17:11 |
Techrights-sec | correction (according to going prices) the savings would be at least 1/50 | Apr 22 17:11 |
Techrights-sec | officially it is 7g - 7.5g per 1.25 dl depending on the roast | Apr 22 17:11 |
schestowitz-TR | we got the brewer at 80% at clas olson closedown sale | Apr 22 17:13 |
schestowitz-TR | I add some soy drink | Apr 22 17:13 |
schestowitz-TR | we try not to buy milk unless it's heavily discounted (80-90%+ off) | Apr 22 17:13 |
Techrights-sec | a percolator makes good coffee too | Apr 22 17:13 |
Techrights-sec | soy drink or irish cream ;) | Apr 22 17:13 |
schestowitz-TR | it is a percoilator | Apr 22 17:15 |
schestowitz-TR | we finished 2 or 3 bottles of irish cream this past month | Apr 22 17:15 |
schestowitz-TR | we only have wine left, need to replenish but aldi is full | Apr 22 17:15 |
schestowitz-TR | of covidiots | Apr 22 17:15 |
schestowitz-TR | 2,000 deaths a week is nothing anyway | Apr 22 17:15 |
schestowitz-TR | "man up, son!" | Apr 22 17:15 |
Techrights-sec | :) | Apr 22 17:16 |
Techrights-sec | one can boil coffee too: boil the water and throw in ther right amount | Apr 22 17:16 |
Techrights-sec | of grounds ad then take it off the heat and serve as soon as they grounds sink | Apr 22 17:16 |
Techrights-sec | it helps to shop a few days before the general payday, when most everyone | Apr 22 17:16 |
Techrights-sec | is too broke to buy anything | Apr 22 17:16 |
Techrights-sec | the stores can be quite empty then | Apr 22 17:16 |
schestowitz-TR | Friday noon/lunchtime was good enough. In most isles (~30 meters) it was only us | Apr 22 17:16 |
Techrights-sec | nice; there are /always/ too many people here regardless of when, it's just | Apr 22 17:22 |
Techrights-sec | slightly less crowded certain times over others never clear of crowds | Apr 22 17:22 |
schestowitz-TR | if you feel unwell after you came in close contact with peopole, this can lead to dtress | Apr 22 17:22 |
schestowitz-TR | worse, it can lead to illness | Apr 22 17:22 |
schestowitz-TR | if you feel unwell but you hardly left the house of dressed up like Subzero from Mortal | Apr 22 17:22 |

schestowitz-TR | that's 1:10 ratio | Apr 22 17:44 |
schestowitz-TR | like I pointed out the other day, when it's 1:2 or 1:3 it means your local authorities | Apr 22 17:44 |

schestowitz-TR | as crowd sizes double, passage rates more than double, but the relationship depends on the nature of interactions | Apr 22 17:54 |
