[02:41] DaemonFC Not running the heat makes the refrigerator work less, and then you use even less power.

[02:44] DaemonFC So not running the heat too much in the winter helps offset that. [02:44] DaemonFC The electric company says I'm about 30% less efficient than "all neighbors" with comparable units in the summer, but I'm about 25% more efficient than "efficient neighbors" during the winter.

[03:14] DaemonFC I'll go get a test if I'm having symptoms of a respiratory infection. [03:14] DaemonFC But it's pretty pointless to just go get a test every week when I feel fine.

[03:21] DaemonFC There's pills you can take, and soon a shot you can get every two months, but that's not a vaccine. If you stop taking it, the protection disappears immediately, and the longer you're on those drugs, the more likely you are to harm your bones, kidneys, and liver. [03:22] DaemonFC And frankly, if you figure you will get HIV eventually without that, you should probably just slow down.

[03:24] DaemonFC The CDC wasn't doing a hell of a lot, granted, but it didn't make them go to the bathhouse, use drugs, and skip the condoms. [03:24] DaemonFC It was Fauci that was put in charge of bungling that. [03:25] DaemonFC This guy is warmed over shit from the 80s [03:25] DaemonFC Now people are surprised.
