Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.

100% agree. Genshin is grindy AF

Seriously, they care about this so fucking much, it’s just boggling

And despite masking, COVID spread all over the globe and killed a fuckload of people.

Would more people have died if there was no masking? Yes, absolutely.

But the question of interest is: how many fewer people would have died if we made a concentrated effort to improve ventilation in public spaces?

Maybe I’m completely missing your point, or maybe you’re just being snarky/contrarian and don’t really have a point, but it sounds like you are basically saying (reusing the above analogy) “Why are we talking about adding seatbelts to cars when we already have helmets?”

Well so there’s the question: how much more effective is good ventilation than masking? I was under the impression that it’s, like, a lot. Orders of magnitude. Like if good ventilation was equivalent to seatbelts in cars, then masking would be wearing a helmet while driving.

But perhaps someone who is better at reading scientific results could find the study and come up with a better analogy for us laymen, in case my understanding is way off base. If it’s actually that masking is more like airbags, then I think people would be a lot more amenable to doing both.

Politicians occasionally like to throw money at things (PPP loans and forgiveness), so maybe we could convince them to throw it this way.

Hence inspections. Like we have health inspections for restaurants, we could have HVAC inspections.

I saw a study a while back that claimed that good filtration and ventilation systems in indoor public places were more effective than masking. If that’s the case, what I’d like to see is subsidies for businesses and public buildings to get.new systems installed, as well as new minimum air quality standards for public spaces with inspections for enforcement.

“Inflation seems really bad”

“But TVs are cheap now right”

“Yeah, but–”

“And every household needs, like, at least four TVs right? And people probably buy roughly 3 new TVs a year, right?”

“But what about food and housing and–”

“Bro they are saving so much on TVs it makes up for it! Call it 2% for the year, done”
