Are there any reuseable n95ers? I just did a glancing cost check and they seem to be sold in the price range of 10-30 Crowns per mask ($1-3) here, and 20 crowns per day isn't a negligible reoccurrent cost.

Most of them I've noticed are noted as being reusable at least four or five times before it starts being a concern, iirc, especially if you let them air out for a day or two between uses.

You might want to be extra careful if you've been in a particularly high risk environment (i.e. inside a hospital or whatever), but for day to day use some reuse seems to be okay.

N, R, and P 99 all seem to be about the same thing; 99% minimum efficiency respirators. There's a 100 tier, too, that's 99.97% efficient. Mostly seems to be getting up to the point there's active filters of some sort or another going on, they seem to generally have the lil' insert thingummies on 'em. They're apparently notably less comfortable than a n95, and largely overkill for general use to boot.

I have today learned of the satanic leaf-tailed gecko. Adorably bitey lizards, but they got one hell of a name. *desultory drum tish*

that feeling when you're carrying food into another room, and because your hands are occupied doing that there's not much you can do but watch as the spoon or fork or whatever slides down into the bowl and sinks beneath the surface of whatever you're planning on eating

that feeling when you come across a comic page of darth vader jumping off a winged horse to attack a giant land shark that shoots lasers out its mouth

like

thank you, yes, i didn't know vader riding space!pegasus vs landshark kaiju was something that would brighten my day

but, uh

===

anyway, i can't be arsed to link it but searching google for darth vader land shark will probably find it if you, too, wish to see this thing

E: to be slightly more helpful, it's apparently from the first volume of Darth Vader: Dark Visions, in which annieboy crash lands on a planet ravaged by a world destroying shark kaiju, and then apparently does space wizard battle with it.

I think they're trying to make a joke about the similarly spelled small burrowing mammal?

Contacts with minors are voidable, as far as I'm aware without exception in any state of the US; that is, they can be annulled without consequence to the minor. It's a risk companies take when they make contracts with chilluns, which is one of the reasons any business that isn't skeevy as all hell tends to not do business with them beyond, like, a cash register. If an issue is with underage folks having debts, fucking void the debts. Issuers took their chances, let them choke on it.

I'd probably go a step further and have the sacks of shit that issued the debt to begin with have to pay the kids they tried to entrap double the amount the kid owed, but I'm less sure how legal that would be.

Learned speakers speak the language by the book, native speakers speak the tongue by the heart.

The latter is, sometimes unfortunately, always the correct one, in a way, since it is their language. Even though sometimes they speak so wrongly it makes everyone else both native and taught mad, like people who say "could of" instead of "could have/could've" and similar "X of" constructs, which clearly is not just wrong to everyone who can spot it but also breaks the language in a way that is contrarian to ease of use and understanding but hey they carry the language in their hearts so they have the right to debase and ruin it by their ignorance

the best one is "coulda", which coulda' been any of them :V
