This is very pertinent information that I stand behind strongly.

Thanks a lot, good advice. I live alone so I crank the AC when I'm home, but I try to make all my human interactions distanced and outdoors. Zero chance I'll be back in the office in 2020.

Household AC and meat-packing plant cold + close proximity are very different imo. One study I read said that even summer AC still has a lot more overall moisture in the air than winter cold or indoor heating in winter. So while it's not as good as outside in the sunshine - it's still better than either indoors or outdoors in winter.

I hate to say it but the sweet spot might be blasting your AC but leaving some windows open so the air moves around.

no

ketchup fun facts

it's origin is as a fermented fish paste out in southeast asian

sailors brought it back and tried making it first with mushrooms as a heavy fish replacement before eventually settling on tomatoes

many households would produce their own ketchup and the original ketchup product advertising was all about promoting the time saving aspect of buying instead of making

the only reason why ketchup has one specific style today is due to heinz/hunts dominating the market and redefining ketchup to be what they made whereas we still have dozens of different kinds of mustards etc

The sweet spot is to have a water-cooled ceilings like my office block.*

Air-conditioning in the home might be ok, because at least it's only blowing viruses around the same people. I wouldn't be that keen on having it in a home or office.

* This perhaps doesn't apply if you live in a desert.

Is Spain missing from that or have I just gone crazy? It should be somewhere around 1 or 2 DPM at the moment.

Yeah, interesting stat came out for Slovakia today. Of the 1513 cases total, 116 of them are people assumed to have got infected in the UK then returned - which is about the same as the number of Slovaks infected in Bratislava (the figure for Bratislava is 209 - but this also includes imported cases and the national average is that 43% of cases are from abroad, so the actual number is somewhere in the low 100s too).

Off-topic (but the Americans are posting plenty off topic too), the UK is run by Brexitards because they were the only people who didn't want to make the last two elections (and all the other political activity since then) a re-run of the 2016 referendum, presumably because the other politicians are like the Gorgonites in Small Soldiers; despite being nice they are programmed to lose. With an opposition strategy of accepting the referendum, Cameron/May's 5-year term would be ending this month and we'd probably have a change of government (and Brexitards would not even be a thing). IIRC you were not among the people arguing for that strategy.

I dont think its the place but the Brexitards running the gov voted against May's deal. So eh?

FWIW I arrived at supporting passing Mays deal not that I liked it but it was obvious opposing it would only mean a more right wing Boris brexitard government full of the lower IQs of the tory party (support for brexit being a selective process for low IQ).

Semi-related, the one time I exposed myself irl to a friend was when I told a wacky Twin River story in the thread and then relayed the same story to him live and he was like 'you're 27offsuit?..." Oopsie.
