Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

@Lawless

Talk about the size of vapor vs the average spit/spray droplet.
Spit or mucous coming out of your nose or mouth is trapped by that mask (its science), not escaping to the sides.
Looks like that person took a huge breath in of a vape device and exhaled.

Then look into contact vs droplet vs airborne precautions for illnesses.

People dont cough up just 1 virus particle. Its part of fluid or mucous being expectorated.

Im no koolaid drinker (unless there is a good bourbon named Koolaid), and I do know a thing or two about the medicine side.
Including having been directly exposed to HIV, the Hep crew, and TB.
Then only people who are coughing or sneezing or are confirmed positive should have to wear them IMO.
 
@Lawless - on that we agree.

Im not advocating or supporting ANY of these huge mandates.
I am a fan of personal choice if it doesnt harm another (such as murder of an unborn baby). If someone is scared or high risk, they can choose to wear one.


@timesublime - there are more stories, thats just the worst of them.

I always wore Carhartt dungarees with a scrub shirt to work (and often cowboy boots when I was a charge nurse). Had a chick on Ecstasy Flip her head to the side and got a full bite of the fly of a pair and thrashed her head around.
Missed it all, but dang that was scary!!!

She got a few hundred milligrams of Ketamine after that as a nice cup of STFU. 330mg or so if my memory serves me.

I heard on the news that prisoners in Kalifornia were purposely trying to infect each other so they could be released.

 
Because it’s not a binary world we live in.
It lowers the chance of spreading the disease but it doesn’t eliminate it.
Why have a gun when gunowners gets killed by robbers? You can’t ask that question because you assume the world a binary, but it’s not.
 
COVID-19 is not airborne but IT IS aerosolborne which means it can be transported by drops of fluid and that is why you should wear a mask.
Any Questions?

So if it is aeroslborne would it pass through the mask or around the mask? I have read it can last up to three hours in the air.

I have no problem with folks wearing a mask. I do have a problem when government orders people to wear one.

But if I dont have Covid 19 why do I wear a mask?

Pregnancy is transported by drops of fluid.........I dont always wear a condom everywhere.

Lots of things are transported where is your line what other things would you mandate we do in life because....."Maybe"

If you fear cv-19 take your precautions let other adults take their precautions.

Saw a whole ton of fanfare and panic two months ago. Cuomo was going to run out of respirators, hospital ships were going to be full, temp morgues were built......

None of it was necessary.

Now we are in a "surge". My God its like the "Iraq Troop Surge"!

and the sky has still not fallen.

You might not know you have COVID-19 because it can take up to 14 days before symptoms show

... and you’re clearly not an adult

I might not know I have a lot of things yet I dont go full stupid.

Fuck on occassion I have to come near people with much more dangerous shit TB or Hep and yet other than my personal ambition to protect myself there is no concern.

These ill people walk amongst us with no scarlet letter to identify them and society/the economy carries on.

Yep.
If masks work, why the need to shut down businesses, social distance, or release inmates?

No need for me to reply ^ 😄

I’ve had it, I don’t want it again. I am against mask mandates. I do not belive they are slowing anything. Now back to pics and take the mask discussion to the Bear Pit.
 


How cool is this!!

There is another film of him on Bonneville with the tractor... but can't find it.

Cheers,

That’s actually quite amazing. Wonder how low they had the tires to try and soak up any bumps? Wonder how many times he recommend the route for pot holes? No suspension at that speed could go sideways in a huge hurry.

not taking sides, but this is the information/thinking behind flu vaccine and masks

ive cut a lot out (most is boring) but this information is generally accepted for a laymen's explanation



Flu vaccine/shot is studied and begins production many months before flu season.

at that time the disease control docs go through information and choose what strains and mutations of the"flu"should be most common this coming season

the shot/vaccine is usually created targeting 3-4 different strains...its impossible to make a vaccine for 100 strains etc.

if the docs guess wrong the flu shot is not very effective (efficacy), for the last 15 years or so they have been pretty accurate targeting strains.

yet, even if they choose incorrectly the administration of a flu shot has shown to have cross effectiveness which can reduce symptoms.

again even if the doc choose correct there can be antigenic drift (mutation) possibly making the vaccine less effective, cross effectiveness may still occur.


as for masks, of course the closer to N95 the more filtration is had

but for aerosol virus transmission its about "virus density"

the bigger the glob of saliva or snot the more active viruses are inside

the more active viruses transmitted the higher probability of contracting the virus

the belief is that if everyone uses a face covering/mask there will be less "large virus dense" droplets being exhaled from a infected individual

less large "virus dense droplets" equal less chance of transmission/contraction

My Gillette Fatboy from the 1950s

View attachment 7381029

Decided to go double edge in response to Gillettes campaign against "toxic masculinity".

Best grooming decision ever!

Shaving for me is now the experience chicks get sitting in a tub with rose petals, scented candles and chamomile tea.
That is an excellent analogy! I enjoy the experience now instead of it being a chore.

Fatboys are really nice but that big ole head...

Have you ever tried a Tech? I have 2 coming. My favorite now is still my Krona but I have been told once I use either of the Techs I will be a Techie LOL


The other advantage is, if you’re a prepper, you can buy 1000 excellent blades for about $60...Shark Super Chromes or about $80 if you must have Astra.

Got more than a years worth of blades, 100, for $16 or something like that.

I have a pre war and a 50s vintage coming. Ebay and Etsy, you can get a really nice one for around 30-40 or a slightly homely one for under $20.

These guys will get you one with fresh nickle or rhodium plating - gold wouldnt even be a consideration. Nickle is great on my Fattty.
