@Pat I suspect respirators, much like masks, promote the spread of disease rather than hinder it when used in the way the general public tends to use it. If people used it properly it might have some advantage, but most people pull them down to eat and drink regularly and dont change them out often, which likely promotes the disease more than stopping it.

Sadly without good data either way its only speculation.

@Pat I dont think businesses here would require masks except by law. In fact, even now with it being a law a lot of businesses outright refuse in protest. Most of the corner stores here and mom and pop stores will go out of their way to tell you they think masks are silly for one reason or another.

You know my opinion on masks, I think they probably (though I cant be certain as the data is sketchy) that in the hands of the general public wearing them probably causes the virus to spread faster rather than the intended effect of slowing it down.

Of course, thays why i prefer to maintain distance and avoid scenarios where a mask is needed at all, safer than needing to put my theory to the test, that way I dont risk anyone either way.

@Pat Yes the notary was after they put the mandates back in place. It was just a disposable surgical mask as I have hundreds of them in my medical supplies here.

Stores here require masks by law as of 2 weeks ago, I went tot he notary about 2 weeks ago.

@Pat I have effectively not needed to wear one as I've stayed out of places where I cant maintain distance. I dont think I had to wear one once except for the one time I had to go to a notary. I get all my groceries delivered for example. The few times I have been in spaces where I couldnt distance was by the time the mask mandates were lifted.

@shoshin Great to have you here!

@djatropine444 I could kinda get the inferior audio of a record, since it is a physical medium and might add pleasant distortions. But the distortions added from magnetic tape are generally unpleasant so its harder for me to see the need.

While I find reel-to-reel to be cooler than record I could actually see a reason to justify a record player maybe, if your into that old-time sound.

@redwhitebluedude Just remember to take the tracker out first :)

@djatropine444 I always wanted a reel-to-reel.. I jsut cant justify the cost for inferior audio quality. but I love the idea of it.

@biomedmax No, in fact ADA will likely be less effected than other crypto as it has a lot positive going for it. This will probably effect crypto in general and simply include ADA.

I dedicated a shelf in one of my rooms exclusively for charging all my shit, including rechargeable batteries themselves. Pretty much everything but my laptops. My desk was getting way too cluttered.

@djatropine444 record press is a cool project, especially considering there is a legit need with demand for records high and record presses a bit hard to come by (affordably) and all.

@1iceloops123

Nice deal.

@swiley

@1iceloops123

50 dollars per coin or totay for your 20 -22 grans?

@swiley

@1iceloops123

Fair point.. plus 10grans isnt worth a whole lot anyway. I wonder how its price chart is looking these days, I dont hear much about it anymore which suggests to me it might be on the way out.

@swiley

@1iceloops123

I've got way too much money sitting in crypto to pretend it isnt real :)

@swiley

@djatropine444 Depends what I'm buying. If all I want is a 2 - 4 pack battery ill go with amazon as they are quick and well priced for small orders. If im buying any significant quantity of electronics I usually go with arrow as they do free overnight and are priced well. Digikey, mouser, and newark are always options if i need something hard to find.
