@barney LOL now im lying about my professional accomplishments... Im listed prominently on the website of the lab I run, and we list our publications.... so all your proving is your an idiot who makes acusations without even the slightest effort to validate the nonsense you spew,.. you should be ashamed.

@bonifartius this particular application might be fine with a traditional relational DB... i do want to code it for high load, but that should be easy even with a traditional DB due to a pretty clear seperation between reading and writing

@barney Funny how you actually having addressed either of the points I made, b3ecause you cant because they are well established and accepted by virtually every scientist on this planet... Both my points are undeniable.

1) The use of disposal masks for extended periods of time (more than a few hours) has a lot of risk factors for the spread of disease:

2) The use of masks is harmful tot he interests of the deaf community since they are unable to lip read which is essential for their day-to-day functioning (this one shouldnt even need a source).

But yea... take two very reasonable positions, and turn that into me being republican... what an idiotic white-knight bullshit.

So the mask guideline of a few hours is the one recommended by the CDC for nurses in medical situations. It was the normal guideline before COVID.

During covid there was a mask shortage so they generally recommended to the general public relaxed guidelines and suggested 24 hours max.

But considering these guidelines were chosen particularly in light of a mask shortage I would say the original guidelines, which had years of data to back it, is the better choice.

Anyway here is a study addressing the topic and some relevant quotes showing the short-term nature of disposable masks:

"...demonstrates a noticeable humid air filtering degradation during the first 60 min of use."

"...the practice of wearing an FFR disposable face mask for excessive time is not only uncomfortable but can affect the health of the wearer."

"From a morphological point of view, our results show that using a disposable face mask for several hours, without proper disposal or cleansing, may lead to collecting, growing, and cumulating inorganic as well as organic matter. "

"Our reported data confirm the urgent need to inform the general public about the importance of wearing single-use face masks for shorter periods of time with respect to the current common practice"

@dannotdaniel @luckytran

Deterioration? Do you mean the fact that masks are usually intended to be worn for a few hours max?

@trinsec I bet you did... it was a topic the deaf community has brought up a lot, and something many people probably didnt think about.

@barney Whatever nonsense you gotta tell yourself. If you arent smart enough to understand the "logic" and arent mature enough to ask and try to understand, then sadly **you** are the one who is the problem here.

Generally when a successful published COVID scientist says something (easily confirmed with the internet today) then you at least try to understand it first, something you are clearly not mature enough to understand, so instead you resort to name calling.

So im gonna start a website from scratch.. it will need some sort of database,not just static site... Im considering trying a new language and techs.... Im looking for suggestions, convince me!

For some background the site will be similar to https://aprs.fi in nature. There is an already written client that is in ruby that will talk to it through an API.

@dannotdaniel

If your going to be responsible and wear it correctly and throw it away (or disinfect it) after a few hours.. then the deaf issue aside you are probably helping with disease. Im not against that.

My issue here is wearing a mask all day at a job isnt good since it is harmful to deaf customers and the procedures for masks require you to only use one for a few hours max, and since they are probably touching their mask all day long too they probably arent helping much anyway

Basically I have nothing against proper mask use, but be aware of the nuance here with deaf people and the effects of dirty masks.

@luckytran

It amazes me this moron managed to get the exact opposite out of what I said, and now im a pro-republican in hiding... these people have lost their fucking mind.

@barney LOL typical... I am literally a research scientist who spent the last 2 years researching COVID... god your a fucking moron with this shit

I never said masks dont prevent disease transmission, in fact, I made it quite clear that when handled properly they absolutely do.

I see you totally ignored the immense harm to the deaf masks cause, which was the main point... good job at being a talking head and not even addressing the points raised, excellent job indeed.

@luckytran

Considering the huge amount of harm masks has done to the deaf community, who rely on lip reading, and the excessive nature of mask wearing in general, I have to say I support this.

inb4: Obviously masks serve a purpose, particularly in a medical setting. But improper mask use (particularly all day use of the same mask and reuse) has the potential to spread disease as well. So even from the perspective of reducing the spread of germs its not a particularly good choice given the down sides IMO.

@mapto

Thanks, I love this feature myself :)
