I managed to get hold of an unauthorized pre release trailer...

Here is definitive proof that humans and dinosaurs lived on Earth at the same time...

Also, if are worried about source control, you can wear a procedure mask or surgical mask over the exhaust valve of your elastomeric (on some models), but make sure it is loose enough so that is doesn't interfere with the seal of the mask. (If you need complete source control, then you'll need a SCBA respirator, and lots of other protocols.)

@cmclase

The most efficient respirator is an N100 or P100 elastomeric, not N95.

Generally, you should not wear anything over a FFP N95 because it can distort the shape of the mask and allow air to leak in around the mask.

If you are in a setting where you need to protect against splashed liquids as well as from airborne particles, then consider wearing a face shield, or wear a medical N95 that is resistant to body fluid splashes.

If you are trying to protect against current variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, you should wear an N100 or P100, especially if you are in an enclosed space with someone who is symptomatic, because an N95 may not filter out enough of the virus particles to prevent infection.

Here's an explanation of natural immunity that anyone can understand...

If you become infected with the COVID-19 virus and you die, then you will never get infected again.

Possibilities...

1. All of the participants are actors and the entire video is a carefully scripted production, with all of the shadows put in during post-production. (Like a Hollywood movie)

2. There is a laser projector off to the side of the table (to the magician's left) and that laser projector is projecting the shadows onto the table from a prerecorded video, and all the participants are actors who are moving their hands in sync with that prerecorded video.

3. There is a laser projector as stated above, but there is also a camera directly above the table that is looking down at the hands of the participants and processing that image to create a video image realtime for projection onto the table from the laser projector.

(The laser-projected image can be manipulated to create the illusion of the shadow delay.)

Note how high the woman holds her hands throughout the video, never getting too close to the table. This may be so that her hands don't block the laser light from the projector.

That's why we're here on qoto and not on some nazi, anti-freedom, anti-democracy instance, or some instance that only wants crocheting content or something.

@DecaturNature

A wormhole is...

Muting @DecaturNature for continually putting political content behind a CW.

@peterdrake

Here are a couple of short video reviews of the episode (2 min / 7 min each) that sum it up, although neither review fully conveys how absolutely arrogant the alien character is.

You probably want to watch the 7min video first, then the 2min video.

They contain spoilers, of course.

Here are the latest totals in the US. (Source: Johns Hopkins Univ.)

US
Cases: 103,125,921
Deaths: 1,117,503

That's more than 425 deaths per day. Please take care out there and remember to wear your respirator!

(Note: For some reason, JHU is no longer reporting stats out of China, so those numbers are not included here.)

TIL!

Are you a Star Trek fan? Have you seen S2E21, Peak Performance, where they play the game Strategema?

>"I study the science of psychology, if people don't want to hear about that science - I will now add "psychology" to the CW."

Okay. I understand. I just now read the toot. I wouldn't have CW'd it for that reason, but I understand where you are coming from. Maybe a CW that said, "psychological - cognitive dissonance, ego" would have been a good CW for that one. (Do psychologists still use the term ego?)

Thank you for your patience in explaining this to me.

@empiricism

So it was sarcasm? You are saying that people who are distressed by climate change info are being overly sensitive? I still don't get it. Climate change info should not require a CW merely for that reason alone.

And in any case, I don't understand how someone could determine that that was the content based on the wording of that CW.
