I don't understand why they would even ban someone for talking about cocks (the penis kind). I thought Musk was for free speech.

Actually the most effective respirator at a reasonable price is an elastomeric N100 or P100.

95 - >95% efficient at .3u
99 - >99% efficient at .3u
100 - >99.97% efficient at .3u

N = not oil resistant
R = somewhat oil resistant
P = oil resistant

I was writing poetry (trying to write) under the tag MastoPrompt and I had no idea what that meant either. Now that I think about, perhaps the "masto" part is for Mastodon, which makes sense for "MastoArt", but "MastoPrompt" for poetry?

Thank you for the response.

@tonic

sweat_smile is an unusual choice of icon for this, I think.

@peterdrake

What does "MastoArt" mean?

@peterdrake

You re-did this toot! I liked it better when the words were juggled. 😂

*****Puzzle spoiler*****

The Moon's gravity is 1.622 m/s^2, much less than Earth's 9.80665 m/s^2.

If you scatter a lot of smoke in an average-size room, it will hang there for over an hour. But how long would it hang there if there was no air in the room?

I'm going to repost it bacause it may be too confusing...

(your toot will be orphaned, sorry)

@pwinn

I watched Tenet in reverse order.

It was the same.

@trinsec @mc

Yeah, this was a joke, but I just turned it into a puzzle and posted it to the local timeline. (regular Earth gravity, but no air)

Well, she ought to know, right? This is very reassuring, actually.

Now we can let our guard down...

@mc

I've never actually tried it, but it makes sense. 😄

Fun Fact:

If someone smokes a joint in a zero-G environment, all the smoke just hangs there.
