I’m working on a detailed comparison for the docs. Thanks for the feedback!

OP used the term specifically to refer to PR-generated articles in prestige media like the NYT, which was probably a direct allusion to Graham’s essay.

Do we have enough information to do this kind estimate for serious or critical symptoms, rather than just deaths? What are the chances of somebody in a given age bracket needing breathing support?

I have a short full beard but seem to be able to form a seal. If I follow the directions for checking the seal — blocking the intake and breathing in, checking for the mask to collapse in, then blocking the outlet and checking for it to balloon out — it works. So do I have a seal or not?

If you want to live, lose the beard. If you are just wearing the mask for no real reason, who cares?

In case of a coronavirus outbreak I am definitely losing the beard if for some reason I have to leave the house. But I also use a respirator for semi-routine tasks like woodworking to minimize dust exposure.

Or they don’t believe the compounds are dangerous, or they don’t think they’re dangerous enough to outweigh the reduced risk of fires.

Can’t speak for OP, but noise canceling headphones are good for low-frequency noise, while passive hearing protection is better for high-frequency. For that reason I use headphones while bicycling — it blocks the loud engine noise and lets me better hear localizable sounds like tire swish.

That’s an average of about six miles a day. Would you enjoy doing some of your travel by bicycle?

Most of the emperical studies I've seen suggest people who travel little by car generally do less trips vs. many shorter trips; i.e. they're not driving 6 miles a day, they're driving 20 miles twice a week.

Is this the same thing as the stem cell treatments offered by various clinics today?

Can confirm, have moved king-sized mattresses, large dressers and cabinets, etc via a trailer on an ordinary bicycle. It’s really easy!

Where I’m from there’s a tradition in the bike community called a “bike move”. When you’re moving, you invite everybody to show up on a certain day with their trailers and cargo bikes. Everybody packs and moves you in a distributed manner! All you have to do is provide coffee and donuts in the morning and pizza and beer for after. Fun, community-building way to move.

That sounds awesome. Are you in Oregon?

Edit: Ah, I see your username now =)

How? I can't feasibly imagine balancing my UK queen in a bicycle.

If you strap the mattress to the box spring to stiffen the mattress you can set it on its edge and it won't sag. Then just set the box spring and the mattress on a flat bed bike trailer and you are good to go.

They make trailers like this for big and heavy stuff: https://www.bikesatwork.com/bike-trailers

Okay, I would consider transporting a mattress on a bike (with a trailer) easy, not just a bike!

Never heard of this game. It has a totally different visual style from anything else on the platform. Very impressive.
