@stevenroose Actually no. Pre-covid that style of mask was avoided as they're too hard to breathe in. That was well accepted until mask wearing became political.

Heck, surgeons were even wearing no masks at all at many hospitals because there just isn't good evidence they make a difference to infection control in many situations.

It'll be interesting to find out what data Hertz will get from drivers... I'll bet you charge locations will be disclosed at least.

Thank god all the EU countries with green pass schemes are accepting natural immunity via documented prior infections... Canada and the US are not.

China innovated the COVID QR code/surveillance regime to bolster its social credit score system. Green means you are free to move about. Yellow code: might be asked to restrict movements. Red means a mandatory quarantine. Failure to comply will result in imprisonment and worse.

@AmishBTC_ Some troll was insisting on forced vaccinations, so I said if someone tries to vax-rape me, I'll shoot them.

Twitter apparently doesn't like self-defense, so perma-banned me for "violence".

I wondered how far I could keep pushing it and now I know.

Where do I go from here /b/?

@Bitcoinlabrador actually gliders carry hundreds of pounds of water ballast because they fly _better_ with extra weight in a lot of circumstances. So a bit of plastic won't make any difference. Also stowed, the big wiper is in an area where you wouldn't expect much extra drag to happen.

Insects definitely cause drag. Even rivets made a big difference and airplanes go to great lengths to use totally flush rivets.
