| VintageGin 07/07/20 8:06:01 PM #95 | UltimaterializerX posted... Notice how he ignores my post, because it shreds his BS. This doesn't contradict anything I said. In fact, it reinforces it. From your own source: The biggest threat we think with the coronavirus is actually the larger droplets. Droplets of saliva, snot, spit. Droplets that almost look like rain, if you will, when someone sneezes. Those droplets are large enough that gravity still acts on them. Usually, within about six feet of leaving somebodys body, those larger, more infectious droplets will drop to the ground. Thats where the six-foot rule comes from. The point of cloth masks is to reduce the velocity of droplets (specifically larger droplets) so that exposure is minimized and people don't receive a significant viral load as commonly as they otherwise would. And no, 6 feet is not a magic barrier, nor is a cloth mask. The point is to mitigate the risk, even though they don't eliminate it entirely. It's not possible for the entire populace to wear N95 masks. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 07/07/20 6:31:44 PM #65 | UltimaterializerX posted... It's always cute when red tries lecturing people who literally and physically do this for a living. You are so laughably wrong, yet laughably smug, and it's why people like Seph and I just dismiss you as a joke. You have quite the attitude problem for someone who is legitimately factually incorrect on such a regular occurrence. The point of a cloth mask is to reduce the velocity of droplets that the virus travels on. Of course it's not as effective as an N95. But the general public also isn't supposed to be hanging out with coronavirus patients or live samples of the virus. Cloth masks work for the general public assuming social distancing because the exposure time is lower and there's thus less chance of a significant viral load. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 07/06/20 9:22:15 PM #1 | A few hours in and I'm loving it. It does such a good job of making the solar system feel mysterious and worth exploring, while condensing them down in a way that makes sense. I also just love that I can see that the little bits of knowledge I've been getting are clearly adding up to something, but it's still not clear to me what that something is. It feels like I'm chipping away at a mystery rather than immediately being able to guess what's going on. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 07/05/20 3:32:41 PM #34 | UltimaterializerX posted... Nah. I stopped caring about politics ages ago, because its divide and conquer nonsense by people who fully get along once the cameras are off. I just follow the truth wherever it leads. Well I think you followed the wrong "truth" here considering he didn't do that. Napa didn't have to shut back down because they weren't on the list of 19 counties that were tracking poorly. There's a fuckton of wineries in Napa. You really need to stop being so literally obsessed with California dude. You're not even anywhere near here. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 07/04/20 12:07:32 AM #6 | Nelson_Mandela posted... Is it good enough to drink neat or rocks though? Hoping to find a nice middle ground. It's decent on its own, but I feel like you're better off getting a bottle for mixing and a bottle for drinking on its own. But that's generally my stance with most liquors. Although it's worth noting that there's a lot of bullshit in mezcal now because it's trendy, so I'd be careful with which "nice" bottle you pick up. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | How I spent my summer purgatory |
| VintageGin 07/03/20 11:45:52 PM #3 | Nelson_Mandela posted... Also I have been drinking mezcal more often and would love for recommendations for a go-to bottle for my bar. Something good enough to drink on its own but not too good where it would be sacrilege to mix it into a cocktail. We typically just use Vida for mixing. It's not expensive, and you can find it everywhere. El Silencio is fine too. Most of the nicer mezcals are not really worth mixing with and are better enjoyed on their own. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 06/21/20 10:04:53 PM #498 | Corrik7 posted... For immunity purposes, it is good to know. There are also people who went from feeling fine to dying in a short time span. That would also be good to know in case you have a sudden swing in health. I feel like if I wasn't sure if I had COVID19, I definitely wouldn't want to wait in line for 5 hours with people who think they might have it. So I kinda understand from that perspective. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Generally speaking, how expensive are your tastes? |
| VintageGin 06/20/20 12:05:37 AM #2 | More expensive than I'd like where food and drink are concerned. I really like good cocktails and food, and so I'm willing to spend quite a bit on those. Also with random items that I know I'll use a lot, I tend to look around for the best iteration of that item, which tends to be pricier. Clothes and other stuff that's more decorative I'll typically spend less on (though willing to spend more if there's a functional reason, eg hiking gear) --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

But I haven't lived in any place with ceiling fan since moving out so it's been pretty useless knowledge. Also kinda want to see the reactions of people who activate the switch and suddenly have huge build-ups of dust fall off the fan. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 06/18/20 12:38:55 PM #19 | My company declined to renew their lease with the current office so I'm not going back any time soon. It's been a little annoying working entirely from home (I was already doing it for part of the week) because I've had to train two new hires on my team and that would be easier in person. I also hate being on so many video meetings. But my commute was super long so I don't miss that part. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 06/12/20 11:26:28 AM #6 | The word "gypsy" is considered a slur. Apparently same for "stone-throwing devils" but it seems pretty obscure given I can't find any evidence of this. This was a pretty kneejerk response by WotC and honestly kinda lame. There were people complaining about the fact that Wizards barely ever hires black artists and has had 0 black designers in its entire history as a company, so Wizards' response was basically "here we banned these card for you guys" --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

Runner up to fried chicken sandwich, but those are much easier to find. Stuff like BLT, grilled cheese are so easy to make on your own that it's a waste unless you eat a lot of them. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 06/06/20 12:03:23 AM #309 | Kinglicious posted... Yeah things have to open up. There's this pic floating around as an example of how dumb the rules are being with protests. Oh hey, this is my county. Anecdotally, people here are generally following the guidelines, and there hasn't been any gaming of the system yet. The 100 person protest thing is weird, but I get the sense that it was put in there primarily to avoid conflict in a way. Contra Costa was also slower to enact curfews compared to nearby counties, and I get the sense that they've been actively trying to avoid pissing people off and escalating the situation. Also it's worth noting that the 12 person gathering is supposed to be a closed group sort of thing, where you can hang out with up to 12 people as long as it's always exclusively the same 12 people. But it seems like they've done a poor job of explaining that bit. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 06/02/20 7:08:07 PM #20 | Of the final three levels (7C, 8C, 9), I think 7C was my favorite. 8C was by far my least favorite-- the way the new mechanic was implemented on the final screen was lame. The only downside to 7C was the music, which was like endless buildup. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

It's definitely not the best in terms of public health, and I am very concerned about what will happen with regard to the virus one to two weeks from now However, one argument for having this sort of action now is that states are starting to open up anyway, and this is probably the last chance before people are forced to return to work-- unlike other protests, there's actually a huge number of people who are not forced to choose between continuing to be employed or protesting Is it worth it? Hell if I know. The whole thing is a supremely shitty situation --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
