“Literally zero downsides” is a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? Surely you’ll concede that they make your glasses fog up.


Haha fair but they do have masks with a little bit of foam on the nosepiece for this purpose.


I can't believe I got through (hopefully) most of the covid pandemic fogging up my glasses without knowing this simple solution exists.


There's also defogger you can apply that kind of works (I got it at a hockey store, marketted for the clear face masks some people wear instead of metal cages). An adjusted mask probably works better, but the defogger is better than without in situations where I know my glasses will fog up and I have to have a mask.


I used automotive defog on my glasses.

Then someone showed me the foam...


And prevent me from unlocking my iPhone!


I knew when Apple released the iOS update that lets my Apple Watch unlock my phone when wearing a mask, that it would mean I would very soon not have to use it anymore. Some corollary of Murphy's Law.

Not that I'm complaining!


Really hoping they bring back the fingerprint sensor now. I feel like a monster when I have to lower my mask to unlock my password manager.


If your glasses fog up from wearing a mask, your mask is ineffective.

Get a better mask that actually seals around your face.


Like what kind of mask? In heavy industry or manufacturing environments, I can assure you that nearly all are wearing N95s or surgical masks, and they all cause real issues with safety glasses fogging. It's been a huge problem, alleviated some with the Uvex wipes.


I find the Honeywell consumer mask comfortable for daily low risk wear.

If I’m going to be in an enclosed space with lots of anti maskers for a longer period of time I use a 3M elastomer mask with replaceable p100 filters. It’s less comfortable though.

Also to be exceptionally clear, if you are wearing an N95 mask and it is fogging your glasses, it is NOT sealing properly. That condensation is coming from air that’s escaping out the top.

KN94 masks with ear loops are rather less effective as they can’t pull tight enough on the face to seal.


You’re referring to Leviathan, the newest expansion for Europa Universalis. The developer plea for less toxicity in the forums was from a Hearts Of Iron developer.

Their newest DLC wasn’t exactly met with glowing reviews either, but it wasn’t apocalyptically game-breaking, so even if abuse was warranted for the quality of Leviathan (and it’s not), that still wouldn’t explain why the HoI forums should be a cesspit.


I don’t drive, which is terribly inconvenient, but I believe it would be ethically wrong for me to do so.

I theoretically know how to drive, but I’m very bad at it for lack of experience, which makes me a hazard to myself and others if I do drive. I could be a better driver if I had more experience, but I can only obtain that experience by driving, in which case I’d be endangering the lives of myself and others. So I’m stuck.

It’s a vicious cycle.


It's not a vicious cycle, everyone on the planet who drives started with a lack of experience. Heck, you would have a lack of experience in riding a bike on the road for the first time.

Everyone on the road has a different level of attentiveness and experience on the road, regardless of their years of driving. We know that as a society people make mistakes but we hope that the majority don't, which is why we have insurance. You need to start by driving predictable easy routes, then slowly branch out if it has been some time since you have been driving.

However, if you feel that you would put other people in danger when driving, then I applaud your self awareness in taking other steps which are probably better for your own health and the planet :) I do think we can do better when it comes to frequent recurring travel such as driving to work as opposed to weekend travelling or holiday travelling.


I don't think you're permanently stuck. There are courses specifically for learning how to drive more safely, that presumably let you practice things in such a way you are unlikely to injure anyone.


I think the fact that you put this much care and consideration into your driving puts you well above most drivers. It's no different than learning how to ride a bike really; go slow, maybe get one of those "student driver" stickers, and you'll be fine.


It's a call for simulators.


Yes, things were so much less partisan in the good old days, when fascists and leftists would start armed revolutions and civil wars.


Do you not understand that people had, thirty years ago, moved beyond that, but now, these companies and tech are re-driving us all back to epic divides that will cause the same...?


I agree. It was just a matter of time. Social media merely accelerated the process.


Isn’t Miami going to be underwater in a few decades?


You have to bring all of those same things to a Nomad deployment as well. It’s generally more lightweight than Kubernetes, so it might be easier to wire those other components in, but you do still need to do that work either way.


> it might be easier to wire those other components in

IMO the few lines of yaml to set the path/host for an Ingress definition seems cleaner to me than using consul-template to spit out some LB config (as in the post's example).

For simplicity, a few years ago I preferred Traefik + Swarm. Add a label or two and you're done. But Swarm died :/


Discovering a new hominid species gets you on the cover of National Geographic. Discovering a new specimen in a previously-identified hominid species does not. So, in general, the field of biological anthropology has leaned towards identifying new species when possible.


Svante Paabo, who led the group that sequenced the Neanderthal genome and discovered we interbred with them, had to decide whether to give a species- or local name to the Denisovans. The argument that carried the day was that “species” is such an ill-defined biological concept that it’s a sterile intellectual exercise arguing over it; and if they’d gone with, say, Homo altaiensis rather than Denisovans, it would’ve been extremely hard to take it back (“Neanderthal Man,” 2014, Ch. 23).

Considering Paabo secured funding from the German government for a brand-new research institute in ancient human DNA and related subjects, including the right to decide what city to build the institute in and hiring authority over the initial staff, and given that he had an advance agreement with Science to publish the Neanderthal genome, I think some of these discoverers aren’t that exercised by whether they make it onto the cover of National Geographic.

Offshoring cheap labor already happened everywhere possible. Domestic "low-skill" labor today is overwhelmingly in restaurants, hotels, and retail. I assure you that Taco Bell is not making bean burritos on-site because it's the cheapest place to do so.


There’s 112 waking hours per week, if you sleep eight hours, so more than half that is 56 hours a week. Are you working seven days a week or something?


A fallacy can not identify when something is not the truth. A fallacious statement is not a necessary result of the argument that led to it, but it can still be completely true.

There’s even a fallacy about it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy
