It's fun sometimes to binge watch a bunch of bushcraft videos about people building bomb rear end cabins and dugouts in the woods and eating beans and unknown meats cooked on mud brick ovens. sometimes they have dogs and the dogs are great sometimes I think about just disappearing into the woods and digging a badass hole with my dogs

Burnt_toastist posted:Aspirin is good for thinning your blood if you're at risk of heart attack or stroke but lousy for pain relief and has lots of side effects. Possibly relevant in the COVID thread but my pulmonologist has said I can use ibuprofen but prefers Tylenol because I guess ibuprofen does something to blood oxygen or with low blood oxygen and I rock sub 95% due to a chronic lung condition.

Hello, I mostly just lurk except for some Games threads, but thank you for this thread, because I know that I'm not alone in thinking that everybody else is loving insane for ignoring the still-ongoing pandemic raging (mildly) across the country/world. I have one co-worker who shares my feelings, though she seems less frustrated about it than I am. The few customers we get who still wear masks (like 5-10%, if that, so not many) are mostly wearing decent ones from what I can tell. There are still a few cloth masks, but at least they're trying, I guess? At least none of them seem to be treating it like a magic talisman that lets them get up in my face or anything; it's almost like people who still wear masks are likely to also take other precautions to prevent catching/transmitting an airborne disease. Most of the other stores in the area don't even have employees wearing them anymore, much less customers. Our store recently made employee masking optional (stopped asking customers to do it last year), and about half the staff immediately stopped wearing theirs. I had one guy a couple weeks ago ask when I was going to stop wearing my mask, and I told him "when COVID is significantly over." "Well, isn't it?" "Really? You believe the CDC when they tell you it's over?" "No, I guess not... But I bet you're vaccinated. They say you don't have to wear one now." "I am, but the WHO still says masks are recommended indoors, vaxxed or not. I'm stuck in here for 8 hours a day, man. Yeah, it sucks, but I don't want COVID." He said some poo poo about living in fear and how everyone's gonna get it eventually, and I had other customers to deal with so I just said "I don't want it because I don't like being sick, no matter what it is. I hope you stay healthy, too. Have a good day." I used to really like my job and most of my customers. Everyone in retail deals with rear end in a top hat regulars, but since the pandemic started, they've been a lot louder and more numerous. I lost respect for a lot of customers after 2016 when they would come in with Trump/MAGA poo poo proudly displayed, and a lot of those same people were, unsurprisingly, also vehement anti-maskers (we lost a few of them permanently when we implemented our short-lived customer mask policy, so that's a nice thing that happened during the pandemic). Sorry, this got longer than I intended. I really just wanted to de-lurk to say "thanks for this thread, it's nice to know I'm not alone," but then I had to keep going, I guess. Also, Pillowpants: Thank you for your poop-maps. I'm in one of the few areas that's being tracked (I'm at the northern edge of the big Milwaukee/Chicago/surrounding areas blob), and seeing your map/chart updates have made me very glad I still mask up and also anxious for what the next couple of weeks are gonna look like. I'm not relying on them as a sole source of ), since everyone else seems to just be saying "if we don't report test results, then we won't have more cases."
