“The droplets that the virus hitchhikes on to get from one host to another are way too small to be stopped by granny getting creative with her bathroom curtains.”
Both kind of masks work. Homemade does not work as well, but it protects others far more than yourself. What you want is everyone to protect everyone else. When you do that, you are protected too. One should not just think about one’s own protection, but the protection of the community.

And you covered Taleb’s The Masks Masquerade in the June 15 Debt Rattle.
Could be ribbons of some sort, string?!
It looks like a bridal for a dolphin. The one cherub seems to be riding the dolphin. Notice the lines are straight from the hands to the dolphin, as if taut.

At the center of the painting, Venus stands nude on a scallop shell[1] being pulled by a dolphin, one of her symbols. Fifteen putti, including Cupid and his lover Psyche, and several nymphs and centaurs have gathered to witness Venus’ arrival. Most of the figures are gazing at her, and two of the centaurs are blowing into conch and Triton shells, signaling her arrival.
Sounds like you need a break Raúl. As you well know, this is a very long marathon. Since TAE started, who thought the center would hold for so long. Take whatever breaks you need.
Regarding the debt rattle picture of the day: Same woman at same job.
Survival in Eyam depended on if you were bit by a flea that had plague. The bubonic plague is not transmitted person to person, but via flea.
Google earth will provide a number of clues, Germany aligned itself with Russia and the East some time ago – observe rail lines between these nations.
I do not think East Germany had any say in the matter. Also, see the Eastern Bloc.
Black holes still exist in all important ways, and there is still a huge one in the center of our galaxy. Physics it just trying to work out the details of the even horizon.
Yes, Virginia, Black Holes Exist! Do black holes exist? The world’s most famous scientist vs. the actual science.
If it quacks like a black holeA great article. Some comments:
- Some tablets are made intentionally to be very difficult to repair, with the hope you will buy a new tablet when the battery inevitably fails on it. Batteries fail both with age and use. Lots of glue makes repairing difficult. Notice that the Apple iPad Air only receives a 2 out of 10 repairability score in the iPad Air Teardown Guide. Perhaps in the next iPad model they will go all the way and solder the battery in too. Remember, repairing your own device or even changing your own battery hurts corporate profits. Some tablets are much easier to repair, so keep that in mind as a factor for purchasing consideration. Try to keep tablets, phones, and laptops plugged in and charged as often as possible to make the battery last as long as possible. The less you drain the battery, the longer it will last.
- PC desktops are more repairable than laptops. Desktops usually have standard sized components that can be replaced. There are usually a large variety of replacement parts available. Laptops have customized parts for each model. Parts are customized for that particular model, and are expensive and harder to find. Macs have always been more difficult to repair in my opinion. Desktop PCs, perhaps running FOSS, will be the easiest and cheapest to keep running in the future.
- Windows requires a lot of end user education to remain secure. The vast majority of users do not have this knowledge, which leads to most computers having acquired malware of one form or another. At the market leader, Windows, or software that runs on Windows, has most of the malware developer attention. This means there is much less malware for Macs and FOSS as there is much less of a user base to potentially infect.
- The Automatic Earth, like most web sites, runs on FOSS software (WordPress and Nginx).
