AIUI, the air is filtered during flight; it could be filtered during boarding, but usually isn't (they'd have to turn it on); and then there's the airport and the bus, train or taxi to get there

As others have noted, in a closely packed space, filtering also reduces the risk only so much

So yeah, wear a mask, as much as you can

There are also timezone effects; some people (presumably) mostly post when it's 3am where I am, so I hardly ever see them in my feed

Back in 2020, the army was not on Trump's side; the May 2020 memo from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was pretty clear

Maybe there's going to be some cuts?

The existence of gender envy implies the existence of gender pride, gender greed, gender wrath, gender lust, gender gluttony and gender sloth

@goatsarah
In 2020 the military pointedly wasn't on Trump's side, so at least there's that...

Fun fact: you can't have a Teams channel named CON

(or PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, LPT1, ...)

@AlexanderKingsbury @alxd
Are you seriously suggesting there's a shortage of shovels or labour in the area

@AlexanderKingsbury @alxd
Yeah, unless you're skilled (and ideally trained), you're going to be the opposite of help

In any humanitarian disaster area, there are already going to be too many people who can inexpertly swing a shovel and need to be housed and fed

If you're moved to help, sign up for training so you're ready to help with the next disaster

Might be good to add that when a dialog appears on the phone to allow using USB for file transfers, that they should select that option (and not "share photos" or something)

Except where the clean-up can be externalised and/or deferred to next quarter?

Unix time is effectively defined as 86400× the number of days (plus seconds since midnight), but not every day is 86400s long

In addition, the question is ambiguous as to whether it's asking for the number of UTC seconds or SI seconds

@ryanc @Cal
Neither is UTC, especially before 1972

@Cal @ryanc
Trick question, there is no 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC

Make the tiniest mistake, though, and the compiler will throw away the whole thing

no error, no warning, if you try to use it, it'll just use a different one for you
