Been to Beijing 3 times for work. Hated it. And I like to travel and experience different places.
OT: Haze from the fires

Are you in NW Jersey? I think it’s worse there. Not as bad in NB and NP as it was before.
So the conclusion is a certain alignment of government always gives one a bad result. But they might not be the same.China:
Lost Angeles:
Oh no! We're all gonna die - unless we smoke, it which case purposefully injecting smoke into our lungs is just fine.
Oh nooooooo! Now we'll have to get angry about something that's been going on for 60 years. Ya know just to be consistent
I don’t know screw. I smoke a cigar i feel fine. I walk outside today and my eyes tear and my lungs and throat are irritated. To each his own I guess.
Or worried about liability litigation if you get a sore throat.
You body has acclimated to the cigars over the years. You body isnt familiar with ashy, particulate matter originating from Canada.
From a respected MD and Professor at UCSF:
That said, the experts can pontificate all they want about generalities and how things will affect people generally. All that matters for each person is n=1, where n=yourself. Nothing else matters. See this type of thing with diet and exercise experts pontificating what to do to lose weight. In the end, what works for you is the best intervention.
You get used to it.
Occupational hazard.
Occupational hazard.
If they were worried about liability they would have sent home the young lady tending bar with a window to the outside and door constantly open - no mask for her, no doors and windows being sealed.
Hey keep you private life to yourself sweetie. And can you be a drag queen if you're trussed up in leather? (I've seen your pics back when you posted a link to them, remember?)
Oh and back then you kept your drag shows to the ghettos you lived in, not elementary schools, groomer.
NY gives out free crack pipes but also thinks they need to protect folks from a forest fire's smoke from Canada? How about telling the crack folks to use a N95 mask between them and the pipe? Nooooo that would be racist or something.
Seems like you're obsessed over pictures of me but I don't want to know if you touch yourself. That's gross. Now go waddle over to the donut stand, fat boy.
I’m guessing your baseline on this is a little different than most folks.You get used to it.
Occupational hazard.
Not sure what the paid guys do who see action weekly, if not daily, but see lots of firefighters who don't wear their air packs during overhaul, when the fire is mostly out but still smoldering.I’m guessing your baseline on this is a little different than most folks.
Ya know, nobody has said you have to do anything. There's an ongoing conversation as to whether there's any benefit from N95s in the presence of heavy smoke. Some people achieve a personal comfort level in believing that there is.
This doesn't affect you in any way, nor should it, IMO, inspire anyone to mock the entire conversation.
This is a classic example of the classic flowchart, i.e. "Does it affect me?" --> "No" --> WGAF
That said, I'm hearing from many people, very good very smart people, that these Canadian wildfires were caused by China and Hunter Biden is behind the entire thing.
Tomorrow night’s Cousin Brucie show at the PNC Arts Center has already been postponed
It does affect others. First of all, its taxpayer-funded waste. As a conservationist, it's offensive to see the government taking resources, wasting them, and the result is N95s in the gutters and along the sidewalks everywhere, ultimately filling up the landfills needlessly.
On a societal level, we are pack creatures. We follow the herd. If the herd is misled, it is prone to irrational bad behavior. Everyone in the group is subjected to the results of that. There are many, and if you didn't learn that lesson over the last 3 years, you never will.
Who said anything about government? Nowhere did I suggest that the government should be doling out masks for smoke conditions.
The quoted tweet that you replied to does.
Was right with you and what I said agrees with what you said until until the last two lines. n=1. Do what's best for yourself from your own personal situation, perceived impact on your health and well-being, and your comfort level. There was no mockery in my post.
As far Dr. Prasad, he has strong opinions. I did not see what he said as mocking any particular person. He was questioning the necessity of mass mask distribution.
Yup. I did not know he was still alive. All kidding aside, elderly people and those with respiratory issues may be better off not being outside for extended periods of time.
Like the CDC? Looks like it is going from bad to worse with the new nominee, who seems like a bigger authoritarian dolt not grounded in science than the previous ones.
I guess the Canadians don’t rake their forests like they do in Finland.
