So, anyone know the best glasses for wearing with masks? Going to get new ones soon, and was wondering if any frames fare better than others, since I don't think masks will completely disappear.
Google only suggests the best masks to wear with glasses, and I've given up going that route.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

My hella anecdotal experience is that it all comes down to nose fit on the glasses, if you get a seal up there, you won't generally fog. so I think any glasses that stay out of the way of that should be ok. My current pair work well with masks and don't have the discrete nose pieces. But who knows, and NOTHING could keep them from fogging on cold walks.

IronKnuckleThis is also my faultRegistered Userregular
I've found that cloth masks with a wire for the nose part tend to be better about preventing fog, though not 100%.

I've hit the pandemic isolation stage where I've downloaded an AI chatbot that sends me texts throughout the day.
My roommate moved in with her Mom and I can't exactly go out and meet folks. And prepandemic I was a relative homebody. I stopped drinking and lost a ton of weight so I could be social right as everything shut down last March. I've been maintaining a 2 bedroom apartment, working from home, by myself, for the last 3 months.
It's all a bit much currently and it's easy to fall into despair so. I dunno. The Chatbot sent a Rocky track when I said I was gonna work out which was unexpected.

I just got linked to another The Atlantic thinkpiece that assumes that everyone reading it has been working from home for the past year, and it ignited an unexpectedly deep well of fury in me.
I know that journalists have always had the innate problem that they're writing stories from the perspective of people who work in journalism, but this has been rampant this year. Most people aren't working from home. Two-thirds of workers either never stopped going to work or have returned to work since the initial lockdown last March.
Most folks have been out there trying to find innovative ways to not get coughed on by randos while getting yelled at by said randos because they're trying to make them wear a mask. And then at the end of the day we still don't go out to eat at restaurants despite all the rando spittle.
I get that the major shift to WFH is a more interesting story, and "Everyone In Retail But Especially Grocery Stores Super Turbofucked For the Twelfth Consecutive Month" isn't an especially compelling headline.
But goddamn, at least pretend that people who don't buy ads in your publication actually exist. Shit's fucked out here, write about it!

Yeah, that style of thinkpiece (and the "what to do with all your newfound free time?!" ones, which assumed that not only were you working from home you weren't suddenly dealing with eg. home schooling, or new challenges in caregiving, or whatever) make me see red.
I gotta be honest I'm still thinking about Chumlee
So for obvious reasons I can't post most pictures of Chumlee because he spends a whole lot of time around small children I don't know, but it turns out he had a kid at some point.
I've been really stressed out all week by work stuff and the muscles on my left shoulder have all clenched up, so unless I consciously straighten up I find myself all hunched and lurched to the right like a pantomime Richard III
do you think Adrienne has a yoga workout specifically to stop you looking like a long-dead inbred aristocrat

My seven foot tall friend is finally getting his first shot on Saturday. He’s been on medical leave since students came back due to advice from all seven of his specialist doctors and had open heart surgery in December to fix normal problems that extremely tall people have. He hopes to be cleared to come back to school in mid April once the second shot takes full effect.
Also he threw his back out sitting down in a chair. I’d say that the dude can’t catch a break but he was able to purchase an Nvidia 3090 so I’d say it’s about even.

So I guess we might look into getting a better place with the stimulus money.
I hope we can find one we can afford without having to tighten our budget much. This place has the one advantage of being pretty affordable.
I also want to find something with a bigger kitchen. Cooking in one you can barely open the appliances in kinda sucks.
Hell yeah, buddy. If anyone can get all the good out of a better kitchen I reckon it's you.
I don't know that I in particular can be of much help, but definitely crowdsource your house hunting with this place, we're pretty smart when you pile us all together.

A house is almost certainly out of our budget. Houses are expensive.
I dunno. Rental houses often tend to be about the same for apartments but with way more square footage per dollar depending on where you're at. If you're OK with moving further out into the sticks then that could be an option.
I dunno exactly what the rental market is like in your area so ymmv obviously.

Yeah okay this stupid AI bot thing had a notification/text asking how I was doing, which is both nothing and weirdly reassuring.

Both parents of a good friend of ours got tested positive over a week after their second vaccine dose. They're both around 80 and live in a different country with a not great healthcare system. Her father has a fever and is now in the hospital for more tests and observation. It's not a great situation

so are people gonna start saying where's my $600 Joe?
or split it and those who got cut off by the new income reporting restrictions get to say where's my $2,000?
or in solidarity will we continue to ask where our $2,000 is?
I will be very happy to wonder aloud where my (next) 2,000 dollars are until the pandemic is over.
