I've noticed that Hasan has not covered South Asia very often. Do you have an opinion on https://www.twitch.tv/ArunAnnow? I get a lot of my South Asia news from him

The reasonable ones have mostly migrated to r/h3snark, which has left the reactionaries in r/h3h3productions.

r/h3h3productions wasn't this bad even 3 days ago

That chart compares the number of 2024 early voters to the total number of voters in past years, not early voters in past years. That article includes another chart which shows a comparison with 2020 early voting:

Early vote totals since 2012

So Dems are definitely in a worse place than 2020, but maybe they're not doing worse than in 2016

Guy on an electric bike asked if I would stop funding the genocide in Gaza so he would vote for me and I told him I'm not really "into stopping funding genocides right now" and he said "that's cool" and let me rant about means-tested healthcare but when it was over he said "that's what you're missing" and scooted off into the distance

Last week when Torres tweeted about Hasan, posting a Destiny orbiter-created clip, which is cut short to make it seem like Hasan denied the possibility of October 7 sexual violence, Hasan mused over whether he should sue Torres. Presumably Hasan is going through with it and not speaking about it publicly

Edit: Ethan's subreddit overwhemingly sides with Hasan over this letter

Is WiFi calling a decent alternative to VoIP?

I've placed calls using WiFi calling where the person said they could barely understand the words I was saying due to sound distortion. When I called back over VoIP, they said it was crystal-clear.

covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov is shutting down (covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by sovietknuckles@hexbear.net to c/covid@hexbear.net

The final update of the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines was on February 29, 2024. PDFs of the Guidelines can be downloaded until August 16, 2024, when the website will be shut down.

Not that the site was very good. Their Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infection page mentions masks once on the whole page and does not mention nasal sprays:

The risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission can be reduced by covering coughs and sneezes, wearing a well-fitted mask around others, and isolating when experiencing symptoms. Frequent handwashing also effectively reduces the risk of infection.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent COVID-19.

Older versions of their PDF mention N95s. The only mention of N95s, other than recommending them for healthcare workers, is to claim that surgical masks are just as good:

There is evidence from studies of viral diseases, including SARS, that both surgical masks and N95 respirators reduce the risk of transmission.6 Moreover, surgical masks are probably not inferior to N95 respirators for preventing the transmission of respiratory viral infections; a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared the protective effects of medical masks and N95 respirators demonstrated that the use of medical masks did not increase the incidence of laboratory- confirmed viral respiratory infections (including coronavirus infections) or clinical respiratory illness.

(That is incorrect.) The latest version does not mention the existence of N95s or KN95s, it just says "a well-fitted mask". And N95s and KN95s are not mentioned on the site itself, outside of these PDFs.
