The single best thing you can do to ensure you're protecting yourself is to do a home fit test. Surgical masks, KN95s, N95s have generally the same kind of filtration layer; the essential difference is the fit. Is it sealing on your face with <10% leakage, even when worn for long periods and while you speak and make facial expressions? You can't really know this for sure unless you do a fit test.

It is pretty cheap and easy to do a DIY fit test.

Here's a video that explains how to do it with a trash bag, some Splenda, and a $7 nebulizer.

Here is a written guide.

There was a window of time where it was super easy to jailbreak iPhones - and there were tons of cool customization options, plus you could easily pirate apps and get in-app purchases for free.

This was me my whole life until I got the one disease where pushing yourself literally causes muscle necrosis

Green side is also my internal monologue whenever I pirate something

Seconded, it's really good. I felt pretty down after this NPR piece (I have long covid myself) and the Gauntlet article was like a breath of fresh air. It is a relief to see reality so plainly stated.

Yeah, it seems truly awful. Hopefully his real birthday gift is getting to see that thousands of strangers think he deserves so much better than this.

This is mine. I'd have all the kids learn both spoken toki pona and the corresponding sign language. It'd rapidly diverge from the canonical version in real world use, and it's more entertaining than strictly practical, but I just think it'd be neat. And it really wouldn't take much time investment to do.
