mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Thanks. That's a new timesink. Odd shape here, I hope it's not a data error. My thing had been picking trips on Google Maps, like your original post. Less statistical, but real data points. 100 0

mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Blue countries are the ones where varicella vaccine is standard (not just available). Almost all the Americas, AU/NZ, KR/JP, half of Europe. Plus UK, since this dataset is out of date. Most of the other countries are, shall we say, poor. So yeah, I'm still laughing at you. 100 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Kind of some obvious differences here: From memory, Taiwan was generally between SK and AU/NZ/CN. Very low and better than any other non-lockdown country, but not quite hitting zero transmission. JP was usually worst of the 'good' countries. 100 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 03/03/2026My "safe to eat out" threshold was 20/cases per million. 2021 close up. Some countries stayed under 20 for much of the year, and all under 200. Singapore was very low but then breached 200 on Sep 23, and then wrecks the Y-axis entirely with a high of 652 so isn't shown. 100 0

mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Do you know that covid wastewater levels have generally been higher after 2022 than before it? Where on this graph would you say the pandemic ended? 100 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 19/02/2026May 2021 looked like a great time for it. Vaccines were new and fresh, just about everyone was hopeful they'd solved the pandemic. Covid levels were at record lows. _Then_ antibody waning and delta happened. And then omicron. 000 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 15/02/2026A lot of people say "store-cooked rotisserie chicken is cheaper than raw." Philadelphia Giant store, on Instacart: $11.69/42 oz = $4.45/lb cooked, vs. $2.19/lb raw, $5.75 for 42 oz raw. Estimated energy cost of oven use maybe 20 cents, vs. $5 difference in chicken prices. 221 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 13/01/2026SARS2 vaccine efficacy, USA data. From texanalysis.com Reminder that Jan 2022 is when most of the world (outside of China [strong zero-covid policies] and always-maskers), vaccinated or not, got Omicron. Deaths spiked but not nearly as much as they could have. 000 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I'm looking at ASTM standard right now. "Sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency at 0.1 micron, %" -- 98 Granted that seems to be for level 2, not 1. 100 0

mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Alas, such declarations are not free of political influence and normalcy bias. I invite you to tell me where, on this graph of US covid wastewater, the pandemic ended. And I'm sure an Australian graph would not be much different, apart from seasonal shift. 110 0

There are two straps that go over your head, and panels that fold out to form a 'boat' shape on your face. Ideally it seals, making it far more protective than baggy blue face masks that were never intended to protect the user. 110 0
mindstalk.bsky.social @mindstalk.bsky.social · 17/05/2025So I know you went off full-color because choosing palettes was too much work. Have you thought about partial color like the manga "The guy she was interested in wasn't a guy at all" or "A Story About How She Grew Conscious of Her Childhood Friend"? 100 0
