This is actually not true, hence only partially funny. The masks protect others, not oneself. So wearing no mask is like speeding on the highway. People risk other people's lives. Not a new phenomenon.gmax137 said:I saw a new one (well, it is new to me):
Remember the seat-belt campaign, "Click it or Ticket?"
for CoVid
"Mask it or Casket"
We had a choice of channel 4 (NBC), 7 (ABC), or 9 (CBS). Oh, and on UHF26 we could see Julia Child, "the French Chef" but adjusting the round antenna to get the picture meant only static for the sound, and vice versa.phinds said:

Yes, but your breakfast doesn't red shift or blue shift (unless of course your are eating on the run )etotheipi said:Most of the time I can’t even remember if I’ve had breakfast yet, let alone the directions of motion of cars I’ve passed on the road
I know a car enthusiast who has a Lamborghini LM002. Apparently, if you drive carefully, you can get 10 mpg out of it.DaveC426913 said:My buddies and I saw a White Lamborghini drive past us once.
I dunno. I could sometimes come close to red shifting (or blue shifting, from my perspective) my food when I was in my teens and growing.phinds said:Yes, but your breakfast doesn't red shift or blue shift (unless of course your are eating on the run )
I guess that's better than 10 gallons / mileIbix said:Apparently, if you drive carefully, you can get 10 mpg out of it.
7.2 Leopard 2, Abram twice as much.mfb said:Not even tanks need that much fuel. They need something of the order of 1 liter per kilometer. Whatever that might be in weird inverted units.
