To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

[jono]

Hell even the Instacart folks are running around unmasked and not testing.. Betting they're out there working even if they know they have it. They have to. No sick pay for gig workers.

Just how much do you miss Epicski? Let's say, on a scale of Riser3 to SumJongGuy.

Somewhere around jono? I was mostly out after Joan (R.I.P.) sold it..

I haven't heard of Joan, so we're probably not quite on the same level. I take it peak Epic occurred before she sold?

Yep a LOT of people bailed when Vail bought it. I hung around a few of the local meet up threads for ski house share trips but migrated to some skateboard forums for the more social chatter stuff..

Is this an Ogden scale?

No there isn't. It's been transmographied into SkiTalk. Yes, I spend almost as much time there as here.

Is this an Ogden scale?

It's kinda like an Ogden scale in that there are usually around 10ish steps to it and it changes--sometimes the number of steps and sometimes the order.

At Riser3 there's only one forum and at SumJongGuy desperate withdrawals. But the steps between are chunky and inconsistent: sometimes a couple of former posters miss Epic but get by in the middle. You might think they'd be out there close to SumJongGuy in the official order, but no: between them and him are usually a few maggots who knew Epicski only by reputation. Until it was over.

For example, this was the scale a few years ago:

riser3: there is only one forum
BushwackerinPA: do you even dolphin turn?
Ghost of Carl: Hugh's posts there were uninspiring
Delco714: It was ok; needed a Harry Potter subforum
Yetiman: Epicski was Zero Ogdens
Iceman: Now where do I find the real beta on goggle VLT for all light conditions?
Waistdeepgroomers: TGR was easier when there was EpicSki
Fugitive: Tech Talk is pwned by the bootfitters' cabal and should be challenged
Ghostofseasonspast: desperately hoping for a visit from 18/19
SumJongGuy: in my dreams I'm still some kind of bear

Pretty sure it could use an update.

Wow you obsess over other ski forums like Bernie Propane obsessed over Hillary LOL!

Is the Ogden scale related to the bristol stool chart?

This paradox cannot be ethically answered because finding all the similarities would require a copious dose of LSD, and examining the Bristol stool scale on that much acid could have life-changing consequences which would likely end the usefulness of either scale for the test subjects.

It would be like explaining the Epic scale to SumJongGuy: self-defeating.

I occasionally read the bullfighting forum.

Is there a vaccine to help with this? Or do we just have to keep wearing JONG masks?

[LongShortLong]

Visiting the local lake/boathouse to rent a SUP / boat, I always double mask when ordering at the outdoor counter. Been wondering if that's overkill. Yesterday I'm there, and they are short employees due to covid outbreak. In their entire complex, every area is well ventilated - windows open, doors open and half the work is fully outdoors on the beach or docks. There's often a breeze. They have one indoor meeting room, occasionally used for corporate events.

I'll be wearing a mask for awhile yet.

Sure, but they could have all gone to a co-worker’s birthday party at the local Hooters. Who knows the different exposures people have.

Are they all wearing masks there too? I'm hoping that outdoors in the wind, most people vaxxed there isn't enough recently used air mixed in with what we're taking in each breath to do any damage. But, no matter how I feel, if I see a sign requesting it, or most employees at a place wearing a mask I cover up too just out of consideration even if I don't feel the threat.

Indoors if I end up in some kind of line, or face to face with other humans for more than a minute or two the mask goes back on.. all about what I perceive to be the prevalence of recently used air for risk assessment. Regardless of that, if the folks who are stuck working wherever I go are wearing masks, so will I if I interact with them.

That's me though. All I expect of anyone else is just to follow the local sinage and ordinances.

No need to double mask if you have a decent fitting N95, KN95, or KF94 (Korean version of N95). Or do you have a big beard? I'm not wearing a mask outdoors but depending on the situation it's certainly not zero risk. Certainly no reason to feel like you're doing too much. Now about that monkey pox . . .
