@singingsox I made same mistake first time. They are really hard to click in. Learned I have to look closely to make sure it is actually fully seated.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@___frye We could Google a set of directions and print them out, and before that we could get a TripTik from AAA. The you just had to pay attention so you didn’t miss a turn somewhere

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@singingsox Still my favorite by far. And I have had more lucira tests fail than the metrix tests. (The ones that also have the flu test, the original ones that were covid only seemed solid)

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@singingsox I have had a few of their tests not work and have gotten two false positives over the last year or so but I will say that when I have contacted the company they have been instantly ready to replace the tests. Even sent us a new reader after the second false positive just in case.

@1goodtern Also note some kn95s will pass a fit test with me if I use a behind the head strap to tighten it to my face. If I just use the ear loops the kn95s fail every time.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@1goodtern I’ve also never had it. Any time I have been knowingly exposed I confirmed that I didn’t catch it with pcr or molecular testing. It’s hard but not impossible to do. (Use fit tested n95 and kn95s in all public and work spaces) (note to the gods: this is not a challenge)

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@AshleyGWinter I also do this. Found it was much faster. (Gas stove here)

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@danitasteinberg Wouldn’t that be nice… would be ecstatic if I am wrong about this, but I doubt it.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@drclairetaylor We use pour overs and French press for coffee so no drip machine. Overall though great as long as the power doesn’t go out.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@drclairetaylor We use an electric kettle. Though it wasn’t until we stayed an an air b&h a few years ago that had one that we switched from our stove top. It’s much faster than our stove top but only up to a point. As long as I am trying to boil less than a liter.

@acweyand Out of curiosity, what level would you consider to be significantly iron deficient?

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@ChrisAlvino Many kids would choose to live at school during school plays to cut out transportation time. (It was a school that had boarding as an option)

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@ChrisAlvino This sounds familiar. My school started at 8am went to 3pm. 3-4pm was clubs, then 4-6pm was mandatory after school sports. When We worked on the school plays that would come next and we wouldn’t get home till 10-11pm. Had to do homework somewhere in there, it was bananas.

@TogetherWeMask @BaileyDevine20 @MsJulieSLam @DrJudyStone @michael_hoerger @TheWHN @CovidActionGSO @Pan_End_It Also a benefit to training with a respirator is it makes wearing said respirator for extended periods for work super easy. Work can often be 12-16 hours for me and wearing a respirator for the entire duration is really not difficult.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@TogetherWeMask @BaileyDevine20 @MsJulieSLam @DrJudyStone @michael_hoerger @TheWHN @CovidActionGSO @Pan_End_It I wear a respirator anytime when I run outside. I can’t fumble it on and off when near people while at a full run so I just leave it on. Does not affect my ability to complete distance runs. It takes a bit to get use to a respirator during cardio but absolutely possible.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@TillyBridges @baddestmamajama Haha I also had to read it many, many times before I got it.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@sun_in_winter12 Do they work? I don’t know. I haven’t had Covid yet but I also religiously wear a respirator that I have been fit tested for in any public setting so I can’t say for sure that they help.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@sun_in_winter12 I have used both covixyl (xylitol) and cofixRX (providone iodine). The covixyl burns for a few seconds (this is a known thing that they warn you about if you read about the spray) it goes away quickly but is not pleasant. I have had no noticeable effects with cofix.

[Sean Carroll @Sean_A_Tiger]

@goodpapajamma @chantz_y It is a powered test device that can run very accurate tests for Covid (and other things like flu, strep, etc.) It’s on par with a PCR test but can be done without a lab at home in 35 minutes. We have/use a different brand that works similarly but the tests are cheaper with this
