Calling me “stupid” is unnecessary and speaks more about you than me.

I’m not going to dox myself, but I can assure you that I’m better qualified to make a physical distinction between droplets and aerosols than anyone in this comment thread.

If you had bothered to read the coverage by Nature (one of the most widely respected scientific outfits in the world) that I linked, you would have seen this:

> The seemingly uncontroversial statement marked a clear shift for the Switzerland-based WHO, which had tweeted categorically early in the pandemic, “FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne,” casting the negative in capital letters as if to remove any doubt. At that time, the agency maintained that the virus spreads mainly through droplets produced when a person coughs, sneezes or speaks, an assumption based on decades-old infection-control teachings about how respiratory viruses generally pass from one person to another. The guidance recommended distancing of more than one metre — within which these droplets were thought to fall to the ground — along with hand washing and surface disinfection to stop transfer of droplets to the eyes, nose and mouth. > > It took until 20 October 2020 for the agency to acknowledge that aerosols — tiny specks of fluid — can transmit the virus, but the WHO said this was a concern only in specific settings, such as indoor, crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces. Over the next six months, the agency gradually altered its advice to say that aerosols could carry the virus for more than a metre and remain in the air (see ‘Changing views of how COVID spreads’).

Droplets are significantly larger than aerosols even though both are quite small. Droplets ante not considered airborne. Aerosols linger in the air for long periods of time whereas droplets tend to settle within a few seconds. This is important because the transmission mechanisms of viral particles contained within droplets or aerosols are different.

For a detailed scientific discussion of the difference between droplets and aerosols, as well as the impact on pandemic policies, see here: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsfs.2021.0049

I hope you’ll reconsider insulting people in the future.

That's what I'm using for mine.

Or get together with your neighbors and start your own group!

Pretty much all are bastards

The investigation was done by the children

Why defend pedos?

My friend told me that the three most likely professions yo molest a child are 3:Religious leaders 2:Cops 1: Teacher

Bring back public hanging of pedophiles

Carry a large knife, a taser, a pepper ball gun or pepper spray at least until you move

Unfortunately

Blame those heathen homeless

Ok, the points of anyone’s license caught littering.

Please don’t send them to woonsocket

Turn around

No the credits were accrued at .19 and they are being used at .29. It is what it is just circumstances of these crazy past two years.

Any fee would be passed onto the consumer

I often see trash blowing out of the back of trash trucks. If only the companies would be forced to pay for the inadvertent littering.

I was and still am really interested in solar however my payback would be about 10 yrs. Was hoping to retire in 8 and it probably wont be in RI. If the payback was in 5-7 I’d do it for sure.

I've watched plenty of people throw trash right out of their car windows, unfortunately.

Do adjust the net metering rate at all?

I’ll also vouch. Built the bar at (former) big king/pickerel from one of their slabs

The state has the funds (the most we’ve ever had really) to address this issue.

I don’t typically see people throwing trash out windows (I’m sure some soft headed creatures do though) but I have seen frequent windstorms knock down trash barrels and send it flying Everywhere.

It’s F’n ridiculous what we are paying for electricity now. These companies are reaping huge profits and my monthly bill increased by more than double recently. 😡
