Most masks are actually only useful for preventing others from getting infected. And they actually deteriorate quickly. The recommendation in this part of the world is that only people with flu symptoms use those.
I'm sure the white house has better authorities on the issue than Ja Rule and Greta.

Normalizing wearing masks amongst the population helps the overall situation, additionally actual respirators definitely help reduce the risk of getting infected (to an extent).
Just because they logically should have advice on the matter doesn't mean they do or they actually listen to them though, no? All the instances of where politicians across the world didn't follow the guidelines of distancing and preventive measures themselves, especially in the beginning.
EDIT: I suppose you meant respirators when you said not most masks, nvm
Looks like 4800h and 2060 is about 1300 if you can find one in Europe. 4600h and 1650ti is 999 and everything else is in between there
some vendors are even adding more ryzen 3000 models so they probably have a ton of old stock and it will take some time to get to reasonable prices
there's still no 4600 + 2060 which would be the most sensible gaming combo esp for resolutions above 1080 also no models with 5600m yet, that seems to fall somewhere between 1660 and 1660ti
the low power 4700u parts look like they could handle dota pretty well with just the APU at a reasonable price but idk I'm probably waiting until fall

I stopped lurking US Pol half a year ago... Don't care to read discussion
I mean, yeah. The actual thread goes between being boring for a wide variety of reasons, but the feedback thread is generally pretty amusing. Featured a triple-ban today, which is impressive for a non-bait thread.
Plus there were some gems from Kwark:

I don’t write “have” when I mean “have” and avoid the possessive apostrophe when trying to make something plural because of some need to prove my intelligence to people, it’s just my default state as a literate adult. The reverse also applies, you’re not writing the way you are because of some lofty disinterest in spelling, you’re doing it because you can’t spell.
All I’m saying here is that if you want to go on a rant about how smart you are you might wish to make it look like the rant wasn’t written by an idiot.
I love it when Obama just comes out with a classy tweet that gets three or four times more likes than the dumbest and loudest new conspiracy or attack angle Trump tweets out.
I'd take the obamagate nonsense any day over the crap that's happening in poland now. For example here's a short summary (taken from a friend of mine's facebook post) of the latest WTF moment from our goverment:
Long story short: - anti-choicer hid on an abortion help forum - contacted the girl seeking abortion, trying to convince her to change her mind, including sending her ripped foetuses' photos - girl declined help - anti-choicer stalked out the boy with whom she was pregnant - parents and boyfriend forced girl to give birth - anti-choicer got a medal from the Ministry of Justice
The anti-choicer (a young woman to top it all off) is also apparently known to advocate bombing abortion clinics. The whole situation is fucked up on so many levels it's almost surreal.
