#92"Military grade" listed as a pro on one of them... uhhh well true military grade means it was produced by the lowest bidder to just barely meet specifications in the test environment.

#94The Verge has truly become one of the most respected sites on the web. Some of the best reporting, tech or otherwise, is being done there. Kudos
Now that's a hilarious comment. The Verge has become a joke website.

#95An amazon affiliate link wrapped in the mantle of edgy resistance. Ignoring that, why would anybody take this site serious for gasmask recommendations? Shallow and fast-food level information.
Sorry, it aligns with my politics so I rate it as one of the best
If you let ideology trump facts, why are you surprised when the "other side" does the same? Those who believe in facts watch both in horror from the sidelines.

The author in particular strikes me as a thoughtful, considerate and unbiased individual, a paragon of inclusivity: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45052534

#97> 3M does not provide product information on which filters are best for government repression Just get the one that everyone else does: NIOSH TC-84A-0510 with protection against "Solid Particles, Organic Vapors, Acid Gases, Ammonia, Formaldehyde, Methylamine". Every lab buys this filter, or its manufacturer equivalent, for dealing with god-knows-what, because this one will handle just about anything.
You need to provide a 3M part number. I had to clean up silicone oil and was looking up which solvent works best while being safe as possible and it turns out to be Ethyl Acetate. It works well but is quite potent. A few whiffs had me dizzy to the point where I almost lost balance so I immediately stopped and ordered PPE. I bought a 3M 6900 full face mask and 3M 60928 NIOSH filters for organics and acids. I could not smell anything, breathing was very smooth and natural, and no fogging. When I was finished I walk about 20 feet from the project, took the mask off and immediately was smacked in the face with the solvent fumes.

#98The infighting is so tedious. We really need to peacefully explore the "national divorce" idea again. In the 1860s the concept was too intermingled with the evil of slavery to be considered separately.
But realistically, instead of both sides hating each other to the point of perpetual violence, why not just have 2 or 3 countries in which we can all be happy? Trade and travel agreements are easy to establish by treaty. It doesn't have to be this way.

I wouldn't call it "reporting". More like opinion pieces with some facts here and there, but also a ton of flat out lies and half truths.

Because this time, the Mason-Dixon line runs through our back yards and down our neighborhood streets.
The time to split the country was when the Confederacy seceded. We should have just let them go, but that would have meant ignoring a human-rights atrocity, and in any case it would have resulted in a shared border with a belligerent enemy nation and ultimately with a failed state. It's definitely too late now.
