@nosat Thanks for conceding the point about light.
Air pressure goes down as you move away from the surface, but it is never zero. So no need to worry about a zero/non-zero boundary because there isn't one, just a smooth pressure gradient.

@nosat You can call it whatever you like, but this simply does not explain the huge difference in light levels between day and night. If you are not sure, do the maths!

The bulb does illuminate the whole wall, it is just brighter closer to the bulb than further away.

There is a huge difference between a woman being legally obliged to wear religious headgear even if she is not a follower of that religion, and a woman choosing to join an organisation with a particular dress code.

Kit YatesThe people who said “counting covid deaths within 28 days of a positive test would overcount” are the same people who will happily attribute anything bad that happens to someone after they’ve had a vaccine to the vaccine, how ever long ago they had it.
@kityates We also need to move away from the idea that only The Arts requires creativity and imagination.

They both ask for access to "Everything" which makes me nervous. But perhaps I am misreading this?

Since you're an old hand, do you know anything about the iPhone/iPad Mastodon App? It appears to ask for access to everything on the device which seems over the top.

Ventilation is given some attention, but to me the emphasis is still on droplet and touch transmission, even suggesting that cloth and surgical masks are effective.
But I really only mentioned it as an example of the kind of institutional inertia that is endemic in politics and religion.

This claim confuses individual behaviour with the behaviour of organisations. For example most scientists accepted that Covid-19 is airborne in the first few months of the pandemic, but the WHO were very slow to change the official view and still place masking above ventilation in their advice.
