If it's like other masks I've seen there is a flap or rubber gasket in there that acts as a one way valve. The US military uses M-50s and that's how they work too

It's normally closed. When you breathe in the air is drawn through the mask filter. When you breathe out the pressure pushes the flap open. When your exhale stops there isn't enough pressure to keep it open and the flap seals up again.

Yup we should normalize gardening and canning. It's a thing my grandparents knew. Their families survived times of world wars, dust bowls and the great depression. They probably didn't have much choice in the moment but even when times got better they kept up a wonderful little garden. Kid me didn't get why they didn't just buy the things they needed.

I love the conveniences of modern farming and I use it every day. But like all big industialized systems they can be fragile. Covid was a huge problem for a lot of indistries and thankfully farming wasn't really one of them. But if it was countless people would have struggled.

I'm not really a prepper or anything crazy but I don't want to forget the lessons learned just a few decades ago- gardening is great and worth the effort.

You can have both and it doesn't need to compete with industrial farming or meet some business model. It just needs to meet your needs and/or goals.

Gardening lets you grow the stuff you want how you want and eat it fresh without taking days and trucks on a highway to get it to you.

I'm thankful for the conveniences of modern agriculture but if gardening didn't have any positive impact why did they push victory gardens so much in WW2?

It feels good, teaches valuable skills, makes your neighborhood more resiliant and gives you healthy things you want to eat. It's more than simply therapeutic.

CIA/Pentagon/White House workers have lives. When something big goes down like ....oh I don't know....Iran getting spicy and launching hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel overnight, those lives get disrupted.

People work overtime and order takeout or aren't able to go out on the town like they normally would so that makes changes to the usual data patterns in the DC area. So they say ramp ups in US military activity can be predicted by detecting those changes.

There was a NoStupidQuestions post about properly locking bikes to avoid theft and it got me thinking. I'm in a rural area so I never leave it anywhere. Any advice or rookie mistakes to avoid if I do plan to ride around a city?

In a totally unexpected turn of events his plane tragically had a catastrophic failure. Nobody could have seen this coming. Heartbreaking.

After his almost thunder run to Moscow that turned out to be just a prank bro (and sorry about the russian military aircraft we shot down on the way!) he and Putin agreed to live and let live as friends do. Putin invited him and those rowdy but well meaning PMC friends of his to enjoy a nice peaceful retirement in Belarus. Putin is a man of his word so there's no way that has anything to do with this.
