We need a bigger boat

In the vacuum

DENT: 
We are reusing N95 masks for a week at a time. 

He is what I have devised:  it turns out you don't need high temps to inactivate the coronavirus. 70C (158 F) for 30 minutes will do it. Or, lower temps like 65 C for 1 hour. I rigged my sous vide machine inside a cooler to get those temps. 👍. We can have multiple people put the masks in ziplock bags and run them. I am still working out the details because 70C was damaging the plastic parts of the mask, but I think we are almost there!

The croutons will be impressive

b1-67er (agricultural machine designer): Just sent <the CA> governor's office an email.

b1-66er: Good citizen.
What'd you say?

67: I said tens of thousands of people are moving to Salinas  in mid April from Yuma, and Yuma has lower restrictions. I suggested it was good material for a governor to governor talk.  Specifically suggested Newsome try to get higher restrictions on lettuce producing counties for the next couple weeks.

66: Good citizen.
Impressive. 

67: Sprinkled in a little about protecting the food supply from coronavirus.

66: ... as seasoning...
