@lemm.eeI think they were naming it after the place where you print and make money and not the plant.
Qualcomm and the Rezence wireless charging standard had tech that was able to charge through metal backs since 2015. The issue is it's not compatible with Qi which already cornered the market so no one used it.
Or just do it like the Zephyr way. Shoot the tentacles and redistribute the damage. Though I'm not sure if that would be better or annoying since it may unintentionally block weapons fire if there are a lot of tentacles.
Get a piece of tissue paper and fold it into a thin lengthwise strip. Put it on top of the bridge of your nose and underneath the mask. No more fog.
where it's still ok to wear a mask without ridicule
Serious question, why are people being ridiculed for wearing masks in the US? Is this generally how it goes in all of the US?
I'm from Asia and most countries here have been wearing masks even before the pandemic for multiple reasons - pollution, not wanting to spread sickness including the basic cough and cold not just flu or COVID, when at a clinic or hospital, etc. I wear a mask even when I just have allergic rhinitis just so that I don't accidentally blow snot all over somebody else. No one would bat an eye here if you wore a mask.
I don't understand the negative connotation to wearing masks and why anyone would care if you're wearing one.
