Everyone wears a mask when at a store, unless they have a medical condition that prevents that. Outdoors, it varies - if people are talking close together or are in a crowded outdoor area, they probably are, otherwise some people don't, especially when they are alone and certainly more than 6 feet separated. Some people do wear masks, even if they are taking a walk in the woods with their SO. I see people wearing masks while driving alone in their car.

Me personally, absolutely not. However, I am not an anti-vaxxer and respect those who do get the vaccine and can certainly understand the reasons. Enough said on that matter.

Generally people in Toronto wear masks. We don't want to (except when it's -stupid degrees outside, in which case they are great!) but we do and there's no griping or complaining. You wear yours, I'll wear mine, and if I have it and keep my distance (which everyone also seems good at) then maybe I've lowered your risk of getting it, and vice versa.
It's pretty much a non-issue here, except for the occasional person who feels the need to make a point or who doesn't want to be "told" what to do. Canada's actually funny like that: no one's "told" to things, but everyone is expected to do the right thing. And generally Canadians do.

I love the treading very close to political line on this question. NOT!
Anyway since you asked. Iowa/Midwest. We pretty much do a fairly decent job of wearing a mask. Depending upon where you go. Get a ways away from a city and nope not so good. The more people around the more likely you will find the percentage of people wearing a mask to be higher.
I would say 100% in my small town at the grocery store are wearing a mask. But we aren't far from Des Moines sooo.....
AS for the shot. PErsonally I have a needle phobia. (stupid I know, But I do pass out frequently from getting needles stuck in me) So I would rather not. Not because it doesn't work, not because I don't believe in vaccinations(I do believe in them). Mostly just because I hate falling down and going boom.
That being said I will probably get the shot and just warn the person. oh well. Life.

As long as I'm not part of the first million or so, I'm glad to take it. The first millions, and the delays getting it to them, leave adequate time for a serious problem to show itself. A live study, more or less, to avoid dead people Any efficiency in giving immunity is worth it, so long as they are honest about it, and if it's not highly likely, then a way to test for it.
So, indeed, the long-term followup wasn't done. In my case, my wife won't let me make any more babies with her (or anyone else) - so that worry is gone. More importantly, getting sick and then well, again - the long-term damage done to a significant number of survivors makes it further worth the risk. I even got a Flu Shot for perhaps the first time, or at least in memory.
It's the usual game of life: minimizing one's losses by balancing them with risks

In a similar thread I said: "it is like software, I prefer to wait until SP1"
Until I am in the "next" group, it is going to be a (probably) big while, as I am a mid-aged healthy white man without any "system-relevant" profession. I suppose I will get the possibility in the 4th or 5th wave at soonest. Which already brings a couple of million shots worldwide before I get mine.

I started a couple years ago and I haven't had it, but it is always that paradox that you don't know if you would have had it if not vaccinated. My wife was vaccinated too and got it twice since I started. That's why I don't complain and continue doing it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I've been struggling to debug my JSON pull parser ever since I traded away line and column counting for a significant performance opportunity. I regret nothing. NOTHING!
And yet, all I get now for my location in the document is a cryptic offset of characters from the beginning of the stream/file/connection/whatever. Basically, a position property.
So i've been trying to track the progress of my reader while it's doing automated extractions. The reader's path through the document can get really complicated and hard to follow. That's fine, when it works, but it's still got a few problems.
So how the heck do I debug this without my line and column counting?
Woo!
vscode-position - Visual Studio Marketplace[^]
It shows me the document's current position next to the line and column info in VS code.
I owe this person an alcoholic beverage of their choosing. 
Also, bless VS code for being extensible with friggin typescript!

Greetings While testing some of the C++ std::filesystem functions on a PC with a small simple console program the executable froze and the video monitor began beeping whenever I clicked on or moved the wireless mouse. I of course have no idea as to the real cause of this strange mouse/video monitor phenomena. Running the code again after a necessary reboot as the response was also very sluggish did not duplicate the mouse\video monitor phenomena. Any ideas? Thank You Cheerios

Impossible to guess. It could be something in your code, which means using the debugger. It could be some arbitrary program using the resources of the PC. It could be a hardware problem. Bottom line is that you need to gather much more information.

No no no! He needs to run his entire system through codewitches json parser running on an Arduino Beowolf cluster
Or nuke the site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure!

How reliable is that PC's power supply?
Just sayin'
If you get unreproducable problems like this, if they're not very frequent it might be a failing power supply, as that has happened to me more than once.
Other than that - if it fails again
bad ram?
bad cpu?
run a burn in tool like Prime95 on the machine to see if you can't reproduce the problem

Which is amazing, considering I've never posted a video, and have no plans to do so ...

Congratulations
I managed to break through the 100 mark the other day on my astro channel. I didn't think I would get anywhere near that this year, let alone next year considering I only started it at the end of September.
I don't know what happened a couple if days ago, but had a massive spike in watch time and views after a steady increase the last week.
