Here’s some more on potatoes. Apparently you can wash them in your dishwasher.
Mmmmm the taste of emulsifiers. Don’t you want your potatoes infused with dish detergent?

Apparently you can wash them in your dishwasher.
This reminds me of seeing recipes for cooking foil-wrapped salmon in your dishwasher (with no soap, of course 
)

You can tell the COVID-19 threat is waning. This coronavirus thread has morphed into the Food Channel!
A lot worse outcomes exist, let me tell you!

Well glitch, my mother cleaned potatoes with soap & water. She was my cooking teacher, “what’s good enough for mom is my motto”, it’s never let me down.
Fact is, my mother never heard of a “potato brush”. 
Covid related mental illness strikes progressives
Yes, turning to Dr. Mypillow instead of the CDC for guidance is clearly a mental illness. No wonder hospitalizations are not going down in many states, despite formerly rising vaccination numbers.
Name one instance where anyone actually did that.
Cdc says masks and restrictions still needed until more vaccination and lower community transmission rates.
There is still too much community transmission, the levels are still high. Thanks to covidiots only at this point.
“I keep coming back to the same thing with the pandemic,” Alex Goldstein, a progressive PR consultant who was a senior adviser to Representative Ayanna Pressley’s 2018 campaign, told me. “Either you believe that you have a responsibility to take action to protect a person you don’t know or you believe you have no responsibility to anybody who isn’t in your immediate family.”
Or you believe that people you dont know have the responsibility to take action to accomodate your own decisions. The only way someone choosing to “do stuff” is a risk to you is if you have also decided to “do stuff”. If you end up regretting your decision, there’s no one to blame but yourself for making it - but instead, there’s this perverse insistance that everyone either indulge you or be dismissed as a second class citizen.

You didnt answer the question.
False. Community transmission rates increase the risk for everyone. Along with increasing the number of variants and odds of worse variants.

How can you possibly claim that is false?!?! Community transmission rates are only a risk to those who chose to be out in the community. If you are afraid, no one is forcing you to stop isolating until you are no longer afraid.
Yes if the covidiots are afraid of being seen in public following reasonable health measures, no one was forcing them to stop cowering in fear in the corner in their houses. Instead they have cowered in fear in public by coughing on people, invading private businesses, and assaulting police officers.

On-going community transmission is a risk to everyone as the longer it goes on, the more mutations develop.

The reminds me of a story I once heard. Not sure where I heard it, but that’s irrelevant. If anyone has heard it too and remember where it comes from, feel free to chime in.
One time a wife was making a meatloaf and her husband was in the kitchen and he saw her do something odd. Before serving the meatloaf, she cut a slice off the end, put that slice on top, and then put it in the casserole serving dish. The husband asked her why she did that and she answered, “My mom always did it that way.” He said, “but why, what’s the point?” The wife realized that her husband might be on to something, so after dinner she called her mother. The daughter explained the situation and asked her mother why she always cut a slice of meatloaf off and put it on top before serving. The mother’s answer, you guessed it, “That’s the way my mother always did it.” At the next big family gathering grandma attended, the mother and daughter remembered the meatloaf conundrum and asked the grandmother about it. She took a little while to think and then she remembered. The grandma said, “Back when you were little, my casserole serving dish was about an inch shorter than the baking pan I used, so in order to fit the meatloaf in the dish, I would always slice an inch off. I haven’t done that in years, ever since you got me that new serving dish set.” Even though the mother and daughter never used a smaller serving dish than their meatloaf baking pan, they continued to follow the same (obsolete) step the grandmother followed because of her limited stock of serving dishes. They assumed there was a reason to that step (there was), but since they never knew the reason, they never realized they didn’t need to follow it. Needless to say, neither the mother or daughter felt the need to cut an inch off their meatloaf before serving it anymore.
Now I don’t claim to know anything about potatoes. But regardless, it can’t hurt to question the usefulness of “that’s the way we’ve always done it,” from time to time. Just a thought.

Good lord. 
I’m pretty certain you just endorsed bullying as a tactic to force people to do what you want them to.
??? How is acknowledging the paralyzing fear and horror the cowards have of a piece of cloth endorsing bullying?
A psychiatrist might help them get over the fears instead, I didn’t say cowering in their lifted F150 with the confederate flag was their only option.
I may have misread that, to reach that conclusion. But it’s understandable, since what you wrote makes no sense. The people you are trying to berate are not the ones cowering in fear at home.
What you mean to say is “I’m obviously right so I dont understand how anyone could think differently than me. So I’ll just dismiss them as being scared idiots instead of respecting their differing opinions.”

Sure, if you endorse a person’s right to force their way into your home and breathe into your mouth for an hour. But I’m pretty sure no one has suggested this.
The only “risk” this is about is the risk that people are going to go out and do things that you want to do, you miss out because you insist it’s too dangerous, and there turns out to be no adverse consequences.
