“Avoid feigning surprise.” When someone says something like “I’ve never heard that you can do x,” instead of replying “You’ve never heard that?!” take a moment to revel in the fact the person is about to learn something new and cool. Let that frame your response.
Avoid “well, actually...” if someone says something not quite correct.
Avoid subtle -isms like “so easy my grandmother could do it.” That’s a subtle exclusion of women and older people.
Edit: these are based on the Recurse Center’s social rules.

I know that @KCPubHealth is not recommending school closures at this time. I trust that they have made a thoughtful, reasoned decision. But, for those who are experts on the subject: how *does* one make an informed decision here?

Why is the process of purchasing sheet music online so uniformly awful? The “big” retailers look like they were built in the late 90s and appear to intentionally obfuscate, even in their FAQs, what exactly you get when you buy. (Hint: it may well not be a PDF.)

Is the probability of bad epidemics like the probability of bad storms? Can we talk about 10-year epidemics (SARS, MERS), 100-year-epidemics (Spanish Influenza, COVID-19) and 1000-year epidemics (bubonic plague)?
I wonder if that would help with planning?

Wow okay, using Wayland on my laptop is kinda weird (my touchpad reacts differently, DPI settings aren't as respected) but I don't _know_ if it's faster.
