The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an appeal to folks to not wash or reuse condoms.  Use a fresh one for each #sex act."

In addition to preventing pregnancies, halt the spread of most sexually transmitted diseases (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.)

"Incorrect use,  reuse or using more than one at a time, diminishes the protective effect by leading to breakage, slippage, or leakage." 

Soap and water won't kill all of the microorganisms on or inside and can also make the latex more prone to tear.

"You should use the condom in the way the manufacturer has intended and tested,"

"You don't learn anything from success, but you learn a lot from your failures," Shotwell says in an interview with the storytelling platform Makers that was posted online.

Qanon...

QAnon refers to a conspiracy theory centered on Q, an online handle used on several image boards by a presumably American^[1] pseudonymous individual or group of individuals^[2][3][4] claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States, and detailing a supposed secret counter-coup against the alleged "deep state".

The conspiracy theory, mainly popularized by supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump under the names The Storm and The Great Awakening, has been widely characterized as a "baseless",^[5][6][7] "unhinged",^[8][9] and "deranged conspiracy cult".^[10] 

Believers in “QAnon,”  were front and center at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall, where Trump came to stump for Republican candidates. As the president spoke, a sign rose from the audience. “We are Q,”  

Flipped...

Famous billionaire hedge-fund managers are brilliant people with smart hard-working employees, well-thought-out strategies and a track record that is unlikely to be attributable to chance.

 One thinks that their performance was random, flipped a coin 10 times and got 7 heads.  “Our success is due to our independent contrarian streak and our discipline in buying assets.”

Then they flipped the coin got only 3 heads  “We have had a run of bad luck due to the Fed’s distortion of markets, but we expect to bounce back stronger than ever.”

David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital is down about 19 percent for the year, and his investor letter is a wondrous thing:

“Right now the market is telling us we are wrong, wrong, wrong about nearly everything,” Einhorn wrote in a letter dated July 31. “And yet, looking forward from today we think this portfolio makes a lot of sense.”  

Populist...

The populist uprisings in the U.S. and Europe have aroused fears for the future of liberal democracy. The concerns aren’t misplaced, but the threat is well understood. One mistake is to assume that all forms of populism are alike, and dangerous in the same way. 

Populism sustains President Donald Trump in the U.S. and Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Hungary; it drove Britain’s vote to quit the European Union, and put the Five Star Movement and Matteo Salvini’s far-right League in charge of Italy. 

These movements are populist by definition. They stand for ordinary people against a failed establishment  not just a failed government, but a discredited ruling class. All populists are fed up with politics-as-usual, expert orthodoxy, received opinion and elite purveyors of all of the above. 

Thanks to globalization and open borders which hurt the many citizens they were supposed to help.
