Appreciation post for the AC guys currently working in my parents' house

We've had a bunch of workers coming over recently, and my parents have been asking them to wear masks as I have long COVID. The HVAC repair workers just arrived today wearing KN95s that they brought themselves without being asked. I've had one doctor out of dozens that wore a respirator. One.

Lumbrokinase brands: Is it really necessary to buy Boluoke?

Boluoke claims that other Lumbrokinase products “are likely just earthworm protein extract containing little pure lumbrokinase or lumbrokinase of low enzymatic strength”. Of course, Boluoke is also extremely expensive at almost $4/serving (Nutricost is about 20 cents per serving by comparison). Are there any other lumbrokinase products with third-party test results showing that they actually contain lumbrokinase?

Of course, Boluoke is also extremely expensive at almost $4/serving—that's comparable to the price of oxaloacetate! (Nutricost is about 20 cents per serving by comparison.) Are there any other lumbrokinase products with third-party test results showing that they actually contain lumbrokinase?

If you don't give Instagram access to your precise location and your contacts, the app constantly shows full-screen pop-ups asking you to do so so they can "show you personalized content".

I have approximate but not precise location enabled. I still get this popup at random times while I'm using the app.

Mask with ear loop attachment points that are very far apart from each other

Surgical masks have ear loop attachment points that are very far apart due to their pleated design. Does anyone know of a respirator that has ear loop attachment points that are similarly far apart? My first instinct is that a rigid cup design would be the best for this, but I can't really find anything that looks like the ear loops are stapled on further apart than normal.

Edit: It doesn't have to be a cup design. It just has to be something with ear loops that are vertically far apart.
