The 440 3M Aura masks being sold by Woot for $29 (!) arrived at my house and somewhat to my surprise, they do actually appear to be genuine.
The box is gigantic and I think they’re pretty close to expiration date (probably why they’re offloading them), but at that price they’re worth the dice roll

This what drives me batty when I see yahoos on TV claiming people are using SNAP for their nails or whatever.
YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A ROAST CHICKEN WITH SNAP!
YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A ROAST CHICKEN WITH SNAP!
Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.
