These people and their “it’s a personal choice” like that’s some impenetrable barrier to further discussion/reasoning. Like some unreducible fraction. You only trot that one out when it’s something unarticulable like a personal taste (I just can’t explain why I love applejacks) or when you’re just being disingenuous. Too many years of consumer conditioning telling people any choice they make is valid (we support you at brand x) mixed with the misunderstanding of (mythical, really) democratic equalization and they’re thinking their personal behaviors are as valid and unassailable as medical advice.

Funny you should say that. A number of them hail from the border region between what is now Rhineland & North Rhine-Westphalia. They moved around a bit, but very much that region.

My homies! (Just FTR, people in the region usually didn’t move around much. What timescale? )
Hey, @FGD135, alluding to Beikircher on BB BBS surely is a first. Kudos.

I wonder if you can polymerize hydroxychloroquine and spin it into a fiber to make a mask with.

Late 1600’s through early 1800’s, if I recall correctly. There are a couple different towns kicking around in the family history which led me to believe they moved around, but upon reflection it’s more likely that that those were marriages. Sturdy folk, but mostly coal miners so not particularly long-lived.
