ndnfjttkrk··on Researchers propose that humidity from masks may lessen severity of Covid-19
One unexpected discovery for me was that wearing a tight FFP3 mask is quite pleasant during cold winter weather.

It's very effective at warming up the air, probably because it mixes it with the one in the dead space.

To me red wine tastes very differently from white wine.

Am I fooling myself? Are they really indistinguishable?

Is it possible that the experts were afraid of using white attributes for a red wine, like in social consensus experiments?

Did anybody ran a test in the dark, where you cant see the wine at all?

Randomize the coloring?

Or make it part of a bigger study, for example "we want to test if wine tasters are also good beer tasters"
