oxidisingon UK schools receive 300k CO2 monitors in gov initiative to reduce COVID19 spread

Luckily we don't have gunmen running through schools in the UK.

oxidisingon Mitochondria may hold keys to anxiety and mental health

This is incorrect. Most ATP found in our cells is in the form of MgATP and magnesium is crucial for the regulation of ATP production [1]. ATP levels are tightly controlled within cells and although mitochondria may play a role in psychological disorders [this article][2] simply saying that less ATP means less anxiety is wrong.

oxidisingon Running your own secure communication service with Matrix and Jitsi

oxidisingon UK phone masts attacked amid 5G-coronavirus conspiracy theory

I really don't think these conspiracy theory led comments belong on HN at all, condoning uninformed/misled people destroying equipment is ridiculous.

oxidisingon Can't see any reviews on Android Google Maps (when a Chinese sim card is in)

I have a China Unicom in my phone currently (as a second SIM, but I might now take it out) and haven't had any problems with Google Maps. When I was in China in June I was using Google Maps via VPN. This doesn't mean much of course as things can move pretty quickly. I also didn't realise a SIM card's capabilities.
