We expect the expiration date to be extended before the end of January and another expiration extension again early in spring. However, with medical products under EUA, such as On/Go, the FDA, after close studies, grants rolling expiration extensions.

The difference is bigger than you might assume. Delete the Twitter app or bury it in an obscure folder. If you’re having a rough day on social media, try taking a break. The best you can do is stop feeding the flames and stop paying attention. Information is addictive, especially when you know that people are talking about you and you’re not seeing it. If you have an online persona and a smartphone, there is no break unless you exercise a degree of self-control that almost nobody can. Kids can get harassed in school all day, go home, and continue to get harassed by the same people online all night. Today, everyone’s on social networks and nobody ever gets a break. No matter how bad you had it in school, socially, you could go home every afternoon and have a break from it for the rest of the day.
When we were kids, almost nobody was on the internet. We’re always in public, constantly checking an anonymous comment box, trying to explain ourselves to everyone, and trying to win unwinnable arguments with strangers who don’t matter in our lives at all. A few months ago, Howard Stern pulled back from Twitter for this reason, after being flamed ruthlessly whenever he said anything, and raised a great question on his show: Why do we give people such access to us? Why do we read what every random asshole says two seconds after we post anything? Much of the stress I felt during this is from the amount of access to me that I grant to the public. It was remarkably effective at helping me restore my mind to a peaceful state, and I highly recommend trying it. (If you catch me relapsing on this, please tell me.)Īs a sidenote, the barrage of negativity, guilt, and self-doubt over this in the last few days affected me strongly, and I took some time away from Twitter. No amount of possible humor or defense is worth fanning the flames that much and causing so much additional negativity, so I won’t be doing that anymore. I’ve been doing that mostly as a coping mechanism to mask negativity with humor, but it’s also vengeful, and only amplifies and extends the negativity further as my followers inevitably fight back and spread the storm further.
It’s probably the biggest flaw in my writing and personality, and while I’ve been trying to write (and think) with more qualifiers, fewer absolutes, and more consideration and inclusion of other viewpoints, I still have a long way to go.įurthermore, my common move of retweeting outrageous comments to me on Twitter has more severe side effects than I usually consider. I often speak and write with arrogance, absolutes, and generalizations that I don’t intend, and often don’t even realize I’ve done unless someone points it out. It seems ridiculous that reviewing a bunch of headphones would bring this degree of controversy, but that wasn’t really the cause. In short, we both admitted to shortcomings and poor decisions, we both accepted each other’s grievances, and we’re both going to improve and communicate better. I had a long, pleasant phone conversation today with Jacqui Cheng, The Wirecutter’s editor-in-chief. To the actual humans on both ends, it was a terrible, regrettable mess that ruined us for days, and I’m extremely sorry that it happened.
