Fair. I guess we keep it where it is.

Thanks EFF!! Once again!

We coulda nipped this in the bud if we had joined together and formed AmerAustralia, a unified country. I tried to promote it. We’d each have each other’s backs when the other was sleeping. But noooo. And now Zed is dead. smh. I’m so sad for all that could have been.

Yes, there are devices that allow one to exchange air, while scavenging heat, so there is very little loss. Couple that with decent air filtration HEPA, etc, and you can maintain your indoor air quality.

I’ve been listening to TWIV on this topic. Of particular concern tho’ not mentioned directly in this article was the transmission adult to child of mpox clade IIa, presumed from casual contact.

I found this especially useful:

QUICK GUIDE TO THE STRAINS OF MONKEYPOX VIRUS Clade Ia: a strain that has been spreading in Central Africa since the virus was first discovered to infect humans in 1970. Most infections have been in children, and it was known to mainly transmit from animal to human — until recently. Clade Ib: the strain that has caused a surge of cases in Central Africa since its discovery in late 2023. Known to spread from person to person, including through sexual contact. Clade IIa: the least-studied mpox strain. It has mainly spread in Guinea, Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire. Modes of transmission are not fully understood; there is no documented evidence of sexual transmission, but it is likely that all forms of close contact contribute to its spread. Clade IIb: the strain responsible for the still-simmering 2022 global outbreak. Known to spread from person to person, including through sexual contact. Most affected population has been men who have sex with men.

Smae!

Weird old guy looks tired; needs a shady vacation.

Yay, and a happy All Souls to Ye, each and everyone!

Stay positive this Yesvember!

JBL Charge 4, great sound, big battery, form factor is just about perfect. Charge 5 is too big. My bike crew rides at night, and many of us have Bluetooth speakers, all playing different music at the same time. We’ve started referring to it as The Cacophony.

He looks so sad. Yet, was happy and smiling when brandishing that machete. I’m sure he’ll something to smile about in jail.

I used an iPod touch for calling over WiFi for years. It worked just fine, as long as one had a WiFi connection. Do it!

A bit strange, AND endearingly wholesome.

It’s noise pollution, in an environment where dolphins, other cetaceans and probably other creatures depend on sound for long distances communication. This research will, I hope, lead to a change how naval sonar and communication happens.

tl;dr : the word translated to young woman, and that was later changed by translators to virgin.

This was from April ‘22. Why don’t we have these pants by now?

If both sides are the same, can we at least veer a little bit away from fascism? Hint: both sides are not the same. Your vote for democracy does matter.

Early research done during a previous epidemic demonstrated definitively how airborne transmission occurs, and how masking and to a lesser degree ventilation of indoor spaces could prevent transmission. This research was misinterpreted until SARS-CoV-2, when the research was reexamined. Masks, and other forms of air filtration work to prevent transmission of airborne pathogens. The number of people sickened and killed by COVID-19 was increased by the policies of the trump administration, and by the politicization of masking, a scientifically proven means to prevent transmission of airborne diseases. The trump administration has ‘blood on its hands’ for this action. And trump, and the others involved should be tried for these treasonous crimes. Please vote to make sure that their coup in progress doesn’t destroy democracy in the US and elsewhere.

You’re living that research paper that showed COVID-19 ages the brain 7 years. Srsly.
