Yeah! ‘Dis one! Do it, you know you want to!!

I started doing this with SETI@Home. And have continued to run these sorts of programs on my computers ever since. SETI@Home used BOINC, which is still used by other projects. I also use World Community Grid. Highly recommend!!

Similarly, I’ve heard, “nothing more permanent than a 3/4 solution”, i.e. it works well enough that fixing other things always ends up taking priority.

Favorite!

It’s not a joke, AND it’s The Best Joke! Yay for The Onion!!

Point of use filtration.

You’d both be on the same side of the world. Who would keep an eye on things while you sleep?

Great question! I do not now, nor do I ever expect to have any interest in owning a Tesla. However if you want to give me one, I’d be willing to give it a try.

Turn onto your back with your feet towards the door/ window, grab the steering wheel and the doorward edge of the seat, and kick out the window with both feet. This can also be done from a passenger seat as well.

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.

Of course it’s no surprise, and it is a tacit admission of another fact, they are all cowards.

AG James, you don’t need my approval, and I hope you continue doing your excellent work.

All the more reason for investigation. I’m going to make a rare prediction: this will be a grift filled criminal administration.

Wonderful! And so cool to know those plates still exist, and new prints can be made.

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.
