We do. And it prevents about 80% of cases for people who get the vaccine. Having mosquito control, a vaccine, and a treatment would be better than having only the first two. But it takes money to do a phase 3 trial of a drug, and its hard to get private funding for studies like that when a disease mostly impacts poor people

Realistically you need to get them banned.

Get flock banned at a local level.

Get to protests on a bicycle or a bus. Carpool if you must.

Somehow read that as a snail onion

They’re using it to fill out regulatory paperwork instead of making sure they satisfy the requirement that you establish actual knowledge about the plant to be built to show that it is safe

From xkcd

Better ad targeting does make ads more valuable…but because only Google and Facebook have the visibility and ML to do it effectively, they wound up with all the ad revenue. Everybody else ended up with a few pennies

I’m a bit sympathetic to them — they do need to get paid to keep operating, and ads don’t cover the cost of providing news anymore

They dont let sites opt-out, and they do a much more seamless job of enabling people to archive paywalled content

I’m aware.

They’re designed to look visually different from that

If there’s an edit that alters a detail that doesn’t matter to the witness, it probably isn’t important. And that kind of replacement is hard to do at scale without getting caught.

What you end up stuck doing is deciding to trust particular sources. This makes it a lot harder to establish a shared reality

The kind you write birthday letters for

I think the costume is available for $30 or so online

Sabotage comes in many forms. Looks like one person with a frog costume has tied up the local gestapo for an evening

ICE sprayed a chemical weapon directly into the frog costume air intake. Frog came back the next day

Let’s say it halved. That’s visible light, which at low wattage, is harmless.

If it quadrupled, its still infrared. Also harmless at those wattages

Remember here: youre dealing with something that is less harmful than visible light. So whatever fear you have must be much worse when it comes to things like daylight, indoor lighting, headlights, etc

Here’s the thing: wavelengths shorter than visible light cause cancer. Wavelengths longer…don’t. They’re using the long wavelengths.
