Last Notes npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage A veterinary epidemiologist named Andrew Bowman at Ohio State was impatient with the FDA and lack of data on the H5N1 outbreak, so he took a road trip and bought milk in 10 states. 58 of the 150 commercial milk products contained enough traces of viral RNA to light up a PCR test, which suggests the H5N1 outbreak is far more widespread than the US government is letting on. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1p9k…865w Here's the RAVPower one: npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Probably the strangest response I get to my not supporting Biden due to his material support of Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza is that I'm Russian bot? Like really? npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1yqu…t2x5 The US has 600+ rear cargo door aircraft (C-130's and C-17's) and we've never used more than 3 at a time for the Gaza airdrop missions. We've also never made more than one flight in a day, despite the beaches of Gaza being less than 140 miles from the airbase the US is using in Jordan. Often times, like today, the US uses just one plane. The cargo capacity of a C-130 is 21 tons. Today, the C-130 which went out dropped 3 tons of food and it wasn't even supplied by the US. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Someone managed to put up a temporary web still camera at the south end of Grindavik's eastern protective berm. You can see the lava front which is around ~200m away from a major road. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1utv…87lr @npub15nl…25tl An asset is only worth what someone is willing to pay you for them and all of Trump's real estate is significantly tainted by its association with him, especially in that he might direct stochastic terrorism against future holders. Seize one of his properties? Suddenly you've got a mob showing up smashing things and burning it to the ground. There are few that would want that risk and even fewer that would write an insurance policy. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub19fc…ay3c And you repeatedly get statements from various parties in the IDF and government about there being no limit on the aid that can be sent into Gaza and that it is simply their need to ensure that food doesn't get to the "wrong" people. There are no "wrong" people, only people. Food is a human right. This is collective punishment and should be prosecutes along with Israel's many other war crimes. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1k4q…3lsq You get into Robert Galbraith's history and you find a long history of deeply unethical behavior involving implanting electrodes into the brains of patients, some of whom were under legal duress. Gay and arrested for marijuana possession? Lets drill into your skull and implant some electrodes. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Time for another Humanitarian Daily Ration meal. Tonight's entrees are Lentil stew and Peas in tomato sauce. I'm cooking them in a pot of water right in the pouch, as a refugee in Gaza might, allowing for the use of seawater or not drinkable water. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1cv3…0nls @npub1w02…ndth Stuff like air quality monitoring, filtration and good ventilation should be long hanging fruit which shouldn't annoy the "I don't want to a wear a mask" contingent. Same with paid sick leave of a scientifically appropriate period (10+ days) following confirmed infection. Stuff like free repeat workplace testing following confirmed exposure should imo be in there too. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Checking in on the eruption in Iceland. It is still ongoing and lava is approaching the south coastal road, having already overflowed Grindavíkurvegur during the initial hours of the eruption. If the Suðurstrandarvegur (south coast road) is overflowed, then Grindavik may be cut off for a while, as the only other road, Nesvegur, suffered subsidence/quake related damage. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage There are an estimated 300k people left in the north, where 73.6% of the buildings have been damaged or destroyed. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1su4…a0dw I recall earlier in the pandemic there was a man who had gotten vaccinated a ton, for fraud purposes. He'd get people legitimate proof of vaccination cards by filling out the forms using their names and actually getting vaccinated. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1psd…9sr7 npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Biobot just released their latest wastewater data and the national average for viral copies of Sars-Cov-2 in US wastewater actually rose a bit to 883 copies/ml. This now marks two straight months where there is more Covid going around than at any time before Omicron. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1zdp…vqv8 Democrats have done a piss poor job of articulating plans/doctrinal stances on a wide number of issues. They're not presenting "We think this is a better approach and more consistent with our party values." npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub18hd…kf64 Can't really call it a single board computer score when it has an actual second board to support it. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1yk6…4zz4 Could also potentially be ectoplasmic residue. That has certainly been known to leak upward from NY streets from time to time. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1su4…a0dw And you better believe that the spammers are training up Captcha defeat AI's on data sets in order to enable automatic fake-person account creation at scale. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1zaw…tdg8 Metal bucket just in case things catch on fire? :) npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1p9k…865w Until it slips out of your hand and turns it $1200 of broken glass and metal. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I didn't have a phone in a case. I'd honestly prefer phones in high end plastics than glass/metal. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1hvd…9sq9 It is one of those big works of science fiction, like Dune, which everyone is going to fail at...but the failures can be damn interesting. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1hvd…9sq9 A lot of Asimov's stuff was written like thought experiments or puzzles, with weak characterization. Makes adaptations of a lot of his work difficult without having to be pretty loosely drawn. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Some of the birds seen today while on my daily walk through Bellevue's wetlands. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1hvd…9sq9 The whole thing has strayed so far away from Asimov and his big ideas. I'm still watching and the show unquestionably has some great production values and some good actors, but it is tonally all over the place, sometimes embarrassingly so. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a Never done the Drobo things. I used the Readynas line of NAS products for a while and then switched over to Synology. Very satisfied with my personal Synology NAS devices and have a good dozen higher end unit deployed with clients as file / backup servers and in other roles. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a I've just never felt Macs represented good value. I've pretty much always been on the PC side of thing (Windows + Linux). I'm competent with Macs up to a "desktop support" level, but not for building small businesses around them. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a I kinda miss the buildout/maintenance end of things. I miss diving into my bins of spares and diving into a pile of computers and figuring out what is wrong with them. It is a sort of ZEN activity for me that engages my mind to just the right degree that I can do it while listing to music. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1ept…jcl3 Same here, one of the few times in the pandemic where multiple people in my close circle have gotten hit all at once and it is hitting them hard enough for them to get tested and go through the hoops to get Paxlovid. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a I've got some of my pictures from that trip up at: npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a @npub1mqg…qfay It was a photo trip for my brother and I. I did a lot of wide angle shots and stitched together panoramas. He had a 4*5 view camera along and also made a bunch of gigapans. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Been going through a big pile of my client's cast off computers to see what can be salvaged and repurposed and repaired and what goes to e-waste. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1mqg…qfay My brother and I visited Capitol Reef in 2011 and really enjoyed it. One of the least visited parks due to remoteness, but filled with wonders. Our Jeep got SOOOO muddy. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1grx…uxfe Got to love paying $100+ a year at the annual rate and STILL seeing ads. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a In the Twilight books that is where the Cullens go when they want to eat bears. Grizzly is Emmett's favorite :) npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a I have a high-efficiency Haier window-box AC unit which is much quieter and cools more, but I've been too lazy to put it in this year. Getting the window brace and weather seal in place generally takes a few hours and I always seem to break down and do it only after it has gotten way too hot and wind up dripping with sweat. This one is much easier to just pop in place to beat the heat on the handful of days I feel I really need it. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Finally gave up on trying to make it through this summer without AC. It is supposed to make it up to 90 degrees F today and our house design turns it into an oven. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a Damn, that photo needs to be behind a content warning because now I've got a hankering for donuts. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1su4…a0dw It isn't just parts consolidation and organic looking external appearances, either. One of the big benefits of additive manufacturing versus subtractive machining is that the parts can be hollow and internally latticed for strength. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Some of the birds seen today while on my daily walk through Bellevue's wetlands. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1u69…qfp9 @npub1h66…0ec3 Naomi Wu has been persistently warning people of the threat of keystroke leakage from 3rd party keyboards for users of Signal and other encrypted messaging apps since at least 2019. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage Some of the birds I saw today while on my daily walk through Bellevue's wetlands. npub1gjr96w8s6qutjxnnlpzh6vrlxp4q3c3zg8ycdspw4ujm5jq9xwnsqp7442 Infoseepage @npub1c5c…644a I'm enjoying the quality of interaction here far more than I ever was my Twitter follower account. I just wish more of my RL friends would make the shift.
