It suggests the new plastics have the PFAS. Any that are fluorinated by Inhance. To your point, the recycled may have them too, as a consequence.

[Late Update]

The fish 3.5.0 release is not responsible for my tmux issue. False alarm.

Downgrading did somehow help me regain shell interaction, but I can't create a new session/pane, etc.

I think something else broke my tmux setup during the brew upgrade, or possibly even before it.

Thank you in advance!

This killed all shell interaction within my tmux setup, somehow, and I had to downgrade in osx/brew [1] back to v3.4.1 [2]. I'm still wondering what part of my (probably outdated) tmux config caused it, but the most suspicious part is the run-shell/if-shell stuff.

Anyway, have things to do before I can try again and dig in. Thought I'd post in case someone else ran into this.

[Edit] Tip: swap to a different shell before uninstalling your current shell. Sigh...lol

I enjoyed reading the Philosophy [1] behind Sup, for the glimpse into how Gmail's immediate search feature changed how people use email clients, and how it inspired Sup.

An updated design, also known as a Comparetto Cube, [1] uses four filters and a cardboard base that can sit directly on the floor.

I never understood the purpose of the bottom filter in the Corsi-Rosenthal Box, so it felt like a waste of a filter, but I'm a big fan of the Comparetto Cube (no put intended). And 4 packs of filters are readily available -- 20x20x2 is suggested for the Comparetto Cube.

[edit] Also, thank you. I couldn't recall the Corsi-Rosenthal name/link, but thought of the wiki immediately.

Which alternative to MBFC is preferred? AllSides or AdFontesMedia or?

You should still get vaccinated. Post-infection immunity is very heterogeneous, with respect to what level of protection you'll have, and how long it will last. You might have great protection for a bit, or you might get reinfected just like the first time, like many have.

The combined protection of natural with vaccination will be better than just one or the other. I hope you stay safe.

The mRNA vaccines were developed to target the spike protein of the Alpha variant. We got lucky it works so well against Delta, or else they would have had to roll out a new vaccine.

Based on your wording, it sounds like you have the mistaken impression that the mRNA vaccines are expected to account for and target all future variants. A future variant may have a large enough mutation to the spike protein and render them 0% effective. But they can rollout a new vaccine very quickly with EUA. Sorry if I've misinterpreted.

I don't remember ever seeing #s promising long term effectiveness, but eventually later seeing a chart with projected effectiveness waning over time. What they should do is be careful to present variant specific numbers. There's too much generalizing, like I did as well, lumping Pfizer and Moderna together.

So it's a white lie, at most, because he was always accurate. He stayed within the "real range" of 70-90, but he varied based on what people could tolerate hearing.

If he said 70-90%, then people may only hear 90 and think no way we'll get there. Sounds reasonable. If people hear we'll never get herd immunity due to delta and the potential for new variants, will more people get it or will it eliminate a reason for some to get it?

"My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins."

Your freedom to catch and spread covid to me is not supported by established law. It's also why we don't allow smoking in restaurants, etc. And it's also related to seat belt laws. George Washington forced our soldiers to take a smallpox innoculation and it was pivotal to us winning.

In 1905, in Jacobson v Massachusetts, the US Supreme Court upheld the Cambridge, Mass, Board of Health’s authority to require vaccination against smallpox during a smallpox epidemic. It ruled that the public health trumps your ability to freely engage in society if you will endanger it.

You'd like to reach herd immunity, but you didn't offer a solution; instead, you gave a hopeful outcome if we do nothing. We have millions that refuse to vaccinate yet wish to move freely in society. They are clogging hospitals and costing our society an estimated $6B, and climbing. Reaching herd immunity while using your version of freedom means that long covid disabilities and deaths are just an inevitable that we're hopeless to prevent.

The long-term safety is an angle that sounds reasonable, but isn't, and is used as an anti-vax talking point. A doctor is expected to know better.

First, historically, no vaccine has caused adverse effects beyond about 2 months. Second, millions have been vaccinated for nearly 9 months already. Third, the mRNA vaccine is metabolized in the body and leaves no trace of itself past 11-14 days. Fourth, it is not a daily medication.

A reasonable analogy of drinking a beer and being worried the after effects might hit you a year after the fact, because it's untested, is obviously approaching absurd.

It is true/correct. It's much easier to measure hospitalizations rather than infection, and the #s in the real world confirmed the advertised effectiveness from the trial, for Alpha.

1) CSV can often be human readable at a glance (more so than most other formats, depending on that data), and that makes it appear deceptively simple and compact. Possibly due to that, I'd bet most of us have been bit by a writer/reader that doesn't respect the RFC rules.

2) I ask for TSV, whenever convenient. It's been more reliable, and I don't have a comprehensive why, but I think it's slightly more resilient to writer/reader inconsistencies, for me. It may be that there's just less need for escaping and quoting, so you might dodge a smart quotes debacle when asking for a one-off from an Excel user, for example.

3) Despite the issues raised, the notion we'd retire it makes me hug it tight, because for the majority of my requirements, it hits a sweet spot. I still reserve the right to raise my fist in frustration when someone does: ",".join(mylist).

Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist, appears to make serious claims related to covid vaccines without supporting evidence. Searching his name reveals he's being given a voice by some of the right-wing media, but if there was substance to what he had to say, other doctors, researchers, scientists, etc, would eagerly jump to verify and act on it.

Because analytics wasn't in the title and like you said, it's an often repeated post, I thought they were repositioning/retargeting themselves as more general purpose, or something noteworthy, which had me curious.

To have confidence, I'd want a locked/disabled state, while whatever action is processing. The jiggle gives me an uneasy/broken feeling, as a button, even though it is very satisfying as a whimsical object.

It reminds me of the hockey puck buttons that you record a sound on, and how if you press it too quickly, the sound can't keep up, and it feels janky.

Hopefully this isn't too negative, because the tutorial was very readable, informative, and engaging, even for a css novice who had no intention of studying css today.

1. You quickly chill the meat in the freezer (or ice bath) after taking it out of the sous vide. This will help prevent further cooking when searing it, because we only want the sear.

2. You heat the pan as hot as possible, way hotter than normal, so that you can sear with only 10-20 seconds per side. Some use a torch instead.

"Modern Thanksgiving was first officially called for in all states in 1863 by a presidential proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. [...]Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving on the final Thursday in November, explicitly in celebration of the bounties that had continued to fall on the Union and for the military successes in the war." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving

It's easy to see why the "Southern States Saw Thanksgiving as an Act of Nothern Aggression" from Lincoln's action. He extended the meaning of the celebration to include victory of the North over the South, and asked the South to observe it, according to wikipedia.

"If the new language did not exist, that effort could have been spent on improving existing libraries or some other useful endeavour."

This ignores the value and usefulness of learning for the sake of learning, and to allow other people to hone their skills.

Sirius was email, snail mail, and phone calls -- standard stuff, but over the top.

OnStar required calling to cancel. They provide a web UI where you can add a new payment method but you can not remove all payment methods or cancel. Once you've convinced the person on the phone that you want to cancel, a new option to remove your payment method appears in the UI. The person on the phone didn't tell me to go back to the UI, I was just paranoid and saw it by accident.

I'd read enough horror stories on consumer affairs with, for example, people still being charged after they canceled.

At a minimum, it's nice to read this tracking relies on the 4g wifi from OnStar to be active (included in the higher-tier of their paid service). Nice, because I've cancelled their service. However, even after you've cancelled OnStar, there is still basic tracking enabled, but not this radio non-sense.

If they're going to sell our listening habits and whatever else, then at least they can give us the wifi for free.

After getting a GM/Chevy recently, it reminded me of removing the bloatware on a cheap Windows laptop, except in this case, I didn't have the option to install a fresh OS. It comes bundled with free trials of OnStar and Sirius, both of which employ tactics to keep you onboard. Sigh...

+1 "mobility you probably do not have"

Poor posture, tight hamstrings, weak ankles, knee joints, tendons, etc. You can't take those things for granted.

The more complex the movement, the more likely you are to involve a part of the body that is not capable of handling it. Other parts will compensate, but if you go to failure or use imperfect form, you'll quickly discover a weak link.

Complex movements are the best for maximizing strength gains, but even without weights, they can more easily break you.

This. Changed the way I use a browser. New window per topic. Only stop making tabs when the titles/icons can't be seen any more...

Eerily similar circumstances here: intern, alexa, demo this morning. First round is on me...

My mbp fans kicked into overdrive, reminding me that this is a browser game, but otherwise, I echo the sentiments that it loads fast and is really fun.

If you are refusing to enter the password, access to the device, or to disable travel mode, then good luck to you. IANAL, but the border agent doesn't care if the data is technically in the cloud, rather than on the device, because it restores when you unlock it.

In addition to removing the data from the device, cheers, don't you also need to be able to honestly say you can not provide access to it?

Ways to honestly answer, "not possible", and mean it:

- schedule a time period where no password is accepted. - enable whitelist/blacklist zones via geolocation. - set a new password that you give to a trusted friend/coworker/spouse that you must contact to retrieve.

Some combination of the above for ease-of-use, and ploys like emailing yourself the new password after a period of time for redundancy/safety.

I saw the comments here describing pricing, but all I saw was a slideshow with no text and no pictures of the cabin. I finally viewed the source and realized I had to scroll. No one else was baffled? Clearly it's time for bed...

I support the notion that the government shouldn't control what we put into our bodies, but the counter is the burden to society because of the medical costs.

I'd bet insurance companies would fight hard to reject coverage for anyone who publicly takes a non-FDA drug. If society supported the use of them, then they'd also have to support the aftermath, just like veterans.
