@DrEricDing @nehakhanna_07 @DrEricDing Good point. I made this graph to show the difference. People think that 3x more infectious=3x as many cases. No. The 3 goes in the exponent, so the number of cases is 1000x worse or more.

@stacyherbert It would be great if you could interview the author of this story: https://t.co/q6jPMIt5U9

@vicgrinberg @Astro4Earth Thanks, Dr. Grindberg. Look interesting.

@planet4589 Thanks for your coverage of the impact. Here is a map of shipping traffic in the area within hours of impact. The red ships are oil tankers.

@planet4589 Do you ever ask it: "Computer: compute to the last digit the value of π" ? #STTOS

@tony873004 Wow! Wish I was looking up to see it. Perhaps Starlink?

I call them the "Celtic Islands". Britain, Ireland, Manx, Shetlands were all occupied by Celtic peoples before being invaded by Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings & Normans

Prior to Covid, it would routinely build up to 1600ppm with the classroom full and the windows closed. The 2 fans are on the east most and west most windows. The west one sucks air in, while the east one blows air out, which is the usual wind direction.

@MarkRober You must have seen this. https://t.co/eKcXIOp22q It looks like they need your help.

@wellerstein What about Missile Command? Did you every play that in arcades? It had that cool roller ball.

@wellerstein Care to comment on what would have happened if NEWSTART had not been renewed? https://t.co/y1tg9e5YuU

[Chris McCarthy @goldsupernova]

@stacyherbert Stacy, could you compare what's happening now w/ Reddit/GME to Max's Karmabanque idea?

@wellerstein Just curious. If you had to guess, where would you say the football was today? And what happens to it if the 25th Amendment is invoked.

[Chris McCarthy @goldsupernova]

@wellerstein Congratulations! Good luck w/ the tenure board.

[Chris McCarthy @goldsupernova]

Great to hear. A someone working on a book myself, I find this inspiring.

@galendruke 538 has been warning that Trump *could* win. The odds="chance of rain in LA". Guess what happened the day the election was called. https://t.co/8MdWmRE8F6

@wellerstein Hypothetically, if the US President ordered the use of nuclear weapons against, say, California, where along the chain of command would that order be countermanded? Just wondering.
