@Malcolm_Ocean just stopping by Twitter and remembered how much I appreciated your voice. I do hope you’ll dabble with the Fediverse at some point. Don’t think I’ve said hi since https://t.co/m03obP1vTm got the new name. Hope you’re well!
@pcktbot +1, 1.1.1.1 is almost certainly faster than a home built dns, simply because it’s already populated it’s cache while a local unbound has to recurse for every new domain.
I was surprised some plastic from my last @tacotimenw order didn’t break down in my @GetLomi composter. Looking at the sauce cups today, they’re resin code 6, polystyrene. That’s not even recyclable, right?
My family has been sick since this Saturday night, so I’ve been mindlessly listening to the Alex Jones trial. It’s really strange to catch up to real-time just as the defendant cross-ex manages to hit today’s climax.
@bascule Ooh, let’s wrap nuclear waste packets in heat exchangers and use those to fuel inefficient distributed consensus protocols. Surely that will be good for the environment!
But it’s important to note that our standard should at least be somewhat lower than the absolutely worst death rate of the 2020 first wave peak. And 3 weeks ago, more people were dying in my community than back in the first wave with no vaccines and little masking.
At the gym today I got a few funny looks for still sporting my N95. But I’m no evermasker! I put together a standard for when I feel comfortable unmasking and it’s based on (gasp!) evidence instead of the shifting winds of politics.
So given the data available today, when will I have access that can support/refute a hypothesis that severe infections are below the 2020 peak? Likely not until we have all the data in for Mar 3, the first day the prelim data says was below that peak. Can’t wait for March 24!
