@Daniel_E_Park Looks to me there is no statistically significant slower waning for NVX even at 360 days (and no difference at all at 180 days), while before 28 days mRNA is superior. I think the claim that NVX wanes less quickly has a very weak evidence base imo.

@AdamShame3 @robinmonotti If the climate is unchanging yes. In a warming climate no. If you measure relative to a static baseline +2sigma events become more common and -2sigma less common.

[Quantum @QuantumOverlord]

@AdamShame3 @robinmonotti Compare it to a sensible baseline e.g 30y mean, something like the 5th percentile or below would be exceptionally cold. Whatever sensible threshold you pick December 2010 is pretty much the last exceptionally cold month in the UK. Exceptionally warm happens multiple times a year.

@JW_Elev8Wellnes @adamkvonende @nicknorwitz @realDaveFeldman @AdrianSotoMota You also need the LDL, or specifically the apoB there in the first place to get the foam cells. There are also case studies where people have naturally extremely low LDL from PCSK9 mutations that don't develop plaque despite other risk factors; essentially the reverse of this.

@LiveAncestral This has been tested extensively, substituting SFAs with PUFAs drives *down* inflammatory markets.

@BristOliver Netherland wastewater (one of my favourite proxies) hits yet another record low for C19. The COVID fizzle continues, its fascinating but based on the trends it genuinely looks to be slowly disappearing.

@MortySmithSz @3RenChengHu @CupoJoeBlow I know summer will be warmer than winter but I don't know if December 18th will be warmer than December 17th. Climate is a statistical average, weather is a short term perturbation in that average.

[Quantum @QuantumOverlord]

@CupoJoeBlow If natural factors are causing a cooling trend then mathematically >100% of the warming is due to humans.

% warming =100*Human warming/ (Natural + human)

You can easily get a number bigger than 100 by having a negitive natural forcing.

@socratesccost Most of the warming from CO2 is the positive feedback. CO2 effects a small change in temperature which moistens the atmosphere and increases H2O which effects a larger change in temperature. CO2 and H2O cause cooperative warming, it isn't a gotcha.

@jemmm85517813 No its not. Arctic basin is currently above average.

[Quantum @QuantumOverlord]

@SteAssent @raphaels7 He is right. 70% of VO2max is the zone 3 greyzone, pretty much the least useful place to become adapted to. For competitive running you have to be able to perform around LT2 or over it. For elite athletes that is going to be in excess of 90% and may be as high as 95%.

@AmmousMD Evolution only cares that you live long enough to pass on your genes to the next generation not that you live a long healthy life into old age.

@LukeTryl Interesting that Kemi's improving personal approval is doing nothing for the Tory brand. Do focus groups shed any light on this?

[Quantum @QuantumOverlord]

@ClimateRealists No, weather is not climate. The point is that when you average the temperature over the whole globe over, say 10 years, its much warmer than it was 20 years ago. That doesn't mean you can't have variation in a warming climate.

@DrSeanOMara This is just silly. You can't all out sprint for 30 seconds, ATP reserves last half that at most. Jogging regularly improves fat oxidation, the entire point of jogging is to become highly efficient at fat burning such that you are able to stay in the aerobic zone.

@DavidDack High 70s trying to get into the 80s

[Quantum @QuantumOverlord]

@CoffeeBlackMD Its a bit under fat max. Naively one might expect better adaptations closer to lt1

@GlennRestore891 @WONGthink We don't know if these predictions are accurate yet! You know Labour has already risen by ~2pts in the polls, that's because people think Burnham is a PM in waiting. Yougov had the bounce in a conditional question at 8pts and conditionals always understate the effect. I reckon 10
