    Today has been symptom-free. Tomorrow evening, I have my follow-up phone call about symptoms. If things go as expected, I'm off isolation as of Friday.

    I see y'all are still joking about #Funko_Pop figurines. I think they're okay. I don't see myself ever owning one, but if you do, it is okay. Now if you're still collecting #Teletubbies stuff, I get to laugh at you a little bit. But only a little, because obviously it means something to you, or you would have moved on to something else.

    I generally depend on plug-in over the ear headphones for my phone conversations. For some reason, every time I talk on the phone, every piece of equipment in the hotel starts making noises and I can't pick out human conversation from the noises. I use them with multiple devices ... phones, tablets, laptops.

    Why not Bluetooth? Because it is not reliable for that purpose. I've had too many "my headset's not working, so we'll need to try this call later" moments. Also because it only grabs one device at a time, and if it has multi-device capability, it always grabs the wrong one.

    Why not USB C? 1 ... not everyone wants to re-buy all their equipment so their headphones can work again; 2 ... I've already seen damaged USB C ports where someone tried to jam a recalcitrant connector into a device. While it is an improvement over microUSB (USB micro B), it is still worse than mini audio jack for this use case.

    #GS3 was just talking about a long neck excavator. That may just be his name for it.

    His book is about dinosaur-construction equipment hybrids. Two great things that go great together, like peanut butter and chocolate.

    Study Finds Cannabinoids Prevent COVID-19 Infection Slashdot
    https://nu.federati.net/url/284617

    >Compounds in cannabis can prevent infection from the virus that causes Covid-19 by blocking its entry into cells, according to a study published this week by researchers affiliated with Oregon State University. A report on the research, "Cannabinoids Block Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 and the Emerging Variants," was published online on Monday by the Journal of Natural Products. The researchers found that two cannabinoid acids commonly found in hemp varietals of cannabis, cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, also known as CBDA, can bind to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. By binding to the spike protein, the compounds can prevent the virus from entering cells and causing infection, potentially offering new avenues to prevent and treat the disease.
    >
    >"Orally bioavailable and with a long history of safe human use, these cannabinoids, isolated or in hemp extracts, have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2," the researchers wrote in an abstract of the study. The study was led by Richard van Breemen, a researcher with Oregon State's Global Hemp Innovation Center in the College of Pharmacy and Linus Pauling Institute, in collaboration with scientists at the Oregon Health & Science University. Van Breeman said that the cannabinoids studied are common and readily available. "These cannabinoid acids are abundant in hemp and in many hemp extracts," van Breemen said, as quoted by local media. "They are not controlled substances like THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, and have a good safety profile in humans."
    >
    >Van Breemen added that CBDA and CBGA blocked the action of emerging variants of the virus that causes Covid-19, saying that "our research showed the hemp compounds were equally effective against variants of SARS-CoV-2, including variant B.1.1.7, which was first detected in the United Kingdom, and variant B.1.351, first detected in South Africa." [...] Although further research is needed, van Breemen noted that study shows the cannabinoids could be developed into drugs to prevent or treat Covid-19. CBDA and CBGA are produced by the hemp plant as precursors to CBD and CBG, which are familiar to many consumers. However, they are different from the acids and are not contained in hemp products." Van Breeman also noted that the research showed the cannabinoids were effective against new variants of the virus, which he said are "one of the primary concerns" in the pandemic for health officials and clinicians.

    @geniusmusing The government has shown shocking incompetence at protecting employees' information. They (and their contractors) are not likely to better protect taxpayers' data, nor are they going to be quick to respond when crackers subvert this facial biometrics system and get billions of tax refund dollars sent to accounts in Belarus.

    1. 2018 Hawaii false missile alert
      On the morning of Saturday, January 13, 2018, a ballistic missile alert was accidentally issued via the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alert System over television, radio, and cellphones in the U.S. state of Hawaii. The alert stated that there was an incoming ballistic missile threat to Hawaii, advised residents to seek shelter, and concluded: "This is not a drill". The message was sent at 8:07 a.m. local time. Civil defense outdoor warning sirens were not authorized by the state. Thirty-eight minutes and 13 seconds later, state officials blamed a miscommunication during a drill at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency for the first message. Governor David Ige publicly apologized for the erroneous alert. The Federal Communications Commission and the Hawaii House of Representatives launched investigations into the incident, leading to the resignation of the state's emergency management administrator. Background Escalating tensions between North Korea and the United States, including threats by both countries that they could use nuclear weapons against one another, prompted a heightened...

    #Daddy_A is so happy with his new body that he took a shirtless photo, something he hasn't done since childhood. He told me about it, but he didn't send it to me. I guess he's still got a way to go before he's able to feel comfortable showing it to people.

    I think it's absolutely amazing that Adolf Frederick, king of Sweden, had no fewer than five "etc" in his full title, of which three shoved in there in direct sequence. If someone used this in a film adaptation, you'd think it was satire or sarcasm.

    "Wi Adolph Friedrich med Guds Nåde, Sweriges, Göthes och Wändes utkorade Konung &c. &c. &c. Arfwinge til Norrige,
    Hertig til Schlesswig-Hollstein, Stormaren och Dittmarschen, Grefwe til Oldenburg och Delmenhorst &c. &c."

    That's "[We, Adolf Frederick by the grace of God, crowned king of Swedes, Goths and Wends etc. etc. etc. Heir to Norway, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn and Dithmarschen, Count of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst etc. etc.]".

    They immediately started making the platform's best games. At least for the year or two that I played the Atari 2600 VCS. Chopper Command and Pitfall were amazing! I think they also made one where YOU are the space invader, battling to take over someone else's planet.

    @geniusmusing I was just telling someone recently that the vaccines needed to be combined specifically because it is already too much hassle to juggle #coronavirus boosters and annual #influenza shots.
    My understanding is that the current flu vax sometimes doesn't protect much. It depends whether they pick the right strains. Unless they figure out how to cover a larger variety of strains.

    My point was more that C-19 looks like it will be with us for a long time if companies are planning for this.
