Well I was sorta kinda thinking about Starlink to replace my much faster (and more expensive) cable modem plan, in spite of not wanting to give Elon any of my money. This change takes it off the table. Good riddance.

Yes, for several decades. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicella_vaccine. And yes, adult chicken pox is generally worse, but is virtually nonexistent in vaccinated populations.

I have not studied the issue, but I am reasonably sure the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) applies to the vaccination policy decision. The APA, among other things, requires that administrative policy not be decided by "arbitrary and capricious" processes. So the case may turn on whether...

MAHA my ass.

Any idea who the manufacturer of the FETs is?

I hope some day Ingenuity will be brought back to Earth and placed in the Air & Space museum. Of course I'll be long gone by then. RIP Ingenuity.

You're in rare form for this article, Beth! Thanks for the groans. Personally I vote for "almond squeezings". No chance for consumer confusion there.

Yeah, I'm feeling the schadenfreude too, but we're only as strong as our weakest links. I strongly favor efforts to increase vaccination among the hesitant/resistant. I just don't have a clue how to do that.

Some bacteria like to eat cellulose, so I wonder about the long-term stability of such materials, especially in outdoor applications.

Do hair cells regenerate in the inner ears of sloths as they do in chickens? if not that poor sloth may have hearing worse than mine now.

Works in my Firefox...🤔

I'm trained in both, and have generally found those trained in science "do law" better than those trained in law "do science". But in this case the distinction is irrelevant, since the judge was contriving an argument to reach a desired decision, The real question to me is whether we should...

I disagree. While it's unclear if the actions by Tesla employees were criminal, it appears likely they constitute a tort, subject to civil damages. (Edit to correct grammar.)

Heh, my family has 4 cars, three of which are at least 15 years old and the other a mere 13. I may yet go back to mid-60's Buicks rather than upgrade to a modern rolling computer. (Yeah I know, mileage, safety, etc...)

Attorneys are ethically obliged to zealously represent their clients' interests, and decisions can be reversed when they fail to do so. I know attorneys that vigorously represent clients in criminal case, knowing the client needs to be put away, to make sure they can't get the conviction...

How can someone so smart be such an idiot? I wish I had his intellect, but not his morals.

I used to siphon leaded gas by mouth. No wonder I never won a Nobel...

My favorite nominal damages example is "the lowest coin of the realm" in the QB VII series (1974). Much less than extra cheese.

Also there is the possibility of methane hydrates decomposing as the oceans warm.

This is hardly the future that I naively expected, as a kid, the 2000's to be like. I'm still waiting for my jet car.
