Conservative US judges criticize new rule curbing 'judge shopping' (www.reuters.com)

Two conservative federal appeals court judges on Wednesday criticized judicial policymakers for adopting a new rule aimed at curtailing “judge shopping” by state attorneys general, activists and others who challenge government policies in courthouses where one or two sympathetic judges hear most cases....

I suggest, respectfully, that if Judges Ho and Jones don't like the new rules, they can avoid dealing with it by simply resigning. Such action would have an immediate positive effect on the reputation of the Judicial Branch.

6 of 41 counts dismissed... and could be refiled.

"Judge McAfee's decision found that six counts out of the 41-count indictment against Mr. Trump and some of his co-defendants, including Rudy Giuliani, lacked sufficient detail. However, he specified that these charges could potentially be refiled at a later date."

The Middlemist’s Red, rarest flower on earth (www.southsideblooms.com)

The Middlemist’s red belongs to the camellia genus and was imported from China as a luxury item in 1804, but was wiped from its native country. The credit for bringing the flower to Chiswick, West London, goes to a nurseryman from Shepherd’s Bush named John Middlemist, who the flower was named after....

Think a moment on the connection between Gut and Brain. Consider, especially if your case of La 'Rona had GI symptoms and/or alterations in sleep patterns, using Prebiotics, e.g. Inulin, Green Banana Flour, and Probiotics (any live cultured foods that taste good to you, e.g. kimchi), the combination of which Pre + Pro = Synbiotics. Lions mane is also a beneficial nutraceutical / food. Exercise, tho' not of the extreme type, can also benefit cognition.

From the article: " Reinfection with the virus contributed an additional two-point loss in IQ, as compared with no reinfection." So yes, there can be a compounding. It's research like this that makes me want to keep my 'mask, handwash, neti washing, indoor air filtration, avoid crowds indoors, etc' policy in place. Sigh.

The science hasn't changed. If anything we are now more aware of post-viral syndromes to a greater degree, in SARS-CoV-2, AND Influenza, at the very least. I've managed, so far, with diligent masking, hand washing, HEPA filtration, Neti washing, etc to avoid covid, influenza RSV, parapneumovirus, etc. And I hope to continue doing so. One researcher had the phrase, ARDS Roulette, and it's not a game I want to play. Stay strong. Stay healthy.

With vaccination the risk of PASC (long covid) decreases. It is a commonly held belief that viruses become less deadly over time, but that is not supported by the science. The truth is far more complex. Approx. 2300 people die from covid each week in the US. I can't quote numbers for other countries. I can highly recommend TWIV (This Week in Virology, https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/), and related podcasts (https://www.microbe.tv/science-shows-by-scientists/), if you want to keep up to speed on the current science in infectious disease.

Living is a whole lot of work. And I don't have the time, nor the inclination to get sick. AFAIK, not immunocompromised.
If I may ask, do you set aside time each quarter/each year to be sick? I don't. I have responsibilities to myself and to others. I have zero desire to get sick. It's never been an enjoyable experience, for me. And I have even less interest in getting others sick.

I had a client come into the office last Wednesday. Everyone was masked, vaccinated, and the office has a multi-stage HEPA in every room. That client called in on Friday to report that they were covid (+). No one else in the office has tested (+). If we had no rational infectious disease prevention policy, It's quite likely that I would have gotten sick. Are you aware of the recent research associating viral upper respiratory diseases with long term consequences?

With the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic came a review of our understanding of the nature of airborne disease transmission. Research was done in/ around 1937 during the Typhus epidemic, which was mis-interpreted for 78 years. Now it's possible to understand, and behave in a way that markedly reduces airborne disease transmission. One can avail oneself of the current scientific understandings, and significantly reduce the chance of contracting and suffering from airborne disease. Or one can ignore the science. Collectively in the early stages of the pandemic, utilizing Handwashing, Masking, Distancing, and Isolation when sick, humanity was able to make two strains of influenza go extinct. As in gone, forever, from simple behavioral change. Knowing this, can you change? Or will you stick with outdated unscientific understandings, that cause you and others harm? I had to ask myself these questions, and you know what I chose.

Thank you for your reply. I really like the 'small nature' of the Fediverse at this point in time. One small mistake. I never said, and you inferred of your own that I live in fear. One way of looking at it, is that one can move towards what one wants (preference), or move away from what one doesn't want (aversion). Do you live in fear of dehydration? Or do you just get some water when you're thirsty? I prefer to be healthy, life is a lot more fun that way. And I can keep up with my consensual obligations. I'm always refining my approach to staying healthy in the first place. Exercise ( I love to move my body), good diet (healthy, delicious food is such a wonderful thing), a supportive social network (gotta have my dear ones), adequate rest (zomg! sleep! perchance to dream...) are the 'lions share' of my approach. I'm glad your system is "working fine". Bully for you! If you were interested, I think you might really benefit from learning a little more deeply about immunology. Dr. Brianne Barker at Drew University explains this topic in a very accessible fashion - a quick search of brianne barker immunology, would yield some useful lectures. Her website (https://bbarkerdrew.com/immunology-course/). I first came across her from TWiV, which is also quite fascinating and informative. Follow the science, it really is quite fascinating.

Scientists develop game-changing 'glass brick' that could revolutionize construction: 'The highest insulating performance' (www.thecooldown.com)

Scientists develop game-changing ‘glass brick’ that could revolutionize construction: ‘The highest insulating performance’::The team of scientists developed an aerogel glass brick, which is a translucent and thermally insulating material.

Atelopus-zeteki , (edited )
@Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run avatar

For comparison: From Seves Glass Block: "Unlike standard glass blocks that have a thermal transmission coefficient "U"of 2.8 W/sq mt x K), HTI has a "U" value of 1.8 W/(sq mt x K). (https://www.sevesglassblock.com/product/191916-hti-wave-sahara-2s/). So common glass block is 2.8, fancier glass block is 1.8, and this new Aeroblock 0.053!! I think I did my numbers correctly, and DANG! I wan't to start building walls with this stuff tomorrow!!

From the WaPo article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/02/13/covid-isolation-guidelines-cdc-change/):
"The decision was hailed by business groups and slammed by some union leaders and health experts.

Covid is here to stay. How will we know when it stops being special?

The plan to further loosen isolation guidance when the science around infectiousness has not changed is likely to prompt strong negative reaction from vulnerable groups, including people older than 65, those with weak immune systems and long-covid patients, CDC officials and experts said.

Ref'd in that article is: https://peoplescdc.org/ "a coalition of health-care workers, scientists and advocates focused on reducing the harmful effects of covid-19."

"Coronavirus levels in wastewater indicate that symptomatic and asymptomatic infections remain high. About 20,000 people are still hospitalized — and about 2,300 are dying — every week, CDC data show. But the numbers are falling and are much lower than when deaths peaked in January 2021 when almost 26,000 people died of covid each week and about 115,000 were hospitalized."
