All I have are some random thoughts so apologies in advance for their general uselessness. Too many ethical arguments both ways for my little...

Unfortunately the sarcasm wasn't lost, I'm just trying to be more diplomatic with people who claim stupidity. The "just" implies that no one ever...

So you're saying you're adjusting your understanding to account for the mistake in your assumption? Are you removing the word "just" and accounting...

Foggy basin pushed the ceiling up for a minute or six between the hail and graupel. Halfway to a reset maybe? Ice under B- feels covered, at least.

Sigworthy

At the risk of stating the obvious: now skiing. Highly recommended. Maybe sleeping first (so not technically now) but then definitely skiing.

Obviously I'm just spitballing here, so not really looking to take a firm position on it, either. The recent numbers out of Scotland and Israel were...

Well played, sir

FIFY I think it worked out. No idea what I'll think of this in a few more hours, but so far so good; just about to hour 5, skied from ~1.5-4.5. ...

Like like no one yet. If I'm the first I'll update--but no GoPro footie.

Ok, Dr Two-dose, here's the question that keeps ringing in my head: if we're concerned about dropping down to one dose for mRNA's, should we also try...

I want to go skiing right after Moderna #2 for a couple hours. Why's that a bad idea?

Yeah, I noticed you said Friday was busy, too. We must be hitting opposite times or places lately. Pretty sure the fog is an easy explanation--my...

I worked with a guy who had been involved with the Q400 qualification in ~2012 and we discussed those props a bit. He said the qual standard was to...

Ouch, glad that didn't end with something worse! That ice layer is sneaky. Last week I unwittingly pointed someone onto it just past B chute and got...

Think of it as a chance to do original exploring. A rare opportunity these days. Way easier than it used to be, and getting less rewarding as the...

Depends on the objective. A more basic question would be whether or not capturing a multi-dimensional situation in a one-dimensional rating is the...

Wishful thinking is one way to put it. Herd immunity threshold depends on behavior and interactions. It's like if we have five threads and some...

Are you speaking the language they use to train the bots?

The ability to lay off employees if things don't go as expected actually encourages manufacturing to ramp up. Not as nice for the employees but less...

There it is

Systemic change

For sure. Conversely, the randos on a message board are a little more like the general (no to say exactly "voting") public. Interesting point...

I don't know if we'll see a study on single doses here, but the ones in Israel (Lancet link above) and the UK (bumping second doses to 12+ weeks on...

Thanks for inspiring me to do the same. All you stupid fucks calling people names are being stupid and you need to knock it off. It's stupid because...

I should have just read the NEJM letter's chart slower, the details are straightforward. The sample size was kind of small to get very precise about...

The whole problem with that line of thought is that we don't know duration of either 1 or 2 dose regimens. So we have no direct evidence that 2 will...
