We’ve been wondering the same at our home, too. Son’s prom was at a venue with capability to have hosted the event outside. It was a beautiful evening/night, too.

Middle school, which had a...

What’s underwear?

It’s interesting to see how death rates differ in different parts of the country. Where I live, we seem to lag behind other areas of CA but our spikes last longer. While other rural counties, like...

My niece has escaped the firing squad from prom so far (two weekends ago). She was directly exposed with long periods unmasked in small and minimally ventilated places where many others were infected...

the new cdc report on long covid. Several major limitations, but interesting to see their overall results (ugh): https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7121e1.htm?s_cid=mm7121e1_w

1/5 of those...

Somebody buy these! Much cheaper than prodeal.

Have a link? I have friends that may be interested.

Jong question: I’m seeing shorter boards marketed for shorter people. 3/5 of my family is below 5’4” and 2 will always be that short. For bigger people to use that type of board, what’s the...

They didn’t mask at my HSer’s prom, either. This is the small HS where most (almost all) the kids and staff wear masks every day in class.

So interesting teen social stuff going on.

The Bay...

My niece’s prom last Friday in the Bay Area was a super spreader event. 70 kids so far tested positive. School is nearly completely maskless. This week, there were kids that attended that prom with...

I really like bibby 184. I’m 5’10”, 150-ish and on teles. In deeper Tahoe snow, I get bogged down (because of tele turns) compared to wider skis. They are playful and chargy for me. I hadn’t...

There is no public discourse about covid infections in my area, except for the bi-weekly update on the county dashboard (does not include a press release or anything) and from the middle school...

Is this the study? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3556235/

Have the strain been determined that’s been detected in Europe? I thought I’d read there were two strains with different...

My understanding is that monkeypox is also spread through aerosol. An enforcing reason to improve indoor ventilation standards.

Thanks! I’ll check that out. We’d have to re-up our membership. It’s an hour drive from our house.

Local ace HW has retrospec weekender with 300# capacity for $430. Are there better options at this price point? For noodling around at local lakes/reservoirs. For myself and/or family.

The kids that are testing positive at the moment were probably exposed last week or over the weekend, possibly at school and outside of school. Many kids were sleeping in tents together. The teachers...

5 of the 28 kids on the camping trip are now positive. Between 10am yesterday and early this morning, 4 tested positive. At least 2 tested negative (antigen) at 10am yesterday and were positive by...

That’s an interesting way to consider it. I want to take another close look at their data with that point of view in mind. I’ve been trying to make heads or tails of their output. I’ve heard one...

I’m currently not too excited about how first street foundation portrays wildfire. Probability recurrence of wildfire in a wildfire adapted/dependent environment…. Really? Also, their model (like...

Woot woot on the stoke!

Did anybody ski during the lunar eclipse?

Those lines on Whorl always look awesome! The text that I’ve read about the approach has previously dissuaded me from making...

I hope all infected feel better soon.

We had some funk go through our household of 5 last week. Lots of negative rapid antigen tests in the course of the week.

Just got back from chaperoning a...

I probably wouldn’t had done much yet this spring if I hadn’t injured my mcl at the beginning of April. I had plans to be on Lassen about now.

Bucked up one of the log decks that I made a few years ago from thinning Doug firs on our little property.

Snowblades really help with all of these situations.

Wait!!!

Mags crashing skiing <30* powder runs?! And losing a ski?!

WTF?

I just looked it up. The 6” chipper that I rent is $175/day. Almost to the same cost. We have too many chip piles at the moment. last summer, meat bees made a nest in one pile. That kinda sucked.
...

I can’t help with hedge trimmer advice.



We’ve done that a bunch, too. I missed the free green waste disposal in our area, too. Your chippers are more expensive to rent than ours. The thing...

Thx.

Probably different burning objectives on your island than my area. Just make sure you don’t kill the vegetation that you don’t want to kill.

I didn’t know that the tx-pro’s had tech fittings for the heels.

For those that are interested, zeke Lunder is “covering” the hermit peak fire in NM, with his remote sensing tools and commentary. Mostly on Twitter.

And the “helping friendly book?”

Looking fwd to the upcoming episodes.

If boot liners were soaked due to sweat, consider a vapor barrier sock. I have used tall 1mm Camino neoprene socks for the past few years. Work great....

Same (I hope!!!)

I’ve been teleing since 1995, I was 19. Pretty good and strong alpine skier. I learned on beefy leather tele boots. I can make tele turns on small light plastic boots, xcd gear, and skate gear, but I...

Thanks!!

I have no interest in tree mortality from fire on my property or my neighbors’ properties :)

I’ve been seeing pictures of significant hauls below 5500 feet in the caldor fire...

I found the right thread. We started doing small understory broadcast burns on our property during the dry winter. We live in a pondo pine/black oak forest, which is mostly full of fire...

There’s been about 40ac of low intensity understory broadcast burns this winter in my pondo pine/black oak forest neighborhood to reduce understory fuels, including on my property. Generally,...

Did you all see the tally from the White House press corps dinner party?

Speaking of drought, Colorado river basin, and the Coachella valley, it’s been a few years, but I’m still blown away from learning about the ancient Lake Cahuilla, up to 2,200 sq miles, existed for...

In the late 90’s, I used to conduct brainwave experiments on a man in his mid-80’s. He spent every school day auditing classes at the university, mostly biology courses. He had a degree in biology...

But related to the recent Twitter thread and some of the journal articles that I’ve recently posted.

Subject of pathological diagnosis and tx for one version of long Covid related to mitochondrial dysfunction and “metabolically-led post-exertional symptoms,” I thought this was an interesting thread...

Re: long covid, do you all have personal friends still dealing? I have a few. Some almost 18 months past infection.

Is there a mechanism for an off ramp if the guidelines are not following the science? An easy low hanging fruit are the 5 day rule to return back to work (I’m not sure if hospitals are given that...

At the hospital that you work at, is there a trigger of when to step-up measures or is that reliant on government employee (eg public health officer) stipulated measures?

What response do you find more appropriate?

Here’s an interesting preprint on the prevalence of long covid: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4099429
