Either the soviets or smallpox killed more people than the nazis. I don’t remember which one it was, but just trust me that they were bad, okay?

Do you know why they're trying so hard to get novavax?

Maybe so, but in that case this advice turns into “reduce your carbon footprint by cutting out exercise and becoming more sedentary” which I don’t think is a good strategy.

If we were doing that, we could outlaw treadmills, since they emit infinite CO2 per mile.

This only applies if you assume people are minimizing the amount of calories they spend, but for people trying to maintain a level of physical activity, switching to an e-bike would mean adding some other exercise to compensate, and it comes out worse.

Thanks!

That stand looks super helpful! I would love the file for it. Does the site 0x2640 posted work for you to upload it?

I'm trying out 29g fixed needles for castor oil and I knew drawing would be slow, but it took probably five minutes. Should I be doing something differently, or is that actually how long it takes?

Also, while I was drawing, there was some void space in the syringe from the low pressure. Is that okay, or should I try to minimize that?

Same thing with 'Keev' suddenly becoming the only acceptable pronunciation of Kiev/Kyiv. The 'authentic' way to pronounce it uses vowel sounds that are close to Polish and are very difficult for most English speakers to get right. The distinction between the Ukrainian and Russian pronunciations was artificially reconstructed within the bounds of English speakers' familiarity as "keev" vs "key-ev" in a way mostly unrecognizable to the actual speakers. But now there was an easy indicator of whether someone was sufficiently loyal and willing to snap to the good righteous Ukrainian way, or if they were an agent of Putin who said it the Russian way.

I was looking at this more, and if you're going to order through customs, you should do it soon. If you order now it can still get through before the de minimis exemption ends on the 29th. After that it might be more difficult/expensive.
