That’s awesome! We need more monitoring. It’s the only way we’ll know what is actually going on. There’s a lot to be said for testing sewage effluent, and not every state can afford that.

I don’t care where she gets the money, as I’m delighted where the money is going.

Lancet Article: Global health burden and cost of lead exposure in children and adults: a health impact and economic modelling analysis https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(23)00166-3/fulltext

This is the part I really don’t get. How does ‘killing your own base’, and adding to the healthcare burden with more long covid cases, work in the long or short term? Or at all. I guess they are just thinking till '24, but we’ve got a long winter season of SARS-CoV-2, RSV, & Influenza before we get to November '24. And your right, people will die, and be disabled in greater numbers if they follow what DeSantis says.

Thank you for what you do!

scutum
skyoo͞′təm
noun

1. A scute.

2. A shield-shaped dorsal sclerite or plate of certain insects and arachnids.

3. An oblong shield made of boards or wickerwork covered with leather, with sometimes an iron rim; carried chiefly by the heavy-armed infantry of the Roman army.

I’m assuming the third definition is the one we’re after. But it could be an alligator scute, ya never know. (https://animals.howstuffworks.com/reptiles/alligator.htm). And having looked at scutes, I think a phone shaped like that would be all kinds of amusing!

I’d been using an iPod Touch 4G thru 7G, for my everything pocket computer. Apple killed the iPod Touch, so I migrated to iPhone 13 mini just over a year ago. Sorry folx, they prolly killed the 13 mini cuz of me. Any other Apple products you’d like me to latch onto, so Apple will kill it? :-(

I had a firefox extension that randomly surfed around the web, making a complete pile of unrelated garbage out of one’s browsing history, for circumstances like this.

Crabs are sneaky that way.

Cool, the study was done at the University of North Sumatra. I’m adding it to my archive. Thanks!!

From the Abstract/ Conclusion: “All three type of masks such as surgical mask, N95 mask, and carbon mask was effective to reduce CO levels from air pollution with the most significant was N95 and carbon mask. Fabric mask has the poorest protection from CO levels.”

I’m surprised at the N95 being effective. And expect the best results would come from a fresh, well fitted, carbon filter. As for myself, I do my best to ride where the motor vehicles are not present. Our town, like many, has a decent bike/ walking trail system.

I somehow ended up as the sole moderator for r/Corfu. It’s a VERY slow subreddit. I’m not sure if I should ignore it, or if there’s something I can do with the tiny lever of ‘power’.

I remember seeing Trailer Trash Barbie, and Cross Dress Ken back in the 90s. Perhaps it was from BLO, or just inspired by them. All the same it was great! And inspired all sorts of conversation. Yay Art!

I’m locked out of my twit acct, so I can neither exit, nor read posts. LoL, what a joke.

Umm, what is EEE? TY!! I found this: https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/EEE, so I’m totally confused.

Here’s what I see going on: Sort of an educational drift. There’s been a lot for stress, particularly for medical professionals over the past 3-7 years. Humans have this need to be ‘in the know’, not just to know things, but to know them before, or more thoroughly than our peer group, or community. Especially smart people, which leads us to a host of logical flaws (which one should study and seek to eradicate) because if they are not guarded against, they can be used for the purpose of manipulation. Unless one has been completely disconnected from the internet, and news media, one has been subjected to a huge application of all sorts of disruptive propaganda over this time. Sherri Tenpenny succumbed to this propaganda, perhaps making a bunch of money in the process, and she didn’t want to give that status up, so she resisted her state medical board. But you can’t practice without a license, they will literally bring you to court, and possibly even lock you up in jail, fine you, etc. We’re all subject to these same flaws in our thinking, as they are an epiphenomenon of our very nervous systems.

That’s what I don’t get. She had to have studied physics, and magnetism. Microbiology, virology, and vaccines would all have been in her curriculum. What happened? The license wasn’t suspended because of all that, tho’. It was the doctors unwillingness to cooperate with her state medical board, given they had 350! complaints against her license. As a licensed physician, for reasons related to our oath of practice, and as a small business person, for reasons of not sending the business one has built over years over a cliff, I just cannot comprehend this doctor’s actions. smh.
