1) mRNA is fragile, relative to the pretty durable nature of many vaccines that have been optimized over the last 40 years to be idiot proofed. The temperature preserves the efficacy of the vaccine indefinitely, but the actual vaccine doses given to people is warmed to room temperature. At least...

$6.5k for 103k GX? If you pass, send me the lead!

Please keep Californians in California. And if you want a permit, a skybox and 200 free iPads as a “donation” won’t hurt. Technically, the going rate is 50 iPads per issued permit. County Undersheriff, Sheriff’s Captain, Local Businessman, and Apple’s Chief Security Officer Charged with Bribery...

Where I live electricity prices have been declining - in real dollars, pre-inflation. We also run on 100% renewable energy nearly all the time. That story is increasing accurate for most of the US, at least nearly everywhere that is politically red or purple. The only significant outlier in the...

Without getting into details, remember EMP does damage to integrated circuits by electrons trying to get to ground the fastest. Presumably your vehicle is sitting on a mix of relatively nonconducting rubber. Electrons will find something else more attractive to bond to... It is a safe...

Iowa is relatively respectful of personal freedoms. They are getting pummeled by COVID outbreaks in immigrant meat packing communities. Don’t lick people who don’t habla English. Oklahoma is “Safer At Home”. Guess you won’t be, but generally good folks. Pack a gun if in any of the larger towns...
