So putting an air purifier in a day care cuts kids sick days by a third.
Man, someone from Waterloo public health should just grab their credit card, order 220 air purifiers, and give two to every child care center in the city.
The results of the study at two Helsinki daycare centres are still preliminary but promising, a researcher says.Yle News

This will make a copy of the file to be edited by your normal editor, unprivileged, and when you exit the editor, the original file's contents will be replaced.
The cool thing about this is that you're inside your familiar environment, with your editor's config and all.
The disadvantages are that you have to _exit_ the editor to apply the changes, and you can't load other files.
Okay, drop everything. tom7 has found a reasonable use case for generative "AI".
Creating fully justified text paragraphs (that's when all lines are the same length, as opposed to simple left-aligning).
Not by introducing hyphens or optimizing the whole paragraph like previous-century #typesetting systems (e.g. #TeX) do.
But by rewriting the text to choose different words that fit better.

Finding a TV to buy is a fucking weird experience, because you'll find a TV for like, 200 bucks, and then you'll go online to see if it like, you know, displays images and won't fall apart immediately and the reviews are like
"don't buy that TV, buy this [$1000 TV] instead"
"I would only put that in the woodshed in one of my 6 AirBnBs"
"I wouldn't piss on that TV if it was on fire, I'd only piss on this [$1500] TV instead"
"yeah buy it if you're STUPID and like WASTING MONEY and HATE YOURSELF"
"that TV is trash, so are you, everything about you is poor and bad and I literally wake up every morning, go out and buy one of these, then smash it with a baseball bat"
and then you get the TV and it's totally fucking fine, because of course it is, this is the year 2024 and even a "garbage" TV is perfectly cromulent at having pixels light up.
New analysis says that burning wood pellets to generate electricity produces FOUR TIMES as much CO2 as COAL. Time to shut the Drax power station without delay. Atmospheric physics isn’t fooled by greenwashing claims.

Biomass is touted as a sustainable, 'net-zero' alternative to fossil fuels. It's even recommended by organisations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climat...YouTube
We asked 1,000+ attendees to mask indoors this weekend, and everyone just did. I didn’t have to stop and remind a single person the entire 3 days.
There were definitely gaps in the policy, the risk wasn’t reduced to zero, but if anyone is wondering if it’s possible for events and large gatherings to make reasonable accommodations to reduce the risk of spreading COVID, it absolutely is, we proved it, and your event should be doing it too.
Glinda dropped Dorothy's house on the Wicked Witch of the East, not the tornado, and uses Dorothy to gain control of Oz.
One of the first things Glinda tells Dorothy is that SHE killed the witch. They praise her so she'll accept it, and when the Witch of the West comes along, who killed her sister?
Dorothy.
Glinda then puts the ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet but does not tell her that she can use them to go home. Instead she sends Dorothy to Oz in possession of objects that a witch would murder her for.
Dorothy, being forced into a situation where her only salvation is Oz and her worst enemy is the queen, inadvertently exposes the Wizard of Oz as a fraud and murders the Witch of the West.
Now who's left to rule Oz? Glinda fuckin' witch of the North. She used Dorothy as an expendable pawn to gain control of Oz without having to leave her bubble. And when Dorothy is done upheaving the two biggest powers in Oz, Glinda sends her home and makes her think it was all a dream!
The curse of white fur!
Or you could leave it as a permanent mark of your awesomeness. ;)

This caustic treat just popped up at the other place, courtesy of David Osland:
'Do we have two-tier policing in Britain? With me in the studio to discuss is a former Tory MP who wasn't charged with betting on the election date, a ferry boss who wasn't penalised for unlawfully sacking 800 workers and a woman who sold £200m-worth of unusable PPE to the NHS'!
100 people died in January, crossing the Mediterranean.
No "specialist search and rescue teams" out for them.
Not even reporting on each boat, let alone putting a name and a few sentences about each one.
We are told yacht owners are "worth" $billions.
Refugees are clearly thought to be worthless. We have to search for news of them.
They are humans in desperate circumstances, often caused by us.

My chemo sweatshirt arrived!
It has zippers in both sleeves so that I can wear it while getting my infusions. And it's going to be awesome when I get labs done in the winter because I don't have to take it off.
I got this on Etsy from DangerZTone (https://www.etsy.com/shop/DangerZtone?ref=usf_2020). It can also include chest zippers for those who need them.

Got to bring Drogon out at #FanExpoCanada for a (sadly, not well attended) Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon photoshoot.

Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible.
Manson didn’t kill anyone himself. But he was responsible.
Bin Laden didn’t fly the planes himself. But he was responsible.
Trump didn’t storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible.
Justice matters.
Huh.
So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?
A mile is 1.609 kilometers.
The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.
So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc
5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.
etc etc.
Kinda neat IMO.
