Feels like this needs someone to look at this from an industrial design lens.
People who come to gas stations to fuel up their cars behave very differently from people who come to a place to charge, no?

Thanks. I should have checked more closely, didn't anticipate this was already here. Entirely my bad.

Great news. Finding stuff that doesn't fit into the current model and we need smart people to get to work understanding may be the surest sign that the JWST is invaluable.

Interesting, but I'd need far more medical knowledge than I have to put this into context. Does this mean people with existing heart conditions should avoid these vaccinations? Does it mean those at otherwise very low risk for severe COVID-19 shouldn't bother? I sure dunno.

Granny Smith, Red Delicious are both, rightly, trashed. Good.

on: Rocket scientists and brain surgeons are NO smarter than you are, study claims
Note, regardless of the validity of this study I am confident that the vast majority (all) rocket scientists and neurosurgeons are smarter than *I* am. ;-)

Yeah, I bought a house not far from a Costco. I don't hit the food court every day, but I pretty much only buy Costco gas.

on: Electrical engineer spends $150 a year to eat all his meals at Six Flags
I almost wonder if the schlep through the parking lot, into the amusement park and to the food stand, and back to the car every day offsets the bad diet. And if not, how many steps would do the trick?

on: Evidence for European presence in the Americas in AD 1021
A millennia from now, I think people may well be kind of shocked to learn that we got to the moon in 1969 if a collapse, global recession or some other calamity derails the latest efforts to get back there within the next few years.

Strange to think this discovery was made at the apex of the Byzantime Empire under Basil II. The Roman Empire was still somewhat of a thing.
