Lyme disease is on the rise. Why is there still no vaccine?
Two decades after a vaccine was withdrawn, scientists are producing medicines to prevent a disease that afflicts nearly half a million people each year.Patrick Boyle (AAMC)
I don't know if its worth your time to watch it. Maybe it would be nice to watch with some folks who are less aware of lyme. The filmmakers intend for it to serve as a lightning rod for continued activism around pushing for policy change to address lyme and I think that's great. So mostly I saw an opportunity to spread the word a little via your toot. Perhaps you will get all you need from reading this review:

In 2020 and 2021, global atmospheric concentrations of methane – a potent greenhouse gas – surged in record growth since measurements began ~40 years ago.
This video shows global methane emissions from wetlands since 1980. Wetlands are one of the largest single methane sources.
#NASAEarth
Wetlands store massive quantities of carbon in soils. But as the climate gets warmer or wetter, microbes in the wetlands start releasing more methane into the atmosphere.

Wow. OverclockersUK admitted to overselling on their AMD 7900 GPU stock.
So no Radeon 7900 XTX for me this year, because I chose their store and they showed it clearly in stock even during taking payment details, when it wasn't.
@Wyatt Clearly under prepared, and likely their system simply isn't smart enough to know when it's out of stock to stop people buying something like this
either way, it's terrible and means i won't see the GPU this year, so refund requested and won't use them again
I'm going for a full refund on this.
If I'm putting my payment details in, with the item in my basket and you tell me a day later it was over-sold, that's just not something I'm going to support, that's bad business.
