um, hang on

after detection of COVID-19 via nasal swab, nasal saline irrigation performed every four hours over a 16-hour period decreased COVID-19 viral load by 8.9%. Meanwhile, the viral load in the control group continued to increase during that time.


they were checking the exact location they rinsed? 🤨 I'd like to see the "viral load" measured at a different location (blood test?).

Sometimes I put in an absurdly low bid on an eBay auction with the certainty that I definitely won't get it but also a vanishingly slim hope that MAYBE by some miracle nobody else will bid. Anyway that is how I ended up adding this magnificent glass plate negative to my collection! No date/info.
Sepia toned image of a middle aged white woman in dark garments looking at a very fluffy and grumpy looking tabby cat. The cat is standing at the top of a folding wooden ladder, presumably for the purpose of displaying it for this photo because the woman seems to be gently but firmly holding it in place there.

Supreme Court temporarily restores Texas’ "new" racist congressional map


Texas is back to using its 2025 congressional map, at least temporarily, after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito granted the state’s request to pause a court ruling that would have required using the lines legislators drew in 2021.


Alito Continues To Be A Villain On the Supreme Court This Is ALL ON HIM

The administrative ruling is a first step before the court decides whether to pause the use of the 2025 map, drawn to increase GOP seats in the U.S. House, for the rest of the legal battle.

This is very important to keep control on what runs on your machines, and when you need to debug it, you understand how it works better. All in one feels magically easy but you dont know how it works and you dont truly own it.
