For Omicron, with an incubation period of three days, one should expect negatives to turn positive with a transatlantic flight. Google suggests that it takes 10-12 hr to fly from NYC to Israel. That's a long time with a fast virus. (Ev

Seems like such a restriction could be subverted with an expensive sublease and a contract to sell at the first-available date. Where there's a desire, there's usually an arbitrage...

I don't need these (we already have coasters we like), but they're really cool. The AD7746 has had enough of an influence on my life that, well, a big one as a coaster/paperweight would be a perpetual source of smiles.

Mountains. Be outside, wherever you are. If you're a sensation-chaser, spend time on rivers or on skis. Give a few new hobbies a try; it is okay to be a complete beginner at stuff. Learning is fun.

It is essential to ask around for recommendations -- there are some great lawyers out there. When you need a good one, you may find yourself suddenly-surprised and grateful to be paying their (substantial) hourly rate.

It seems to be an unfortunate property of nature that some of the most-useful chemical and physical systems are also some of the least-friendly. NaOH, in large quantities, is an unforgiving material. As I've read my way into carbon-cap
