What are the most likely scenarios? 1) The Covid virus ended up in the Wuhan wet market from an animal for sale there, brought with the virus from the wild and got introduced into a human. Sure, that’s possible, but why there, and why at th

What am I disproving? A Covid virus could have been in the wild, not yet transmitted to humans, and was then collected and brought to the lab. Only once it was accidentally released from the lab, (possibly having infected one of the workers

Why can’t they simply have that virus in the lab, collected from that wild population in Laos, and it was accidentally released? Still a lab leak. Just an accident.

Sure, collected in the wild. Probably from a bat in some remote part of the world.

Ok, I’ve always expected that a natural virus was accidentally released by a scientist from the virus lab. Not necessarily gain of function, but simply this is the place where all the weird Covid viruses are brought to when gathered from ac

Weed? Kids who smoke weed are more likely to have friends who smoke weed. Weed triggers mental disorders. Did they control for that?

Are there just not enough teeth in these laws? Shouldn’t the executives be going to jail instead of an easily ignored fine? And shouldn’t their jail cell be next to a Patriot Battery on Taiwan, so they start to take their actions on geopoli

Is that peak for a normal day, or for Thanksgiving weekend?

by jmpman 2y ago
That’s one of the problems. The land is barely used. The infrastructure to charge the vehicles at peak, would be unused for the majority of time.

The footprint to charge all these electric vehicles would be equal to the parking lot for the mall of America. Much larger than a single gas station.

This is a common misconception about EVs. The stated range is for the EPA range, not on open roads at 80MPH (typical speeds on I-10 between Phoenix and LA). Even Tesla’s longest range Model, a Model S, with a 405 mile “range” needs to charg

Neither Phoenix or LA are cities where the average person would be happy without a car. Sure you could take a train and rent a car at your destination, but that’s adding many hundreds of dollars to a week at the beach.

I have a long range Model 3, I can assure you that you cannot drive from Phoenix to LA, charging just once. According to the Tesla trip planner, it’s two stops. One in Quartzsite and the second in Indio. When I do the drive, it’s typically

by jmpman 2y ago
My concern is the number of charger stations required between LA and Phoenix in the remote sections of I-10. Replacing all the cars with EVs that need to charge at a minimum of twice and you need two parking garages the size of the mall of

When I went to college, I stayed in a dorm that was built in 1930. The classrooms I was taught in were built in the 1960s. They were all built on state land, and paid for before I started in the late 90s. The teachers were paid a modest sal

Wow. I believe I took ketaconazol orally to treat my tinea versicolor. Have had tinnitus, but never connected the two. BTW, there is a new treatment for tinnitus, which may help. It’s an electric device that provides feedback on your tongue

Disappointed. I’d planned to download the model, and build a system powerful enough to run it locally.

I learned about Mounjaro from TikTok, and have lost 70lbs. Likely prevented many serious health issues.

Was this the person in HR, who, when the good hearted Wells Fargo’s employees reported the ethical violation, had them terminated? I don’t understand why everyone in their HR department wasn’t immediately terminated and thrown into prison,

Hickman is a politician. I don’t think prisoners should be competing in the free labor market, and especially not for companies run by politicians.

Sticker price, Corolla SE, with tax, title, and registration is around $27k. Maybe it can be negotiated down.

by jmpman 2y ago
Must be nice to be a US autoworker. Almost no US industry gets similar protections. Certainly my job isn’t protected in the same way. And yet, a base Corolla runs more than $27k out the door, and I have no choice but to buy these over price

The Intel AZ fab in Chandler typically has the best yields out of all Intel fabs. TSMC likely thought they were tapping into that labor market when building in Phoenix. However they built on the other side of the metropolitan area. It’s an

The frequencies I’m using are very specific to the subject I’m filming. It’s closer to a machine vision problem, and it isolates the desired object almost perfectly from the background. I’ve considered filing for a patent, it works that wel

He said Big Mac Meal. Where I live, outside of California, it’s $10.49 for a medium, and $10.99 for a large according to the McDonalds app.

Different frequency.

I’ve been doing something similar using “cheap” Chinese band notch filters. Had no idea about this Disney process. Also using this for AI training purposes. It’s amazing what you can buy on Alibaba, fully custom frequencies.

I’m glad you responded. I’ve been reading their articles for years, and the takeaway is always - all sprawl is bad, we must consolidate on row houses or other higher density designs to reduce the cost per linear foot of road to service thes
