I am likely misunderstanding something here, but from that study it looks like Coronaviruses are the most sensitive to UV of any virus they found measurements for, however because they also have a much larger genome than most they are only

You two might enjoy this short story: https://www.guernicamag.com/gay_10_1_10/ The term zombie comes from Haiti and there might be a partly medical process involved. Here is a link I found with a quick search (that me

Thanks, a nice read. There are commercial versions of these around in various places; we have one here in Portland, Oregon. I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a very interesting experience.

The main issue for me is that they only work in the url bar not the search bar. For the same reason people are upset about the favicon thing I don't want anything (mis)typed in the urlbar to be sent to a search engine. I've fail
