We transitioned from doing live nuclear warhead tests to testing using computer simulations. We should do the same with viruses. I'm not sure if we can simulate such complex molecules yet.

I've got a Punkt MP01. I love it. I charge it every two weeks. It's durable. And it works. There is a problem with it not working with group SMS. The MP02(current version) fixes this I think.

It seems to me that the estimates of how frequent a given impact happens are off. An impact by a iron meteorite 200' in diameter at a speed of 20k MPH and 90 degree angle does not happens on average every 454 years. When was the last t
