I'm going to share this classic from 2019.

It was created on that other site by a Wall Street Quant, and from what happened since, it looks to be incredibly accurate.

Also, mRNA technology doesn't require growing the flu vaccine in chicken eggs; you can just grow it in a bioreactor. And of course, they could vaccinate all the egg laying hens against bird flu, and not have to destroy millions of them like they do in sane countries.
“This year’s flu vaccine has proved an imperfect match to the currently circulating strains. New shots, based on mRNA technology, would have one day enabled us to avoid this kind of misfire. But the nation’s leaders have imperiled that future with the decisions they made this year.”

I just want to put this out there:

The lifetime "Plex Pass" I bought back in 2012 is the single best software investment I've ever made.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."
We’ve opted for a rewatch of an old fashioned film adaptation of a classic British novel.

(If you haven’t actually seen it, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable movie grounded in what feels like a genuine love for Austen and Zombies.)

If you're looking for some Christmas music, Jane Siberry, Holly Cole, Rebecca Jenkins, Victoria Williams and Mary Margaret O'Hara performed a lovely evening of it in Toronto.

My covid protection habits:

High quality respirator from @flomask.bsky.social

4 billion units of BLIS K12 S. Salivarius last thing at night.

Azelestine nasal spray first thing in the morning.

I have not had a cold or flu, or symptomatic covid since 2020.

Hey @transit.app, the app is giving incorrect directions. The transfer from the Kansas City streetcar to the #50 bus needs to happen at the Plaza stop, not the UMKC one.

I just started watching Ari Melber's report on today's New York Times story about Epstein and Trump, and remember thinking as it started playing, "He needs to have Julie K Brown on!"

…and my wish came true!

Did you know there is a particularly nasty strain of flu out there, that does not match the vaccine that a handful of us received several months back?

Yeah, I'm going to keep masking.

Listening to @twit.tv This Week in Tech and @iainthomson.bsky.social told me something that I had not known…the Australian gun restrictions were effective. The Bondi Beach murderers could only get a shotgun and a non semi-automatic rifle. Which is how hero Ahmed al-Ahmed successfully disarmed one.

Hey @padresj.bsky.social, am I right to be concerned about this security warning that LastPass gave me about a bank app? I'm on Android, and I suspect that is is a Progressive Web App rather than native. Is this vulnerable to a man in the middle attack? How freaked out should I be?

Thanks!

I upgraded to a new phone, and when I tried to save the password for my bank app (I suspect it's actually a progressive web app) LastPass gave me this warning. Is this vulnerable to a man in the middle attack @padresj.bsky.social ?

Yet another astounding podcast from the Rialto Report.

I was blown away at the 30 minute mark, when it turned out that she had been nanny to the sons of one of my favorite musicians, Todd Rundgren and worked on one of my all-time favorite tours BEFORE adult film!

I'd like to make a case for Happy Rhodes. She has a genuine 4 octave range, sounding like a duet between Kate Bush and David Bowie. My late wife was her biggest fan, and when we found she had cancer, her wish was for Happy to play a concert. She did.

Just wasted an entire day waiting for a delivery from UPS. I despise this company! If you're going to ship my product with them, why not just feed it into a wood chipper instead?

The most valuable thing my late wife added to her car was front and rear cameras.

Somebody sideswiped us in a McDonald's parking lot, and tried to claim it was our fault.

I'm a huge fan of my @flomask.bsky.social respirator, which I've modified with a @sipmask.bsky.social port so I can have a drink while I'm out seeing live music.

A friend survived covid, and he's having new symptoms. It doesn't appear to be POTS because it's not related to posture, but he can be lying down, get brain fog, skin flush and excessive salivation. Also, weakness and confusion afterwards.

Any suggestions? His doctors are lost.

Getting caught up on @twit.tv "Macbreak Weekly" episodes. And as always, Andy @ihnatko.bsky.social delivers the Boomer culture deep cuts.

Where else are you going to hear a Euell Gibbons "Ever eat a pine tree?" reference?
