Fake award saying "Certificate is Achievement Awarded to THE UNVACCINATED For Surviving the Greatest Psychological Fear Campaign in Human History"

I know that many antivaxxers can maintain blissful ignorance re the effects of vaccine-preventable diseases & think they're safe. But the group I will never get are those personally affected & then become AV. Friend of a relative lost 48 yo mom to COVID & now refuses vax for her baby, posting this.

French chemist Henri Moissan (1852-1907) using a Moissan-Chaplet electric arc furnace in his attempt to synthesize diamonds. He wears a chapeau similar to a chef's, and a leather apron, but no eye protection which makes me really nervous.

The first synthetic diamonds were *likely* produced by Henri Moissan, who later won 1906 Nobel for isolating elemental fluorine.

Moissan had a carbon crucible with an electric arc heater that could reach 4100 °C. A plunge in cold water compressed the inner carbon to form diamonds.

Lightweight Nerd is flying away in a windy weather. He unleashes his muscles, and it keeps him on the ground. Tiger is happy that it's raining Nerds.

Fishermen left feeling 'betrayed' by Brexit 'Brexit was sold to our fishermen as a golden opportunity, yet the truth is that many fishermen have experienced the complete opposite'

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition...

Focused Protection From the Great Barrington Declaration Never Made Sense Why Focused Protection was never a real strategy for reducing the impact of Covid-19

Given Jay Bhattacharya is in the news, a good reminder that the Great Barrington Declaration was scientifically bereft and in some ways the most impactful piece of pseudoscience during the pandemic.

Today's word/Science in a minute topic:

Liquefaction.

Liquefaction takes place when loosely packed, water-logged sediments at or near the ground surface lose their strength in response to strong ground shaking.

Tiger thinks she is getting chubby, but Nerd reassures her that there's just more to love.

There is a metaphor here somewhere

Sure. Long Covid is in your head.

And in your blood vessels, and in your muscles, and in your nerves, and in your guts, and in your immune system, and in your...

Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Does everyone remember the condom on a banana approach sex ed in the 90s? And the fact that condoms were free in many public places?

We need to do the same for respirators. An aggressive & information campaign explaining WHY they work, HOW to choose & don one and provide them free in public spaces.

Everything "That Friend" Wants You to Know About H5N1 Bird Flu An article with ongoing updates.

Growing evidence of respiratory spread among humans, yet, health officials insist there is no evidence, refusing to talk about mitigation measures like N95 masks and clean air technologies, steps that should already be in place against existing diseases.

Individuals don't usually have the spare cash for this, so HA's, local authority etc need to pick up the slack :-)

I work for a housing association that's looking at putting these on as many roofs as possible within budget and puts solar on all new builds
2019 we were looking at putting solar on every available roof space but the storage capacity wasn't there, nor was the billing info available, working on it

More money and more electric
Tbh we need to be putting solar on more roofs and finding better battery storage or putting water tanks back in that act as heat storage

True but its the cost to buy them, plus as well you've then got to deal with the mould and damp that builds up

Queen walks to Nerd, declaring to be his girlfriend. Gang is surprised of this reveal, pissed Tiger takes Nerd away from Queen, Queen corrects that she will be his girlfriend in the future. Servant explains who Queen is.

Queen explains how Nerd is the best candidate as her boyfriend based on physical and test data. She has picked him to be his partner. Jock asks why he doesn't have girls lining up for him, Olga states that she takes care of the competition.

Tiger is grumpy. Nerd comes and gives her a hug. Negative energy leaves her body instantly.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

BREAKING: Downing Street has said the government would fulfill its legal obligations in relation to the ICC after they issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu

Nerd and Tiger are sitting on a bench. Nerd gives Tiger a kiss on a cheek, it makes Tiger jump away from joy. She jumps back and returns the cheek-kiss.
