I guess desert folks are not the only ones who are wired funny. I am not one of them though - John laughs at me for being "an orchid" because I have to exist in a narrow temperature band with controlled lighting and watering conditions.

John starts wearing shorts the minute it hits 0. As far as he's concerned it's been shorts weather for a week.

Desert rats are just wired different, I guess.

Interested in low-dose Rapamycin for Long Covid? The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness is actively recruiting for a RCT of the mTOR inhibitor Sirolimus (Rapamycin). The trial aims to evaluate if changes to the immune response as a result of the drug improve Long Covid symptoms.

I mean, if he is gonna throw stupid fake tropes to get a rise, he's just gonna get it back again. I guess he can dish it out but he can't take it, in the language of our childhood.

It will be a great day in Halifax when the schools have all the money they need and the police have to hold a bake sale to buy an armored car.

My personal feeling is that he's not alive to benefit from it, and for me personally that would change the calculus somewhat, but YMMV.

A blonde white woman in a pink sweatshirt, shorts & white sneakers sits poised on a gray couch, hands folded in her lap.  Six black bears behind the couch brace their front paws on the couch back & face the camera.

Epstein files fallout takes down elite figures in Europe, while U.S. reckoning is muted Unlike in Europe, officials in the U.S. with ties to Epstein have largely held their positions of power.

...aside from those five folks, there are some leading academics who people are now looking askance at, but AFAIK aren't having their tenure revoked or anything.
