This is an example of the terrifying extreme storms scientists have been expecting

No one at NOAA was looking specifically for Beryl.

A bit late to the party, but the FDA panel is a recommendation body, not the FDA itself. FDA can overrule this, but as I said, that’s a fraught choice.

Fixed the hed. Archive link should be viewable.

Worth noting: this is 90% effective for HSV-1, but not tested on HSV-2. That’s on their radar for research. It’s nonetheless a breakthrough, and the Hutch has pulled off some interesting things in the past, so I’d imagine they’ll get there.

Those plus Florida and Texas. Four most populous states in the country, with New York bringing up the rear.

They don’t sleep for three days.

I would remind you that you are a guest here. People do not come to Beehaw for ad hominems.

As soon as we have this commercialized, fusion is just around the corner.

I’m not an expert in Polish politics, but Tusk is the sort of PM where, yeah. Anything left over from the old regime where there’s still some power left is going to lead directly here.

There’s a lot that needs sorted, and Duda is going to try to fuck things up as much as possible.

This is the sort of deep learning I can see benefiting society, as opposed, to say, summarizing Great Expectations for an essay.

“Dragged by my own petard!”

This was a very accessible read as a nonacademic. Really interesting to read how these technologies work and were developed.

Passive cooling is a much-needed area of study as the planet warms, and it stands to reason further development there could spark additional discoveries on the electrical front.

Bold of you to assume the same person works at the same outlet long enough to run both stories.

Interesting choice to omit “idiolect” as a replacement on any subsequent references to “mental dictionary.”

Sounds like a beertle to me …

Pragmatically, who else is going to take the lead? France?

Main issue here is while this is fine currently, AfD’s rise has taken it to second place behind the CDU/CSU for the next federal election.

For those unfamiliar with German political parties, AfD takes as inspiration the NSDAP. That one, you’ve heard of.

As usual, our Overton window is all that matters to people in the states. There’s some active debate about how much longer centralized media control in all legacy formats will mean the level of control the phrase implies, but until that shifts, Overton is staying put.

That’s pretty much the case with any sort of self-medicating. Good luck getting people to understand that any intervention has zero chance of working if the patient is spat back out into the situation that caused the problematic behaviour without any changes.

Conflating pointless and meaningless is an odd choice. My job, sending invoices, is meaningless but not pointless.

I was a pack-a-day smoker for nearly 20 years, started trying e-cigarettes in 2014, finally found a setup that worked for me in 2016 and landed in the nebulous in-between phase until last year. My ex-wife was a smoker, and then I wanted to relive my wild 20s after the divorce, and then I ended up with smokers for coworkers.

Ultimately, it was a financial call for me. When I could get cartons for $20, the impetus wasn’t there. But $6 per pack started being too much, and I think they’re now $8 for the cheapest that aren’t rolled sawdust. It sucks to pay those prices as a smoker, but every price increase makes that group smaller. I’d like to quit vaping at some point, as well, but at $8 a month, it’s not a high priority.
