Thank you so much, Andy.

One thing remarkable from the video is how high he can lift one leg, put his foot on something, and then effortlessly use it to lift his body. He lifts one leg up to waist height and lifts his body like we might do on a single stair.

and Trump and company are accessories to murder again.

Congratulations! It was so stressful waiting for Rob’s permanent residency when we went through that whole process years ago. He got his citizenship a couple years ago, and it is such a weight off of our minds to have the whole thing done!

I think there's enough toxic chemicals that won't go away it's safe to say they're forever. Could we filter all the toxic chemicals in the air, land, and sea, or even come close? We're as likely to colonize Mars. I've seen the plastic in the Pacific wash up on some beached on Hawaii Island uncontrollably. This is to say nothing of nuclear waste. I'm sorry but we live in a toxic planet and we'll die on it too.

I have been a YouTube Premium subscriber for a few years. It costs me closer to $25 a month. So your $9.99 is more likely a promotional discount price. Best thing about YouTube Premium is that you watch things ad-free (some movies are still ad-supported, but they are few and I usually don't care about them). Also, if watching on a smartphone or a tablet, you can download and watch offline, and programs that you only need to listen and not watch actively, a Premium subscription allows you to keep the program playing while your smartphone or tablet's screen is off or in screen locked mode (e.g., very good for audio books on YouTube). Also, for certain programs that go slow, you can play at faster playback speeds (up to 3x) to save time (or at least not spend too much time on the boring parts).

Speaking of which, You Know Who's car. Mercedes 770K. You can see it at 4:53. Apparently it took him seven tries to get what what he wanted. I'm betting it was worth the wait to him since he didn't pay for any of them. This is a super-impressive car on its merits with an unfortunate history, IMHO. Link to video

I don't know about moving, but my niece is an experienced tech. She's on the south side of Cleveland.

@Bernard said in In Minneapolis: Cool! I love the line of salt buyers. Link to video From the comments: Holy Moly I'm trapped in the house with a FOX News watcher right now and FOX is losing their damn minds over these peaceful protests so they must be effective.

Interesting, thanks

Link to video They say evil is banal but I would add it's amazingly stupid.

Damn, Jon! It’s been that long! It’s incredible, really, and I’m so glad it’s working out for you!

@wtg Good advice. This miserable backwater requires that I call the county - CALL! - before each and every election to request a mail in ballot. We’re doomed.

@Lisa said in Question for SK (and anyone else who'd like to chime in): something he could do after work, from home Maybe he can find an online tutor?

For those who suffered through the shingles vaccine, some good news. Last April I wrote a Ground Truths entitled “The Shingles Vaccine and Reduction of Dementia.” At the time many were unaware of this unanticipated relationship based on 2 large natural experiments. Two new studies this week have advanced our understanding about the potential biological impact of the Shingles vaccine, independent of its effects for preventing Shingles or direct action vs. herpes zoster virus and reinforced its protection from dementia, ~80% of which is attributable to Alzheimer’s disease. In this post I won’t get into the details of what I previously wrote (please link back for more perspective), but instead devote the text to the new findings. https://erictopol.substack.com/p/spotlight-on-the-shingles-vaccineagain?publication_id=587835&post_id=185215801&isFreemail=true&r=1v8sh2&triedRedirect=true Topol's earlier post: https://erictopol.substack.com/p/the-shingles-vaccine-and-reduction
