You can just ask for vaccines at the pharmacy. I got a potentially missed childhood vaccination as an adult and they asked a few questions about why I wanted it, but were happy to give it to me. If it’s something odd you might need to go to a travel clinic.

Like the Jones act but for gloves

I think they were citing the first human case of rabies transmitted by a bat, not the first case of rabies recorded in bats.

I have a Google doc shared with close friends and family that I keep updated with info in case I’m seriously injured or dead. It doesn’t have passwords or anything harmful to leak, just things like what banks I use, contact info for various friend communities and my job, and an (unofficial) medical directive.

It’s free, took me very little time to set up, and in case of an accident should give people enough leads to make their lives easier.

The need is there, but I would absolutely not trust a subscription startup with “ai” in the url to handle this kind of info.

One of the characteristics bee breeders look for is hygiene- more hygienic bees will remove more of their own mites. It’s not entirely dependent on the type of bee.

Well, I’ve only got 10 fingers, so looks like my time there would be limited to 900 days.

Stoked to see this site! I agree with others that a map-based search would be neat, to find local coops.

One link correction: 1620 worker is https://www.1620usa.com/ not 1620workwear.com

A static site is much less vulnerable to security issues.

Sounds like someone had an internal “team bonding” hackathon

Now may be the right time to HAVE a union, but the time to unionize was when engineers had more power. That same soft job market means we have much less leverage to unionize than we used to.

Thank you for this comment. I paid a little extra to get a helmet with mips but didn’t even think about my (long) hair serving the same function.

Active shooter, chemical spill, any kind of building emergency like water stoppages.

And then if it wasn’t tightly controlled and carefully managed, probably things like social events with free snacks, company all hands announcements, and single cars blocking someone into a parking spot.

I see the usefulness of more fine-grained subscription, but also see the abuse potential from giving more people access.

> My understanding is that the ticks only transmit disease after they have been attached long enough to become engorged. None of the ticks shown were engorged.

I’ve hear stats as long as 24 hours and as short as 30 seconds. One nurse told me that removing ticks by grasping and pulling means they transmit immediately, because you squeeze their contents through their mouths. I no longer believe any of the stats; seems like it could be at any time.

Your baseline capacity is always lower than it would be with experienced, fully trained, happy engineers. It seems normal because the system doesn’t support anything better.

The burning man org has kind of famously used a non-Ticketmaster vendor every year, and it’s almost always a shitshow.

Secretparty.io is another ticket vendor that has a great user experience. Easy transfers, handles large spikes in traffic, etc.

Ticketmaster just has a really solid moat, it’s not that alternatives don’t exist.

I don’t doubt what you’ve seen, and how some farmers are doing no-till.

However, there are better ways to do no-till that don’t require large herbicide input. No-till is really good for reducing the amount of water needed to farm and preserving soil structure, which is beneficial for all kinds of reasons. It’s not inherently a bad thing.

Hence the theory that they did know, but chose to let it happen in order to justify the following escalation

I visited on mobile and didn’t get the captcha other folks are talking about, just a useful article. Interesting.
