They are already up to the Lambda variant, so it might not even be a year. Reportedly they are considering using Constellation names next. Ready for the Andromeda Strain?

The T-Mobile Data Breach Is One You Can’t Ignore I just signed up with them, and now I get to regret it.

Yesterday I was thinking the one good thing to come out of this is that we wouldn't need to keep paying off Pakistan. We've wasted enough money on that region for very little payoff. Better to focus on India.

I think the medical community still needs to better clarify what is meant by "effectiveness". There's effectiveness against infection and effectiveness against hospitalization. The (Russian-supported) anti-vaxxers tend to focus on the former. But the latter is what keeps your ICU beds from running out and leaving unhospitalized people dying at home.

Boeing Starliner launch delayed again as it returns to the factory for troubleshooting Or as I've started to refer to it, the "Stargrounder". A high tech paperweight.

This outcome will probably embolden the terrorist factions, so additional actions will be likely in the region.

Unless you're a major power, outlasting the US is often the only viable strategy remaining.

'Likes' and 'shares' teach people to express more outrage online Does it make sense then to have a like button? Maybe it needs to be more nuanced?

Or power period. About all you can (mostly) trust is shared interests.

Perhaps, but then it is a comment on existing data rather than speculative.

Is that because you get better wine?

Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Expanded Monoclonal Antibody Access in Florida with New Monoclonal Antibody Centers Apparently the governor had no choice but to perform medical experiments on Floridians. I wonder who will be the control?

Chips off the old block.

It seems like every time the US gets involved in an extended war, mission creep becomes inevitable. We tried to do too much here as well, investing ourselves in the nation's women's issues, for example. I don't agree though that the money was completely wasted. With time, perhaps they will come around just like Vietnam did. We're almost certainly leaving the country in a better condition than we found it. If things fall apart, that's on the Taliban.

That would have been more of a true to sci-fi ending, I'd say. Leave the audience with something to think about.

U.S. government sends hundreds of ventilators to Florida as Covid surge continues Will Governor DoomSantis ban these, I wonder? That wouldn't seem logical, but you can never underestimate Trumps' Cult of Stupidity.

That, and it was the Krippin Virus, not a vaccine. Idjits.

In terms of competitiveness, I typically see the MLS ranked around 20st/21nd. For average attendance, they have reached 8th in the world. At least as of 2019. Positionally, I think they are still in the first generation of academy players. Some good players have emerged, but no superstars yet.

The (huge) drawback of that "tactical sophistication" is that very little actual game time is spent in live action. The American football coaching staff typically gets half a minute to plan a few seconds of action. The net result is that the game lasts for three hours while only 18 minutes are spent in actual play. Fans are paying big money to sit on their hands while players just stand around. For this reason I no longer watch American Football very much because the majority of the time is spent showing replays and ads. Its boring. Soccer, on the other hand, is usually much more active. There are tactical subtleties to the game, but you have to follow it for a while to notice them.
