More than 50% of first round draft picks prove to be busts: https://theriotreport.com/more-than-50-of-first-round-picks-are-busts-and-other-terrifying-draft-statistics/ Ironically, the team that has received the most return on draft capitol (2010-2019) is Seattle: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2020/nfl-drafting-efficiency-2010-2019 At least under Carroll/Schneider, this is team is known for trading down for more picks. Perhaps the optimal approach then is to go for volume rather than ranking?

The novel is intended as an allegory rather than a commentary on social status. But I suppose we all have agendas.

Ever heard of a power inverter? Yeah, they exist. I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

The doors will be locked as he flies past.

Let me shine a (flash)light on your perspective...

The school was founded by an anti-vaxxer, so... consistent. Funny thing about anti-vaxxers -- you probably get a lot worse injected into your body just from the bug bites. But that's "natural" so it's okay.

With energy storage you don't need constant energy production from wind turbines, just like you don't need it from solar cells. There are many practical ways of storing large amounts of energy.

True dat

Even with an expanding cloud of aerosols, I have to think that the inverse square law still holds at low quantities -- you're going to get four times as much exposure at one meter as you do at two. Granted if an enclosed saturated with viral aerosols then distance isn't going to matter. But that's why ventilation is also important.

The Brain ‘Rotates’ Memories to Save Them From New Sensations Turns out parts of the brain are operating on a whole other level, at the same time. Fascinating really.

It probably didn't hurt that their President is such an intolerant autocrat. It's not like our relations are going to improve any time soon.

Right now we have antiviral drugs for treating more extreme influenza cases. What I suspect the medical community will do over time is develop treatments that make most hospitalizations unnecessary. That will reduce if not eliminate the need for the more extreme quarantine measures we've been employing. We'll just get better at treating it.

The odd part of the last link is how it completely ignores the factor of viral load. You're more likely to get a severe case if you inhale 100 aerosol droplets than if you just inhale one.

I can kind of see LeVar Burton being kept in that role, unlike the other guests.
