I am seeing a lot of hubbub over a third case of in a human in the US.

Just to be clear: Right now, in our "lowest" point of in almost a year, 278 Americans are being infected EVERY MINUTE. Ten percent or more will go on to suffer months or years of Long COVID symptoms. Some will have damaged brains, hearts, and other organs.

We shouldn't lose focus on the immediate and real risks we face of COVID.

Hmm, 35C and dewpoint of 33C at the METAR for Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (VEPT), Bihar, India. I don't think in Celsius, but I am thinking that is uncomfortable at best, likely heat illness or death at worst. (assuming no A/C).

ps.
For LINUX:
apt install metar
metar -D VEPT

Burning down a refugee camp is not a tragic mishap, especially if you first burned down the refugees original homes, their hospitals, their water pumps and treatment plants, and their fields. No, it is not a mishap. It is an intentional act of violence against people who have lost everything.

Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform

Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net

#Iceshrimp are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node #misskey / #firefish fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.

Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the *key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.

What lang/stack isn't represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?

"they curtly informed my sister and me that our names weren't on the voter list so we couldn't cast our votes.
We insisted this couldn't be right since we had double-checked the Election Commission of India (ECI) website... After adamantly demanding to see the voter lists ourselves, they begrudgingly showed us one, seemingly concealing the other... we didn't back down and persisted until they finally revealed the second list. Our names were right there"

What is your dream road trip? Where would you start? Where would you end up? What stops would you make along the way? It can be short or long, whatever interests you!

melanie,
@melanie@bv.umbrellix.org avatar

@RickiTarr Not really a dream road trip, but a template I think would be interesting: The patch of dust described thus: all of Cascadia all the way inland to the BC-Alberta border/Intermountain West, with the eastern extent being extended into the US using the mountain range that bounds BC to the East, from 54° 40min N to the southern extent of Oregon (line extended east as required). Within that, stopping at every settled place with a population over 100. Unless it’s over 5000, I won’t be stopping for any longer than to take a self-portrait, unless that’s where the campsite nearest the 5k town is.

Start point: I already live in the start point town, which is Prince George, BC, just under 54° North and 122° West.
