Hmm, finding a vegetarian Indian dish to make for dinner from scratch (which doesn't require a lot of ingredients I don't have and time) is an interesting challenge 🤔

Thus, why Indian restaurants and grocery stores here with takeout counters are appealing, LOL.

ai6yr,

@deewani @dougfir Mmmm... next time I hit the long distance interstates, I know where I am eating. No more lousy hamburgers or gas station hot dogs, or lame pancakes!

** "more Christian-minded government" 🙄

ai6yr,

** That's like describing the Taliban as a "pro-Burka modesty government"

NYTimes: "A Second Dairy Worker Has Contracted Bird Flu, C.D.C. Reports

The new case, in a Michigan farmworker, did not suggest that bird flu was widespread in people, health officials said, adding that the risk to the general public remained low." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/health/h5n1-bird-flu-dairy.html

ai6yr,

** for those playing the CDC drinking game, you can now take a shot for the "the risk to the general public remained low" square!

/sarcasm

ai6yr,

@tiamat271 LOL "isolated case" and "it's mild" should go on the drinking game card, yes. Also "no need to panic"

LOL.. from a friend here, @orv

"Apparently May 20th (5/20) is 5.20 Day.

From another club:
On the 146th day at 5:20pm local time everyone get on 146.520 and see who you can talk to.
146th day of 2024 is May 25th and it's a Saturday!!!"

#hamradio #146520

ai6yr,

@ChampersBE @orv What is typical 2m simplex in IARU Region 1? 146.520 is simplex calling up here.

ai6yr,

@stuartl @orv Interesting that you use different steps there in VK land!!

Still 72,974 customers without power in Houston due to last week's derecho. It appears they are trying to complete restoration by Wednesday (at least, on paper). #Houston #disaster #TXwx https://gisoutagetracker.azurewebsites.net/

ai6yr,

Nice, synthetic aperture radar satellite imaging used for this study! Looks like they're using ICEYE.

ai6yr,

@n1vux I've got the details on how to do this, but haven't yet managed to get it to all work together... Have wanted to run it up against big earthquake or volcano areas, just to have gone through the process.

Realized (now that the coffee has kicked in) I have been walking around with a giant stain on my pants (spilled honey which has accumulated dog and bunny fur, and maybe a bunch of dirt from the hiking trail), LOL.

ai6yr,

@TheSnoopySnoop I blame the lack of coffee for not noticing.

- got some blood drawn (nothing going on here, just had my annual physical and standard tests), and it seems like the blood testing lab is the one little bit of masking sanity around here. 100% masking in there, including both staff and all patients. (which makes a TON of sense, of course -- people in there probably sick or trying to figure out what's wrong with them, etc. etc.).

ai6yr,

@hutterer UCLA's health branch has a testing lab here for their patients. I went in (N95 as usual) expecting no one to be masked but me, so was glad everyone there was smart (you'd assume people who were sick would try not to catch or spread whatever respiratory disease might be going around, but I have heard that is not the case in most places).

Hi folks, I know folks mean well when they post information on news events, but PLEASE vet your sources before reposting dramatic articles/etc. you see. If you're not familiar with the publication, DON'T POST IT. Or check on the source...

For example, I recently saw an article posted from the Daily Caller, which is essentially a channel for white supremacist propaganda, interspersed with other normal news.
