supposedly #mastodon is about choice and freedom and so forth

me personally, my choice is that I want to block any one whose avatar is animated , eg
vis.social/@pantasy@pantsfree.

of course, people with animated avatars are free to make fun of me, or block me, or both

@Namnezia
I actually know this
:)
eg cold is not a problem if freezing is prevented, say thru use of trehalose or something like that

but since it doesn't say how is one to know
also the recommended storage temp requires use of AC or other $$ first world things

@enirenberg

that is what I was trying to get to with "nobel level"
if 5 Nobel prize winners hold a press conf, it is hard for the press to ignore it
at least for the first few weeks; after 15 or 20 weeks, maybe

@cyrilpedia

my son is an assistant district attorney in a large city
and he says, it is astonishing how many suspects fall for the most obvious lies of the police, like the old "I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened"

@enirenberg

In late 2020, I said that the US/Euro MD/PhD community had failed utterly in comms by not holding a weekly presser, where 10 Nobel level scientists would update the press

I stand by that

@enirenberg

The early Beckmann sequencer had a paper tape, about 6 inches wide, and you punched holes in it and the tape controlled the sequencer just like a player piano

needs to be stored close to "room temp"

so what about shipping: if it arrives here in Boston in teh winter and sits on my doorstep for 4 hours at -10oF, is it ok ?

@leyla_asadi
Is there a description of how the test works, like a scientific paper
I don't need the primers or the LAMP enzymes, but more details then the website which just says LAMP, which I know about

@Poppi62
supposedly, Szilard invented the chemostat because he was to impatient (or lazy) to dilute an E coli overnight 1:100 and wait till it reached log phase

@wendysiegelman

A bit surprised you don't mention that this fine is a drop in the bucket for the TO
however, the conviction may make it difficult for TO to do biz with other companies

@uspolitics
While Mr Perez, who doesn't appear to be a healthcare policy expert, thinks medicare advantage plans are evil, others, who are experts disagree

iirc, KFF thinks the plans are better for some people, worse for others

@Yogi49948

sorry this tweet was very imprecise
yes there were a lot of stories that mentioned issues with the returns
but these issue were, afaik, relatively minor - NOT , say, things that point to felony crimminal violations
given how complex our tax code is, and how complex Trump's returns are, it is almsot certain there are a lot of debatable points in the returns that fall in some grey area

@Teri_Kanefield

I don't know how many people work for the Manhattan DA, but this suggests that this was a lot of work for the DA's office, and not something they can do on a routine basis

Indeed, it sounds like the 1.6 million in fines might not even cover what it cost the people to prosecute this case

@ClimateHuman

what precisely does emergency mean
does it mean you no longer take a vacation that involves travel ?
