False. Surgeon General said stop BUYING masks (original tweet) https://mobile.twitter.com/Sur...

And the context was 100% clearly in relation to hording & supply problems for the US healthcare system. USSG said 1) stop hording, 2) stay home, 3) wash hands, 4) get a damn flu shot. You're a dupe, if you think otherwise.

Right. What I am baffled by, is that folks post 300+ comments quibbling over how much this one drug is/not effective, yet not one poster thinks to point out that 90 national health systems are still currently trialing this very week (and that none of the four drug approaches are yet clearly worth using vs. any other):

The patient gives consent to study, hospital tells WHO which of 4x drugs they have on hand, then WHO instructs which one to give patient. It's not perfect, it's NOT double-blind, but the whole world is trying this week to collect SOME data & trying to save lives while you all argue without researching.

Link the source(s) on those quantities if you're not just posting shit.

I'm aware of NO credible research with evidence of even a single SARS-CoV-2 mutation that means anything beyond usefulness for epidemiological tracing. Closest I've heard to cross-strain protection is Covid-19 recovery might not protect against SARS "Classic", but SARS recovery *may provide partial* protection from SARS-CoV-2 for at least two years. https://www.nature.com/article...

So where does your specific "modified glycoprotein strains" re-infection info come from? These are still *very* early days yet, for detailed reliable data to be available; but garbage rumors are fast & easy to type up.

Yeah. So it looks like the Smithsonian has purchased some of the same cheap/stationary robot greeters that have stood outside every train-station restaurant in Japan for a few years now.

Similar mix of yes/no, but my yes *is* a primary system.

Firefox Nightly is my daily-driver browser on Android with 57.0a1 as my primary mobile browser for nearly 3 months now (I'm now on 58.0a1). FF Nightly seems to be the only way to get a feature-rich open browser with automatic updates if your device does not have Google Play app installed.

Nightly and 57/58 is definitely an upgrade over the previous mobile Firefox. Works great with uBlock Origin & Video Background Play Fix add-ons, which is about everything needed on mobile. As for no - I've not bothered to update Firefox on any workstation I use, home or office (or at least haven't noticed or cared what version is running). Chrome or Chromium is primary on all workstation, except for one daily Debian system with a little-used Firefox browser.

Did you not read your own post? Those substances are demonstrably not dangerous to people.

median lethal dose of 4,500mg/kg? So essentially not toxic. Down at 370mg/kg is where noticeable effects even start: So if you weigh only 90lb and eat an apple smothered with half an ounce of Pyrethrum you still have a 50% chance of surviving. There is a lot of shit, which if you ate a half ounce smothered onto a 3 to 3.5oz apple would kill you.

math isn't even needed, to see how wrong this part of your post was

for consideration dicamba, the inorganic pesticide is 757mg/kg LD50 in rats

At the point I assume any further nuance, like comparatively greater importance of acute toxicity vs lethal dose for the case of pesticide consumption, is just beyond you

Agreed. All that the outlets I've read have let slip was: 1) there was a whisleblower, that got ignored, 2) all the numbers we've heard: 4% of aluminum sheets & rods, 200 buyers of iron powder, ongoing for up to 10 years, etc.

But what was the whisleblower's observation? Is reporting on that kind of detail just beyond the capacities of English language outlets?

My only guess is products which failed internal testing were by some process packed with good product/labeled as passing, the whisleblower had access to those internal tests but probably company's unclear on who misbehaved. Without internal failed test records, how else would they know "it was 4% of sales"?

Apparently anyone who does not remember "2008", when Google cars first started routinely collecting 3D laser range and imaging via SICK laser scanners.

And to make matters worse, there's already a Non-VR Bridge Simulator that is more fun &, less expensive http://store.steampowered.com/...

... that already has 3rd parties touring USA offering expensive, parlor-style setups. http://www.gamingnomads.com/

[Emphasis mine] - this is not a replacement for the hundred million trucks we see hauling goods world-wide.

Electric (and LNG, etc.) is already a proven applications for urban, stop & go style, short-haul trucking. (Not that Phase2: More Customers, is a bad thing...)

Oh sure, they've never sold "individual" customer data, but Verizon & others continue to sell *aggregate* info: you know, because there's not an entire discipline focused on deanonymizing datasets.

At least now Verizon has paid a fine & agreed to make sure that they, first, *dupe* their customers into agreeing to Supercookie injection & tracking.

Discouraging developers is unfortunate. But Mozilla does not win by freezing old code in place/ensuring 15 years of old tweaks apply to current browser model. What's an old-guard dev to do? They can't move to Chrome.. as you stated it has even less capability.

Fortunately, FF is open source so another browser can resurrect whatever capabilities Mozilla discards. Honestly I think they should shrink dramatically smaller than 9050 employees, light additional fires to further develop & modularize their core technologies. I do use Chromium mostly on the desktop but mobile-Firefox is my go-to, everyday, browser of choice on Android. It is capable, and i'm honestly more curious to see what benefits come from changing APIs then I care what happens to obscure addons like "OmniSidebar".
