I lost an uncle to it, shortly before the antiretrovirals arrived to give people some hope. Back then bay area papers were still full of obituaries of its victims and until AZT there just wasnāt anything that could be done.

While the holy grail with HIV will always be a cure for those already infected, this new means of *preventing* infection is really huge news and great. Science works.

The Biden admin apparently tried to nix the idea, but with dire need now for pilots and systems ready I think weāll see this shift.

I think we might see Ukrainian F-16s being flown by more than just Ukrainian pilots now that the aircraft and accompanying weapons systems are arriving. Ukrainian air force earlier set rules to allow for this.

I'd like to think that she'd be running her own institute, having gathered smart thinkers into some sort of useful entity. A respected voice of reason, the sort of people wanted on every guiding body.

EVs will end up winning in the end for lots of solid reasons, and Tesla couldāve - without Musk - ridden that wave indefinitely. But heās become so much of a liability itās hard to not Imagine doom in Teslaās future.

Electrician showed me the scorched part of a failed and ancient power outlet in this rental house he just pulled from the wall and now I am feeling grateful to have survived the last few months in this place. Your outlets arenāt supposed to spark and smoke, just FYI.

Tbh, for me, seeing Worf again plus the whole Raffi/Seven of Nine romance makes Picardās shortcomings as a Trek story entirely bearable. Itās not perfect but I liked it.

I have a young trans nephew and frankly watching my family enthusiastically accept and make space for him has been wonderfully affirming. It's possible for people to just be and for everything to be just fine.

My favorite word in the Constitution is from the preamble: itās the āmoreā in āmore perfect union.ā The framers knew full well that things could always be made better, improved upon. That certainty was central to the experiment weāre all still living in and trying to improve.

I use a Coho and 100% love it. Single-wheel trailer = far more maneuverable, predictable than a 2x. Super easy handling, massive cargo capacity.

I, too, would like to see President Biden demonstrate his continuing ability to act as President. So I want to see him grasp a piece of paper someone hands him, read the paperās contents, and then explain what heās just read along with some context. Because that - and not debate - is the job.

I often wish that Apple had retained more of its early hardware hacker ethos. Imagine an Apple Watch with exposed GPIO contacts and a friendly API for apps to access them. Or an iPhone with the same for interfacing sensors. Theyād be great platforms for cool gadgets and projects.

Walked a new bit of trail today with amazing views of the front range. Prairie dogs, a buzzard, hawks, big stands of mullein and tall prairie grass. This place I live in does not suck.
