Pathfinder

Do we know where this image was taken, and when? It is not really uncommon to see icebergs calved from glaciers near shore. I think the second image shows a larger iceberg than the first one. The first image is an interesting photo, but I have …

Great video @Chris At LEAST 20% of the masks I see being "worn" are not covering either the nose, or the mouth, or both. I see some masks covering only a person's beard on their chin, frequently the nares are not covered, and sometimes the mask …

Maybe the Ozzies here on Cake can find more on this story - if I understand this story correctly, apparently a vaccine from University of Queensland can seem to cause some individuals to exhibit a false positive result to HIV testing. They seem to …

This paragraph from the link above, I found rather startling - 38% higher CO2 atmospheric release to build an electric car, than building a traditional ICE car. "Manufacturing any car, electric or otherwise, causes carbon emissions, be it from the …

There are some great videos on the use of PhotoPills for photographing the night sky Here is on on the upcoming Geminid meteor shower https://youtu.be/Vw9z1eSXFds

Then why are the numbers in St Pierre Miquelon almost 8 times higher than Canada? And what is it about Central America? As I look at that table, maybe there was only one murder in St Pierre Miquelon in 2009, but in the small population of the …

I've been aware of them, as I live in Terre Haute, and drive by the Federal Prison complex frequently on the way into town. The Terre Haute Prison complex contains the federal execution facility. I was perusing the New York Times Corona Virus maps …

Jupiter and Saturn have been pretty close ever since late November, with Mars about 90º to the east - I've been watching them when the skies permitted, anticipating this conjunction in late December. In Indiana, they are above the horizon …

Maybe.....

Actually, as I read that link, you joined a study to inject about a 1,000 people with EITHER the JnJ vaccine OR a placebo, as part of a phase III trial, but you don't get to know which you got, I suspect. If you feel sick, febrile or viremic, the …

The UK and Bahrain have both given emergency approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. I see that @JazliAziz has a link that Malaysia has plans to begin using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, as well, although it did not state there is official …

Wow, what horribible stories. I am so sorry, @Chris I just cannot conceive how folks would take those kinds of risks with their families. Maybe it is because I have a lot a friends and family members who are either physicians or nurses or medical …

Yes, I had the exact same feeling Denise - everyone seems to have 118.5 million folks in front of them, no matter their obvious age or sex differences. My wife came up with the same results. The questionaire was not terribly precise in their …

When I was living in Palo Alto, I always thought most Californian's daily home-> work-> home commute was vastly longer than most Hoosiers I knew. But I also do know, now, several folks locally in my community, here in Indiana, who routinely …

I have 118 million in front of me too, or about 46,600 in my local county, so wish me good luck. I saw somewhere on the web that it should be obvious that you can run into an empty liquor store and be back out with a bottle in under 10 minutes …

Think exponential death rate growth, not linear..... Unfortunately, the models are fully expecting exponential increases in the death rate. Your link says the deaths from Covid since last January have averaged about 935 per day - but that average …

We lost 416,800 ( military) -> 418,500 ( civilian + military ) casualties in WWII..... which is lower than the 422,000 prediction from the CDC director, Dr Robert Redfield for the current pandemic's first year. Of course the deaths in WWII …

@Chris - I was amazed by the article in Car and Driver which purports that Hoosiers drive almost 3,000 more miles a year than Californians and even a 1,000 more a years than …

Absolutely, my wife and I will be vaccinated as soon as it is available to mere citizens. I think it ought to be offered at work, in the mall, at drug stores, where ever people are. But what we will probably see happen is herding folks up into …

An interesting concept, but in the very beginning of the video it states that the average city vehicle travels only 20Km per day - maybe in large European urban centers, but 20 Km is just 12.4 miles. For only 12 miles a day, a bicycle would work …

If you had the opportunity to choose between whether you got the shingles, OR you received your two Shingrix vaccinations shots, I'll bet you would have chosen the two shot vaccine series - I KNOW, if I had had the choice, that's what I would have …

That information is not necessarily public information I suspect, and may not be the same in all vaccines. There has been some discussion of varying doses of antigen in the AstraZeneca Oxford vacccine - because some of the first injections were a …

I am posting this video which I first found in 2014 - We Are All Wanderers Now - narrated by Carl Sagan. It just seems to belong here - If you can, watch it on a very big screen too https://vimeo.com/108650530

You may very well be correct - but I am hoping for sooner. 🤞 This pandemic needs to hit a wall. It looks like the federal plan is that initial doses will be for health care workers, and first responders, but also for folks over 65+ and in high …

I found that link blocked by a subscription door. As a Hoosier, I notice Indiana is at the bottom of that list of bad apples in your graphic. As risky as Thanksgiving is going to be, I think Christmas may take that risk and double or triple it - …
