"It ain't over till it is over - SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly mutating and recombining, and more variants and subvariants—potentially more pathogenic—are on the horizon. The world is still barely vaccinated, and even in wealthy countries like the United States, resources are inequitably distributed. It absolutely ain’t over. And this is no time to drop the ball."

This was one little side track from viewing this talk about pyscript https://anaconda.cloud/pyscript-pycon2022-peter-wang-keynote
which looks really cool!

@lightweight these (were on sale) https://www.kathmandu.co.nz/keen-targhee-exp-waterproof-men-s-shoes.html I have problem with Achilles tendon that means high ankle boots are very painful, hence the choice of these shoes.

Very happy with new walking shoes. Sturdy yet comfy.

@Br3nda Not specific to this post, but is it now impossible to see anything on instagram without being logged in?

NZ : "On the 29 deaths reported today:
Two people were in their 20s, three in their thirties, three in their fifties, four in their sixties, six in their seventies, three in their eighties and eight over the age of ninety."

Just a cold huh? Keep wearing your f**ing masks people! Stay home if you're sick.
A disaster that unfolds slower than a soundbite is too boring for us... No wonder dealing with climate change also seems beyond us.

****!

@Br3nda to be clear, I've done my own squirming around in the dust with my nose pressed to the floor joists down to 25cm clearance. Glad there wasn't a quake while I was in that spot...

@Br3nda is this what we have kids for?
If 35cm is to the bearer underside, it is not terrible. If it is to joists, yes pretty tight. You need a skinny, non-claustrophobic operator.

@futuresprog welcome back. Quite a few people joined here wanting to get away from musk.social I think.
