    RSV vaccine

    More science. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines ran phase 3 clinical trials with 35,000-40,000 people. That's an unprecedented scale. Most phase 3 trials enroll no more than a couple of thousand. And if you have prescription medicines in your cabinet now, there is a pretty good chance...

    RSV vaccine

    I thought the new ones were only for adults age 60 and up, or for pregnant women--to pass along the protection to the child. Maybe the '60 and up' is a recommendation, not a limitation. The adult vaccines are different than the RSV vaccine for infants. That one has been around for quite a few...

    RSV vaccine

    Yep...6 has been done, but not by mere mortals. 9-10 is about right. But that's not counting postdoc appointments, which can often add another 2 years before landing that first 'real' job.

    RSV vaccine

    I do agree with you...as a wise man once said, "Government isn't the solution to our problem, government is the problem". But on the other hand we've vaccinated smallpox into extinction, and are 'this' close to doing the same for polio. Of course, RSV and the current strains of Covid aren't...

    Dog on a plane

    Our dog goes ballistic when the resident herd of 14 or so deer make their twice-daily migration through our side yard. When I'm on the couch in the room facing that yard, and he is in his favorite spot looking out the window from the couch, my Apple Watch will give a high noise environment...

    good movies I might not have seen?

    Argo Amazing mostly true story, great cast (including Alan Arkin) and a brilliant cameo near the end. You won’t recognize the cameo, but I won’t reveal it. You can look it up later.

    HAPPY PI DAY!!

    I didn’t get one of those. Just a brass Bent I had to spend endless hours polishing.

    Radia Windrunner

    Looks like a spectacular way to increase the carbon footprint of clean, green wind energy.

    good movies I might not have seen?

    U-571 was a fine account of the heroic actions of the US Navy to capture the sub (actually the U-110), and with it the first Enigma code machine to fall into Allied hands. Of course, one has to overlook details like the fact that it was the British who captured the sub and the Enigma...

    good movies I might not have seen?

    Except Tom Cruise is maybe a 50% scale model of the Jack Reacher of the novels.

    What's For Dinner?

    Tonight I cooked a picanha (sirloin cap) steak, in the Brazilian style, seasoned only with salt, skewered over an open flame, taking off slices as they were seared. Served with garlic toast and a kinda-Brazilian sautéed spinach and onion/bacon dish (more traditionally done with collard greens...

    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    Nevermind cash, the snowmobiler should demand he be given the Blackhawk. Once repairs are completed, of course.

    Would you be interested in some form of back-up propulsion for your piston single? If yes, how much would you be willing to pay for it?

    Well, the technology WOULD save your family's lives in the event of an engine failure. Because your family would have been left behind safely on the ground, so that you could use your available useful load to carry the batteries.

    A letter from the Southeast United States

    Idaho native here, and moving back this year now that we've retired. But the cars have NJ plates on them. I'm thinking we'll be better off discarding the plates at the state line. Better to risk the tickets than be incorrectly identified by the new neighbors as north-easterners.

    What's For Dinner?

    Some years back, I enjoyed a dinner buffet at one of the Yellowstone lodges. They were serving steamship of bison. It musta taken an engine hoist to get that thing up on the buffet table.

    What's For Dinner?

    Three channels in the '50's? Oh, to have had such a privileged childhood! In rural southern Idaho, well into the 1970's, we had one channel. Cable wouldn't be run out there for another 15 years, Satellite wasn't yet a thing. Interestingly, with only one channel in the market, they could run...
