“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Can someone please explain to this eejit that it's unethical to conduct placebo trials where there is already a standard of care?
Also, that masks, clean air, vaccines, boosters, and antivirals work, plus #COVID19 is NOT benign in kids.

Scientists in Beijing built a 10¢ test that detects Covid in under 1 minute—faster, cheaper & more sensitive than PCR or CRISPR. No machines, no enzymes, no labs. Just flip a test tube and read the result, similar to a pregnancy test but faster & more sensitive.

The sensor performs cheap, sensitive, and visual DNA/RNA detection based on target-triggered change of surface wettability.

Oh this is good news. I knew immediately upon seeing a car with a touch screen for the first time that it was a mistake and exactly why. A whole lot of other people did, too. Nice to see manufacturers acknowledging it.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars.
Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
