Infrasound can behave in strange ways. Hearing it from a mile and a half away is not even unusual. I remember trying to track a sound I was hearing through the living room wall. I walked 5 blocks in what I thought was the general direction, and the sound waxed and waned as I walked. I finally gave up. I found out the next day that there was a rock concert the previous night. About 2 miles away. Across the river.

The problem is compounded by the common use of dBA in noise ordinances. dBA discards sound lower than 20 Hertz.

Also, you can't block it out, except maybe with an acoustic metamaterial. Loud infrasound and near-infrasound is torture.

I don't give my FireTV (which I acquired unaware of the infernal software) access to the internet. I have a Roku box for apps (including Amazon Prime, which I'm dumping). Stuff like this story makes me happy to be so untrusting.

When all is said and done, THIS is the comment that will stick in my head.

"Change is scary for conservatives and the elderly.". What's scary for this elderly geezer is that change (of the life-affirming and anti-capitalist kind) is happening far too slowly.

So, the coffee lobby is competing with the carbonated syrup lobby? Makes sense. I wonder if there are studies touting the benefits of Arabica vs Robusta.

The Switchblade missile/drone that's being provided to Ukraine uses, surprise, GPS. There's probably plenty of other military hardware that also uses GPS. What kind of military commander would leave that capabilty active for use by the enemy?

People who have been vaccinated can still spread the disease, so vaccination will not stop the disease. Full stop. There is even a possibility that the vaccinations are the major CAUSE of variations. I'm not convinced, but I'm also not convinced that the unvaccinated are the cause.

As for punishment, you have a strange definition of it. Being barred from stores, being restricted from travelling, being basically locked in your home, that's not punishment?

Florida is 9th for the death rate, but that's for the full extent of the epidemic. Since September, the 7-day average daily death rate has gone from almost 400 to - wait for it - 2. That's in the face of outright hostility to any kind of vaccine mandate and, from what I can tell, a steady drop in the number of mask wearers. Maybe it's because the governor has promoted Regeneron's $2500/dose monoclonal antibody, (but not a word about Ivermectin), but the case count has also dropped off a cliff. So it looks like the surge has faded away on its own. I look at the demands for punishment of the unvaccinated and wonder why such fervor, because it definitely isn't because of public health.

2016, re Clinton: THE EMAILS!!
2020, re Biden: THE EMAILS!!

Are Americans stupid enough to fall for this projection AGAIN?

"Sadly, if one active social commentator suggests that scrubbing a wart with a raw potato and then burying the spud cures the papillomavirus, folks will be planting potatoes in a much greater incidence than than they will be absorbing ideas contrary to their settled belief set(s)."

But at least they'll have more food.

Regarding your tag line, I liked it better as "If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization". (smile)

Cool! How soon can the beef and dairy industry start using this stuff with their cows? And how long will it take to come up with yet another antibiotic for the new-antibiotic-resistant bacteria? Hurry up, we're gonna need something in about 18 months. :-/

This is interesting news, but it gets infuriating to be constantly chasing such a rapidly moving target.

Well ain't that convenient. All those references in the Bill of Rights to "the people" only refer to adult people, I suppose.

They're all single-parent households?

Netflix removed "Root Cause", which blames root canals for a host of medical problems, due to complaints from dentist groups. I saw it before that happened, and while I found it irritating and often flaky, it definitely made me think. Then I found a rebuttal, and I decided there is real reason for concern.

Should the anti-vaxxing pieces have been removed? Tough call.
