I'm not sure he'll do that. I suspect he sees himself as one of the strong who will survive anything. Which is of course an illusion.

Ach, ich weiß nicht - so ein Cartoon auf Kalauer-Basis ist einfach spielerisch, und das Niveau hängt dann an der Ausführung. Urteil: gelungen - breites Grinsen beim Erkennen der zitierten Gemälde. Ein Hauch von Franquins idées noires. Hätte ihm vielleicht noch Rasierklingen-Ohrringe verpasst ...

“Improving our nation through better design” is certainly important work: we know this, because it’s exactly what we were doing when DOGE eliminated 18F entirely.

It's a CartaFRECCIA Senior. I filled out the application form on paper (which is required by non-residents), sent it to cfreccia.application@trenitalia.it and received an 'electronic' version of the card two weeks later.

I shamelessly took advantage of the respective french and italian cards as soon as I turned 60. Unfortunally, in Germany I have to wait til 65. We aren't considered to be seniors at 60 ... (For the Trenitalia card I had to jump through some hoops and it doesn't give many benefits but I insisted!)

Not if the vaccination rate in the US is terrible due to misinformation and ideology. We don't have any common ground here so I won't continue this.

Don't know what your point is. The mRNA vaccines worked.
Oswald Heger (@oswald1160.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the point. There is no ballast, no other random cell bits. It creates only the relevant bit, so the antibodies created are entirely focused on the correct target.
Oswald Heger (@oswald1160.bsky.social) reply parent
Why would it be odd? The trick is not just to feed some triggers to the body and hoping that the defence system will activate somehow. It's really more like 'hacking' the cell system and tell it exactly what to do. Plenty more control levers, targeted, efficient.
Oswald Heger (@oswald1160.bsky.social) reply parent
That's very true. It's also true that mRNA vaccines were more effective against COVID-19 than conventional vaccines. So you'd have to weigh the risk aspect against that, even when it was comparable between the two approaches.
Oswald Heger (@oswald1160.bsky.social) reply parent
If you expand "previous" to include the entire history of vaccination then it's obvious that safety has progressed considerably over time. That's how I understand the post you were replying to. Also, it's a fact that we can design vaccines now instead of trying to tweak pre-existing pathogens.

OTOH, that DOJ report says that he had attempted suicide before, and that he had signed a new Last Will two days before his death. The camera recording defect had happened on July 29th already. It just wasn't repaired yet. It's not that it only happened that night.

I recently travelled on the much-praised Caledonian Sleeper. However the experience was bad, due to insufficient ventilation in the compartment as the train must have sat in the sun before. This will be even more of an issue when the bed is right under the roof. Adjustable ventilation is important.
