Techniques used to track animals using eDNA -- DNA from cells shed from breathing, walking, touching or excreting -- can also be used to track humans.
New research shows that identifiable individual sequences can be recovered and studied, raising serious #privacy concerns (from @ufresearch researchers)

Why doesn't anyone ever come back from a near death experience claiming Hell

For some reason, I got a ton (or at least several ounces) of people asking me about Faraday bags for phones the last couple days.
While I’m not in the Faraday bag testing business, you might find this writeup I did a couple years ago helpful, mainly to explore how you can think about what Faraday bags do and don’t do and how to measure them. Go science!

I’m gonna come out and say it again — if you feel the need to refuse standard of care medical treatment for religious or moral reasons, you don’t belong in medicine. Just fuck off and find a career where vulnerable people relying on you don’t suffer because of your selfishness. I treat nazis. I treat pedophiles. I treat people of all stripes. I’ve treated drunk drivers after I took the radio call to pronounce time of death for their victims.
We. Don’t. Refuse. Care.

@sethcotlar Somebody the other day called it "bird chan" and I think that's what I'm going to call it.

Title 42 ended, but because the Biden Administration planned ahead and is actually competent, we didn’t see a crush of migrants streaming across the border.
The media, probably: “Border crossings are surprisingly lower. Here’s how that’s bad for the White House.”

Good. Now the reactionaries will have to go out of their way ro get their 2 minute hate.

Racist Bus Bombing
Today in Labor History May 14, 1961: Racists bombed and burned a bus full of Freedom Riders in Alabama. They shot out the tires and threw smoke bombs into the bus, and then attacked the occupants with sticks. Doctors at the local hospital refused to treat the wounded.

"You see," my colleague went on, "one doesn’t see exactly where or how to move. Believe me, this is true. Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don’t want to act, or even talk, alone; you don’t want to ‘go out of your way to make trouble.’ Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

It'd be a shame if a rash of broken wind-shields on certain models of truck made the cost of insuring them go up.
@xinicit In that case, I guess your going to want to take a look at my Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMsKqRMH2e2HtnG9SFuuvVQ
