1) Ramadan is a month in islamic calender. Muslims fast all the 30 days of the month from sunrise to sunset (nothing should go down the throat not even your own saliva)

2) Normally better to wish for the end of the ramadan (Eid) that's a big holiday and festival for muslims.

Today in our lab meeting we reviewed this terrific #article on #writing. Like the author, I grew up in #science with Bem's advice on writing. In hindsight, some of his advice is shocking.

It is worth remembering that the MSM is owned by a few billionaires and put out propaganda rather than news. True journalism has almost been killed off and independence between 'news outlets' no longer exists.

I hear the same narrative on New Zealand TV news that I recognise from reading US news outlets on-line. They use exactly the same words at times.

For a brief time last year I noticed some real journalism, during the uncertainties of Covid-19 lock-downs, but it soon reverted.

Holy crap, close call lightening strike and my 50 some foot antenna on my roof definately felt that, heard it crackle.

Very sad to learn that RIPE are now using Cloudflare. Yet another critical piece of infrastructure is under the control of a US company, and thus the US govt.

I voiced my objection when I was asked for feedback and am told it is an emergency response to DDoS attacks, but they are considering keeping it in place. Cloudflare can now issue TLS certs on behalf of RIPE.

Cloudflare can and do have outages, and the last one was catastrophic:

To all my #Muslim friends I want to wish you a good #Ramadan and I hope it brings you whatever it is you seek.

Does anyone else constantly wish for access to actuarial tables for everything?

What are my chances of getting Lyme disease if I go hiking 6x / month in the summer in CT? How dangerous is a motorcycle vs. bike vs. car?

I need a http://microcovid.org, but for everything.
