That's okay as long as we get the vaccine stock that was destined for you. /jest

The article claims "in droves" then doesn't give a number, or even an estimate.

Yes, exactly. It's best to just not have your voice heard. Don't vote now, and don't protest later.

I did some sleuthing. It has been adapted from a poster about fighting against tuberculosis.

What happened to the "nothing to hide" argument? It was eviscerated. It is not a good argument.

For non-Americans: I needed a translator for the acronyms

Literal Meaning:

RFK = Robert F. Kennedy Jr

HHS = Department of Health and Human Services

Meaning (my guess): A head of public health who will end up gutting health measures for the public so they get sick and have to spend more money in the private sector.

Am I close?

Worth it. Cars are an ongoing cost, and don't bring joy if you're not into them. I think you made the right choice, you chose joy.

That makes God a rapist who didn’t get consent.

If we take the story at face value, he did get consent.

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

Instead they are normalized

Normalised to what? This doesn't help.

Each point on the graph is divided by the highest point, 100

There we go. So a spike could be 1 person, or millions of people.

Trump: "I stopped the genocide."

Us: "You made the genocide worse!"

Trump: "Worse? Or better?"

~~Oh no, I never said that they are only separable by time.~~

~~You may not have said it, but you typed it. Lets look at the replay.~~

~~And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.~~

It can’t only be time that transforms the one into the other

I agree with you here.

IWTL how to Build an RF Amplifier (programming.dev)
 

I want to build / design an RF amplifier that can boost the signal from an AMT-MW207 kit.

Design goals:

  • Boost the signal a couple of watts
  • AM signal
  • 525 - 1605 kHz baseband range

I've been searching for RF amplifier designs but many of them are too big (10's of Watts), or are hard to implement. It's been difficult trying to find something that can instruct me clearly. I'll have to take into account things like impedances and the like.

I have an electronics background, so if you can only point me towards a book or other resource, even that would be helpful.

I'm going to be checking out 'Experimental Methods in RF Design', hopefully it can point me in the right direction.

Recommendation Request: Similar to Iron War (programming.dev)

I just finished listening to Iron War by Matt Fitzgerald. I loved the descriptions of the history of the event, the history of each of the racers, and their future after the race. It helped me feel amped for my own exercise sessions. Are there other books like this?

Excluding Matt Fitzgerald's other books, of course.

Bioinformatics for Beginners (www.youtube.com)
 

Maria Nattestad just dropped a new introduction to the field of bioinformatics.

Foundation skills for bioinformatics:

  • Python
  • Use the Command Line (e.g. Bash, scripts)
  • Statistics - p-values, multiple hypothesis tests

Rosalind: Website for learning bioinformatics and programming through problem solving (rosalind.info)

I've used Rosalind in the past to learn about bioinformatics. I solved about 17 of the problems, which is about 6% of the problems on the site.

I think it gave a decent mix of guided learning and letting you figure things out on your own. I would say having some background knowledge in biology and coding would be necessary. It doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but there is some.
