The Secretary of HHS does not accept that germs cause illness. The logical conclusion of that is the worst pseudoscience of all: eugenics.
He believes that it is not germs that cause illness, but personal failure (or if you're Chinese or Jewish he thinks bioweapons were designed to avoid you).

These are Naloxone kits from every Canadian Province where I've had access to them: Ontario, Quebéc, and Nova Scotia.
Not every Province makes these accessible (PEI, for example) and they aren't available at all in some places in the world (the UK, for instance).
Just because these are accessible in some places now, doesn't mean they always will be. Naloxone is a life saving medicine, that until we have safe supply, we need to keep fighting for.

It's like something out of science fiction. In China, they've built a 35-meter plexiglass sphere 700 meters underground. It holds 20,000 tonnes of a strange liquid, surrounded by 43,200 photomultiplier tubes that can detect tiny flashes of light. It's deliberately built 50 kilometers from a nuclear reactor. It will start operation soon.
The goal? To measure some numbers in a 3×3 matrix.
It's called the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix. Unless we are seriously confused — which is always possible — this matrix controls the behavior of the 3 kinds of neutrinos. Neutrinos of the first kind are produced as a byproduct of nuclear fission. But they can turn into the other kinds as they shoot along. The rate at which they do is in part described by this matrix. (It also depends on the masses of the 3 neutrinos.)
What's the use of this? Easy: one goal of any prosperous civilization has always been to better understand the universe. It's just a tiny part of the grand scheme. It usually comes well after the goal of eating lots of tasty foods, or watching people run around playing with spheres. But sometimes it has huge effects, and some of us find it very exciting.

It's one of the most amazing things built by humans, and it's called JUNO, the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory. Check it out!
It should have been completed by November *2024*. As usual there were delays, but it's been built now, and it should start taking data this fall.
For more on the physics problem it's trying to solve, read on....

It's a cruel fact that we can't measure neutrino masses by looking at how neutrinos oscillate back and forth between the 3 kinds. We can only measure the differences in the squares of their masses!
This creates a lot of difficulties. In particular, we're still not sure if there are two light neutrinos and one heavy, or two heavy neutrinos and one light. (They're all quite light, but the chart shows what I mean.)
The first scenario seems more likely from the data we have so far, so it's called the 'normal hierarchy'. The second is called the 'inverted hierarchy'.
JUNO should help figure out which hierarchy is correct. It will also help with other questions. The three kinds of neutrino as measured by their *mass* are blends of the 3 kinds as measured by *how they're produced and detected*.
This blending is one of the things described by the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix. And it's also shown in the chart here.
The 3 kinds as measured by how they're produced and detected are called the e, μ and τ neutrinos. They're shown in red, green and blue in this chart. This chart shows how each of the 3 kinds as measured by mass is a mixture of red, green and blue!
For details on what we know and what JUNO will help figure out, try this:
• Francesco Capozzi, William Giarè, Eligio Lisi, Antonio Marrone, Alessandro Melchiorri and Antonio Palazzo, Neutrino masses and mixing: entering the era of subpercent precision, arxiv.org/abs/2503.07752.
Briefly, JUNO will help measure
m₂² − m₁²
and two other numbers that are functions of the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix elements. Alas, the numbers we can measure are not the numbers we most want to know!

Le barriere coralline sono ecosistemi estremamente vivaci e.. rumorosi!
I ricercatori di bioacustica che studiano il paesaggio sonoro del mare, hanno scoperto che questi ambienti in realtà non sono affatto silenziosi ma incredibilmente diversificati acusticamente.
Come sulla terraferma gli animali, una barriera corallina produce suoni sott'acqua, anche particolarmente forti, che possiamo immaginare come scoppiettii, cinguettii, grugniti e schiocchi.

No se puede jugar un juego sin imaginación o ver una peli sin andar predispuesto a creerse mentiras
En otro toot he preguntado ¿por que la gente pasa por alto la cutrez de Star Trek? y al mismo tiempo creo que tiene q ver con jugar videojuegos bien
Jugar al jet pac sin imaginar que eres un astronauta mejor no lo hagas cabrón.
Jugar a Fallout sin creerte la historia y la de los NPCs y solo ver píxeles mal puestos, personajes trotando más q andando, ... MAL
Has de aceptar un pacto de irrealidad
@guizans ya, en esos juegos creo que lo interesante no es ni ganar ni participar. En algunos juegos de mesa lo que mola es crear las normas, jugar al juego con otra gente pero sin seguir totalmente lo que viene en el papel.
Jugar al futbolín dando vueltas por ejemplo.
Lo interesante también es supongo ser participe, dialogar, ceder, llegar a acuerdos en lo que jugamos. El parchís por ejemplo lo juegas con terceros y esa parte es lo que hace diferentes al parchís de los videojuegos. Supongo.
