Why the Canadian government is trying to ban
flavoured vapes.

Life with #LongCovid is a bit like my computer keyboard.
Things look fine
but because my R key no longer works,
I have to do command-V every time I need to insert an R in a word.

Mucosal vaccines teach the cells to detect, stop a bug before it can get all the way into the rest of the body, infecting it.
I was surprised to learn that we catch polio thru our mouth & digestive tract.
That's why early polio vaccines were taken orally, not in a shot, for eg.

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

Communities need to actively support community news.
Paying for ads to inform people is good for business & community.
Otherwise, you'd have to spend even more
to get the word out.
Good for business.
Good for community.

The least chipmunk (Tamias minimus) is the smallest chipmunk in North America, but what they lack in size they make up for in ADORABLE

Taxes are not punishment.
Period.

Why US TikTok ban?
Similar to Cdn projects who insist data go to Cdn servers: Homeland Security can access all info stored in US.
'US lawmakers, authorities concerned data from TikTok’s 170 million US users could be accessed by PRC under PRC security laws' theguardian.com/technology/202…

Just because
it's a cute bunny.
May not have existed in reality
but is a little joy to behold IMHO.

Bits of dead virus

shows cows HAVE HAD bird flu.
Can't catch it from pasteurized milk.

We avoid mammograms for many reasons
-fear of radiation (risk of mammogram series=smoking 1/2 cigarette in your lifetime)
-fear they will find cancer (It can find tumours too small to feel, size of lemon pip, when lumpectomy & cure can still be possible)cbc.ca/news/politics/…

From FB:

When an offspring was a preschooler, they went thru 'Where do babies come from?' stage. No problem.
But the 'Can I see dead things & handle them?' curiosity stage, I choked.
It is our last taboo.
(We did discuss it, when they wanted & found kids' books to leave lying around.)

My GP said, that before BC's new support for
office staff,
office rent
& time for paperwork,
plus the new option for billing for time instead of service,
that he took home the same as a high school principal
& had to save for his retirement, sick days etc out of it himself.

As a journalist, it can take a lot of time to check & recheck a company's claims.
Eg Dairlyland sold to Saptuo who sold their Burnaby dairy but said another was to open in PoCo.
Island Farms, also sold, continues to produce milk & milk products like butter

On the good news front:
( #PureResearch doesn't have obvious use for general public
Eg, When mathematicians showed electricity & magnetism = 2 sides of same coin, no obvious use.
But today, what in your sight hasn't been touched by an electrical process?)
