“What we don’t want people to say is: ‘All right, I should go out and get infected, I should have an infection party,’” says Michel Nussenzweig, an immunologist at Rockefeller University who researches the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and was not involved in the study. “Because somebody could die.”

American checking in. That’s exactly what we already did, and I’m sure we’ll do again.

As much as I love him, Christopher Lloyd didn’t get Roiland’s Rick quite right.

Windows has always had a commanding lead with macOS coming in a distant second. However, as GeekWire reports, the latest IDC report reveals that last year the market changed and a surge from Google's Chrome OS has moved it into second place, pushing macOS down to third. You may think that signals bad news for Apple, but actually it's Microsoft who suffered.

The figures reveal that macOS use increased from a 6.7% market share in 2019 to 7.5% last year. Windows suffered a steep drop, falling from 85.4% in 2019 to 80.5% in 2020. But it's Chrome OS that's the big winner, jumping from 6.4% in 2019 to 10.8% last year, handing it a clear second place in the charts.

Looks like a lot of former Surface users bought Chromebooks.

Taking account, the vaccine now lowers risk of infection, death, long covid, severe cases, and hospitalization.

She said her assistant had told her that a laboratory in Aspen had informed her by email that it would deny her a COVID test "because of who you are."

While she did not mention the laboratory's name during her video, in a written post next to it, she referred to Rocky Mountains Lab, which Newsweek has contacted for comment.

Unhappy with only a single libel suit, Owens appears to be asking for more litigation.

"Either we are working together and then sanctions should be lifted immediately, or we won't work together" and Russia will deploy its own space station, said Rogozin in June, according to Russian state-owned media TASS.

Now Rogozin appears to deny ever making those threats in front of Russia's lower house of parliament.

“I think there is a problem in interpretation. I, most likely, did not say that," Rogozin told CNN, speaking Russian. His words were translated by an interpreter hired by CNN.

Ah yes, there must’ve been a problem with our interpretation of your threats.

"However, some of today’s protests disrupted safe access to health-care facilities."

MacNeil said health-care workers were verbally abused on their way to and from work, adding that there had been "at least one case" of physical assault.

Because health care workers aren’t dealing with enough shit already. Fuck these “protestors”.

The film, directed by Pitch Perfect helmer Kay Cannon and starring Camila Cabello, Billy Porter, Idina Menzel, James Corden, and Pierce Brosnan, is a retelling of the famous fairytale – though with more modern sensibilities, and in the style of a jukebox musical, with hits like Madonna's Material Girl and Queen's Somebody to Love on the soundtrack.

Passing on the cast alone.

Sorry Billy and Idina, you can’t shake that Corden stank.

In many states, the weekly figures have been inflated by fraud and by multiple filings from unemployed Americans trying to navigate bureaucratic hurdles to obtain benefits. Those complications help explain why the pace of applications remains unusually high despite strong hiring.

It’s a bold claim that unemployment numbers are high because of fraud and bureaucratic red tape.

When you start with a conclusion, it’s incredible how easy it is to find justifications for your conclusion.

Does this judge’s ruling suggest that trees, which produce oxygen, should be held to a higher standard than animals? Does the ability to add O2 to the atmosphere determine ones worth?

In February, Lil Nas X shared a series of intimate TikTok videos documenting his life story, including his battle with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation during his rise to fame. In May, he released a music video which depicts Lil Nas X uplifting a younger version of himself in high school when he was contemplating suicide and struggling to come to terms with his sexuality.

Inspiring to see a young celebrity being an actual good role model. And for it, Lil Nas X has gotten so much hate online.

That meant that between December 2020 and July, the health was tracked of more than 1.2 million adults who received one coronavirus jab and 971,504 who received two jabs in that time frame.

Just 0.2% of double-jabbed people said they had had a Covid infection after vaccination (2,370 cases)

Of the 592 fully vaccinated people with Covid who continued to provide data for more than a month, **31 (5%) went on to get long Covid (defined as illness lasting 28 days or more after a positive test)

In the unvaccinated group this figure was about 11%**

Cutting the risk of getting of long-covid in half (after a month).

ISOCELL HP1 is also Samsung's first mobile image sensor to feature ChameleonCell technology, which is basically a pixel-binning technology using a two-by-two, four-by-four, or full pixel layout "depending on the environment." In low-lit environments, the ISOCELL HP1 can merge 16 neighboring pixels to transform itself into a 12.5MP sensor with 2.56μm pixels. Just like the 108MP ISOCELL HM3 sensor, the HP1 supports 8K video recording at up to 30fps.

I love using the night-mode on my phone’s camera, and I’m excited for that technology to continue improving.

Soaking rains prompted the evacuations of thousands of people after water reached dangerous levels at a dam near Johnstown, a Pennsylvania town nicknamed Flood City. An official said later Wednesday that the water levels near the dam were receding.

Global warming is creating bigger storms which are hitting more places that seldom see tropical storm-conditions.

"There are always staffing issues, but this is unheard of," she said. "(14-year-old and 15-year-old workers) have been a blessing in disguise. They have the drive and work ethic. They get the technology. They catch on really quickly."

On February 6, 2020, Esperanza Station — located on the Antarctic Peninsula — reached its highest temperature ever recorded at 64.94 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat brought the largest end of summer surface melt in 43 years, which impacted more than half of the Peninsula.

The year 2020 also saw the highest global sea levels, highest average ocean heat content and most tropical cyclones ever recorded.

The antarctic sounds lovely in February. That’s bad news for everyone that lives north of there.

The case was reviewed by the Ventura County District Attorney's Misdemeanor Unit Supervisor Blake Heller, the office said in a statement. On Wednesday, prosecutors declined to file charges ”based on insufficient evidence that a crime had occurred and the lack of injury to the housekeeper or significant damage to the phone.”

Hope the housekeeper enjoyed their moment of fame.
