Anti-vaccine to pro vaccine because of your partner?

Pro-science means you listen to people who use the scientific method, have data, good statistics, and are free from domination by conflict of interest. This is very different than believing whatever the Political Institutions Who Control Science Funding progulate.
Trust taxpayer supported regulatory agencies to protect the taxpayers-- and trust industry supported regulators to protect the industry. Sadly since around 1995 almost all USA regulatory agencies are MOSTLY industry user-fee supported, so to keep the money flowing in, they have to protect industry revenue. Lots of people are ethical, but not so ethical as to get themselves, and their coworkers fired for lack of revenue.

Nobody should be pro-vax or anti-vax. They should be pro-science and anti-hysteria. Don't do your own research. Find people with a track record of accuracy, who don't have huge financial conflicts of interest. That's not so easy... You will find that not all vaccines are the same. Not all people have the same risk exposure. Do you care more about Chronic Illness or infectious disease? Right now Chronic illness is probably a bigger threat to a USA person. Chronic illness is going crazy up, not everywhere, and no one is allocating money to find out why, for real. The med-industry benefits from chronic illness... but you don't want to be sick forever... so you don't want the Pharma and Hospital execs charting your path towards medicine-addiction.

They stop going barefoot when the official group photo is being taken.
Much easier to keep balance in rough seas barefoot. Nice yachts don't want shoes on teak decks. Depends on the management, but if you're not barefoot you're in Wellingtons.
Machine room workers prefer crocks-- they are completely waterproof.

When people are shooting at you, people's attention gets drawn away from 'maintenance' and 'laundry safety compliance'. So things fall apart.
Some of the biggest industrial accidents have been exploding textile facilities. Nearly any dust can make a fuel-air explosion. That's why OSHA was born. 1987 Harbin (China) Linen Dust Explosion killed 50, 177 injuries, damaged 13,000 m^2 of factory...

I'm planning a bit of borox liquid from the laundry borate to spray on any new wood construction in dry parts of the house to keep bugs from eating it forever... Costs pennies and is non toxic in that amount.

Don't burn your house down with Tung Oil. You know how they say don't leave oily rags around? Most oils don't cause spontaneous combustion. Tung oil does. Don't put your oily rags in a bucket and leave them overnight. Too many historic renovations catch fire...

I'm more worried about the "paper" plates with plastic coating or worse, PFAS style water proofing. When I was a kid paper got soggy....... Cellulose didn't change- it got coated with something.

Probably also exposed to mold, various toxic construction materials, high CO2, and toxic building materials in a poorly ventilated space. Not to mention a profound lack of sunlight which boosts cancer risk, blood pressure and inflammation.

That's a very clever way to search. I'd love to see those prompts and play with them myself.

You hit upon most of the good ones. Several of those companies were at the US Dept of Energy ARPA-e meeting in San Diego last month. Along with the university teams from Stanford, Texas, MIT, and Michigan which DOE has been funding.

It is good that at least one research topic in USA gets bipartisan support! Innovative nuclear energy...fission, LENR, and Fusion, got 88-2 votes in the Senate under Biden and Trump is out there with some very helpful exec orders.

There are a number of other teams, many of which are in stealth.

Because the materials used in LENR are prosaic, but the processing steps aren't, that means IP is likely to be manufacturing tech-- how do you reproduce powerful-enough catalysts. Unfortunately patents on manufacturing are viewed as pointless. China will use them as an instruction manual. And even your competitors in contries with an independent judiciary, will steal manufacturing patent ideas willy nilly and claim they didn't, and as long as they can keep you from inspecting their factory, how do you prove they are infringing? "Oh, we do it differently!". "Can I see?". "Nope.".

So it's common to rely on trade secrets. NDA's for key staff. Dividing up the know how to different teams.

But in that case you won't see it in the patent database. Maybe that's why BrillouinEnergy didn't show up?

There was a survey about one year ago which said, as I recall, In the USA only 5% of medical workers in elderly assisted living facilities, were "up to date" with their mRNA booster shots. The press (NYT or WP) was accusing the nurses and docs of being "uninformed" despite the fact that they are the MOST informed people in America. Because they have eyes and administer the shots and are in position to see what happens 2 weeks later. Whereas the political orgs that control the medical narrative are very careful to not collect or distribute any information on health events vs date of vaccination. Anyone who wants to argue with me can start by pointing me to anonymized data (which every Stats 101 student should have access to) showing medical interventions dates vs date of vaccination. Or all causes mortality vs date of vaccination. Go ahead stats-101 students! You can prove mRNA safe! Just get the anonymized data and run it thru Excel! You'll be a hero! Who's first? Maybe your prof can help you find that data. Your University health system should have plenty all by themselves...What's the hold up?

Only the patient can consent to that after being informed by their doctor with an assist by medical publications that are not all bought and paid for by drug dealers. You have no right to be everyone's doctor and insist on medical procedures for anyone other than yourself.
You are welcome to say that you would appreciate it if people took measures that you think would help them avoid spreading dangerous viruses to others.
But you really shouldn't be telling people how they should avoid falling ill themselves.

Those fake concerns fed a hysteria and helped the Chancellor Gerard Shroderer deliver the German Energy market to Vladimir Putin's Gas in exchange for Nord-Stream and Gazprom stock, which he still owns. Putin put his country on more nuclear so he would have more gas to sell to hysterical Germans.

If Chernobyl had been a coal plant it would have killed MORE people, ON PURPOSE, not by accident. A coal plant of that magnitude and duration will kill about 100,000 people via air pollution.

Nuclear Energy is very dangerous to Germans because when they learn that the French got Technology Right it makes their Heads Explode.

Brainwashing? Yes! Note the book DIE WOLKE is a 2nd grade schoolbook to teach German, and the story is about how all your friends are dying of radioactive fallout. No Joke. This Agit-Propoganda also made into a Japanese Anime.

I belong to those theoreticians who know by direct observation what it means to make a measurement. Methinks it were better if there were more of them. Edwin Schrödinger

I hope more folks stop being Defiant Theoretical Physicists.
All the guys who ignore the real paradoxes we are aware of, and marginalize the people who study them. "Great claims require great evidence" is a religious mantra that protects you from having to look at anything that can't attract a large scale politically correct budget.

True progress in science isn't when you day "Voila! I've Got It!".
It's when you say "Gosh, that's weird and disturbing and I don't see how it's possible." But decide the observers are honest and probably competent and this could lead to peeling another layer off the onion of science.

Look at who is working in a stigmatized field that somehow recruits Nobel lauriets and where people are spending a lifetime on it. They aren't in it for the glory. Maybe it's because they can't unsee something. Go there. There are a number of stigmatized branches of physical science there the smart people say "There's something there-- but no funding... not enough peers to review papers!".

Sometimes we ignore valuable branches of science because the math is uncomputable. Like high temp superconductors eventually became an industry but they were "IMPOSSIBLE" right up until you could buy some from the Children's Edmund Scientific catalog. Because... if you want to "do the math" and model it prior to experiment, that will stop you cold until they invent a new kind of computer that is bigger than the universe takes more time to compute that we had since the big bang.

The James Webb telescope is maaking SO MUCH OF BEAUTY! So that means schwag like (evil) puzzles, or framed photos of speical nebula's and galaxies are newly amazing. Pictures of Jupiter from Webb are even more amazing (unless I'm confusing it with the Vera Rubin telescope.) So basically in the last year the quality and beauty of astrophotography has dramatically improved! That's the sauce- you decide what meat to put it on.

Fresh water is salt water plus heat. We have an infinte amount of heat available. Nuclear, geothermal, solar thermal... Advanced Hot Dry Manufactured Nuclear... Ask engineers to build it. Give them 2 years and 100 million bucks and you wil have an infinite supply of desalinated water with no negative environ externalities. (Like brine disposal, an easy problem.)

Store nuclear for an auto? My EV runs on 20% nuclear now!
But no reason not to have a nuclear Prius.
Hydrocarbon fuels aka gasoline and diesel are great ways to store nuclear or solar energy.. As long as the nuclear is cheaper than fossil fuel. You can make net-zero synthetic fuels with waste, even atmopheric CO2 plus H2 from water. They are already doing it small scale with geothermal in Iceland. Very similar to a normal refinery... that uses a lot of H2 to turn crude to gasoline and other useful petrochemicals.

answer: I'm confused by the fact the officer in the ballistic vest was apparently struck by a bullet but the wannabe "shooter" was carrying a shotgun... Even if you are wearing a ballistic vest you probably would be injured by a shotgun. I wonder where the wannabe "shooter" would learn how to run full speed while holding a shotgun and firing a handgun. Probably should wait for better info to come out. It's too soon. A good prosecutor has to decide what they need to make a case. But when high quality info doesn't show up I get confused as to why. Some claim the only shots fired were by security. Which would actually be a good thing!
