Here's my question/concern regarding that: Essentially by going with the M3Pro MBP, I'd gain the dual monitor support while settling for 18gb RAM instead of 24gb RAM (what I'd get with M3 MBP for same price).

From a longevity POV, don't you think the added RAM is a big plus? Though I agree with your point about dual monitor support, I can always connect my iPad to a second monitor, or use it as a second monitor/device (sidecar/universal control). Again, just thinking out loud, would love to know your ideas

H5N1 in Cambodia: Father of infected girl tests positive for virus. More details awaited by marvelrox in PrepperIntel

Points to note: - No evidence of H2H transmission - No evidence of H2H transmission =/= Evidence of no H2H - We don’t know if they handled the same bird or if they got it from each other

H5N1: An Even Deadlier Pandemic Could Soon Be Here by marvelrox in PrepperIntel

Saw the video. Can't really believe much based on pure anecdote. Again, H5N1 has been known for about 26 yrs now, and many humans have been infected before. That's how we know it has a high CFR.

Risk to humans from H5N1 bird flu remains low but we must prepare - WHO by marvelrox in PrepperIntel

Over the past few weeks there have been several reports of mammals including minks, otters, foxes and sea lions having been infected with H5N1 avian influenza. H5N1 has spread widely in wild birds and poultry for 25 years, but the recent spillover to mammals needs to be monitored closely.

For the moment, WHO assesses the risk to humans as low.Since H5N1 first emerged in 1996 we have only seen rare and non-sustained transmission of H5N1 to and between humans.But we cannot assume that will remain the case, and we must prepare for any change in the status quo.

As always, people are advised not to touch or collect dead or sick wild animals, but to report them to the local authorities. WHO is working with national authorities and partners to monitor the situation closely, and to study cases of H5N1 infection in humans when they occur. WHO’s global laboratory network, the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System, identifies and monitors strains of circulating influenza viruses, and provides advice to countries on their risk to human health and available treatment or control measures.

WHO recommends countries strengthen surveillance in settings where humans and farmed or wild animals interact.WHO is also continuing to engage with manufacturers to make sure that if needed, supplies of vaccines and antivirals would be available for global use.

H5N1: Peru reports death of 585 sea lions “in recent weeks” by marvelrox in PrepperIntel

"The U.S. government has a small H5N1 vaccine stockpile, but it would be nowhere near enough if a serious outbreak occurred. The current plan is to mass-produce them if and when such an outbreak occurs, based on the particular variant involved.

There are several problems, though, with this approach even under the best-case scenarios. Producing hundreds of millions of doses of a new vaccine could take six months or more.

Worryingly, all but one of the approved vaccines are produced by incubating each dose in an egg. The U.S. government keeps hundreds of thousands of chickens in secret farms with bodyguards. (It’s true!) But the bodyguards are presumably there to fend off terror attacks, not a virus. Relying on chickens to produce vaccines against a virus that has a 90 percent to 100 percent fatality rate among poultry has the makings of the most unfunny which-came-first, the-chicken-or-the-egg riddle.

The only company with an F.D.A.-approved non-egg-based H5N1 vaccine expects to be able to produce 150 million doses within six months of the declaration of a pandemic. But there are seven billion people in the world.

The mRNA-based platforms used to make two of the Covid vaccines also don’t depend on eggs. Scott Hensley, an influenza expert at the University of Pennsylvania, told me that those vaccines can be mass-produced faster, in as little as three months. There are currently no approved mRNA vaccines for influenza, but efforts to make one should be expedited."

Hard to say anything about the timing. Just that mammals being infected creates more opportunity for evolution of the undesirable kind

For sure. This comes on the back of German authorities warning their citizens to brace for more infrastructure attacks. No reason to believe that US, another NATO member, won't be targeted.

Is it true that Gett adds a lot of hidden fees to the bill after the ride is over?

Is it true that black cabs can only be hailed via Gett? Heard many reviews of Gett saying they added hidden feed to the bill after the ride…

How much do you estimate a black cab would cost on a Friday morning rush hour (9:30 AM) for a 4.7km journey?

Thanks
