In the laboratory/manufacturing world we use this thing called the heirarchy of hazards control. It defines the steps you should go through when trying to make a process safer. The heirarchy is Elimination - Substitution - engineering controls - administrative controls - ppe.

What most safety campaigns focus on is the administrative controls, or the 2nd to last step. Slogans and driving laws and things that can easily be ignored. Here, Hoboken has applied engineering controls - physical barriers that separate the person from the hazard. I guess in this case it's removing an obstructing barrier.

Your meme has inspired me to renew my library card.

Wastewater-based epidemiology. Basically we track infectious diseases in wastewater, and the results guide public health decisions.

MapQuest out here trying to meme their way back into relevance.

One of our bioinformatics has a sign at his desk that says "taxonomy is a social construct".

I'm not sure what machine they were raging against, but it was probably a printer.

I see where Trump got his name calling ideas from.

So this is actually my industry - Wastewater Based Epidemiology or WBE. It is very anonymous. There is no way to pick out one person's identity from the waste stream. What we get is a about 100mL of blend from 24 hour's worth of shit water passing into the treatment plant. A tiny treatment plant is processing 100,000 gallons per day, while a top 10 plant is processing > 100 Million gallons per day.

I told a doctor once that I got a "normal amount of headaches". He asked me how many that was and I told him 1 or 2 a week, to which he responded "the normal amount is 0".

I was in to see him about migraines.

This is what happens if you take it out as a lump sum. If you choose to take your winnings over an extended period of time (20 years or something), it is taxes more like income.

That said, I totally agree with you!

Ranked choice voting allows you to rank each candidate in order of preference. This voting style is picking up steam in local and state level community initiatives, and is likely to allow the US to break from a 2 party system.

Change is scary to Republicans so they are trying to vilify it and ban it for federal elections.

His response to the 2018 Thai Cave rescue is what made me realize how big of a shit stain on society he is.

Wastewater based epidemiology is really freaking cool, and we have covid to thank for moving it from academia to industry/government testing, where the results are actionable.

We are now tracking covid, mpox, the flu, RSV and many other diseases in wastewater. It's very cost-effective community monitoring and can be applied anywhere from the influent of treatment plants to the manhole cover in front of your gym.
