Not very, it spreads human to human but much less aggressively than flu or covid.

“We do believe that there may be some human-to-human transmission that’s happening among the really close contacts, the husband and wife, people who’ve shared cabins,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, the director of epidemic and pandemic management at the World Health Organization, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday.

…

However, Debbink says, if this is indeed human-to-human transmission, the virus does not seem to be highly transmissible because then “you would have a lot more cases on the cruise ship, just from people being around each other in pretty close proximity.”

GitHub is where a lot of companies store their source code, so many software development workflows require it to be available. For a while it had fantastic uptime, but since Microslop started shoving vibe coded updates its reliability has cratered.

That’s pretty impressive! As far as I know, only Mlem (iOS only) can also keep posts/communities/etc open when switching accounts.

All this and more, for the low low price of actually reading the article:

It enables complex visual patterns while also retaining approximately 95 percent of the power output of an uncoated module.

Greatest is hard to nail down, but some songs that I think belong in the conversation:

Måneskin - BLA BLA BLA is pretty unhinged.

Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind isn’t unambiguously a breakup song, but the vibes are right there for me.

Kanye’s a piece of shit but See You In My Nightmares is a banger of a breakup song

Beatles - Yesterday is an all time classic

Be grateful for it, the horny is holding back the corn is holding back the politics

Of course not, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. We go to space because it’s cool and we can, and that’s a beautifully human thing to do. As for the money, it’s a baseline fact of this world that enormous sums will be spent on things that don’t fix our problems, and space is as good a use as any for that wasted cash. If it were space or solving hunger, solving hunger is the obvious priority, but practically speaking it’s “don’t solve hunger and go to space” or “don’t solve hunger.”

Not sure where you’re getting this info from, because it’s horribly wrong.

Per Baseball Reference, corroborated by Savant:

• Rich Hill is not an active MLB player
• Verlander weighs 240
• Scherzer weighs 208
• Martin is 39yo, 6’8”
• Santana is 40yo, 5’10” 210lb

Leaving aside that you’re calling 43yo/6’5”/240lb “old and fat”—that’s below average BMI even before accounting for BMI not accurately representing the fatness of elite athletes

At a super rough gloss:

Pure Marxism encompasses two basic theories: Marx’s critique of capitalist economics, which he argues are predicated on unjust material distributions which are employed by the owning class to steal value from the working class by controlling the means of production; and his proposed alternative, wherein the workers own the means of production and exist in a stateless, classless worker’s paradise (“communism”).

Notably lacking in Marx’s work is a compelling plan for how to move from capitalism to communism. Enter Leninism: to transition, the so-called “vanguard party” will seize control and establish a total dictatorship to wholly quash capitalism and bring the society into alignment towards communism; when this is achieved, the vanguard party is supposed to relinquish control and the worker’s utopia may commence.

This school of thought, deemed Marxism-Leninism, is the nominal philosophy underpinning many modern states that bill themselves as communist, including the USSR and the CCP. While on paper it provides a feasible path to the worker’s utopia, critics argue that in practice the vanguard party fails to relinquish control, establish themselves as the new owning class, and operate a fundamentally capitalist regime under the trappings of communism.
