Radon is Canada's leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Almost every Edmonton house has some of it. My house has been trying to kill me for years. But I won, and my radon is mitigated. Test for radon, folks. You can borrow radon testers from EPL. pls dont die

RFK Jr. thinks that getting measles is no big deal, and points to the low death rate to support this asinine opinion. Besides the fact that these deaths are preventable, he ignores hospitalizations and immune amnesia, which can erase immunity to other pathogens that people have already built up.

Today I reread "Superluminal", by the late great Vonda McIntyre. It is a stunningly good book which you should read. It has been >30 years since I last read it. Superluminal was published in 1983. I found this on pages 37–38 of the original, hardcover edition […] [Original post on federate.social]

Ever since she had left the water, her message signal had been glowing, a pinpoint of light just behind her eyes. Granting acceptance, she received the messages through her internal communicator. They scrolled across a screen she imagined in her mind, and she scanned each one quickly.

A note from a friend pleased her; junk announcements broadcast to everyone on the port irritated her. She killed

each one as soon as she had read far enough to identify it. The people who wrote them got cleverer and cleverer. Orca’s message bank contained a strong filter that was meant to discard most advertising and other solicitations. Some of the circulars had confused the program enough to make it let them through. Orca would have to rewrite it and strengthen
its criteria. The escalation never ended.
