Unrelated but I really wish there were an easier way to read PDFs on mobile devices.

Doesn't show on Ventusky: https://www.ventusky.com/?p=49.4;7.8;5&l=pm25&t=20230620/060...

This would be such a great use case for an LLM.

Do you have a specific issue with one of this takes?

35-40 minutes, perfect distance. Not too far to meet up for a meal, but too far for drop-ins.

I was adding context to OP's statement that "No serious climate scientist thinks we are going to fall off a cliff". If 60% of the most influential climate scientists expect the world to warm >= 3°C, and one believes (like I do) that >=3°C of warming constitutes a "cliff", then OP's statement is incorrect.

Nature did a poll of IPCC authors (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02990-w) and 60% of them expect the world to warm >= 3°C.

This sounds interesting, whereabouts?

Nobody said that threading the needle was easy.

I totally agree, he definitely downplays or under-appreciates the possible severity of climate change.

Yes. Interesting counterpoint from Scott Alexander: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/please-dont-give-up-on...

Interesting. I'm a pharmacist too. Still working in pharmacy?

Deduplicating and/or removing repackaged labels might clean that up a bit. How did you get interested in doing this?

How is this any better than just searching DailyMed? Also, it's not returning generic drug labels when using a brand name (see: 'Avastin' vs 'bevacizumab' searches).

Scary headline, but means absolutely nothing: “The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (EUA labeled product) is currently being shipped; however, please be advised that the COMIRNATY and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine have the same formulation and can be used interchangeably. They are made using the same processes, and there are no differences between them in safety or effectiveness.”

tl;dr - it's just the non-branded Pfizer vaccine.

For example?

I actually did a double take, turns out today isn't April 1st and this is real. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

This is extremely misleading. The amount of tris in a single vaccine dose is miniscule compared to a therapeutic dose used as an alkalinizing agent.

I don't think that's what OP was getting at...

How do you propose one plan to live life without a fossil-fuel based economy? Bunker in the woods with 30 years of canned food? I'm not being facetious, just cannot even imagine where one would even start.

AKA an energy trap, see: https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2011/10/the-energy-trap/

Comparatively bad weather and it's already expensive.

Informatics pharmacist.

The Fall of Civilizations is great.

That's not how this works at all.

Given how long these problems have been staring us in the face, it's truly hard not to be totally pessimistic about the future. If we haven't changed yet, do we even have the capacity to do so?

Miserable how?
