Not the first time this has been tried to Asian Carp [0], other rebrands have included "silverfin" and "Kentucky Tuna" (yes really). Though apparently, some took legal issue with the latter [1].
Names like "Kentucky Tuna" are dangerous for public health safety reasons.
If you want to re-brand a freshwater fish, please use other freshwater fish names, don't let people to assume it's a saltwater fish which can be eaten raw or slightly cured.
Yeah, I’m a new Sonic customer and got their 10gbit service. $40/mo beats any of the other three providers pricing for much lower bandwidth.
However, I only have a gigabit router, so most of that isn’t utilized, assuming that’s true for all my neighbors as well (Sonic’s only offering here is 10gbit)
Just think of it as future proofing, like installing higher rated cabling in a house than you'll use initially. The cost isn't any more for you to have 10Gbit in this case, so for you it's just knowing that you could buy more equipment for your end at any time to use it if you needed, and not have to wait for a service change. :)
Perhaps where you drive is safer than where I do. I see dangerous driving multiple times a year and see recent accidents weekly (cars and cops on the side of the road).
According to the NTSB:
> "On the highways 100 people (are killed) a day," he said. "Every two days we are killing the equivalent of a Boeing 737 crashing. [0]
Obviously, not all directly a result of “insanely dangerous” driving (including the primary topic of that article). But, my definition would include driving that results in fatal accidents.
I would say it is insanely dangerous to put an unlicensed 13 year old behind the wheel of a 6000 lbs truck. Maybe the tire would have blown regardless of who was driving, but I have to suspect a 30+ year old construction worker would have better knowledge on how to safely bring a vehicle to a stop compared to a 13 year old kid.
> This is inaccurate. Even in mild symptom cases, vaccinated and unvaccinated infections harbour the same levels of viral load. The Delta variant is able to grow in the noses of vaccinated people to the same degree as if they were not vaccinated at all and both groups can unknowingly and unwittingly transmit the virus for 3 days before experiencing any symptoms in 75% of the Delta variant infections.
It's more nuanced than peak viral loads clearance rate is important. there is research suggesting that vaccines do reduce transmission, though that benefit may not last as long as one would hope.
The data is all over the place. There's this peer reviewed study stated:
> "By analyzing viral loads of over 16,000 infections during the current, Delta-variant-dominated pandemic wave in Israel, we found that BTIs in recently fully vaccinated individuals have lower viral loads than infections in unvaccinated individuals. However, this effect starts to decline 2 months after vacci- nation and ultimately vanishes 6 months or longer after vac- cination. Notably, we found that the effect of BNT162b2 on reducing BTI viral loads is restored after a booster dose. These results suggest that BNT162b2 might decrease the infectious- ness of BTIs even with the Delta variant, and that, although this protective effect declines with time, it can be restored, at least temporarily, with a third, booster, vaccine dose."
However, we also know that the viral loads are also very high in elders, in the obese, comorbidity as well as males. The drop in effectiveness happens the fastest in males, elderly and those with comorbidities.
Also expecting everyone to keep getting boosters every 2-6 months (Canada is allowing after 2 months) is entirely unreasonable.
There's other studies which found same viral loads in vaccinated vs unvaccinated even in mild cases (though it's not clear after what period did they perform the study).
Highly vaccinated Dane County in Wisconsin, US found no difference in viral loads when comparing unvaccinated to vaccinated infections, the viral load was consistent with the ability to shed infectious viruses.
Similarly, data from 36 Wisconsin counties found that both vaccinated and unvaccinated can transmit the infection. Infectious virus is found even in vaccinated when specimen Ct values are low, meaning mild cases in vaccinated individuals can spread the virus too.
Overall, there's no logical reasoning to not allow tests as a reasonable accommodation and not testing both vaccinated and unvaccinated if the goal is to prevent the spread of COVID.
Also these minute differences in viral loads for maybe 1 to 2 months after inoculation won't be sufficient to justify discrimination based on perceived disability.
Thunderstorms are likely rare in this location. Most of coastal California only experiences such storms less than once a year, depending on when they begin nesting any rain at all may not be common, as typically they is little rain from April to October.
