[Late Update] The fish 3.5.0 release is not responsible for my tmux issue. False alarm. Downgrading did somehow help me regain shell interaction, but I can't create a new session/pane, etc. I think something else broke my tmux se

This killed all shell interaction within my tmux setup, somehow, and I had to downgrade in osx/brew [1] back to v3.4.1 [2]. I'm still wondering what part of my (probably outdated) tmux config caused it, but the most suspicious pa

You should still get vaccinated. Post-infection immunity is very heterogeneous, with respect to what level of protection you'll have, and how long it will last. You might have great protection for a bit, or you might get reinfected j

The mRNA vaccines were developed to target the spike protein of the Alpha variant. We got lucky it works so well against Delta, or else they would have had to roll out a new vaccine. Based on your wording, it sounds like you have the mista

So it's a white lie, at most, because he was always accurate. He stayed within the "real range" of 70-90, but he varied based on what people could tolerate hearing. If he said 70-90%, then people may only hear 90 and think n

The long-term safety is an angle that sounds reasonable, but isn't, and is used as an anti-vax talking point. A doctor is expected to know better. First, historically, no vaccine has caused adverse effects beyond about 2 months. Secon

It is true/correct. It's much easier to measure hospitalizations rather than infection, and the #s in the real world confirmed the advertised effectiveness from the trial, for Alpha.

1) CSV can often be human readable at a glance (more so than most other formats, depending on that data), and that makes it appear deceptively simple and compact. Possibly due to that, I'd bet most of us have been bit by a writer&#x2F
