Montague makes various full sized folding bikes. I’m quite pleased with the Navigator, but they even make a folding mountain bike, the Paratrooper. When unfolded, you can’t tell at all that they’re folding bikes.

It’s expected that conflicts of interest be disclosed in journalism and things like this. Instead he actively worked to hide his conflict of interest.

So people can work from home, is probably the most common reason. And many companies probably don’t consider themselves a likely target until after it happens.

On a similar note: The period leading up to the Black Death in Europe was a warmer climate than usual, allowing agriculture to expand and populations to explode. Deforestation was widespread as agriculture expanded. There is a theory that t

Yes, but it’s only more efficient than testing everybody if you are unlikely to get a positive result. So, in places where covid is not widely spreading.

Sorry, but you are wrong. This would no more violate the ADA than random drug testing (legal) or requiring temperature checks, which some employers are already doing to protect against COVID-19. Also, the ADA is not a constitutional amendme

Mutation is not the only factor determining how often a vaccine would be given. If antibodies only last a year from the vaccine dose, it should still be given yearly, even if the virus has not mutated.

Is this project still active? I remember seeing this years ago, but it seemed like the developer walked away from it. I would really like to have the ability to install asetniop on Linux, and have the layout be configurable.

I'll second comstock's reply that this won't work for all kids. Picking my 2-year old up mid-tantrum would just make him try to fling himself backward out of my arms and potentially get hurt from falling.
