Reply to comment by holaprobando123 in New evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ immunity, the result of both vaccination and a bout of COVID-19, can provide partial protection against reinfection for at least eight months. Immunity acquired by booster vaccination alone seems to fade somewhat faster. by MistWeaver80
Me, who always wear a mask around coworkers: “I’ve never had COVID”
“How is that possible??”
“I always wear a mask”
“That’s dumb. A mask isn’t going to help you. You will get it eventually. I’ve had COVID 4 times.”
“Do you wear a mask?”
“No”

Reply to comment by Don_Ford in The bivalent mRNA boosters from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were 48% effective against symptomatic infection from the predominant omicron subvariant (XBB/XBB.1.5) in persons aged 18-49 years according to early data published by the CDC by shiruken
So where is the Novavax studies against XBB1.5?

Currently the going rate on Blue Origin is around 1.2m. They plan to bring it down to 200k eventually.

Reply to comment by Zeal514 in Wind power is built at an increasing pace but its effect on nature and animals is poorly known. Researchers investigated the impact of wind turbines on bat presence and activity in Finnish boreal forests. The results indicate that wind power repels bats and drives them away from important habitats. by universityofturku
This links to a whole bunch of studies for your reading pleasure:

Birds killed from Wind Turbines: 1 million per year.
Birds killed by cats: 2.4 billion. Windows: 800 million. Vehicles: 200 million. Power line collisions: 25 million.
But let’s get rid of the Wind Turbines…

Just wait until you order new Astro equipment. The week while it ships you'll have perfectly clear skies.
The day it arrives - record cloudy days for 30 straight days - just enough to extend beyond your new equipment's return window.
