I have tried every steak preparation method both by myself and at some of the so called "best restaurants". To me nothing tastes better than a properly seared steak after 60-90 minutes sous vide. Again to each their own.

I don't see how Sous Vide tastes like Roast unless you are keeping your meat for very long hours under high temps. Either way to each their own.

Looks great. Almost a sous vide result.

It's not like Israel as been electing angels every year. They literally keep electing the most right wing factions possible in their Government. The only difference between Hamas and the far right government that Netanyahu governs is that the latter has nukes and one of the most well armed terrorists on the planet they call the IDF, while the Palestinian terrorists are armed with firecrackers.

That's my porch on a normal Wednesday.

Yea I don't fly either. Instead when I have to travel overseas, I take a large diesel cruise ship. That'll show 'em!

What's worse is they also make certain elements in the UI deliberately "touch friendly" that could impair a K+M experience.

The Quest 1 will continue to work just fine. It won't be getting any further updates. In a world where VR development is going to a break neck pace, and with all the costs that entails it is really not unreasonable.

The whole point of the Meta account was to stop forcing you from using your doxxed Facebook account. Why was that a negative?

What's with all the negativity? Quest 1 is ancient in VR tech terms. The fact they supported updates with new features for four years is better than most cell phone companies.

No way a social media company controlled by the CCP in China is worth twice as much as SpaceX.

Yes

Roy Shaposhnik:I am an Israeli living in Europe. I never served in any role in the Israeli intelligence services," Shaposhnik told me. "I don’t have any knowledge of the events that took place in Jordan or of the people involved. I am a close personal friend of Prince Hamzah."

Shaposhnik, 41, was a political operative in the centrist Kadima party in Israel 15 years ago. He served as an adviser to then Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Later he went to the private sector and worked for U.S. businessman Erik Prince's security company. After several years he established his own company, RS Logistical Solutions, which provided services to the U.S. State Department and other governments around the world. Shaposhnik’s company also provided logistical services to Prince’s company as it was training Iraqi soldiers in Jordan. This is when he met Prince Hamzah through a mutual friend. The pair and their families became close friends.

The middle east is so polarized, that democracies only are bringing out extremism. That's what Israel has Netenyahu for 20+ years. Muslim countries would be electing the same level of extremism, like the Iranian Ayatollahs. Don't think it would solve one thing.

Who is forbidding them? The Western wall is entirely manned by Jewish worshippers. What they want to do is demolish the Aqsa mosque, which is one of the three most holly mosques in Islam, along with Mecca and Medina, for almost 1400 years.

I always want the death penalty for people who commit the most henious crimes, like this guy:

But then I hear stories like this that reminds me that no matter what, this justice system always fails some in the worst way possible.

Surprised by Tennessee. I thought they had 2 year free community college that would bring their average down.

Results

There were 228 subjects who had samples collected between 7 and 150 days after their primary series vaccine and 117 subjects who had samples collected in the same time frame after their boost. Antibody levels from 7 to 31 days after the primary series and booster were similar, but S-RBD IgG was more durable over time after the boost, regardless of prior infection status. In addition, mRNA-1273 post-boost antibody levels exceeded BNT162b2 out to 5 months.

Conclusion

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine boosters increase antibody durability, suggesting enhanced long-term clinical protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with the 2-shot regimen.

By contrast, in the late time interval, IgG levels after the booster mRNA vaccine were approximately 3-fold higher (GM, 29.1 µg/mL [95% CI, 24.3-34.9]) compared with the primary series vaccination (GM, 9.5 µg/mL [95% CI, 8.1-11.1]) (P < .001) (Fig 2A). We then confirmed that there was a difference in trajectories between the booster and primary series by evaluating subjects who had paired early and late samples available. Linear regression indicated a slower IgG decay after the booster compared with the primary series vaccination, with respective slopes of −0.0024 (95% CI, −0.0037 to −0.0012) vs −0.0074 (95% CI, −0.0083 to −0.0065) (P < .001) (Fig 2B).
