    #TIL (Today I learned): Kell blood groups / Kell red blood cell antigens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kell_antigen_system after I came across an article suggesting that UK King Henry VIII's reproductive issues and his later behavior and physical symptoms may have been caused by Kell antigens and the related McLeod syndrome

    I am coming to believe that #DataCamp's courses may be too simplistic. I'm still in my first one (hoping to finish it tonight), but if you're new to the topic, it may not have the information you need to gain a basic understanding. And it can be somewhat fast paced for such learners. If you're somewhat familiar already, their toy terminal for lesson exercises is aggravating because it expects only specific commands. In some cases, there's another command that can accomplish the same task ... and that is an error.

    I'm not negating them. I still think they can be useful as part of a self-training program in which you use multiple sources to learn a particular skill.

    The lake is shrinking, but still impassable for pedestrians. I've altered my daily walking path due to the water. There are two others along my normal daily path, but they are smaller and can be avoided by crossing over to the other side of the street. They are also shrinking, so if there's no rain for another day or two, I should be able to do the usual path again.

    #USGS reports #earthquake on the island of #Hawaii, #HI. Originally rated M6.3, it has been revised down to M5.7.

    Pager is green, with 0 estimated casualties and < USD$1M estimated economic damage. This was adjacent to the coast, but no #tsunami expected.

    I'm no expert on cookware, but I'm starting to prefer stainless steel. I'm going to rely on the oil to prevent sticking, so I don't need fragile plastic coatings.

    I will look into ceramic coated stainless steel, but for now I just use pure stainless. (There's probably a better quality if you're willing to pay for it. The most recent pan I bought was under $40 for one and it seems to work fine.

    Granted, I try to cook with lowered heat anyway, so I am not concerned about melting or loosening the coating.

    After rumors fly on social sites, school superintendent in Chippewa Falls #WI issues statement about an incident at the middle school.

    Not satisfying to read, as they're saying that they alone can decide whether parents have enough information to allow them to take protective actions over their children. If this happened locally, I would support an effort to recall the school board for this.

    You don't have to use inflammatory language, just say that you have information about a possible threat, and that the police are actively involved in ensuring safety. Concealing these things just teaches parents not to trust you.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    There is a lake at the end of the street. This area of !SoCal did not get anywhere near the rain that the #Los_Angeles area got, but it is still a poor drainage zone.

    @geniusmusing Thanks for posting this. The Spinners were a favorite group in the 1970s and the Midnight Special was a regular Friday night event. I remember watching them doing that song.

    In before some weirdo claims viruses donโ€™t exist (โ€œviruses have never been isolatedโ€) or are spontaneously generated once someone is already sick.

    Yes, I seriously have seen people online making those very arguments.

    One day Iโ€™m going to find out what the H and N numbers are in flu viruses, and whether it is just the A versions that have them. I know there are also influenza B and influenza D but we really donโ€™t hear much about them. I donโ€™t think they mutate as quickly as the A versions do.

    Iโ€™ve heard a lot about bird flu over the past few years. It may be the reason that USDA and state agriculture departments have been culling home and farm fowl โ€ฆ but Iโ€™m not positive that Influenza A #H5N1 is the disease behind the culls.

    @clacke We have a lightly regulated and lightly mixed market. Not as regulated as I would like for sure.

    Definitely not a #free_market, because #USDoJ does not break up monopolies / oligopolies / monopsonies / oligopsonies aggressively enough. And very limited safety net.
