Travel bans have never yet kept a variant out - yet are extremely damaging & may discourage countries from sharing data & cases. In the past, they've also lingered long past their usefulness.
We must be strategic about what works (test, trace, restrictions, vax), not reactionary.

Busy day analyzing data, trying to get reagents, writing reports, presenting at Africa CDC, etc. Got info that >75% of cargo to South Africa is on the 'belly' of commercial/passengers airplanes. This means if commercial airplanes not flying 75% of our cargo is lost 1/2

US travel bans on southern African countries because of the omicron variant of COVID, are becoming increasingly ridiculous.
Apparently someone at @github accidentally loaded a cert for registry.github.com on the main site...

@bengoldacre There is something strange with some characters on (at least some) posts on your site. e.g badscience.net/2011/03/why-d… (I looked like an encoding error, but I can't find an encoding that render correctly (It might be different encoding for different parts))

Speakers of languages with little or no grammatical distinction between the present and the future smoke less and save more money for retirement.

"my laundry machine uses gigabytes of traffic every day" is another one of those fun things we can say now that we live in The Future™
Keeping the smart TVs off your network might be a good idea...
Well, this is slightly terrifying.
Opening a malicious link on *any* device on your LAN can fully compromise an LG Smart TV.
This is thanks to some new tricks found by @informaticTwitt, which allows the RootMyTV exploit chain to be triggered via any web browser on the same LAN.

One of the reasons that non-smart TVs make sense. (the also don't become a security risk once they are unsupported). A raspberry pi or android stick gives the "smart" functionality in a cheaper to upgrade way.

I work in IT, which is the reason our house has:
- mechanical locks
- mechanical windows
- routers using OpenWRT
- no smart home crap
- no Alexa/Google Assistant/...
- no internet connected thermostats

This looks quite strange. Would this be a partial depressurisation?

Seems like a slow depressurisation. I thought the masks would deploy automatically.... I did not know that pressurisation can cause this type of (light) injuries.
