@lukedashjr Twitter has done that a lot to me too.

"Southwest backs off plan to place unvaccinated employees on unpaid leave in December" https://news.yahoo.com/southwest-backs-off-plan-place-153400808.html

Remember that the massive numbers of cancelled flights that only affected Southwest were due to "weather".

...and now New Zealand...

Amazingly there are extreme left NZ politicians who want NZ to go back to their zero covid strategy. All the vulnerable have been vaccinated. Give it up.

tl;dr: zero covid was a gigantic waste.

Singapore is very close to 100% vaccinated; the remainder is almost all children too young to be vaccinated.

A friend of mine went to a festival a few weeks ago where over 100 people were infected out of 400 total. Only one hospitalization, and that person was in poor health. All the same, they got better quickly. Covid just isn't very dangerous to anyone young and reasonably healthy, vaccinated or not.

...though even more awful to wear than normal... Huge amount of dead space trapping CO2; kinda scary that the pilots are wearing this nonsense.

Funny enough, not all the flight attendants are. Some have simple cloth masks.

Weird to see an attempt at a bit of, like, actual science rather than virtue signaling.

@waxwing @ademan I haven't done any Python stuff lately, so I haven't looked at any of it.

Seed word schemes should use a dictionary containing only swear words, insults, and racial epithets to encourage people to keep their seed secret.
