    Without the EUA it can’t be marketed. Doesn’t matter though, since they’re not making it anymore and existing lots have expired. I think the end of the EUA was previously discussed here. Looks like mRNA won out.

    Can You Stand on One Leg for 10 Seconds? What that Tells You About Your Overall Health Details of the study The recent study included 1,702 participants, aged 51 to 75, with an average age of 61. About two-thirds of the participants were men. Researchers asked the participants to stand on one leg. The front of the free leg rested on the back of the opposite lower leg. Their arms were by their sides and their gaze straight ahead. Participants were allowed up to three attempts and were allowed to use either leg. About 20 percent of the participants were unable to complete the task, with that number increasing with age: 5 percent of participants between 51 and 55 failed 8 percent of those between 56 and 60 failed 18 percent of those between 61 and 65 failed About 37 percent of those 66 to 70 failed 54 percent of participants between 71 and 75 failed After accounting for age, sex, and underlying health conditions, the inability to stand one-legged for 10 seconds was associated with an 84 percent heightened risk of all-cause death over a median follow-up period of 7 years. Believe it or not, I practice this most days. I usually don't do it to exhaustion, I get bored after a minute and stop. “It is important to remember,” said Lubetzky, “that the study found a correlation, not a cause-and-effect relationship.” “Typically, a person in their 50s should be able to balance on one leg for around 40 seconds. Someone in their 60s is looking at 20 seconds, and someone in their 70s is around 10 seconds,” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/can-you-stand-on-one-leg-for-10-seconds-what-that-tells-you-about-your-overall-health#Details-of-the-study

    @Jon said in Heh: @Doctor-Phibes said in Heh: I've just been out on mine, fellow knobheads. It turns out that Rhode Island has a lot more hills than Massachusetts. I’ll be on mine after lunch. But I try not to wear the bike jersey, then you look like a guy riding a bike rather than that guy riding a bike. I like the jersey, as it's bright green which alerts American motorists to the presence of somebody doing exercise. I tend to go out at 7am anyway, again to avoid motorists, and our new place is right at the edge of the countryside. I probably saw about 4 cars on the 90 minute ride this morning - it's all farms and stables and stuff out there.

    There's nothing wrong with midwits going to school, but when the school indoctrinates them into a good vs evil cultural and political perspective, and that perspective happens to be stupid and anti-social, the indoctrinated midwits become a problem. Education doesn't have to equal indoctrination, but these days it unfortunately does.

    Well worth the time. We're just not aware that things like this are still taking place, even here. Lola's story after she came to live at the author's house rather reminded me of my beloved MIL, who became the woman of the house at thirteen, upon her mother's death. She could never be convinced to stop taking care of her family and found joy in the work of it.
