    Yes it is.

    Batch 1 or 2?

    Batch 2.  I've heard great things and I can't wait to try it myself.

     

    My liquor store buddy also said a 14 year should be released very soon.

    I live in Georgia and joined Wild Fork so I would have a consistent supply of dino ribs, but lately it has been hard finding consistent prime grade briskets here.  How many briskets have you ordered from Wild fork and has the quality and size been consistent?  Have you only tried their choice or have you tried the prime as well?

    A lot of my work calls today were with people(or their friends and family)who have tested positive in the last week.  Surge going on for sure.  I was getting Delta type vibes from the amount of people telling me about their COVID situation. Haven’t talked this much about it in quite a while.  Good news is I haven’t heard of anyone having very serious symptoms.  

    Ugh you activated my PTSD with the Delta vibes.  We are a long way from that and hopefully we never go back there again.

    Lots of cool stuff out there.  We've been making it work for 12 years.  We've got our system down.  In 10 years we'll be Mexicans.  We're just gonna keep on keeping on with what we know.

    UAF has a cold climate housing research center you might be interested in.

    Thanks.  I want to reiterate what others have said.  This is one of the most interesting and informative threads on the board.  Thanks for the contribution and keep it up!  You should start a YouTube Vlog and retire 5 years earlier with your patreon money.

    God damnit stopping talking in code.  Where did they shit the bed?

    Sorry for the cancer website but it does a good job laying out the problems.

    The huge advantage the big pharma companies have is vertical integration.  Just look what Pfizer has pulled off with Paxlovid. There are only a couple of companies in the world that could have pulled that off and started manufacturing at scale as fast as they did.

    There were issues that held them up and it had nothing to do with not partnering with a large pharma.

    Their main issues are supply line driven.  As much shit as big pharma gets, one thing they do incredibly well is securing supply lines.  WIth their tremendous resources you can rest assured that they are going to outcompete root beer manufacturers for supplies.

    Appears that they would have provided a competitive alternative for certain segments of the population. No "gene therapy" rhetoric nonsense to worry about, a relatively well established technology, etc. But the adjuvants drive some of real pre-COVID anti-vaxxers absolutely nuts, so who knows. 

    Unfortunately I know people who are holding out for this vaccine for that exact reason.  It would have been helpful to have another option using technology that has been used for decades in other established vaccines.

    Novavax's vaccine is a protein subunit vaccine, basically delivers the spike directly unlike the mRNA and vector technologies that deliver the genetic material that codes for the spike.

     

     

    Will these dickheads ever come to market?  If they had swallowed their pride and partnered with a large pharmaceutical company like BioNTech did they would be swimming in $100 bills right now.

    Don't those generally take up more room than conventional stoves?  In a 400-foot cabin, that might be an issue.  

    It depends. You can build them to your specs obviously, and masonry heaters work really well too and are essentially using the same concept.  It might be a great option for a garage where you have more space but don't want to burn up a lot of wood.  You have to fire it once a day with just a couple of logs and it would heat the area for the entire day with little intervention.

    We cut all of our own firewood.  We are slowly clearing the trouble trees from around the cabin and cutting a fire break.  Forest fire is my biggest fear, but we don't want to clear cut so we only take 5 or 6 of those trees every Spring and then assess the view/situation.  Beyond that we make a right turn out of our driveway and cut wood with impunity.  We literally live at the end of the road.  Exactly 1 mile from my front door is a ridge that when you drop on the other side of you are on your own.  No cell service, no roads, nothing but trails and wilderness.  You are likely to see anything out there...bears, wolves, moose, caribou.  It's an amazing place that we hike, wheel, and snow machine often.

    We have a 35 ton log splitter but I try to split everything I can by hand with an 8 pound maul.  It's my gym membership.  My wife mainly uses the splitter.  She is horrible at splitting wood by hand.  It takes the two of us all spring and summer to bring in 10 cords.  We split it once, stack and cover it.  It then sits for 2 years to cure.  We try to have it all brought in and stacked before September 1 (the first day of the general rifle season for moose).  At that time we have 3 stacks of 10 cords each.  The one that is used for the upcoming winter, cured 2 years.  A stack that has cured 1 year and will be used next winter.  And the green stack that will cure and be used in 2 winters.

    That's amazing and probably keeps you in better shape than 99% of the population.  

    Have you ever considered installing a rocket mass heater?  Supposedly they use a fraction of the wood, burn way more efficiently, reduce the risks of chimney fires, and are much easier to maintain.

    I've even heard of people incorporating piping in them so they could generate hot water.

    I'm sure this was answered far upthread, but gotta ask again.  

    After close-contact alerts in September and October (I was double-vaxxed back then), my IgM & IgG were both negative at two clinical/PCR tests.  Did some at-home tests in November and December before family gatherings, including getting boosted.  But after another close-contact in January, I've been tested twice this month in a clinical setting with PCR as well.  Now, my IgM is still negative, but both results have flipped to IgG-Positive.  What would cause the IgG flip from negative to positive?  

    Are you sure you had an antibody test?  The way you are describing things is a bit vague.  If you are vaxxed you should be IgG positive for Spike (S).  If you also recovered from infection then you will also be IgG positive for N (nucleocapsid).  If you were vaxxed only then the N antibody test was positive.

    Remember that PCR and in home tests won't give you an antibody status as they are detecting the pathogen directly, and are not measuring your immune response.

    I read that omicron was different enough from delta and older strains that delta antibodies won't protect you from it. Also studies show natural antibody levels are lower than vaccinated levels. 

    Omicron significantly evades antibody responses both from vaccination and infection with prior variants, but the T cell responses still offer good protection from serious illness.  Recovery from the virus should provide a broader range of T cell responses compared to vaccination.
