Nice! Thanks for posting. It reminds me of a Rumi saying - “Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.”

Hey Jess! This is so wild. It’s amazing that we can remember such little details that allow us to remember people from so long ago. I am still in touch with Alex and I’ll forward your email to him for sure! And I look at that class photo and remember so many people I haven’t thought of in a long time. It’s great to get in touch with those amazing childhood memories.

Well, Doc, it's a horribly grainy picture, but my guess is the girl in the front row with the Dorothy ruby red slippers and blue socks. Would that be in character for you? The little kid in the front row with the red and white striped polo looks like the rebellious kid we need now; he might be a dissident.

I reached out to an old friend a few days ago. She's a doctor in Texas. Hopefully she gets back to me at some stage.

that happened to me on FB about a decade ago. I was really into dinosaur paleontology in the 90s and early 2000s (got my degrees in geology), and when I was 15 met a group of other teens on a dig. We bonded, and met up every summer to dig fossils with this Montana-based museum. Fast forward 15 years later. I'd kept in touch with only two of them- this was before social media and cell phones, and letters could only take you so far. One day I was writing a Happy Birthday note on my college freshman year roommates page. I clicked "post," then noticed a note right below mine...from one of the guys I'd lost touch with! Turns out his wife worked with my college friend. Then, we apparently we both emailed the mutual friend at the same time asking how she knew each of us. We've reconnected and have been in touch ever since. I hate FB now, but thankful it allowed us that!

How lean and healthy all the children look in that photo. The difference in children then and now is worrisome.

Hey, do you have a one time donation/payment option? I looked at the available options, it didn't seem to be there.

"I am so grateful for this platform. " So am I, Jessica. I just found your stack and I have to compliment you on using a darker background with white text. It makes the threading so much easier to see. On most stacks here, there's a white background and it's hard to see which comment a participant is answering in a thread. Your setup is very thoughtful, and I appreciate it.

"I am grateful for these psychopaths trying to take control of humanity and digitize them with their social credit score nonsense." Well, it's a little more complicated (or simple, it depends, but I don't want to get ahead of myself).

"Dollard des Ormeaux - a suburb of Montreal," so it can be assumed that you can speak and understand French well enough... GREAT. (For my part, I am Swiss, we are supposed to be able to get by with French).

And to the point: time to *catch up* with the humanities, Jessica. Let me recommend this one-hour podcast with Annie Lacroix-riz, where The most interesting part starts in the first third of the podcast. (As Annie Lacroix-Riz notes, "the study of history, although it still doesn't guarantee you'll become smarter, at least it allows you to die less stupid," 'you' intended in the third person.)

Completely off topic from the post, but I know someone who works with health data in Ontario and they posted this link to highlight the danger of Omicron. Can you decipher how or where they got their data and how it does or does not support the models they've created?

The OST publishes their stuff here: https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/ It’s generally very fear-oriented, poorly backed-up, and just plain wrong (according to critical reviewers not biased by government jobs). But their evidence (if any) will be in the PDF package they publish, so you can definitely have a look to see what you think.

Ok, thanks for the link. Where would I find a critical review or two of the OST report?
