[15:09:57] <nutherguy> in fact, doubleplus ungood
[15:10:54] <FatPhil> erm, the first case of reinfection was about 2-3 months ago, i thought?
[15:11:36] <nutherguy> The difference here, they did genetic sequencing on the virus, to establish that a different strain had infected the man
[15:11:42] <joepublic> Story says he had no symptoms of the second "infection" other than a positive test
[15:12:20] <nutherguy> previous reinfections were based on "clinical features" rather than positive testing of the virus
[15:12:37] <joepublic> i.e. got sick twice :)
[15:12:45] <nutherguy> He said: “This is certainly stronger evidence of reinfection than some of the previous reports because it uses the genome sequence of the virus to separate the two infections. I
[15:13:33] <nutherguy> basically, the difference between circumstantial evidence vs proof positibe
[15:13:38] <nutherguy> positive
[15:14:36] <joepublic> well, in the second infection, the virus was present and a different genetic strain of it. But as the second infection had no symptoms, perhaps that is on the strength of the body's better fighting off the virus after the first infection?
[15:15:08] <joepublic> key quote there "we don’t know whether this person was infectious during their second episode"
[15:16:58] <nutherguy> lots of questions remain unanswered
[15:17:12] <joepublic> well put.
[15:17:23] <nutherguy> If anyone is left to write history books in 2100, there should be some answers in them

[16:12:06] <chromas> joepublic: the DRM is for the water filters. Gotta have official GE-authorized, overpriced water filters, or use a workaround, like buying an overpriced 'blank' filter whose RFID tag doesn't expire

[16:34:51] <AzumaHazuki> I just got a bunch of whole dry Indian spices, and have a small mortar/pestle set and cheesecloth coming from Amazon. This is going to be the year of curry :9
[16:35:22] <AzumaHazuki> that cheesecloth will let me make fresh vegetarian acid-set cheese from just water and cider vinegar
[16:35:42] <joepublic> protip, that's not cheese :)
[16:37:21] <AzumaHazuki> er, milk and vinegar, sorry. mistyped
[16:37:48] <joepublic> oh! thought it was some vegan thing, and I was actually wondering where the protein was coming from. Sorry, brain space.
[16:38:55] <AzumaHazuki> this acid-set stuff is how they do it in India, and it turns out a pressure cooker or instant pot is perfect for getting the milk ready
[16:44:37] <joepublic> hot-but-not-scorched
[16:46:08] <AzumaHazuki> yup. i'm buying the cheapest things i can that are still good quality and healthy to use. this may be my last year alive if things go wrong so i'm going to do what i love (in a financially responsible manner)
[16:49:24] <joepublic> That doesn't sound like a great mental nor physical health place to be. Good to see you are doing something positive and encouraging.
[16:52:33] <AzumaHazuki> oh, i'm in a better place than at any time in the last 7+ years
[16:53:07] <AzumaHazuki> but the country is imploding. if things go badly wrong we could very well see another civil war and/or widespread food shortages
[16:53:25] <joepublic> That's fantastic to hear, actually, except for the imploding country part, which I have also noted.
[16:54:29] <AzumaHazuki> I moved to Buffalo's lower west side. I can walk to the peace bridge in 15 minutes or so. if everything goes to hell i'll try and walk over said bridge and ask for asylum
[16:54:38] <AzumaHazuki> but if even that fails...
[16:56:02] <joepublic> You can practice saying things like "Hockey night in Canada, eh"
[17:01:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> keep in mind you can probably get deported for not being polite enough up in the land of unholy bacon
[17:02:16] <joepublic> "Please don't throw me into the canadian briar patch"
[17:03:53] <AzumaHazuki> Canadian bacon rules all. bite your togue, blasphemer
[17:07:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> see, now that may work. getting deported to up north for defaming real bacon.
[17:12:23] <joepublic> Needs work. I don't think Canadians say "blasphemer" and such

[20:47:13] <FatPhil> You do realise they were a different party back then?
[20:57:22] <joepublic> I don't think "which party" or whether they were "same" as a current party is the point of the article, from reading it; rather, just a possibly interesting case study of attempted vote-by-mail fraud.
