It's been unseasonably warm in some parts (it was seventy last week and it's hovering around sixty every day this week so far) so it might not be entirely stupid! Just mostly.

"Outdoor dining structures" that are completely enclosed... are not outdoors? That's a building. It's the very definition of indoors.

People are doing a lot of magical thinking and have concluded that if there is a tent, with four walls, on the sidewalk outside a restaurant it is somehow safer than being inside the restaurant, as if Covid-19 needs to bounce off a non-concrete floor to infect you. But the regulations many places are written in such a manner that a fully enclosed tent counts as "outdoor dining", because it is not within a permanent structure.

gettin' covid all
over your posts

Half a lifetime ago, I worked for a university attached to a hospital in a semi-IT capacity, and one of my tasks was to build surveys for doctors to take about how they cared for patients with severe mental illnesses. Part of that task was to generate logins and passwords for each doctor, and I did so using common best practices at the time (no dictionary words, and include a number, a letter, and a special character). After I'd sent the first wave out, one of the doctors' admin assistants showed up at my office shortly after I'd distributed the logins and lectured me for fifteen full minutes about how doctors don't have the brain power to deal with a password that strong and how awful it was that I'd made passwords that they had to write down instead of using "simple words that they can just remember".

(I was told later that she'd been let go because she was having mental health issues of her own, of which those rants were a symptom... but I was also instructed by my boss to simplify the passwords. So I just stuck two random 4-letter dictionary words together with an exclamation point or question mark, sent them out with a note asking the doctors to change them ASAP, and hoped for the best. I admit that if the same thing happened now I'd be tempted to just make them all "hunter2".)

Seriously. I've had to explain to more than a few people that the reason I'm following the rules is not because I'm worried about getting in trouble, I'm following the rules because I don't want to get sick or get anyone else sick. So, no I dont want to come to a "business meeting at my house but we all bring booze, as we cant have a party but business meetings are allowed".

Oh hell, I figured the tents were there to give more space for distanced dining, not for that.

Every science teacher from 4th grade to college is all like: "Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell" and "Who can define H-Y-P-O-T-H-E-S-I-S?" like their entire class just time traveled from the 1400s.

Frog puns are toadally awesome


Saying mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell actually sort of obscures their function. Mitochondria produced the ATP that cell structures use to do work, but the energy release isn't in the mitochondria it's at the point of work when the ATP transfers a phosphate group to another molecule.

It always bothered me because it gives the impression that the mitochondria like a little hydroelectric dam producing energy that is radiated out to the rest of the cell structures but it's not. It's really more of a chemical converter that turns sugars into actually energy producing chemical.

I'm in Seattle, which has lovely weather and just banned indoor dining again, so several bars have set up tents that have walls on three sides. If this was normal times and I went out to eat and asked to be seated indoors I would get pissed at the hostess if they tried to put me in one of those.

I remember reading that a person produces and recycles their own body weight in ATP every day.
