This website has a tracker for the Voyager population. Not sure of the accuracy since there is no mention of poor “Ensign Ricky”.

Why does this sound like the intro to “The Terminator”?

This is a good callout, and it is true that most hand sanitizers are not effective against norovirus.

However, at the risk of sounding like an advertiser which is not my intent, there are some higher grade sanitizers out there that do kill norovirus. One is called “Prime Defense” and was originally developed for cruise ships and restaurants where norovirus outbreaks are a major concern. Companies are not allowed to advertise kill of specific pathogens like norovirus for products regulated by the FDA, hence why it is not advertised as killing norovirus (hand sanitizer is an over-the-counter drug regulated by FDA).

Washing your hands properly with soap and water is still an effective way to reduce risk of norovirus.

Your second sentence made me think of this.

Parts of my thesis were definitely written with “Goodbye Horses” on loop (you know from that one scene in Silence of the Lambs). Not sure what that says about my vibes in grad school.

A pound of peanut butter is around 2600 calories. A pound of Nutella is about 2400 calories. Honestly not as bad as I thought initially.

1 to 2 pounds a week is 370 to 740 calories per day. Eating that much peanut butter for a week or so wouldn’t be too hard, but keeping that rate up consistently would be tough.

I was curious about this too. From random web searching (Syfy.com), the sun is 200,000 times brighter than the moon in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

It looks like the 91% natural ingredients version has benzyl alcohol as a preservative which is typically synthetically derived and in my experience can drastically shift the bio-based ratio.

As far as I can see, the rest of the ingredients are the same, but the sourcing of those ingredients could be different which could also shift the naturally derived percentage.

Found out yesterday that a McDouble is $3.49 here which is crazy to me.

Can’t rule out that the furnace is dying—might be carbon monoxide poison you are experiencing.

“No garage, one space” in Wisconsin winters sounds fun!
