There were a couple: Dec 2021 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8702434/

but also a counterpoint https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9111207/

a run down of 3 theories (un detected evolution and transmission, long infection of an AIDS patient, or animal spillover) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8757324/

A good web search is "omicron mouse origin" and you'll see a bunch of papers and articles that are interesting

Reply to A Swedish study found elite male soccer players are 1.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease compared to population controls. A previous study from Scotland suggested that soccer players were 3.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease. by Wagamaga

I also wonder what the "base rate" of neurodegenerative disease would be in this population WITHOUT headers. These is a group of healthy athletic people with good cardiovascular health so you would expect they would have a better base neurodegenerative disease rate. That 1.5x rate could be even worse if this cohort would in a vacuum have better brain health.

Reply to comment by bostonronin in Maker Spaces around Cambridge? by [deleted]

It's called The Hive and It was easy to get safety certified on their zoom class but I've been waiting for a long time tryin to get a space to get certified on a specific device.

It's free and convenient which makes it a bit over-subscribed. I'd get the process started with the safety training and then try to get certified on the tools when you can

Say "I've been locked out of my account for 3 months and waiting for a call back has not worked, its time to bring in the next level of support please"

repeat until you get someone higher, call back same day if need be

Escalate to the next level manager. Here's a script that might help:

Hi, When I try to log in the web site says my account is disable and to contact you. I have tried this multiple times since November and my account is still locked and I have not received any call backs or letters any time I have contacted you.

Can you help me or escalate me to the next level to fix this issue?

If they say "we'll call you in 3 days", request a higher level supervisor and try not to take "no" as an answer.

Let them try to see what the problem is, later on in the call, perhaps confirm the address / phone number / email address they have for your account.

If you have to wait for a 3 day call again for some reason, get a name from the person and a call id for this support call or something, and then in 3 days calls back with that additional information and say "I've tried again and they were not able to help me, please escalate this"

Good luck.

I wonder if they have an old phone number and postal address for you.

Reply to Can I drill a hole in this door, and are there open/closable hole caps I can add to both sides? by rolliejoe

What type of battery are you using? Most batteries worth charging with a solar panel will outgas exploding gases when charging.

If you are using a smaller SLA (sealed lead acid) battery I’d wonder if this project is worth it at all.

What is your main goal?

What sized solar panel are you using?

What sized and what type battery?

There were some strong wind gusts this morning, around 25/30 MPH in some places, maybe the wind was shaking your house?
