This makes me think. Smallpox has been eradicated, via vaccination. Smallpox COULD be eradicated because of multiple specific factors:

*No animal nor environmental host - smallpox can't survive without an infected person

*Causes severe disease - people with smallpox are easily recognised so can be isolated

*Survivors have lifelong immunity.

For other infections, vaccines can be HIGHLY effective with no chance of eradication. Eradication isn't a test of vaccine usefulness.

@NorcalGma2 Years ago when my sister was living in Montana she went out hiking with her dogs. It had snowed and she wasn't sure where the trail was. She just followed her lab (named Sacajawea) and she led them back no problem. Labs know stuff.

Earlier this week, I took a lengthy hike up a mountain. That too was restorative. The clouds were doing amazing things. 2/

@Xorky

by 'beginning of this century' I assumed at first that you meant the early 1900s... but I guess you meant around 100 years later than that!
I'm still not used to it being the 21st century! 😆

Right on cue, upofadown is trying to defend PGP in the HN thread about the talk that included devastating 0days in PGP software.

And then He said “Yippee Kai Yay Motherfuckers” and all the Motherfuckers Yippee Kai Yayed.

Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?

Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about using this place! There's no such thing as a silly question, it's fine to ask about anything however simple.

I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people on here 🙂 And yes I am a human being, I don't use AIs!

(Alternatively, you can browse my website at https://fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand help and advice.)

@blogdiva Our tree has usually gone up the weekend after thanksgiving, but it all comes down Christmas Day. When it’s over, it’s over.

The fact that you can totally:
- rent your body for modeling
- rent your body for physical labor
- rent your brain for "skilled" labor

But it's illegal or "immoral" to:
- rent your body for modeling
- rent your body for physical labor
- rent your brain for "skilled" labor
if you add the words "while naked" to it

...is fucking ridiculous.

Nope.

Because Tom Cruise is white.
