Going down a very weird rabbit hole, seems people launched a study on TB vaccine boosters right at the start of the pandemic to see if it would help the elderly, trying to find the actual results which were supposed to be published in the journal Cell

There's a wsj editorial that references it and claims it was almost 80% effective... But I want to see the actual study.

Found the study, it's a bit of snake oil, but with all snake oil there's some truth. Long story short lots of people are arguing about this, and money to actually do something at the cheapest cost is always a motivation.

It will be the closes to the Earth that it has been in the last 56 years. If you would like to see it look in your eastern sky starting about 7:30pm and will work it's way across through the night. It can be seen with the naked eye but you can see the bands & spot with normal binoculars or a small telescope. It will be able to be viewed even with the light pollution of Los Angeles.

Well if it continues to try to learn from all humans it won't ever get past garbage in...

Anytime I hear the letters “AI”, it makes me think of Al Iafrate. Then it makes me think of how much “AI” could help A.I. with his hair in pictures!
