So ask them to attach a printout. But I doubt that a case could be made for copyright infringement if they attached a PDF in an email to you, a PDF to which you already had unfettered institutional access.

I can’t see any possible grounds for a claim of copyright infringement. No need to copy entire books. Probably just the flyleaf with CIP data and ISBN would do in that case.

Fair use. And I’m assuming a university ecosystem in which all participants have access to the materials electronically anyway. (Or they make photocopies in the stacks, for that matter. Can such things still be done?!) If the instructor returns all the materials, to the student,

Have you considered requiring them to submit PDF copies of all works cited? Of the actual articles, rather than just the (potentially spurious) citations?

This is because conspiracies are common. The problem is that the real ones take effort to understand, and the phony ones distract people from grappling with the mechanics and implications of the real ones.

Chiefly it’s an intimidation tactic.

I’m a crunchy fan, but the kids won’t have it, so my revised opinion is, it doesn’t matter so long as it’s Mayver’s.

If you’re were wearing an N95 and the fit was good, I would think infection was unlikely. And wildfire smoke sure makes dx more difficult. Good luck!

I would suspect infection. Have you done a rapid test? Do you have access to a Pluslife or PCR? Do you have congestion? Were you wearing an N95? What about the injection site? Any inflammation or soreness? Is this the first time you’ve had Pfizer?

Thanks Denis. It’s creeping me out a little how both hemispheres seem to be noticing NB.1.8.1 rising quickly at about the same moment. I’ve noticed posts about upticks in wastewater in Seattle, Berlin, Montreal, and now Aus …. It’s like it’s breaking out all over, all at once. Or am I exaggerating?

That sounds horrible. Sounds like an autoimmune reaction. What makes you think the Spike is still there? (I’ll buy that your body might be reacting as if it were.)

Nope; that’s disinformation. Can happen with chronic COVID infection, though.

Brilliant poem. Thank you.

Greg, this just looks like a continuation of the infect-the-kids approach that you’ve rightly decried for years.

Exactly! It remains a bit of a collective-action problem. It can seem hard to build traction here. But things are so much more relaxed and there is so little toxicity in comparison.

Are those latter two numbers per annum also?

Thanks for this—I was about to message you and @embers1.bsky.social to see if it had a name yet!

Except as I recall the sample was really small and the study design poor, so it didn’t really show anything. A violation of ethical standards, and all for nought.
