@fumitoham Curious what you are showing?

It's impossible to overstate what a big deal this is. According to all the evidence shared publicly and reported so far, senior leaders in the SANDF conspired with Iran, Russia, the UAE, and China to disobey an order from Ramaphosa & nobody in any position did anything about it.

This calculus joke 😂

1 in 10 clinics across 6 provinces could soon hand out the 6-monthly #HIV prevention shot #LEN. Modelling shows it could end #AIDS in 14–18 years — if enough people use it. Who should get it first? bhekisisa.org/health-news-so…

We stand with @CheslinKolbe in these difficult times 😭

@murchandamus @lopp tests this regularly. I can't find it now.

I keep seeing the claim that IBD has significantly deteriorated in the past few years. Does anyone have an overview of what setups (hardware+software) were affected by this, and how this regression presented itself? Is there a write-up so I could understand how this was measured?
