A medical study published in Nature, indicates transmission of Alzheimer's Disease is possible between people. The transmission material appears to be an Amyloid Beta protein, found to be prevalent in Cadaver sourced human growth hormone from deceased who were infected with CJD. That c-HGH was used to treat living patients, prior to development of synthetic HGH.
No known transmission vector exists for any other cases of #alzheimers .
Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.
Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

A team of social scientists at the Social Change Lab, in the U.K., working with a sociologist from the University of South Carolina, has found evidence to support what has come to be known as "the positive radical flank effect"—where protests by radical groups lead to more support for less radical groups.
Glad to say I voted recently, and I sincerely hope #Kamala wins.
If there is one thing I can say that is important, something i've yet to see in politics in the last few decades:
Be humble in victory, also don't forget to be gracious in defeat.
This is nation is more divided now than i've seen in my nearly half century of existence. Who wins or loses matters not if the country is the one taking the hit and people put too much importance in the non-substantive rhetoric being tossed around..
