@LALegault Yikes. That should be off by default, @ivory.
I just checked, I don’t think @MonaApp does this.

@inthehands @Brad_Rosenheim I’m not going to fix that typo 😄

@inthehands @Brad_Rosenheim Our intercity passenger rail regularly gets delayed because there’s only one track and fright trains have priority…

The LRT in Ottawa was an enormous success… at convincing people they’d be better off taking they cars to work…

Every time I heard that Biden would go to work via Amtrak I would think, “How is that even possible?”

@inthehands @Brad_Rosenheim Oh, come to Canada…

@leigh There’s a setting called, laughably, “Smart Punctuation” - turning it off should fix your problem.

@erictopol @lisamelton Cool thing I learned about wastewater surveillance - There is a virus, pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), present in peppers that are used for hot sauces, etc.

According to Wikipedia, it “is consistently found in wastewater from around the world at concentrations greater than 1 million copies per milliliter of raw sewage” and so makes for a good water quality indicator (as it comes almost exclusively from human feces, is stable, and detection is straightforward) as well as a tool to normalize SARS-CoV-2 concentrations for wastewater tracking.
