Best slam in a while: I go to check out at CVS and realize they have self check out kiosks right next to the cashiers. So I ask the 60 year old cashier “Would you be crushed if I use this instead of you?” She goes “No. I’ll just look at my app when you come on tonight at 5”

The pandemic has made it clear that most people don’t understand the scientific process. I’m hearing a lot of “well the CDC changed their mind on...” Yes! That’s the essential strength of science: More data, studies, research can shape or change a hypothesis.
