Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- China’s $2.3 Trillion Infrastructure Plan Puts America’s to Shame. "More than half the projects will directly support the manufacturing and service industries."
- You'll Go Blind If You Keep Doing That: Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Linked to Serious Eye Problems. "The risk of vision loss for users of medication like Viagra and Cialis appears to be small, but might prompt added warning labels."
- Pioneering Sci-Fi Writer Octavia Butler Joins a Pantheon of Futurists. "The author’s career is honored by a newly commissioned work by digital artist Nettrice Gaskins."
- This Man Does Not Make Poppers. "For decades, poppers have been the go-to sex drug for gay men. But where do they come from?"
- John Adams - An American Idol. "By combining East and West Coast ideals in his music, John Adams continues to create a sense of what it means to be alive today in America, writes Philip Kennicott."
- The Persistence of Errata. An author talks about how errors creep into a book before it's published.
- Antonov shortage threatens delivery delays for the biggest satellites. "A shortage of Ukrainian Antonov aircraft raises the prospect of more delays for satellite projects already bogged down by supply chain issues. Satellite manufacturers make heavy use of large cargo space on Antonovs to transport GEO spacecraft from factory to launch site."
- Why the WHO took two years to say COVID is airborne. "Early in the pandemic, the World Health Organization stated that SARS-CoV-2 was not transmitted through the air. That mistake and the prolonged process of correcting it sowed confusion and raises questions about what will happen in the next pandemic."
