One of the concerns with this test is real. People who have a secret phone due to domestic violence are being advised to turn the phone off as the test alert will override the settings on most cell phones. Would be hard to keep the phone secret if it starts making noise.
On the other hand, I had my 6th COVID vaccine yesterday so I assume that at some point today the transmitter in my left arm will be activated.

Quote:Asteroid 349507 (2008 QY) is around 1.2 kilometers in diameter, or around 1,000 capybaras – large enough that an impact event (which won't happen now) could be a worldwide catastrophe.

Hungarian-American biochemist Katalin Kariko was once denied tenure and promotion at the University of Pennsylvania in 1995 due to a lack of grant funding.
Two days ago, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Nowhere have I seen a picture where he has a pointy red hat or a fishing rod!
