I highly doubt those elephants are getting killed if they don't have tusks, though.


I still have no idea what Atek is.


I think you misunderstood their question. Obviously immune response to common cold isn't effective against rona. But if this vaccine is effective against a wide range of coronaviruses, could it also be effective against the one that causes the common cold?


Ah. Thanks for clearing that up! That makes a lot more sense in hindsight.

On the other hand, the cross-immunization to SARS1 and MERS is not surprising, since the mRNA vaccines were developed for these and modified for SARS2. (It is not a completely novel vaccine and "rapid development" was only possible, because a lot of basic research was already done on SARS1/MERS. Would have taken a lot longer to identify a molecular target otherwise.)


>Obviously immune response to common cold isn't effective against rona.

Actually...according to some studies it is.

That's not how vaccines and viruses work.

Normally when you get infected you get small number of viral particles in your system. Those then hijack your system to create more, and those new particles spread to other people through sneezing etc. In time your immune system learns how to recognise and kill the virus and eventually removes it from your system.

Now let's say you get vaccinated and you get that same small number of viral particles in your system. Your immune system will already know how to recognise and kill the virus, and immediately starts doing this. It doesn't multiply in your body, so it can't spread to others either.


Yeah, I can't think of anything i'd need a video for, but still made one just to see if it works as well as the intro makes it look. And it really does work that well!

One small issue and a small feature request, tho:

- Undo of resizing images should restore it to the size that it was before you started dragging, currently it restores it to a lot of sizes during dragging.

- It would be great if you could switch between different kinds of text effects without having to remove the entire effect and re-enter your text.

[EDIT: found some more small bugs]

- Copy & paste hex colors for text doesn't work b/c it will paste the text element instead

- One time the download link for the video didn't work, it just closed the modal and i had to render it again. Worked fine the next time

All in all very well done! Will definitely be spreading the word about this one!


Nice, this looks like something i might use to mock an api server in the early stages of a project.


You're better using Postman for this case: https://learning.postman.com/docs/designing-and-developing-y...


The modern world with its social networks makes it so much easier to do on a large scale, though.

That was a very short week!



According to the Dutch wikipedia page, Chama and Fort San Sebastian are the same place.
