Oddly enough, microwaving frozen mice was one of the very first non-radar applications of the microwave magnetron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tdiKTSdE9Y
Sorry, what "moral high ground" did it ever have? SV is just a place for smart people to create interesting new toys, and has developed an incredibly predatory and monopolistic VC-funded business practice in the…
You mean, sick with that disease that's asymptomatic some huge proportion of the time? And has very little effect on most working-age people?
Does blaming the declining mental and physical state of previously healthy people on "lockdowns" also get vaguely political? My wife and I did not come near to breakdowns as we tried to care for our young family through…
In my opinion, blaming it on the pandemic is misleading, and hides the true cause of our problems. As I said, supply chains are disrupted because everyone was confined to their houses and completely changed their…
They also released vidoes of people literally dropping in the street "with Covid".
You've got that mixed up. The reason that supply chains are in disarray are because of the enormous disruption caused by Covid restrictions and lockdowns, not because people were literally dying of Covid on the job. You…
A parent suffers from a genetic condition, which makes that an accurate description of their lives when symptoms are bad. Very sadly, their response to the AZ vaccine has made that a daily occurance for the past 6…
I too have a long term view of this whole situation, and based on what I see of the never-ending impositions on our every day lives that have removed all trace of many things that made life pleasant, easier, and…
And how exactly does me getting vaccinated protect someone else? I understand that you will probably be outraged by me even asking this question, but I am for real. The official messaging here in the UK has recently…
How can I imagine such a thing? Being a parent makes you do superhuman things. It's just not an option to "not feel like getting out of bed" - for all I know, the extra motivation of needing to care for my young family…
My immune system would definitely be better if I hadn't been confined to my house for months, and banned from seeing anyone for months after that.
And who gets to define my anecdote as "disinformation"? Surely you can't be saying that any story that runs counter to a particular given narrative must be false? (FWIW, it is completely true). How do you know the…
It happens, when the kids bring back a particularly nasty disease from nursery. We recently had RSV, and that lasted a month for me.
Just goes to show the validity of anecdotes thrown around anonymously online, right?
As a parent of two small kids, I would struggle to notice if I had "Long Covid". Most of the symptoms sound like my every day experience! ps. In my subjective opinion, Long Covid is completely overblown. I know even…
If we're going to throw anecdotes around, a very close relative of mine has had a severe reaction to the Covid Vaccine (AZ, I believe), and has been off work for 6 months and counting with a variety of health issues.
I am not going to spend my time watching videos of other people in VR. You're seriously disconnected from what young people are doing. Search "dirt jumps" on youtube.
Hard to tell if you're serious. If so, the "VR Metaverse" will only exist for a select few techno-elites, and I'm not really sure what they would say to each other. Probably end up just scrolling on their phones in VR.
>To where? Who knows, but I imagine people will have a choice of multiple services instead of one or two big behemoths (i.e Facebook & Twitter). Hopefully, they will re-discover the joys and challenges of in-person…
It's well known that Zuckerburg won't let his young kids use any FB products. Obviously - dealers don't get high off their supply, and definitely don't give it to their own kids. >“Congresswoman, My daughters are five…
Everyone now knows upper management of FB (the company) are awful human beings. FB as a website / app is dead. Instagram is becoming much more widely known as a source of terrible online addiction problems for young…
You only killed several hundred other plants (in the form of resource extraction and refining) to do this!
And these are precisely the people we just shut down the global economy (and culture, and inter-personal connection) to apparently "protect".
"Is this the best tool for the job" is a very simple statement that should be universally applied. Somehow, people have been convinced that "tech", now re-defined as "the latest and greatest internet-connected widget",…
