It was more a matter of how misinformation malignantly spreads I believe. I had to see the only available PCP to see anyone else. This automatically prompted medical releases that, even if unethical, would have still…
Fellow hypochondriac here. I was at the point where doctors, hospital staff, and lab techs would immediately warn new practitioners about me so they wouldn't waste finite medical resources in a small town, and I just…
This has honestly been my unbiased opinion since essentially day 1. I believe that the release was almost certainly a complete accident, but there's just no realistic chance a novel virus coincidentally originates in…
hOW sILICON vALLEY gave rise to Parler by talking about it until everyone knew the name of some obscure app for racists
The remorseless prosecutorial effort that led to his suicide should be talked about far more than it is. He was a very unfortunate loss for a generation, but was also one of many who fall victim to career prosecutors…
You can put more than one drug in a single shot. The MMR vaccine contains Mumpsvax, Attenuvax, and Meruvax to fight the mumps, measles, and rubella, respectively
On one hand it feels completely appropriate and even deserved. On the other, yes, this is unfortunately a path to a very serious totalitarian issue. Situations like this one underscore the future importance of…
First, I'll say that I've contracted for a state's caucus at the capitol building in addition to at the homes of minor politicians. That's my frame of reference. The real answer? It's nowhere near as bad in my opinion…
The numbers start going down quickly once infections have been so prolific that crowd immunity is present. I live in Texas, but I'm sure I personally infected no fewer than 10,000-20,000 people last March, including the…
There are multiple points of failure. Pretending everything was A-OK is the largest one, failing to identify the virus's presence in the country for months was another, denying and downplaying the usefulness of masks…
LA is one of the most connected cities in the world. It's not LA's fault necessarily, but the country as a whole should've been on complete lockdown from April until whenever the situation was under control. Our…
What are they supposed to do? Sometimes dealing with reality involves some pretty uncomfortable choices to make, even when that essentially makes you the bad guy. The real issue here is that the economy was prematurely…
Even as an American with no stake in the UK, this departure saddens me after how hard my family fought in Europe in defense of stability in that region. The best thing that can come of this is that the UK promptly…
There's some real potential for abuse so I'd probably have to oppose this one, but I think when you're dealing with people willfully spreading a deadly disease, that's probably already actionable under current laws in…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Apple I miss the days when major players in the game gave the middle finger and just let governments do the corrupt blocking.
Such a waste.
1) Yes, even if you're sure 2) The running theory is that an immunological response is primed by a first infection, so you'll probably benefit little
Interesting, what's the performance like?

If the data is sensitive, keeping it on a locked down iPad is nowhere near enough to protect it. I can understand if they're using the images for machine learning or something, but if it's truly just to prevent future…
There are lots of businesses with this model. The correct way to deal with them is to exclusively use real credit cards, and to either threaten or immediately reverse charges from the financial institution's side as…
About the last time I saw it, too -- I had no idea that it even existed anymore and especially didn't know that they could write lengthy articles.
It's some combination of those things. Lots of them are just random filler and arbitrary ramblings, but the ones he gets pressed on repeatedly are answered in whatever way provokes a desired reaction at that exact…
A lot of these drug overdose deaths are COVID deaths, because alcohol and drug abuse has skyrocketed as a direct result of the pandemic. The last estimate I saw, IIRC, was that the numbers (sans deaths) have tripled in…
He literally has no ideology or apparent political convictions of any kind. His position on any given issue can change 3 times in the same day and his disposition has no other pattern besides consistent inconsistency.
