Is it possible the Newsweek list is wrong? The EO and Annexes are not on the Federal Register website yet but on the Whitehouse website it has EO[1] and Annex I[2] and Annex II[3]. I do not see Russia or Ukraine mentioned in any of those so

Anecdotally, I didn't smoke or drink and was celibate during college and I dropped out twice. My sister drank a lot and was very promiscuous and went on to become a doctor. I think doing well in college is probably more about factors

Even IRC was better for data archiving and searching. We usually had local logs we could grep and web-indexed/searchable logs from bots. It's really insane how much information is on Discord that is both impossible to discover and

I didn't vote. I have various (bad) reasons: - I live in a deeply partisan state where the outcome was predetermined: a disproportionate amount of those who didn't vote would have to vote in the opposite of those who voted (if I l

That wiki article cites https://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/wisqars (which I guess is now https://wisqars.cdc.gov/ ) and doesn't really show us how that number came about. But let's say you look at 2022

Your point is also covered in the audit report linked by the parent. Cost was not the only factor. They seem to be trying to handle missing data the right way rather than use a kludge. They did not want to add inaccurate death data to Numid
