> A conspiracy theory is something that has been proven to be untrue, but people still believe it and pass it on. No, it's not. It's a theory that a conspiracy has taken place.

I thought that first comment had some inappropriately personal things to say about ddvault and his article. It also seemed like they didn't really respond with substance to the what the article said.

I think Drew responded to that. I thought this was a key quote: > Off the bat, let me explain that I expect a tool which claims to be secure to actually be secure. I don’t view “but that makes it harder for the average person” as an acce

What I never see mentioned are cheap FPGA dev boards that don't come with any peripherals. I guess those aren't worth the pain of adding the peripherals back on?

I'm surprised (but maybe I shouldn't be) that there's no mention at all of antennas. I guess it's a lot easier to get a signal from something in line of sight above you.

Thanks for the response. I'm curious what your wife thinks about this article [0], mentioned elsewhere in this discussion. It makes the case that the current RDA for Vitamin D is based on a statistical error, and that the recommended

There's other studies cited in this discussion. Those are peer-reviewed and do back up what the post is claiming.

I'd tend to agree with you. There's a lot of pharmaceutical money to be made on this crisis, especially if Covid-19 becomes seasonal. Don't want to waste that opportunity by treating it with something cheap like Vitamin D. I

Right now, I'd rather have a calcium problem than a Covid-19 problem. Also, some of the studies being thrown around in this discussion have mentioned that safe levels of Vitamin D are much higher than a lot of medical professionals ac

That's what I was thinking. At the very least, they'll either have to come up with some very fancy welding rod matrials, or train their welders in some interesting techniques. Reminds me of the difficulties in welding aluminum.
