I have absolutely seen recent research on the efficacy of masks. Scroll down to "Human Studies" [1]. I was sceptical on masks from the start (although I still wore them when you weren't supposed to) but new evidence came in

I almost see an attitude now that what truly proves your commitment to science is the fact that you don't question it

I feel this is tongue in cheek but at the same time I've personally benefited from 2/3 of these already. I find that very interesting that I'm benefiting from the shit stirring that Russia is doing.

NTFS was a file system built from the ground up for security compliance. Microsoft since about Windows XP SP2 has been taking security increasingly seriously, and they were willing to break a lot of software to enforce UAC in the Vista day

I was looking for a laptop capable of running 3x4k displays and there is currently a 186 page thread on macrumours about the 16" being too hot with external displays. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/16-is-hot-

There is a direct financial incentive for twitch to encourage simping. No surprise that they're banning the word.

The 16" slipped my mind, that varient to me was the first "good" laptop apple released in years but they were pushing a dated 15" model not so long ago. This laptop had quite a bit of overheating issues to the point you

I don't see it as unfairness, college mostly gatekeeper business and academia and raw brainpower isn't what you should be selecting for. At least not in isolation. I do agree the 90% claim seems dubious especially unsourced.

Developers for the most part have or can look forward enough to enough income to make a tool like a mac relatively inexpensive. My biggest problem with buying them has been how absurdly bad the hardware has been for years other than the tr

I see the anti-side as more arguing that they're middle class. People wealthy enough to afford to not bicycle or take the bus, but of modest enough means that taxes can mean putting car ownership out of reach. The "Liberal elite

It's sexist and spitting in the face of gender equality. It's feminism not egalitarianism.

Being an immigrant without legal status is not technically in itself a crime. It's a civil matter not a criminal one. A child smuggled into the United States when they were 2 years old wouldn't be definitionally a criminal.

This data shows undocumented immigrants are less likely to get arrested, saying they're less likely to commit crimes is a speculative inference. If we're being consistent we would have to assume that any group with a high arrest
