Last I checked, there isn't clear evidence that Biomin F is superior to Novamin. Some studies show Biomin F is better, but some studies show they have the same effect.

Not recommending and actually discouraging people from wearing a mask is the lie. It doesn't matter that the incorrect advice is followed by a couple of correct reasons. The bad advice is the lie itself. If I say "You should smo

What I said holds true if you replace "right to be publicly forgotten" with "freedom to be publicly forgotten."

On the "doxxing" controversy, it’s odd to see people who are supposedly in favor of free speech advocate for what is essentially the "right" to be publicly forgotten (since Scott’s real name was already public knowledge

I agree with everything you said except one nit: Robinhood still hasn't fixed their liquidity issues because they only let each account buy a maximum of one (1) GameStop share on Friday.

I am inclined to believe Melvin got out, because market manipulation that the SEC will actually go after is lying about your trades (covering your short) when you haven't made those trades. Most of what WSB is doing is market manipulat

Sure that is possible. I have not seen anything indicating that is the case being made with AMC etc.

We are seeing them become the next meme stock that people are trying to pump. Unlike GameStop their pumps have very little to do with short squeezes because these stocks were not being shorted anywhere near as much as GameStop was.

There are many different rapid tests. Some are reliable and some are unreliable. For the ones that are reliable (like Abbott's test), they are highly accurate at determining whether someone is currently infectious . So you could have

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Most scientists fully expect the approved vaccines to prevent infection and transmission for some significant % of people. The only thing that hasn't been conclusively proven is what that

Prop 11 required EMTs to remain on-call during paid breaks (I suppose you could spin it as eliminated non-on-call paid breaks). Most major newspapers endorsed it. There was very little opposition ($0 spent in opposition).
