It doesn’t matter if tyrants are democratically elected. And he was a tyrant, indiscriminately slaughtering protesters. Once you are violating human dignity and human rights in such an obvious way you are in no way a legitimate leader. Elec

Vehicular cycling (bikes being treated as other vehicles) is dangerous if it‘s used to guide infrastructure (then the correct answer is complete separation and a few other tricks that boil down to avoiding contact between bikes, cars and pe

“Did you think of a particular model of Mac when writing that Arthur Dent had one?” would be a better question then, but I’m not sure that‘s a particularly interesting question to ask?

It would be much more useful to pour excess power into green hydrogen production. There are industrial and chemical processes where electricity is not a viable replacement for the CO2 intensive approaches we are using now. Building up a hyd

We will not settle Mars. That doesn’t even begin to make sense. There are places orders of magnitude more friendly to human settlement on Earth than on Mars and we don’t even settle those. On Earth those windmill are much cheaper than nucle

Well, this rather makes the game annoying to play with people who think they are so clever and start constructing completely new words no one before them ever used. Which the rules don’t allow, by the way. Sure, you can construct arbitrary

People who are not vaccinate are definitely behaving in a deeply antisocial way and enforcing vaccines is very much a justified policy in my eyes, even if “only” to smooth over the transition from pandemic to endemic. To my eyes vaccine man

That’s not the end state anyone who knows anything about this virus is expecting or aiming at at the moment. And it hasn’t been for months and months. Universal vaccination can make the transition of this virus from pandemic to endemic much

If you look at these games you can see that Wordle is a perfect fit. There is no other way to put it. If Wordle were already in that games list it wouldn’t stick out at all. Especially the aspect of having a daily puzzle that’s the same for

Eh, when I got a Switch last year I tried it out right away (after reading such articles in the past) and if you just give it a careful lick you will immediately notice it but it’s not as if it’s lingering around forever.

YYYY-MM-DD is, as far as I know, merely a recommendation in DIN 5008, not in any way the standard in Germany, either officially or informally. DIN 5008 does allow for DD.MM.YYYY (with the dots and without spaces), Duden recommends spaces af

I was taught DD.MM.YYYY in school (90s). This is the de-facto standard (short) date format in Germany and by far the most commonly used one. First because it’s consistent with the longer written out date format used in German: „19. Januar 2

Apple isn’t merging mouse and keyboard systems, though. Not in macOS. So that hypothesis is complete bunk. This design move is at this point getting to be a decade old. So this explanation from you makes zero sense.

A one in a million adverse effect is not in any way serious, even if it sometimes leads to death. This is deeply irrational and highly antisocial behavior. It it disgusting and awful. Bodily autonomy is not that important, either.

Cloud you please explain your point more clearly and actually respond to what I have written?

This is all crystal clear by now. We know how Covid-19 spreads. The height of infectiousness is just before or around the start of symptoms. You are infectious maybe a day or so before symptoms start. You aren’t infectious for that many day

Do we? Why do you claim that? The eyes of the world have been glued to this. People actually know the different "brands" of vaccines. Tabloids have discussions on them and their side effects … the scrutiny and expectations from th

It’s completely normal for all medications and especially vaccines to be monitored very closely after they are first approved (also called "phase 4"). This is a completely normal part of the approval process, simply because (phase

That’s just not true. This is some weird misunderstanding. Or a failure of people to think in anything but black and white? Vaccines reduce transmission. They do not eliminate transmission completely.

That doesn’t seem plausible. Non-medical interventions were also employed during the 1918/19 flu pandemic, also in the US. In fact, when things like school closures were initially discussed people were literally looking up old data fro

In what sense is getting a vaccination that has been administered to literally billions of people, billions of times, with no serious adverse effects a significant sacrifice? That statement does not make sense under any possible rational in

From a political point of view re-introducing nuclear in Germany would be suicide for anyone attempting it. It‘s just not a politically viable option. That’s the reality of it, irregardless of anything else.

Bi-annual is not necessary, even if immunity wanes within six months due to the seasonal nature of the beast. So at worst we are looking at something like the yearly flu vaccination. And also very probably younger and healthier people will

Most certainly not at that cost. Easy access to tests is much more important than ridiculously inflated prices. There is no value at all to this, not for COVID lateral flow ag tests, it’s complete bullshit. Those tests have to be plentiful,

This is too defeatist and doesn’t acknowledge the progress already made. Being too needlessly cynical about what is possible is also dangerous. Basically you are forming a coalition with deniers and stand in the way of meaningful progress.

Yeah, but in practice that hasn’t been relevant. It’s important to be cautious, but it’s also important to not be a know-it-all who just because they can think of a limitation of a data collection / statistical method they can suddenly

No, not at all. That’s not at all how it works. Other vaccinations are also given three times (second dose after a short interval, third dose after a longer interval), so it might well be that this vaccine turns out to be one of those, we j

20% of the population is, however, behaving stupidly and irrationally and in a very antisocial way. Insulting them is perfectly fine. Just as with opposition to seatbelts it’s important for politics to create facts and just decide this issu

That’s wrong information. Twice-vaccinated people will have to get a booster shot and there are discussions about a six month expiry date if you don’t get the booster shot. What happens beyond that we do not know right now since can’t look
