Netflix has somehow conditioned me to expect disappointment in movies with interesting looking cover art, which I now actively ignore, and don't even click through for descriptions anymore. "Huh, that looks interesting. Not fallin

What's simple is that if my natural-immunity levels are better than your vaccine-only immunity levels, then you are the greater risk to the public. And that's whether I decide to get vaccinated or not.

by beerandt 5y ago
Then by that logic, you should risk a breakthrough infection to achieve natural immunity levels. Because breakthrough severity risk is "minimal" and the greater benefit for society is enormous. There are plenty of arguments for in

Then why shouldn't people with natural immunity (whether vaccinated or not) demand the vaccinated be intentionally exposed to COVID? (And quarantine after exposure.) Presuming risk of severity of breakthrough cases is as low as we&#x27

Your right, but anybody else making this argument up until now in defense of natural immunity got ignored or ridiculed.

Considering the sars-1 and mers vaccine attempts had over-stimulated immune response problems, it absolutely should be a concern. Vaccination induced immunity levels were sufficient, but now that natural immunity levels are higher, that&#x2

Restrictions being placed on unvaccinated individuals with natural immunity is based on the premise that it's not as effective or long-lasting as the vaccine. That might not be an excuse to not get vaccinated , but it's absolutel

No, the presumptive question was " If Trump delivered , would you take it?" Not "Do you trust that Trump will deliver in time?" Or anything about reliability being affected by "rushing" things, because when it

It's a plausible enough mistake to have happened before. Which to me, is good enough reason to not outright dismiss it as "obviously false". Some Polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40 for years, and it does, in fact, alt

I've always ignored advice even people say somethings too hard or not worth it. And I pretty much never regret it. I absolutely regret trying to get a used rack mount server running. The combination of steep learning curve from worksta

But that's a problem in itself that's always bothered me: dragging works slightly different than copy/paste works different than cut/paste. And the different uses are useful on their own, but the inconsistency makes unde

That's absolutely not what anyone was implying. And at best is a distinction without a difference. They were responding to being asked if they would take a vaccine developed/released under the Trump administration. Not: "What

What is that supposed to mean, except don't trust the product being rolled out? The factcheck word twisting is getting out of control. But if anything, this distinction is worse, because instead of saying don't trust a controversi

We're talking packaging the loans into a bundle, so it'd need to be faster than usual depreciation across the market, for some unforseen (aka not priced-in) reason. Otherwise it'd average out.

The electrical grids in general were fundamentally designed differently from country to country, including the voltage difference. That took into account what was cost effective from the perspective of large scale deployment, and then indiv

There are a lot of interesting differences in the basic grid designs and layouts that are a result of the 120 vs 240 voltage differences. Everything from number of transformers, to distances between substations, to the required line separat

Even then it's not worth it, unless there's some unique risk or liability they're worried about, like near airports. Retrofits in urban areas are especially expensive, because any good contractor knows there's gonna be u

Hindsight would be proposing a different plan today and claiming it would have worked better. Actually proposing a different plan ahead of time is a validated opinion/decision.

Car debt is a very different thing than real estate debt. No one is expecting cars to hold or appreciate value, even if some have in the past year. And no one buying used car debt has any delusions about the potential rate of defaults. Not

Timely withdrawl before the Taliban started shelling the capital absolutely would have made a difference. But I'd settle for getting US citizens and diplomats (and afghans who've earned a visa) out before having our military cut a

It's not about the end result of the country, but a withdrawal being executed properly, getting civilians out before the diplomatic corps before the military. The reverse of what's happened. And all before the summer gave the Tali

Withdrawal happening vs how withdrawal is happening are two very different things. Trump's plan was to be out by Christmas, which generals delayed to May. This is not Biden executing Trump's plan.

Except when it was a campaign issue, he said Trump's timeline for troops out before Christmas, which generals delayed to troops out by May, were both too fast. Now it looks like being out before the summer fighting season started would

It still boils down to everyone gets an identifying number, whether it's an ipv4 address or an ipv6 block. Any randomized ipv6 address from that block is still as "unique" an identifier as an ipv4 address.
