Same here. I know naming things is hard but they went out of the way to make it extra terrible. Stick to letters and maybe numbers if you want the version in the name.

Speak for yourself. I only want to wear masks if they're proven to work. I'm not playing dress up for no reason.

I'm still baffled that every mask I see at stores says "not for medical use". It's been nearly two years and we still don't have approved masks? I'm also seeing more and more evidence that masks that aren'

Exactly. This is my problem with all these things people claim blockchain technology will solve. People think it's magically going to solve all the problems created by the government. They think it's a work around to fix corruptio

No it doesn't. You just made that up. Your comment implies you're just someone who likes to go looking for things to get outraged about. See, I can make up "implications" too.

The burden of proof is on the people pushing vaccines.

by choward 5y ago
And you don't find that ridiculous? If a virus is spreading quickly among vaccinated people you might begin questioning said vaccine and you definitely wouldn't mandate it.

I thought that's what it was at first and tried drawing on it. Once I saw that wasn't the case I closed the tab. Not trying to be petty or anything but I just wanted to tell my real experience since I'm sure I'm not the

I believe the other was comparing the feature of being able to sync between devices. In the case of Dropbox one of those devices happens to be a third party server ran by a multi billion dollar company. The author doesn't seem to care

Is this a troll comment? That's not even close to the same thing. Rsync and scp copy data from one computer to another in one direction. Scp would require you replacing entire directories. Both rsync and scp would need to be ran manual

What you described is a completely different idea.

Just looked up Bvckup 2 and it's completely different. First of all, it's windows only which is a deal breaker for me. It also doesn't appear to be open source. There is also a pricing scheme so you have to constantly have to

To your first two points, you could say that before covid. Do you have a time machine or something? You can't study long term effects just by having a bigger study.

The inline example didn't even work for me. Highlights multiple sections. And the href for section-2 is wrong.

I find it ironic that you're trying to censor the site that's calling out censorship merely because they have a few things you disagree with.

Questioning things isn't a bad thing. I consider a conspiracy theorist to be someone who believes theories are fact. I'm just saying I don't know. I don't think the pandemic was planned but it's good to keep an open

Another thing that makes me suspicious is that Skillsoft just went through chapter 11 bankrupty summer of 2020. It's near the start of a pandemic and people are at home yet these guys struggle? Also look how many owners skillsoft has p

Have you heard of event 201? I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this is quite the coincidence. They simulated a pandemic in October 2019 and one of the things they focused on was "misinformation". There are too many similariti

But you use the skin in a game controlled and centralized by steam. Steam could choose not to display your skin. Your skin means nothing without steam existing. The decentralized skin bought you nothing. Now if the game was decentralized to

So you want to punish people who get practical degrees? How will this reduce "pointless" degrees? Won't it incentivize you to get them?
