Less machines, less maintenance, less pollution, less taxes.

Same here. I'm still on a 3Mb DSL connection, and to be quite honest, according to my graphs, it's closer to 196KB/sec. Why in the world would I enable JS when I mostly don't need to? I'm just trying to read

:-D That's one of my primary reasons for loving goats so much - they 100% completely refuse to bow to industrial agriculture or the whims of man. All goats are anarchist goats. :-D I love it! Good luck! Embrace the anarchy.

Consider yourself lucky. There are data-corruption bugs all over the now-diverged ZFS codebase(s). Check the Solaris 11 SRU notes from the last 24 months for many examples.

Not that hard to train your goats or cows to this; highly dependent on the animal's inherited personality though. I would routinely milk one of our cows when I was a kid right out in the pasture. She was calm as ever, no food was eve

I wholeheartedly agree. I've used CFEngine, BladeLogic, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt in various infrastructure management tasks in the UNIX/Linux space. They're all shitty tools, don't get me wrong; they all have gian

Just speaking my lived experience homie. Most of my family and friends are RNs, many of which, have various chronic issues due to work-related mandatory yearly vaccinations. Their cases are facts backed by practicing virologists.

Take a closer look at the mortality rate from COVID, and then take a closer look at which pre-existing conditions people who are being hospitalized largely have (all easily found on CDC's network of reporting hospitals, at least for th

Anecdotally, I know someone who got the vaccine, and dropped to the ground of a heart attack 3 days later - no prior history of any heart issues or hypertension. Thankfully, he was near an EMT unit that had to bring him back.

>Just like unvaccinated people kill others at higher rates. Source? Are you saying unvaccinated people are out there murdering others? Do people no longer have functional immune systems?

You nailed it on the head. The fear mongering is absurd, and largely money driven. I would think we suffer many many more deaths from diabetes than 1.5 million/year. Of course, if you die in the hospital from diabetes complication

No doubt. I've posted this in several threads on HN already. But what I'm stating stands - people (mostly media) are starting to treat and report on "Long Covid" as if it's own disease. You are left with permanen

Wasn't trying to answer your question...just pointing out that FDA approval means fuck-all. Seems you've put quite a bit of value to it either way. Good luck on your path.

You're making judgments about animals that are wholly inappropriate for their "actions". Seems to be trendy on HN to call things gross lately...maybe its the new generation?

Ticks are insects, not gross. They're just animals looking to eat, just like you and I.

I don't think any skeptics caused you to not be able to get a potentially life-saving drug. If they have, please show examples. Lyme disease is not life threatening. GSK didn't go through with distribution because it didn&#x2

There is no requirement to post reactions to VAERS; it's completely voluntary.

You should play powerball with that type of luck!!! I pick embedded ticks off my body 6 out of 7 days each week, for about 3-4 months each year for many years, and have yet to face consequences...but then, I don't go to get medical at
