I’m not making up claims I’m repeating what doctors and nurses have come out and said - they were told to mark deaths as COVID related if the patient had a positive test result, even when cause of death was not specifically COVID related. M

I live in California. I got laid off in December of 2019, right before the pandemic. I got a small gig that held me over for a bit, but fell behind on rent. A few months ago I got a new job and caught up on rent. If I had taken care of some

I guess that would depend on how much effort they put into the camera. Could be yes, could be no.

Switched from a MBA to a Lenovo Thinkpad X395. No ragrets. I specifically sought out an AMD Ryzen chip, which affected my final model choice. I knew I was going thinkpad though.

I dislike that phrase. I've heard it a lot. Believing everyone is out to get you. Nobody is out to get you, because you're a nobody. There's no grand conspiracy to take down some internet shitposter. People are out for th

The phone/android part doesn't need to be from scratch, there's literally dozens of companies that specialize in that industry. You can probably just order some whitebox logic board/chassis for 1/10th the cost of e

I agree with your statements. But it's not that I am shunned from the group, it's that some have self-shunned. What was a batch of friends that could fill a backyard BBQ with 30+ people is down to about 10. I'm still the m

I had a close circle of friends that were pretty anti-establishment in ~2010. We bonded over beers and whiskey, and deep discussions of the news media control of information and thought, and the lobbying power of big pharma. Many of them d

What a weird distinction. Those who shoot RAW are probably more likely to be the ones that spend for the upgrade in kit. Those that shoot JPEG/PNG I assume are more likely to not even notice the difference. And even then is a custom

I was thinking maybe they included better glass in the kits that made up for the costs. Linked article explains the 'blad came with a Zeiss lens, and was still overpriced for the combo. No info in article on the mentioned Leica but m

Unfortunately this is one of those instances where looking out for oneself (in a business sense) does more harm to society than eating the costs and fighting the battle. IANASBO (I am not a Small Business Owner) so I can't say I wouldn

Reading the headline I got really excited, but looking at the images of the product I'm pretty disappointed: * There's lots of glass, but the actual lens appears to be 1/20th the size of the cosmetic glass surrounding the len

You can't get EUA for the vaccines if there's a working treatment. The doctor who promoted Hydroxychloroquine and zinc treatment, Dr. Zelenko, is still banned from Twitter for spreading COVID disinformation. There's both act

ouch, I hadn't seen the updates, or followed along, thanks for the heads up. I fought many years by hopping distros to keep init.d as my initialization environment. Eventually I gave up and accepted systemd on Debian, my otherwise pre

Would these replace the standard C versions of the coreutils? Would development efforts cease, or reduce, on the C versions (factoring in the little active development they currently see). I ask because there was a recent discussion [0] on

This is a great comment. Great examples of gatekeeping. I think you're right on the breakdown of "trust me" models. I also see a problem with fundamental value in the crypto space. And I switched from a mild crypto believe

Mostly crazy people. edit: but it's sad how little attention people pay. Ghaddafi predicted the mass-immigration problems that Europe now faces. Libya, for all it's faults, was the place to go for anyone born in Africa looking to

Sorry, popularized would have been more accurate. Or perhaps weaponized. The term did exist before then, but the usage wasn't prevalent, and more directed at actual "conspiracies" - multiple entities, such as businesses or p

>Gaddafi had launched the idea of a pan-African gold dinar at least since 2002. He was killed in 2011. True, and I don't claim it's fact (discussed in sibling comments) - just something to consider. But there's also a dif

The point is not to determine the actual reason(s) - us plebs will likely never know. The point is to examine the possibility that sometimes alternative explanations to the official narrative could be plausible. Which loops back to how th

Fair enough but I can't see that as more harmful than any other energy production. El Salvador still does not generate enough power to serve all it's citizens, so they will be building more power plants regardless. Hopefully the

The rhetoric used stops me from bringing it up, in certain circles. I really only can bring it up with close friends/family, or anonymously on the web. I've been called anti-semitic, racist, alt-right, my intelligence insulted.

One other thing - I hate the term "conspiracy theory". It was literally coined by the CIA to discredit discussion of actual conspiracies. But that's just another crazy conspiracy theory for another HN thread.

What kind of pollution does geothermal create? Honest question. I was under the impression it's just steam spinning turbines. Akin to a nuclear plant but without all the problematic radioactive fuel.

They cite environmental and transparency concerns, but somehow I believe it's more about control and ensuring the continuation of the debt based fiat systems. I have a litmus test I use when discussing global financial politics with fr
