The photo in the article looks cool, showing a full page of the New York Times in tiny dense font on a huge screen. But is anyone really going to want to read a paper in that format by standing next to a wall for an hour while squatting to

90% of people will comply. Let's say it's only 50% though. Those people are no more or less likely to be infected. So it's 100% perfectly fine not to test everyone if the goal is to determine the number infected overall. If l

Agreed. Call it a corporate profit good and that's fair. Social good? Fuck those *s promoting such propaganda. Mark their aliases in your blackbook and forever look at them as absolute demons. Doing their thang.

Yes. Bloomberg uses their publication to manipulate the stock market to the advantage of insiders. This is completely obvious based on the huge number of absolute bullshit fabricated stories where they and their anonymous sources are the o

Decades ago in the US I worked at a big factory that had an odd schedule very similar to this. It was absolutely exhausting. I was far less productive then than I ever have been. Also my coworkers were by and large imbeciles and criminals s

Right, with this and chloroquine, assuming it works to prevent the virus from binding to ACE2, you'd want it to be in the early stages, before massive damage to the lungs, liver, intestines and brains are done (all of these are targete

You are correct about the dogs and I do not understand why, can you explain? There are countless newspaper articles about how all the animal shelters have had all their dogs adopted out in the last two weeks, for the first time ever. Is it

I'm not Zooming, but everyone I know is, and it looks pretty damn slick and seems to work great. I can't think of any service that has had as fast and huge an adoption, which is obviously due to blind luck/things beyond their

Some pigs are pretty smart. Not sure if smart as dogs. Pig parts have been transplanted into humans for medical reasons with good results. So we are kind of similar. I don't eat pig for these reasons. I don't have a problem with o

It will filter out particles. Just not as many as a high end mask like an N95. But better than nothing. Studies prove this. The masks-don't-work people are causing extreme harm and killing people.

Yelp has consistently behaved in an exceptionally sociopathic manner for many many years. I don't see any reason why that should have changed. Does a leopard change its spots?

Wow you created a brand new account just to post that one comment? I'm honored. On to the response. First, doing something I don't want to do that someone else told me to do and not getting paid for it is slavery. Slavery is bad.
