How are the guns originally obtained? A factory makes them, they get sold somewhere. Ghost guns are a thing, but that also has a legislative solution.

What makes you think they weren't?

Gun control policy is racist? I'm very, very confused.

It's like this guy has never heard of a speculative bubble, and sets up a series of straw men to nock down instead. Even though "bubble" is in the title. Edit: oh I get it, his point is that yes there was a bubble, and that&#

Bush W's "if they have oil" doctrine. In this case the invasion would be legitimate if it was Ukraine invading Russia and not the other way around.

The point has wooshed over your head and flown into orbit. The original context was having skin (perceived or not) in the game and if it would always impact behavior. I'm not trying to convince anti vaxers of anything, just observing h

by greesil 5y ago
You guys are missing the point. The point is that people who are anti vax clearly have skin in the game by any measure. The point is not impacted by these little details, so don't go off in some flamewar here

People trade health at low and high probabilities for money all the time. That's the model that produced the $10M number in the first place.

The $10M number came from people already not taking into account low probability events. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_life VSL

The "no-vaxers" pay with their lives, self-valued at ~$10M USD. If the death rate is 1% then the expected value is $100K. Seems fairly pricey already. I'm not sure lack of skin in the game accounts for dodgy personal beliefs.

They are killing machines. Cute, cuddly killing machines. But they also kill vermin that eat garden plants. If you've got a serious vegetable garden going, outdoor cats can really help take care of gophers, rabbits, squirrels, and mice

These two things are not mutually exclusive, are they?

From the basement of the AERB to the fast paced world of venture backed startups. Good luck guys!!!

That was what I thought the article is supposed to be about. Imagine my surprise.

My experience with getting started with any embedded system, even if I am programming in C, is that it will have a steep learning curve unless someone in the community already went through this and published a how-to.

I always have to wonder if these 3d printed homes are insulated enough. I guess you could design some dead space and print some insulation in it, something like a dual extruder setup.

The fart before the storm, perhaps.

You just don't get it. People aren't trying to optimize cost of healthcare at the system level, they are optimizing for themselves not dying and not getting sick. The perception (which I think it true, but you don't) is that

It's not that it's not true, it's that it that you can't make the conclusion that vaccines are ineffective at stopping the spread of covid from it. And if you don't understand that, you are either (a) deliberately t

You keep citing unreviewed papers. This last one was done by a psychiatrist, apparently. I'm not convinced that herd immunity is not going to happen given the evidence you've presented. Getting vaccinated and wearing masks every 6

If you bothered to read what I wrote, fat people aren't trying to kill me, but the unvaccinated are. I will support vaccine mandates for this reason. I hope one day you will understand differential equations. I am done trying to engage

Cost of obesity was $1.4T in 2014, covid costs in excess of $16T. Just googling. I can't comment on methodology, etc. Obesity is ongoing, pandemic will eventually subside, etc. Thoughts?
745.
by greesil 5y ago
The hard data you want probably doesn't exist because there are a large number of confounding factors related to human behavior, lifting mask mandates, as other posters have pointed out. You make a good point though, I will now tell t

Don't tell me my odds when you don't know anything about me, my lifestyle, my age, etc. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-020-00698-1... Yes, I pay higher premiums because the risk pool is

My aim is to point out the absurdity of comparing obesity vaccination and viral transmission. Herd immunity? One of my responders says that's impossible and the only way to be safe is get vaccinated. You are essentially saying "he

I understand TP's point. It's nonsensical because he's comparing twinkies to eclairs. They're superficially similar but are in reality vastly different things.

So you're saying case rates are only dropping because of masks?

The paper was conclusive but the BODY of work does not in the majority agree, given the link. There is no consensus, yet. Also, "The study has not yet been peer reviewed" so maybe take it with a grain of salt. Is your latter conc
