Purchased. Finding a good book makes wading through a thousand asinine comments worthwhile. Thanks for the recommendation.

I skimmed it and disagreed with it. Generally, if you can't win an argument based on logic, and then emotional appeals, then you can fall back on jurisdiction. You can attack the other person's credibility (you have no jurisdictio

The offending stuff > 2ppm in the list is mostly sprays. With I think one exception none of the offenders are zinc oxide, either.

Cool. Well you just wasted at least ten minutes of your life thinking about something that I posted disingenuously in order to demonstrate that whataboutism is about distraction rather than have me trying to stay on topic and directly addre

I support equality of outcome. Everyone should be poor. It builds character, and makes for better writers. A nation's progress should only be measured by the literature it generates, and then forces its children to read.

The 500 point karma limit should probably be inflation adjusted as well.

I don't even know where to begin. How did you come up with in group vs out group? Who in this is the in group?

That would be true if there was no difference between seeking equality and justice vs. scapegoating Naziesque goose-stepping grievances. I say this as someone who gets annoyed by politically active coworkers. Not all ideologies are created

I'm sorry, but I disagree

Try and look deeper. Sometimes an extreme example at the 99.9999th percentile can bound the problem. In this case, it demonstrates how well people can separate work from home.

Guaranteed to start a fight. Awesome. Please try not to generalize about an ENTIRE state from one article.

Oh I'm totally in favor of pushing fat granny in front of the trolley. Take the utilitarian approach! But it does kill younger people in lesser numbers, and potentially permanent damage to be people's brains, cardiovascular system

I remember it very well. Yep, they said flatten the curve. People did, there was confusion about masks, guidance changed. The president said some things about bleach, lockdowns, recession, NYC overloaded, stimulus, reopenings, public prote

Perhaps reality is too nuanced to fit into a single sentence? Or new information comes along that updates our understanding of the world?

The goal was to minimize casualties and human misery, to prevent what some countries are going through right now. Flatten the curve was a slogan.

Sometimes I need to take a break from the singularity, you know?

Smart dogs are working dogs. If they've got no work, they'll get up to bad things usually because you've left them in your house all day. If you want a pet, get a dumb dog. Or, a very lazy breed, like a greyhound.

The Laundry Files are pretty entertaining.

There is some overlap here with the plot of a science fiction book Accelerando. I guess the singularity is here but it's not what we expected.

Half facetious. The being likeable skill seems transferable. I'm sure it takes skill to do it well, but it's not my cup of tea.

Why does the data change so much on the boundaries of states? I would expect the data to be locally correlated, and there wouldn't be discrepancies between neighboring rural counties that are in different states.
