It's possible (although maybe not likely) that this guy really _did_ deserve to be put on PIP, and the team transfer request is completely incidental. Unless we can know for sure, or at least from a less biased source, we probably shou

There were also tens of thousands of years where you got TB and died aged 26, but I'll still take modern medicine when offered.

This feels like really bad faith argumentation. You haven't engaged with the point being made -- that the tools _might_ actually make the job easier. You're just reiterating your view that "I didn't need these tools, so

Although, if you're interested in one offering on a service, you really only need to be actively subscribed for 1-2 months a year (to watch the newest season)?

It feels like you've made an unnecesarrily conspiratorial leap here, when a much simpler variant will do. In this case -- people who watch WWE also tend to watch (or are more likely to watch) the things being reccomended to the OP: cry

It's interesting that you're concerned about the long term _effects_ of boosters, but COVID is nothing to worry about since you're only concerned with _deaths_. Seems disengenous.

It does matter when. Outcomes are dramatically better if your local healthcare system isn't overloaded.

But you're still completely dependant on the game company to do the right thing. A license exists so that it can connect to the license server -- which is owned by the game company -- which then allows you to play. You're still at

I think the downside of seatpost/stem is that it's more easy to check. Good point about RF, didn't consider that. I still think it's within the realms of possibility though?
