While I agree comparing countries can be apples and oranges, it makes sense to compare the Scandinavian countries. That Norway and Finland were much lower strongly suggests Sweden's strategies worsened things.

Just because he has no expertise in it doesn't make it unrelated. If you're living a country that regularly murders journalists, that's relevant to taking positions on journalism in other countries.

"unrelated issue"? How could it possibly be unrelated?

When I used to be able to get Kosher for Passover sugar sweetened Coke, I absolutely could tell the difference - did multiple blind tests. It's possible the sucrose hasn't had time to fully break down in recently bottled Coke. The

I had sliced ezekiel bread today. It's rather absurd to lump that in the same category as junk food.

Since you seem to be knowledgeable, care to comment on this: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-environme... It very much sounds like it directly contradicts your confident tone.

Unfortunately communism is horrible for individual privacy, liberty, and often life everywhere it's been tried, because humans suck.

Shouldn't new plane development be shifting to ghg neutral solutions? This seems like it's moving in the wrong direction.

Oh, how well can I hear the difference in quality, from my laptop speakers? Geez, I'd have a better chance on my phone, and that would be no chance at all. I listen to Tidal through a USB DAC connected to a preamp -> amp -> respe

"Life is simply much worse than most people think..." What a weird statement. Your life is literally exactly as good or as bad as you think it is.

That's awful. I'm sorry for you and your family. "He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures" A vaccine will certainly cause the body to fight

I have an old 4gb ram 11" macbook air that's more or less dedicated to streaming video and music these days. For video, we use firefox over chrome because chrome stutters more. Firefox is smooth. I have no idea why, but I'm g

Disagree completely. This is war. Governments fight wars. It's one of the primary roles of government. In WW2 all sorts of prioritization and direction came from government. This should be the same.

Conservatives are in no way synonymous with Trump Republicans. Many of the stalwarts of conservatism have not just disavowed Trumpism, but have worked actively against it. Much of the discussion in modern (Trump) Republican circles would be

I was a long term subscriber at the $10/mo tier. I kept it specifically because of the higher bitrate. Youtube music doesn't have that higher bitrate. They lost me to Tidal Hifi.

Funny how you don't think about pain and how debilitating it can be until you experience it. I had some kind of bizarre arthritis in my ankle at the beginning of the year. First they said it was gout. When gout remedies didn't hel

Sweden didn't have an official lockdown, but they encouraged safer behavior and already have more work from home and single people living alone than other places. That would not have worked in the US, and in truth it didn't work a

By that definition of hysterical I'm pretty sure the media were hysterical during WWII as well.

There's also the possibility of a treatment that dramatically lowers deaths. That would be a game changer. As will widespread serological testing that allows those with antibodies to move freely and return to non-essential work.

The flip side is even 1% of a populace dying is going to impede daily life even if we were all sociopaths. In reality, once hospitals get overloaded, the number is quite a bit higher than 1%. So to do nothing would also be choosing economic

I think it's putting the cart before the horse. Improve the public transit first. I also have very little confidence that congestion pricing revenue would be spent wisely.
