Hey I'm super interested in such sysadmin work if you could describe it here or share it on another channel (email in bio). Many thanks.

They use a spacer gif :P. I would like something that can infer a structure from rendered output and not HTML structure, just because if something can do this, it can do anything.

That's assuming we're containing it at all. This all seems very hubristic to me, but I just wanted to point out the assumption. It's not because we do things that burden us to a degree that the virus' spread is also burd

And yet their case rates are booming (top 3 in the world) and their deaths curve looks very similar to the 1st wave.

If I'm not mistaken, these claims stem from studies modelling droplet diffusion, obviously no experiment could pass ethics for an actual infection exposure. I guess to each their own, but I am highly skeptical of the value of these kin

Of Covid or with covid? With omnicron being so widespread my sense is it's almost impossible not to catch it in a hospital.

Obesity is the #1 reason covid is a problem though. And metabolic syndrome, nearly the same thing.

what if they're actually much healthier than average (because of other personal choices)? and what about all the other bad decisions people do wrt. their health (which is what causes the vast majority of healthcare expenditures)?

Canada has 3+ years higher life expectancy than the US, that implies better overall health. Also lower obesity rates (29.4% vs 36.2%). Source: https://www.indexmundi.com/factbook/compare/canada.united-st...

In Covid-19. I've recently taken interest in Nigella Sativa and quinones. Nigella Sativa's main active compound is thymoquinone, and it has scores of research showing significant benefits to immune function. In Covid-19, this mani

I don't know, I just see the virus has evolved into a very mild variant that even triple-vaxed don't seem protected from, and that the original vaccine has been designed with a spike protein that has since greatly mutated.
529.
by lambdaba 5y ago
For the vax, with omnicron being so mild, it seems like a bad trade-off to get vaccinated with v1 Covid with it's presumably more nasty spike protein rather than risk infection (which seems unavoidable anyway?) also, it's known th

Having omnicron "rip through" would actually be a great thing, I've just read an article from Belgium saying they have no patients with omnicron in ICUs. It does seem some people need supervision but I presume the load is muc

Mozilla should finance something like this and make an OS. Call it Firefox OS. Oh, wait But in all seriousness I would use a Chrome OS made by Mozilla with a daring new interface (tabs everywhere!), unixy with a brand new text shell, etc.

I vaped it. It all evaporated every time. And I've tried multiple vendors, I know how the powder looks like, are you suggesting there's a cutting agent or what? Why would a reputable company do that? It's not a very reasonabl

Are you sure about that? I've bought CBD isolate several times from (decently vetted) online vendors... pretty sure it was pure CBD Still, pretty amazing CBD would "block" entry of the virus in cells, or something like that (

Right? Ivermectin is reportedly extremely safe at normal doses, and parasites are an issue everywhere I would think, to an extent. Why not advocate for screening for parasites if getting rid of them has such a dramatic effect?

by lambdaba 5y ago
Could you share a link to such a debunking? I could search, but you probably have one that you find most convincing.
539.
by lambdaba 5y ago
All the big proponents of Ivermectin I've seen always insisted on the importance of early treatment. I feel like the "anti" crowd purposely insisted on the null results in other situations.

by lambdaba 5y ago
I've seen other similar results, and I don't share this skepticism. I can't find the exact study, but here's one on hospital staff in Argentina: https://www.cureus.com/articles/64807-prophylactic-rol
