To put it even further into perspective, that's 2x as much as comparable western nations with single-payer, who have similar or better outcomes in most cases.

Cat Cat6a is a pain to retrofit as it's stiffer and thicker than Cat6 in most cases. It's also more expensive (less so than before, but the delta is still there) If each run is <55m then Cat6 can still do 10Gbps.

When I was at university I dated a med student - a woman they knew had the surname De'ath - so when they graduated they would be Dr De'ath. Sadly I do not know if said med student became a pathologist ...

If only you'd known DOS shipped with Q-Basic! After we got a Cyrix 386 back in the 80's I moved on from Commodore Basic (on the C128) to that, then Turbo Basic, Turbo Pascal and then Turbo C.

The only reason I still have Netflix is because it's essentially free on my satellite TV package - I think I pay £2 extra a month because it's mostly covered by their "on demand" package, which I wanted anyway.

It's still a long way off - have a look at the recent Linus Tech Tips challenge where he and Luke had to daily drive Linux for a month. They're technical people, and yes, LTT is hammed up a bit (I call it the Top Gear of Tech), bu

Yes - it looks cartoonish at first, but you get over that quickly. The positional audio is on point as well.

This - I played Vader Unleashed and at one point I was on a platform that was hovering hundreds of feet up and damn, I felt wary of looking over the edge. It's also led to much faster laptimes in my sim racing, you can judge breaking p

Beat Saber is also a good workout - arms moving all over the place, and once you get into the Vol 2+ tracks plenty of squats as well.

The core difference is between arguing something, and stating something is a fact. Just like if you offered homeopathy "medications" or natural cures and stated they are curative, you're likely to fall under jurisdiction of m

The reason is the attenuated Polio vaccine CAN cause infections in other people - but no Covid vaccine uses an attenuated virus, they're either mRNA, viral vector (the virus not being covid) or inactivated Virus (Covax for example). Th

Do you have examples you can share of people censored for raising the question, not declaring as a definitive fact?

You didn't answer the question ... what are some examples of posts, or viewpoints that are, according to you, verboten? And didn't the GOP helmed investigation find that there was a concerted disinformation campaign waged by Russi

How is content moderation "denying people the right to participate in the democratic process"?

How much of that was people passing those things off as fact, when there wasn't the evidence to back them up? The problem is, everyone thinks they've become an epidemiologist and virologist over the last 18 months, people jump ont
