I would advise people to get vaccinated, as that's the best protection against all strains of COVID and the best chance for the pandemic to be brought to an end. I'm not sure why you seem so insistent that I should be fearing the

There are plenty of other factors in determining concern including one's individual risk factors. But there's also a difference between concern and fear. Unfortunately I've seen people who are vaccinated express fear and re

To level set, my comments were mainly targeted at the US coverage of the Delta variant where the vaccination rates are largely due to choice rather than accessibility. >The difference between 95% protective and 88% is more significant th

I recognize that the Delta variant is serious topic for much of the world, but as a vaccinated person in the US it feels more like media hysteria than anything else. As the article states, for vaccinated people, the risk is low and the Delt

I think the article is overthinking it a little bit, and I think it comes down to accessibility, enthusiasm, and to a certain degree a rapid pace in terms of content. There's no doubt that YouTube has made a number of these topics far

This. I think there are so many changes that I'd like to make, but a lot of them stem from switching from everything being public and out there to being private and with restricted access. I would only hope that assuming things would

Thanks for the tips. I'm actually resin printing, rather than doing FDM, but there's still leveling the build plate. I actually had some good prints over the weekend, so I think I'm past the first few bumps in the road

My overall point was how the roll of a mechanic is not really the right comparison to a software engineer. There's always been factory repair manuals, and while repairs used to be something that were more common across brands and somet

I would recommend doing your best to try and figure out a way to not leave your job completely, yet still give yourself the time you need to build something without completely relying on doing it on the side. Can you cut your time back to

I find this interesting, as it actually emphasizes baseball's role as a _passtime_. One of the key aspects in sabermetrics is that activities that carry the risk of an out are disincentivized because baseball is not time-limited, but

WeWork's "delusion", in my view, was the amount of value they perceived themselves to add to the equation. On the consumer facing side, they were billing their space as some mass facilitator, incubator, and inspiration for s

Having married into a Greek family, I can certainly attest to this, but I'll shed a bit more light to the sentiment behind that statement. To the Greeks, the Greek church is part of their cultural identity, rather than a purely religi

You're completely right, but I'm not really suggesting it; they are being "double counted". That being said, an individual's share of the "public interest" is incredibly miniscule, and there's relativ
