All true in racing, but in the real world instead of loose gravel in open runoff areas, you have poles, trees, steel rails, massive cars, and other hard objects to run into. As the saying goes, it’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the su

Interesting experiences, but without the names of the companies (or at least what they rhyme with), what can we actually learn from your story? There’s a shit company and a great company out there, and good for you for ending up at the good

Both can be true if ~10% of the population do not have a "typical immune response" to the vaccine. This can be due to a number of factors such as age, preexisting conditions, general health, etc. Plus the immunity from vaccination

I think far more vaccine hesitancy in the US is driven by glorifying "natural immunity", especially when it's not clearly stated whether it's pre- or post-COVID immunity that's being touted. For example, I can'

I think the reason why it's so easy to spread misinformation (not just about COVID vaccines) is that there's just too many facts out there. It's easy to cherry pick facts without context to support any conclusion whatsoever.

That's kind of beside the point. With natural infection, the risk of severe illness is also much higher. So for most people trying to get "better" immunity by natural infection is not a good tradeoff. It's kind of like s

There’s also population skew since the vaccination rate is much higher among older Americans, and older people are more at risk of severe illness in general.

For the first three decades of China’s “opening up”, what they had was not coercive market power but incredibly cheap labor on a huge scale and a stable, pro-business government. And what that government did was to play the long game of req

I think the tricky part would be the linkages where you'd need an electrical connection. Making that robust enough to be in the band but not too bulky would be a serious challenge. You'd also lose the big variety of bands and the

Matching an exact string is also a valid regex, and I think the GP's simple attempt to use the substitution syntax illustrates JWZ's point even better than a more complex expression. There are so many ways of screwing it up that e
