Except it is important, since each of those regions has very strict laws regarding what is and isn’t allowed in the bottle. Sancerre is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, red Bordeaux some blend of six permitted grapes, Cab and Merlot being the primary

Pretty much any red wine you’d be drinking is 100% dry—there’s no residual sugar left in the bottle after fermentation. If by “sweet” you mean “fruity” the Cab v. Pinot comparison kind of rules that out, since American Merlot sits about hal

My favorite part of all this is that Giamatti’s character actually loves Merlot, it’s just that he’s adverse to drinking it because it reminds him of his ex-Wife. The Chateau Petrus that the two had saved (that he ultimately drinks out of

Everyone has the flu at least once in their life. Any life expectancy drop from Post Viral Syndrome is already priced in. We don’t know that COVID is any different—in absence of evidence it’s always best to assume the null case.

You have your groups backwards. The self-centered are the ones demanding society shut down in response to their own personal fears, even if that shut-down disproportionately effects others (i.e. the poor, the young, etc.) The group-centered

My point is that "Long COVID" isn't something new, and therefor is unlikely to effect life expectancy. Viruses are harmful, they cause damage that has long-lasting effects. But COVID isn't more likely to cause those effe

There is no evidence that long COVID is anything other than the Post-viral syndrome we've known for decades accompanies the flu and other illnesses.

Looking at China for numerical statistics of any sort is a fool’s errand. Nothing they report is accurate, especially with regards to COVID or the mental health of their populace.

If you're self-employed your FICA rate basically doubles. Depending on your state, that means your tax burden at $40K could be ~$9-12K. Even with a subsidy you're looking at another $2-3K for health insurance. That makes your take

Fair, I may have misunderstood GP's comment. I was under the impression they meant $40K in take-home income.

by sanedigital 5y ago
You need to add another $20K for taxes. And potentially another $10K for health insurance, depending on location. At $70K/yr you’re well into the top tercile in the US.

Change the topic to drugs instead of alcohol: "Me and all my friends are cocaine addicts. I just can't have fun without cocaine." If you've recognized that your cocaine use is detrimental to your life, does that sound li

I've had both. In 2009 my wife and I both got Swine Flu while in University. That was far and above the worst illness I've ever had. Covid was like a bad cold. I completely agree with you on the new normal regarding in office, but

Chinese stats about anything should be taken with a healthy dose of salt. According to them, zero people have died since April 2020.

If our Google Home triggers accidentally its usually easy to think back on what we said and find the offending phrase. Siri, on the other hand, seems to trigger several times a day without any explanation.

We have no idea of knowing how China is actually doing, since they haven't reported a single death since April *2020*. And even the numbers they have reported are highly unlikely to be accurate.
