It became well known that getting it in a legitimate way wasn't possible, so those who were determined to get it, didn't even bother trying. If it was well known that you could get it by seeing your doctor, people would have gone

Mine doesn't have physical knobs, either. And worse, it has a flashing red indicator light, that blinks when it is plugged in and turned OFF. So maddening, had to wire up an external switch just to keep from getting angry every time

Just found this tonight, and it seems promising. It's essentially like a LSP language server, except for debugging rather than smart editor features. There are quite a few debug adapters already available: https://microsoft

Others above have been suggesting Huey as an alternative. Do you know of any reason that it falls short of Celery in a mission critical situation?

Is it an excellent example of 'cancel culture', though? Disliking something, and considering it your enemy, isn't the same as cancelling something. Did he ever try to stop one of their concerts, or demand that nobody else l

We're trying to isolate just one single claim. A claim about myocarditis alone. An article saying that the vaccine reduces complications overall, and is therefore a good choice, does not address the question of myocarditis in particu

I don't see anywhere in that article where it states that myocarditis is less prevalent in patients who subsequently get Covid. Would you mind quoting the relevant bit?

Honest question: is myocarditis and "heart disease" exactly equivalent for purposes of that assertion? In any case, you would have to subtract the percentage of people who get myocarditis from the vaccine itself, before deciding

by tux1968 5y ago
That's the point. You're still going to get Covid, so the question is, does having the vaccine reduce the prevalence of myocarditis in Covid patients? If it's the same as in the unvaccinated population, then (ignoring othe

That's only true if the vaccine reduces the chance of myocarditis in patients that go on to get Covid.

There are literally billions of unvaccinated people on the planet still, and there are unvaccinated wildlife hosts for Covid as well. It was naive to think that anything but this scenario would emerge.

A fact is true (or not) regardless of the messenger. This credo is essentially an appeal to authority rather than addressing the assertion itself.

Oh come on. Everyone else saying it's an obvious joke and now here you are claiming it's obviously a legitimate claim. Even though you can imagine a way that this information might have been collected, it obviously wasn't.

Okay, but that would work for a BT device too. I was mostly curious why BT was seen as a bad choice and more vulnerable than another option.
