Sure but knowing that the efficacy of the flu shot has been less than 50% for most years of my life (in my region) it seemed like a coin toss not to get it but a 100% chance of feeling lousy if I did.

My gripe was them claiming the vaccine would prevent you from getting or spreading covid despite knowing that was not true. It has now devolved to the vaccine will make covid suck less if you get it, there's a non-zero risk of complica

I recall government sources and pharma claiming >90% efficacy for the mRNA shots, which alone seemed absurd for a virus we knew was mutating at a rapid rate. They also claimed you could not contract or transmit the virus if you were &quo

I got covid in early 2021, and got the J&J shot at the end of the year. In both cases I had a fever, except the J&J lasted two days vs actual covid that lasted one. I have not been sick with covid since then. I have never had a flu

>Comments were the the organic voice of the public The comments were likely just reactionary brigading of the misinformed as reddit, google, facebook, etc. sent mobs of people to flood the site. I could not care less if comcast wants to

AOSP is Android without the google botnet stuff. If you are using an Android device that has play store it's got google's frameworks and apps running on top of AOSP. Think of AOSP like chromium, and your typical android firmware l

Is Tesla's brake system electronic? Man I have serious anxiety about everything being an electronic system in modern cars. Say what you will about reliability but I like knowing when I press the brake/throttle/clutch or turn

People are too disinterested in politics to elect good representatives. They buy into fear-mongering and propaganda with no effort. Just because the representatives suck doesn't mean the system does. A direct democracy would be a catas

Certainly, but Elden Ring and other FromSoft games are not made for the casual crowd. They have a set difficulty level intentionally so that everyone can share the same feeling of accomplishment. My main gripe was not that BotW isn't E

I am requesting that publicly share all of your text messages for the past 10 years. Surely you have nothing you wouldn't want public, or things that any group would find offensive.

I was shocked the last time I used Google without an adblocker. The first 4-5 search results were ads. I had to scroll to get to the first actual result. There also seems to be less effort to distinguish ads from regular links. I wonder w

I can negotiate on my own. I see no reason to ever join a union when they are almost always run by people as incompetent as this. No thank you.

It's more troubling that people are buying into this because of whatever preconceived notions they have of Musk (whether organic or influenced by the media they consume). People in general should be skeptical of everything they read in

How would one launch from Alaska and head southeast? Wouldn't that send you straight over Canada? I know of a small launchpad, Poker Flats which is north of Fairbanks but it's specifically for polar orbits. I think Kodiak has a la

In the same way your average person doesn't care about privacy, they don't care about Elon Musk's shenanigans. Twitter is not failing in the way his detractors continue to hope. Bluesky will never gain any more traction than
