About 10 years ago, one of my jobs in a pharmacology lab involved using a very specialized microscope driven by a PC running windows 95. A new license would cost an obscene sum of money, and it did exactly what it needed to do. The same set

You’re still doing it. Anyone of any gender who ends their professional career to start a family is put at greater risk by more prevalent divorce, right? Shitty sexist traditional societal practices exacerbated the risk of exiting the workf

It sounds like in judgment of which is worse: over or underestimating the risks of the virus versus taking additional time for more testing. How many other nations are doing this besides Russia? Why not? If you’re asking me to make a bet, I

Are you arguing that the 1976 Swine Flue vaccine incident is the worst possible case or the worst possible case on record? If the former, then what is your evidence or reasoning for that? If the latter, how do we know that this is the worst

Windows is easier than either one with WSL. If two people can make that argument, maybe you can in fact make that argument? Something to consider.

Because of the environment of gas stations (easy to get in and out, open all the time, has cash on hand, not at the top of society) they typically already have really good cash handling procedures in place. They are already paying for cash

Or, you can pay $1 and use it for one month via xbox game pass for PC, or $5 if you’ve already used the $1 offer in the past. I’d strongly recommend this if you’re not very sure you’ll like the game.

It’s not a zero sum situation, everyone is responsible for their own decisions. If I ran a National Park in a high risk wildfire situation, and someone asked me if i would allow hundreds of Boy Scouts to camp at the park for months, then kn

You've pretty much described the F-35 doctrine that the US is developing. The only major difference is that an aircraft carrier or some other ship holds the drones before launch, which makes sense as the you already need the carrier to
