I admit I don't know the narrative in the US/CDC. For what I understood reading around on various international news networks the idea it would prevent transmission via reducing the viral charge to almost zero was related to the v

The point since the start was to prevent serious cases. In my country the only target value under consideration for intensifying/reducing measures is just ICU occupations in hospital, and this rapid increase of cases, even with lower r

I have so many hobbies I could occupy (happily) maybe 10 lifetimes before getting remotely bored. Why spend the only one I have "working" for others?

Is it? Before tax I usually pay less for products in Europe than in USA, at least for all those related to electronics

The worst part is we are getting busier in useless things. We could easily cut off half of the workforce without losing any quality or quantity in the worldwide made products and services.

Microsoft just keep asking until it forces them or put them at "night hours" or while in standby in my bag so I can't refuse anymore because I am not even awake or conscious of what is happening. I want to be in control of th

I was looking at the lg gram 17 too but in the 2021 version they soldered both the ram slots and the wireless card, which is bad imho. Like I cannot even find a version with 32gb of ram and if I buy the 16gb version I will never be able to
