Yes. Some people are really angry.

True. Everybody has their own priorities. :up:

Could be. But local data says that unvaccinated vented patients have a 20% mortality rate. Vaccinated and vented have 0.02% mortality. I've been focus...

Ok. You'll most likely be infected with the delta variant between now and October. As you say, most likely you'll be fine.

The data you're using isn't for the delta variant. This is the problem with preferring data over the friendly voice.

Did Nick get the virus earlier? Has he actually tested positive in the last year?

If a friendly voice says, "No really, go ahead and do it.", I usually do.

You're risking long term loss of lung function if you don't get vaccinated.

As long as the terrorists aren't threatening US interests, nobody cares.

At least Biden doesn't say the stupidest thing anybody could possibly say. That's nice.

Me too. Sometimes a good night's sleep clears it out. Depends what it is?

I think that's all an Australian-ism.

New running joke at work: "What did we learn today?" "Get vaccinated."

Could be. I'll look again. Maybe we don't mean the same thing by "singularity.". Did you get a chance to watch this video? https://youtu.be/chsLw2siRW...

Don't you ever get self-righteous as hell over stuff you can't really do anything about?

I'm a bit overloaded with it myself at the moment. You'll have to lift your part. :grin:

We don't know. What we see is flat. Read my whole post.

No, it's flat and Euclidean. As I said, the prevailing view now is that there was no singularity of any kind. Big bangs happen from time to time in a ...

There will be some gruesome times, I'm sure, but stress is fuel for creativity, as Harry Lime pointed out. Who knows what we'll come up with?

The people who adapt to it will think it's cool as shit. They'll be heartbroken when it cools down again. The worst part of the temperature spike will...

Life is messy. Embrace it.

That's the prevailing view in physics right now. No singularity.

They've actually looked to see if the universe shows overall curvature, and it doesn't. As far as we can see a modified Euclidean geometry does work. ...

You may know all of this already, but it correlates with what you said about lifestyle issues: https://youtu.be/-s5szfPYKY4

Yep. Me too.

I was taking care of a guy a while back who, while in the kind of mental haze COVID-19 can cause, said "I'm losing everything." He was talking about h...

Aren't they actually going to do 70%? I think the ethics of Australian liberation from lockdown are perhaps new territory for us. They're making the k...

me too.

yep

Yep. Well said. The topic is like a blender. On the slow speed, we think of art and science as two avenues for expressing the zeitgeist, and history s...

But why now? Have the little guys been doing this all along and we didn't notice? Or did something change?

I was thinking that in talking about this it would help to point to a particular kind of art. What you do with Warhol can't really be done with Rembra...

Or Australia. We can pretty accurately predict how many Australians are going to die when they come off lockdown. Jeese

Maybe that's the point. All decent art is somewhat ambiguous. If we looked at science the same way, we would see the myth in it and back off if claims...

I see. It's just exuberance among the little guys. :up:

I don't think this is in keeping with neuroscience, is it?

It makes interesting art. Do you like Anselm Kiefer?

Banno's come to be a peacemaker where there was no war. :chin:

As long as I get my percentage, I don't care what's moving to whom. Sounds about right.

The US invaded Afghanistan on behalf of Russian helicopter manufacturers?

Just steer clear of Sweden. :lol:

There's nothing stopping them.
