Wouldn't you prefer good data to a large sample size? It's Facebook. It's a wacky domain to begin with.

To avoid any of that confusion, the authors could have just verified the data. So you misrepresent me in retaliation. Ridiculous as usual.

I have ideas about what the Iraq invasion was about, but I'm just a tiny ant on an anthill, so who knows? I think the ant colony perceived that somebo...

The US has a vibrant conservative streak. Bush appealed to that, I guess. Lack of experience probably.

.. We're all descended from people who turned to markets to meet the needs of communities when there was no Fatherland to organize things. Markets hav...

Notice that Banjo did exactly what you suggested. He didn't know it was flawed. He threw it out because he didn't like it.

It's "what the fuck" or wtf. There's no mother in there.

Sure. The plan was never to occupy the middle east. It was just: kill Saddam and run, leaving behind Vietnam on the Tigris. This was Wolfowitz's plan.

It's very stupid research. Meanwhile, someone in Alabama is charging people $250 for vaccination and people are refraining because they can't afford i...

The data came off Facebook with no verification. That's enough to ignore it.

The goal was to democratize the whole middle east starting with Iraq. It was supposed to build into a democracy snowball the way it apparently did in ...

To stay at 70%, we'll have to give boosters.

You probably just drank too much coffee.

I think they all agreed that testability is good, but that frequently comes late. It's certainly science prior to discovery of ways to test.

I know a guy who was infected and never got long term antibodies, just the short term ones (we're all enrolled in antibody research).

The vaccines only give you antibodies for 7-8 months. Then you're unvaccinated again.

Good. You understand that when you folks come off lockdown, the delta variant will become endemic there. It will be all over the place. People will di...

And this is what you previously posted: You should understand that post vaccination, you can easily be carrying the delta variant. Yes, vaccination he...

That's still going to be true post vaccination.

To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace. -- Tacitus

I see. It's just that when you say things like 'I trust you'll die soon' it makes you sound more bitter than annoyed.

could you maybe get a little more bitter about the whole thing?

I think you'll eventually be banned here as well.

Why? Do they use walnuts instead of almonds? I'm allergic to walnuts But does "walnut" actually refer to something? Or is it just a sound we make to e...

How was it traditionally organized in Finland?

Yes. That was sort of the reason for the federally funded transcontinental railroad and universal telephone service. Competing entities just couldn't ...

It hasn't been for a long time now Yes. It's a feature of gridlock. My question was more about principles than what's wrong with the US. This is the s...

My dogs do love them.

Well said, yes.

Oats, powdered almonds, sunflower seeds, Italian seasoning and milk. Puree and spread on baking sheet. Makes good crackers.

Makes sense, but my experience with for-profit hospitals is that that just trim the staff down to bare bones and charge the same thing non-profits cha...

Markets have been the real world since the end of the Bronze Age. I don't think you're taking a particularly serious approach to your own question.

It could be both. See HG Wells' Time Machine. Our species emerged from a stew of intermingling groups in Africa. It can go the other way as well: we c...

Believe it or not, I'm not in charge of the world.

If you're in the US and your life is in danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. They'll take care of you. No abandonment.

Where is this happening?

So that entirely refutes the argument? Socialism doesn't work because USSR. Zing.

Yes. It's not really apples to apples tho. A fair portion of what a doctor does in the UK is done by nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician's assi...

It all looked kind of reddish purple.

How do you see that relating to the OP?

Yes, as opposed to the issue being what's wrong with the USA.

Yes. I know a guy whose teen was vaccinated and something went awry with his heart. They don't know yet if it will clear up or if it's permanent. Neve...
