Yes, but they are capable of infecting others. This fucking infuriates me so much because this is my mother. She survived covid just like my father, is left with permanent lung damage on top of diabetes type 2. My father survived prostate cancer and has a defunct immune system. They are 70 years old. My…
I think it’s that the birds more follow the contrails than the planes themselves but I could be wrong. I just know from the various camp managers and other scientists down there (particularly biologists) that told me once a Tern or Skua. Last year, I deployed on a research ship off the coast of West…
Trump on B? Who knows? According to Trump his big accomplishments as President were for the veterans. Trump has had the best numbers, right? The data cannot refute this correlation. Tax breaks? Right, OK. No company or human has failed due to too much taxes. Trump doesn’t even pay his taxes. But we don’t talk…
For me and probably many others, it was Denplan. I absolutely loved their content, the group dynamic was so amazing and every video they made was an absolute banger and a half. But, after hearing about how badly Stephen was mistreated and considered as just an “employee” despite being such a major part of their…
When insurance carriers have an enrollment period, they get both sick and healthy people signing up which prevents “adverse selection”, meaning the insurance carriers don’t get only sick people signing up when they need it. You can’t just sign up for health insurance when you get sick (the same way you can’t just sign up…
Yeah, I try to consciously not behave or take action on the sole basis of wanting approval from someone, but there are times where I do feel actual physical pain or anguish if I feel like I disappointed someone. I’d even feel it if I did nothing or was uninvolved, but could still be considered…
Since it’s been brought up more than once, yes, after Florida started recounting votes, the gap was smaller than 1,700. However, the point of that comparison is to show how much smaller the gap would need to be for a recount to even have any potential so it makes a lot more sense to compare…
I think you’re expecting a level of personal infrastructure for families that just don’t exist. Like it or not, fast food is one of the pillars of our economy. Everyone’s gotta eat, some people gotta eat on the road. Some people don’t even live near grocery stores. We rely on them for food. Buy it: …
The supply side is even more straightforward. There exists no supply chain that can handle the diversion of all restaurant foodstuffs into grocery supply chains. The food would literally rot in large quantities, and stores would simultaneously be unable to meet increased demand from all the people who would have been eating fast food. Buy…
That goes for most of the close action scenes in the Terminator movies, if something like that got any kind of hold on you, you are dead, it can crush steel so our flimsy human bodies would have chunks torn out of them. Plus how oddly inaccurate their targeting and pathfinding is, it’s almost like…
