The paper doesn't even use it consistently. At first it uses "all-cause mortality" to mean "all causes except COVID", and then in the results section it uses the same phrase to mea…

Rule 110 is only Turing-Complete if you have an infinitely large array of cells, and are able to initialize it with an infinite repeating pattern. If I'm not mistaken, HTML+CSS can…

Awesome [hunted [___ crackers are ironically vegan]]! I found the d[[not amateur, abbreviated]gramming construct preceding "else"]ficulty just [___ to remain [___ but deadly]].
