Can you expound on this? First I'm hearing of it, and I can't find anything about former CIA helping to organize.

Taxing the rich is not going to solve any of this. It may help some, but it's nothing like the panacea certain people pretend it is. If we took all the assets from all the billiona…

I'm totally on board with a gaming-focused distro from Valve. I'll switch the second they get proper Nvidia GPU support. So far, no luck with that.

But water doesn't make me as happy.

Logic Pro does this. Even GarageBand (free if you have an Apple device) has pretty decent AI drummers.

I find this to be profoundly depressing. I've just recently re-discovered the joy of writing my own songs, and playing them with (actual) instruments. It's something I get immense …

Why not both?

Stunningly beautiful write up, Lars. You have an amazing gift. God bless you and your family.

To be fair, I'm not sure choosing electric over gasoline cars at that time would have much effect on our current climate situation, assuming equal timelines for renewable tech. All…

The more worrying thing here is the "circulate" part. Meaning that the lipid packages containing the mRNA sequences are traveling throughout the body, instead of staying at the inj…

To add to this, there has been evidence that the spike proteins created by the mRNA sequences stay around in the body longer than expected. CDC has now implicitly admitted this. CD…

How are they getting these cars? They only offer Teslas, and ordering a (new) Tesla right now puts you at least 6 months out from delivery.

Repairability is certainly something that could be improved, and extending the life of your machine is great for the environment. However, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a m…

Those two things are not mutually exclusive, and likely go hand-in-hand.

Western Europe definitely gets the better end of the deal on the Gulf Stream. Places like Spain and France get the pleasant end of the stream that brings slightly warmer weather th…

Give every home owner 30-year locked interest rate mortgages at It makes no financial sense to sell a property locked into such a low interest rate while rates are moving up. Combi…

Reminder that many European countries do not suggest the vaccine for children, and some have even banned it in the case of Moderna.

Covid-19 vaccines don't prevent infection, and it is impossible to achieve herd immunity with them. These are facts, and they are relevant to the comment I was originally replying …

I wasn't implying that Covid is harmless, only that vaccinating children against it should be a choice given the data on risks/benefits we currently have.

It's a neutral point. Neither the vaccine or the virus have been around long enough for long-term data.

Data from other countries with a >90% vaccinated rate for Covid would suggest otherwise. Take a look at Israel or Ireland in the past few months, for example. Israel is currently d…

You're right, no vaccine is 100% effective. But there are vaccines that are more than ~75% effective at preventing infection, which is the number that Fauci kept mentioning when th…

Sure, here's some research: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm As of last week, a total of 727 children 0-17 have died from Covid since the pandemic started,…
