So you're saying that 20 years ago you were making what is equivalent to $94,000 today (adjusted for inflation) working in a diner. According to this US News and World Reports site…

Thank you for this. As an amateur I knew the difference existed, but I was never sure how to tell them apart. And if I had ever actually thought about it I would have googled, but …

And why so many Christian preachers use a very sing song tone (and even sing in some traditions).

To summarize what I understood from the (too long IMO) article... There might be something useful in the blockchain, specifically in how it seems to make a certain class of transac…

I mean, it probably was a "luxury" car when it was new. They do not hold their value though.

Rather than regret minimization, I prefer to focus on try maximization. IE try as many new things as you can. Obviously there are some things that you should never try. Things that…

> But 10 years later somehow you don't know quite know what problems are worth working on This assumes the company will be around in 10 years and that I am still working there.

Vaccination requirements were also litigated at USSC, over a century ago: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/09/08/vaccine-ma... I am an independent software developer and…

Driver's Licenses and the need to show ID and submit to a search certainly do apply. I and a lot of people do have to save a write a check (I pre-pay estimated actually). You do no…

The evidence suggest the exact opposite of you are saying. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.abi9915

Sorry it took so long. Had a work fire to put out. Here you go: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.abi9915

You're correct that link doesn't. Sorry. Let me go find the other one. I'll be back.

At this point, anyone who cares to know the facts already know them. The only arguments that will convince the hold outs are pathos. It's your grandmother. You can choose how to tr…

If my kids walk around knowingly infecting people with a deadly communicable disease for which there is a free and safe vaccine for... then yes.

And as other others have pointed it out, you're much less likely to pass it along, get sick, be hospitalized if you have had the vaccination. And you're comparing a very small risk…

I would be totally okay with treating it like a driving accident. You're free not to get the shot, but in the case that you contract Covid you then open yourself up to civil liabil…

That is evil and brilliant and I love it. We should go into business together. :-)

Actually having had to wear a gas mask in the military for hours... I would LOVE to see this. If you think an N-95 grade mask is hard to breathe though, try wearing an NBC mask for…

To trot out an old saw: "Your rights end and the tip of my nose." You do not have a Deity-given right to infect other people with disease.

I mean you're correct, in that since > 80% of Americans got all their required vaccines in childhood there was no need to mandate it for adults, but it's a very oblique sort of cor…

Not sure why you think that's a problem. The vaccines offer better protection against variants than having had COVID and recovering. Edit: Apparently this is new information to peo…

And yet they can have enough of a viral load to pass it along to any non-healthy people they come in contact with. Which is why this NOT a personal health issue, it's a public heal…
