I feel this way about the vaccine. “95% effective at preventing infection” etc etc. I really believed it would stop transmission which we also know now is not true. Should have been more skeptical. And before you say “that was before varian

Nothing in here about disabling adware, which is pretty much the only thing I care about.

We’re already seeing a huge disparity between states, with strong enforcement of social distancing NOT correlating with a reduced death rate. The point is we don’t fully know yet what the best policy will be. By leaving it up to the states,

As the saying goes, don’t build a tower until you’ve counted the costs, because of you only get it built halfway people will mock you. All of these changes look good and quite frankly progressive (highest made a max of 4x the lowest, for ex

Unfortunately I see a lot of parallels here, such as declassifying a lot of embarrassing information knowing it will get covered up by covid news.

I'm still sbuurprised at how many people think we don't have buildings because of NIMBY residents, or because of lack of space. Our building issue is entirely self-inflicted. Do most people even know what it takes to remove an ord

I like hobby lobby because it’s one of the few places I can get good craft supplies for my kids, I suppose that’s why I “shilled” for them here (your words). Besides, I think the negative sentiment towards them is obviously politically driv
