That "permanent damage" you refer to is properly termed "vaccine side effects."
That explains why unvaccinated people have more long-COVID and vaccinated people who haven't had COVID don't. I was wondering. Thanks.
Who are these unvaccinated with long covid? I have never met one. I had omicron in January 2022 and never had a recurrence because I have natural immunity. Meanwhile, vaxxed and double boosted are getting covid-19 several times. They are either getting covid again or maybe the vaccinated have long covid that is reemerging. I travelled with my wife to Quebec City during the summer and we walked an average of 16 thousand steps per day over 4 days including climbing to the Citadel and from the lower city to Chateau Frontenac when the Funicular was closed due to maintenance. If we had long covid, we would have been out of breath. Prior to January 2022, I did just fine unvaccinated with no covid-19. Strange. When I did get omicron, I had one night of fever and we just isolated the required 10 days and were fine after that. Unvaccinated who never had covid-19 also do not have long covid.
If you claim to be an old style liberal like Alan Dershowitz, then you should be fighting for people like me. I am no threat to anyone. Libertarians are trying to fight for the right of all of you to speak your mind.
Rather than abolish these rules, it would have been a better idea to add streaming services to the list of things that are harmful for the studios to own, to prevent them from controlling distribution. I'm damned if I'm signing up to 8 streaming services plus an independent for the rest of the movies, so I guess I'll be torrentting the big 8's movies now that they are getting into the streaming business, and save my money for supporting the indies.
Right, supporting the indies with warm feelings. Sorry but I'm not buying it. I thought people hated having to have cable with bundled channels that they do not necessarily want to watch and now you are complaining about separate streaming services? Make up your mind. Do you want centralized control or a la carte choice? Do you want a Netflix monopoly?
Tell me, are we to blame for the climate change on mars also? What about other planets? I wonder what the common denominator is between earth and mars? SUVs? Nope. Human? Nope. The sun and its cycles? Yes. Climate change is caused primarily by the Sun and the degree of axial tilt. The greater the axial tilt, the more variability.
Carbon taxes and other measures are based on pseudo science and only serve one purpose, a revenue source for socialists.
People are building their own desktop computers by purchasing the components they want to use. Demand is massive.
Yeah, no. The average joe/jane is not "assembling" their own PCs. Time is money for most people. Only enthusiasts are "building" PCs for themselves or their friends. Demand is not really that massive. Supply for a lot of components is constrained at times because of supply chain issues.
a resurgence in PC gaming has helped mask that a bit, fueled mostly by the insane popularity of Fortnight and PUBG, but folks are buying less and PCs. They'll buy one or two for Junior to do the homework on but they don't usually upgrade them much.
You can play fortnight on a Samsung S8.
A 600 eur iPad Pro from last year, at the things it can do, basically runs circles around most 1000 eur PCs of today.
I doubt it. My dev environment alone eats up around 16GB, that's even assuming that gcc can run on iOS, and cross-compile for my target, or that eclipse/VS/qtcreator will run on iOS, or that various creation tools (gimp, etc) will run on iOS.
Tablets are not toys because of the hardware, they are toys because they are content-consumption only devices. Those of us who produce more content than we consume won't use tablets to do the production.
Cool story bro but they are not talking about developers or other niche users. They are talking about average users who might need Office and a few other applications and do a lot of the home finance online with their browser.
Hell, a crap cobbled-together desktop PC is still far superior to either Android or iOS for getting real work done.
Even as is, there is no real technical reason that Android or iOS has to suck for serious work, it's just that the mobile platforms are generally aimed at the lowest common denominator, and the user base tends to be mostly airheaded Generation Z types who feel the need to ruin every self portrait with lame vaguely anime-style superimposed cat ears, and drive each other to violence through nasty Facebook postings.
What sort of "real work" does an average person need to do at home? Today, many workplaces even offer virtual desktop environments for their users so you can simply remote into work on your iPad or Android tablet and check work stuff without a "real" computer. You run MS Office and a bunch of other applications on tablets these days and a lot of activity is performed on the web these days from filing taxes to budgeting software.
Except it only runs a toy operating system (not even real MacOS) and lacks a filesystem. So the things it can do don't really include real work.
But if you qualify with 'the things it can do' you might be able to make a case.
You can run MS Office, run a version of illustrator as well as photoshop. What sort of "real work" that an average person needs at home are you talking about. Remember, I said "average" person not some techie nerd who wants to run LINUX.
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
