This can't be for a 3 mile ride, otherwise I'd be built like a whippet. Are those aggregated caloric burn estimates? I would expect to ride 12 or 15 miles to burn 500 calories.

But the important point is the abuse of power to silence whistleblowers, not the specific code used against them.

A severe finger wagging with a "this time I'm serious" chaser ought to do it.

It can certainly be done, and is far preferable, but not everyone can do it. Some gifted people cannot figure out the nice-yet-respected balance. They then get to choose between ineffective ignominy or being a high-achieving asshole that can, despite their demeanor, yield wins and benefits for the whole team.

And then there are those completely devoid of effective leadership styles. They can't even get the asshole routine to work for them.

The auto-lobotomizer will handle such calculations.

Calm down old man, we're just talking here. No need to get all fuckity-fuck with your words of wisdom.

Because a statistical shift as such may explain what's happening around us. And, incredibly, I scraped together the patience to put up with Internet randos harping about how stupid my question, and by extension myself, must be.

I'm not prepared to explain the apparent 60% resistance boost from the Israeli study I read about. Maybe they're making it up. Perhaps there was a bizarre chain of events giving such a result. Or maybe there is a biological event neither of us is familiar with at play. Consult your text of choice.

I would guess the immune system you mention that "is hard trained to kill the buggers quickly" might reduce the shed rate of vaccinated carriers. Maybe this would approach a statistically trivial number of downstream infections.

Of course none of the event firing chances are reduced to zero. But are they sufficient to alter the course of the pandemic? Does India now have an army millions strong that are vaccinated, still subject to infection, unlikely to develop symptoms, will then go on mingling instead of realizing they are infected and quarantining, then spread further infections?

I think that's a reasonable question but, please, accept my sincere apologies if you already know the answer and reading this disturbs your interwebs harmony. I'll show myself back down the mountain.

If you are vaccinated can you still transmit COVID though? Being the 95% effectiveness rate is vs sickness/symptoms, not infection, this should be a relevant question. I haven't checked lately but an Israeli study a few weeks ago suggested a boosted protection against infection around 60% for Pfizer.

I think the US is sending millions of doses to Mexico, so those 60m may already be largely spoken for.

Sure, buddy, all allocations are equal. I wouldn't manage it any other way. No true community organizer would. *nod nod* *wink wink* You rascal.

As long as I'm the one allocating resources I have no problem with this.

I haven't used Google search in about 6 years.

I'm not proud of it, and sometimes wondered if I am the only one, but I used Bing (of all search engines) for quite a while. It got me answers on all manner of topics.

Been using Duck for some time now tho. No complaints. I'll see how it does for a year or so.

When you're not working your part time gigs as Russian operatives in election meddling campaigns.

There's actually a pretty good reason no one was killed - it was an empty building in the middle of the night. Also, he was driving, not shooting. Also, he wasn't an adult. Also, he resigned as CEO. Well, fuck, everything's wrong.

We can speculate that he didn't murder worshipping Jews because he lacked sufficient balls and stew on that while keeping the organ harvester primed and ready. Because it scratches some peculiar itch.

There's also a race component, because of course there is. Certain "black districts" have longer lines. The number of people that handed water out at these lines during recent elections is yet undetermined, as is the number of people expected to be disenfranchised by this draconian prior-hydration requirement.

Well if the AI managed to write a Nirvana "hit" song instead of a b-side track things would get really complicated.
