Every single year.
They're never gonna do it, who knows why. Every year for the last several decades same exact news cycle when we spring forward or fall back.
Since they're never going to do it, I'd support legislation to ban news articles discussing it.
My area had historic heat wave very early in summer, followed by mass flooding, followed by insane cold very early in winter.
All fine. Buy moar coal.
> The study finds no evidence of Omicron having lower severity than Delta, judged by either the proportion of people testing positive who report symptoms, or by the proportion of cases seeking hospital care after infection. However, hospitalisation data remains very limited at this time.
This is the study people are linking to if you follow the maze long enough; https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc...
Relevant bit:
> Hospitalisation and asymptomatic infection indicators were not significantly associated with Omicron infection, suggesting at most limited changes in severity compared with Delta.
So you have SA saying it's milder, then you have the rest of the world with "not enough data".
Premature to be making claims either way. The study was a period less than 2 weeks.
Most vaccinations are made with dead (inactived) viruses or in some cases very weakened (live attenuated) ones that trigger the immune response without causing an actual widespread infection. The dead ones trigger a response so it might seem like you're sick, but you can't possibly get a viral infection from dead viruses. In rare cases the response can be strong for some people.
It is possible to actually get a widespread viral infection from the weakened virus type vaccination but it's also quite rare.

Also, common sense. Getting deliberately exposed to covid19 is just dumb. This article is is embarrassing - the authors are chock full of caveats and the study is full of logic issues. People are getting severe symptoms or dying with low viral loads ffs. People are getting sick or dying with high viral load, low viral load, there's really nothing definitive. So don't unnecessarily expose yourself or others to it. NYT clickbait.
Given that this is a coronavirus, I'd be expecting an inactivated style vaccination with boosters.
Last phone was a droid turbo (XT1254) and the hardware was fine, just the whole cyanogen meltdown happened. Couldn't get security updates.
Currently on an x4 on google fi; when official supports drop off, I plan to move it to LineageOS. Temped to do so regularly anyway, everytime I see the "collecting daily analytics" from Motorola go by.
I don't do much with my phone though and have zero interest in wasting thousands of dollars to chase the new hotness cycle. I would be happy using the same device for a very long time, if it was reasonable and fit my needs. Which are minimal; most thing I do with a desktop. I don't trust mobile for anything serious.. banking etc..
This right here.
No way to opt out of their stuff on an unrooted stock phone. No way to opt out of the bloatware like motorola services either. I see their crap pushing data to an analytics service. Can I block that?
I leave location off on my phone at all times when not traveling out of state, and don't use google services logged in at home, yet somehow maps.google.com starts me off in my neighborhood. Just a coincidence I'm sure.
The videos where people strip out the laugh track and it becomes clear what it is; a bunch of unfunny, uninteresting people with one super annoying jerkwad.
Glad it works for your specific use case. Assuming that all the other use cases are the same is a mistake.
People have been picking companies that line up with their ideologies to make a point, when in reality it's the whole underlying system at fault. Amazon doesn't spring up in a vacuum, nor are the only issues with them.
Take your pick; Walmart keeping people under FTE to avoid paying bennies & taking advantage of incentives to come into town, only to abandon the area and leave a service desert behind after driving out competition.. gas/oil companies getting huge subsidies even when making record profits..
My guess is we'll see these tax returns when we see the POTUS's - never.

Yes he has many good, useful and interesting points. The fact that his life has changed and can no longer dedicate the same amount of time, effort and energy as he could when he was a student with fewer responsibilities is the key non-sensationalist takeaway imo.

Hardly a new problem. People have been complaining about this for a very long time. Part of what spawned Ubuntu. These really large, old projects with huge user install bases tend to be very resistant to change for good reason.
He has some valid points but also much of what he expresses is personal preference. Things that bug him others really prefer. Who can say which is right / how things should change? *shrug*
Not the shite state of broadband internet in most regions of America.
Full 10g network at home, 10 down / 1 up with 8% packet loss.. how is fast home network helping.. most games don't push much traffic.
Here's to hoping Musk sat internet becomes a reality. Kessler Syndrome aside.
You really think this strawman would make a statistical difference when compared with the sheer amount of participation tamper-evident mail-in voting would achieve?
Weigh it against "I have one day to vote, gotta take some unpaid time off work.. now gotta find my polling station.. different every year.. oh look it's 21 miles away.. wait they say they're out of ballots.. hmm, now they say there's a hyphen in my name in their DB that doesn't match my ID" type bs many states have to deal with.
The "problem" with mail in voting is it's not absolutely perfect. It is, however, the best option we have to have the highest possible turnout of eligible voters under the current systems. Which is why it's so strongly pushed back against in highly gerrymandered states.
It's just basic human behavior. If you want people to participate, you make it as easy as possible. Tamper evident mail-in with paper trails just also happen to be the most secure method we currently have.
I got an email where the dude had the same address as mine except with an extra character their system musta not handled right.
I've been cutting down on meat consumption, it's not been easy. The misdirected email was a receipt from a rib joint;
> 10 x Cajun Boneless Wings
> 1 x Louisiana Rub Full Ribs
> 1 x Hickory Smoked BBQ Full Ribs
> 3 x Ranch
> 1 x Large Seasoned Fries
Talk about a sucker punch..
Nothing happened?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
"Through June 2018, the Special Counsel has publicly initiated criminal proceedings against 20 peopleâ"five U.S. nationals, 14 Russian nationals, and one Dutch nationalâ"and three Russian organizations."
This is just Russia, not even his other illegal doings like stuff Cohen is under investigation for. Quite the nothingburger.
"They haven't proved anything about Trump!"
No, just a bunch of his associates, including several directly involved with his administration and election campaign. I guess they all acted independently & committed crimes for teh lulz. If you believe the ultimate boss of a bunch of criminals isn't involved then you need your common sense meter checked.
So tired of the "nothing has been found" false narrative. Many indictments have come down. There are so many moving pieces, and it's such a sensitive investigation, if it had wrapped up by now it'd mean Mueller was subverted ala House investigation. "No one showed up, no one answered our questions, the WH was in direct communication with interviewees. However based on available data we can say there was absolutely no collusion"
Pretty easy to come to that conclusion when your investigation is a farce.
Yeah. I saw someone comment asking how the WH was going to spin this. Simple, they don't have to. A couple "I'll get back to you on that" from Sanders and the next nutty thing will have caused everyone to forget.
It's nearly impossible to remember all the totally nutso things that have happened. Part of a strategy, one would imagine.
