Fair enough, makes more sense now. Rereading it I believe I read your comment incorrectly.

I would argue that the vector in this case is other humans. I.e. oncoviruses use humans as their vector to spread.

So you can come into contact with people who might have cancer caused by a virus, and these people may infect you with the same virus that may then give you cancer. The end scenario being that you developed cancer by coming into contact with another human being.

So, with your superior knowledge of analogies, your suggestion is....?

I'll give you mine. We give more targeted education about vaccines, we give more free vaccines, we give rewards for vaccines, etc.

I don't support punitive measures that will get anti vaccine proponents hackles up and possibly doubly punish children.

One?

Oncovirus is a class of viruses.

For example, the human papilloma virus. The HPV vaccine immunises against 9 different strains of HPV.

Australia has been paying unemployed people $890 USD (plus extras on top of that) per month for decades (adjusted for inflation annually of course). The amount of long term unemployed people paid this is over 577,000.

This income is paid specifically to help them find work. Australia keeps some of the best population statistics around and you now have enough people to "determine the economic impact on any sort of measurable scale."

I'm not super knowledgeable on this but...

Socially beneficial policies driven by a democratically elected government that taxes the income from the workers in the free market economy does not equal socialism. I.e. publicly funded health initiatives does not equal socialism.

It is so far away from socialism it's not even worth putting them in the same sentence.

Not a useful anecdote to dissuade people away from one of the companies that did in fact update many 5+ years old motherboards with firmware updates for Spectre and Meltdown.

Rest assured, every motherboard maker out there has a certain percentage of products returned as faulty every year. Yours was one of them.

You jumped the gun a little there in regards to ASRock.

Reasons for not seeing them on the second hand market:
- people are keeping them because they are going strong
- they don't have high resale value so they are binning them instead of selling them
- they are failing prematurely
- or most likely of all, your sample of the second hand motherboard market is incredibly small

"I even saw a Ted talk by a woman claiming that women were biologically designed to start having children after 35 years old"

That's crazy talk.

At the age of 31, 50% of women are subfertile!

Between the ages of 30 and 40, live birth rates from a conception almost halves!

Let me guess... You didn't do a study to get the data to be able to make this claim? Am I right?

(thank you for reminding me about that picture that is - it's a funny pic)

I know. What a shameful state of affairs to be such a big ecomomy and having to play follow the leader. Chin up cobber.

No really, thank you.

Don't stop there - it's to the tune of 50000 installations in one scheme and another 40000 installations in a second scheme.

This is ripe for a more in depth analysis.

"The court" didn't rule on anything. A single person, Jayme Sophir, associate general counsel of the NLRB’s division of advice, decided in an analysis that “the statements regarding biological differences between the sexes were so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected.”

Basically, without actually providing any counter-evidence to dispute any claims made by Davore, she dismisses his claims as discriminatory and of a sexually harassing nature.
