The problem there is not the motivation, but that they are trying to solve the wrong problem.

"don't care how you solve the homeless problem, as long as they're safely off the street"

I'd accept that even if the motivation was that homeless people are driving down property values, or that they're the wrong color, or whatever.

No it isn't. North America is a continent, and South America is a continent, and "The Americas" refers to both, but "America" does not and has never specified a continent.

You don't need to filter viruses to capture COVID19, you need to capture water droplets.

Yes, it's not 100% effective, nothing is. Boring masks work *well enough* (because they just have to capture droplets!) to reduce transmission.

Why should artists be treated any differently than plumbers or electricians?

I use the plumbing in my house everyday, but I don't have to pay the plumbers kid a nickel every time I do.

But it's not the ID that has to be free - it's the *process to get the ID* that has to be free.

Requiring people to go across town to the one location that is only open business hours to get the 'free' ID isn't free for people that have to work those hours.

Your fundamental error is assuming that the purpose of vaccines is to prevent infections. The goal of vaccines is two-fold - reduce hospitalizations, and reduce long term complications. One *possible* way to do that would be to prevent infections, but that is not the only way.

There are oceans of data that show that the COVID vaccines are doing *exactly* what they are supposed to do - reducing severity, reducing hospitalizations, and reducing complications.

Distance.

If you are using radio, the signal almost always travels *MUCH* farther than it would over fiber.

Radio is what, 50% faster light speed than fiber? Still loses if it has to travel 10 or 100 times farther.

That's not how 'division by zero' works. If you get a division by zero, then not only is the answer *unknown* (not wrong, or right, *unknown*), it also means the mathematical model you are using is not usable in that situation.

The *model* has a singularity at the center of the black hole. Because of that, it tells us nothing about what is actually at the center of a black hole.

Under pressure ammonia liquefies. The stored energy density of ammonia is *much* higher than hydrogen. It behaves more like propane than hydrogen.

Hydrogen is also the 'leakiest' gas, because of the extremely small size of the molecules.

Easier to administer means it can be given to many more people. 50% effective across 10,000 patients is better than 100% effective given to 1000 patients.

'Fighting words' is *extremely* narrow, this case wouldn't qualify:

"Natural immunity" is EXTREMELY suspect in this case. The vaccines are DESIGNED to target a part of the surface of the virus that is 'highly conserved'. The spike can't change much or it no longer works to allow entry into cells. So, we expect vaccine immunity to be robust.

Your body doesn't know anything about the structure of the virus. The antibodies you get from a natural infection could be sensitive to just about any part of the surface of the virus. MOST of the surface is NOT highly conserved, since it just has to act as a container for the virus. Random mutations can change the surface of the virus significantly without changing its function, but in doing so your immunity is now negated.

TL;DR - there is every reason to believe that vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity, and even if you KNOW you've had COVID, you should still get the vaccine.

It's really more that "A well regulated Militia" is put forth as an argument in support of the proposition "keep and bear arms".

You can get rid of it completely, and the overall meaning of the amendment doesn't change. It would just be missing the *reasoning why* this is true.

(Because) A well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State, (therefore) the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

It's also important to remember that *at the time it was written*, "well regulated" meant that something was functioning properly. A clock that kept accurate time would be described as "well regulated".

You missed the point. Of course the manufacturer produces the firmware. The unpleasant part is that the manufacturer is the one deciding to install it, and does so without your permission or assistance.

You could benefit by NOT DYING in a vehicle that was not maintained properly in order to save a few bucks.

You could benefit by not having a driver with invalid insurance destroying your car.
