Daemon Spawn at that.

Slightly off topic, but people don't hire on merit. The merit claim is cockypot. Merit gets your foot in the interview door, but social factors are what decides after that. I've been on hiring committees. One of the questions posed to the committee was, "Which candidate would you feel most comfortable working with for 40+ hours a week?" Let that question sink in.

Of course the candidate with a similar socioeconomic profile as your own would be preferred: somebody who likes the same food, watches the same movies and sports, worships the same deity, etc. It's not direct discrimination, but has discrimination as an end result.

Prove the study is flawed or STFU. Gut guesses are a dime a dozen.

(Then again, maybe there is a significant /. overlap these days, lol.)

... "tools found to have been used to do stuff."

The people using the tools should indeed be held accountable.

"I'm writing a book on Jeffrey Dahmer...

I heard about that. I wonder what the long term effects of that will be on those 70+ year olds. Just look at all the risks listed here:

Interestingly, doctors tend to avoid blood transfusions even in the case of heavy bleeding. Instead, they immediately use intravenous fluids to rapidly "fill the pipes" and restore blood pressure and organ perfusion.

A novel idea, but Mr Stoker did have some folk legends to borrow from. Personally, I have no stake in that matter, no fascination with holy water or crucifixes and certainly don't believe in silver bullets. Sunshine, however, is a powerful disinfectant and garlic makes bread tasty! (So, are there no Italian vampires?). It's interesting the actual name of Jesus is never used by the characters in Bram Stoker's Dracula -- his name is the singular artifact of power in the new testament.
