The average life expectancy for men is only a year or two less than for women. Many couples die within a year of each other, mainly because the second to die misses their spouse. The reason male expectancy is less is that men, especially young men, are more likely to die by accident, by homicide, or by war. Married men live about as long as married women.

Was called the "New Coronavirus" for an awful long time prior to "Covid 19".

If an engineer builds a widget and it works, but he doesn't know why, that's not engineering, that's trial and error. Real engineers try to avoid trial and error. But, the experimentation used to understand a design that doesn't work, or reverse engineer a competitor's design that does work, is similar to science. Fast and cheap iteration cycles have led some to bypass doing the math and rigorous testing required of traditional engineering. But, even with fast and cheap iteration, an engineer should understand how it works. But, the general nonengineering pubic, can't tell the difference in something that "just works" because it's well engineered, or if it "just works" because someone got lucky.

Surely you didn't expect it to recommend stuff you hadn't indicated an interest in. You expressed an interest, quite intentionally in antivaxx stuff and you got it. Then you came here to tell us about it. No, I won't click on your link.

You must have gone to my public school. When my parents figured out how a little I did to get my A's, and how poorly I was being prepared for college, they pulled me out and sent me to a top prep school for the last two years. Those were a very hard two years, I started so far behind my classmates, I couldn't afford to not pay attention in class. I was still into extracurriculars at the prep school, in fact they were required, but my classes were worth going to and participating in. I never regretted changing schools. I also learned what it means to have public schools for the masses and private schools for the elites.

That's why we need a decentralized mesh of alternatively powered servers.

I thought it was a kind of morning.

How was this "previously-unknown heart arrhythmia" discovered? Healthy young people who drop dead are always autopsied unless they are already diagnosed with a terminally ill disease, and even then, they might be autopsied. For one thing, a healthy young man dropping dead for no reason looks a lot like homicide, so that must be ruled in or out.

sheesh, i remember when first post was something you had to strive for. Now, it just kinda happens. Maybe I just read the article faster than the next guy.

Is this the correct word for this?

Funded by taxing the crowd who keep their spare change in Zurich banks.

Lego should get with Monsanto and genetically engineer Lego plants that are immune to roundup, edible, too, that would be nice, perfect for kids who want to play with their food.

Too many web developers forget that not everyone has high speed service. This isn't a new problem. Back in the day, the computer whizzes would demo dashboards and such to the CEO that were quite impressive, but then, the mainframe was in the next room. Later, after the system was installed, down in the call center, the CSRs struggled with impatient customers while the computer poked along with putting characters on the screen. The customers themselves, had no computer connection, that's why they had to call the CSRs. But, the CEO was impressed with every little Blinky blip that slowed down the system because it didn't affect him, not when his impression was based on a single incidence running just a few feet from the mainframe. Or maybe the developers know that the CEO is the only one that must like it, that the CSRs and customers will muddle through.

I agree. Phones and Electricity made no sense as a private investment when the "last mile" was in places like West Virginia. Amtrak, too, only goes there because of government mandate. It's important to include with that mandate with enough money to pay for the cost.

Remember when we used to have categories? Real categories and not stuff like Medicine and Chemistry which are industries, not proper categories like we had in the old days.
