I agree. it isn't just unrealistic, but it is unscientific. The idea that you are going to hide or evade from COVID using your paper mask is ridiculous.

Only 36% of African Americans and 41% of Latinx Americans are vaccinated. It isn't just Republicans that are refusing. And yeah, it might be confusing to YOU because you hold politics as the most important thing in life. However some of us don't think politics are as important as is doing what is right.

And everyone here is suddenly upset about it. Suddenly slashdot is no longer Progressive. Odd.

Exactly! Look at Australia! They did ONE MONTH of that at the beginning and have been COVID free ever since with no lockdowns or masks or anything! Good tip, jd!

Who is "they"? Only 36% of African Americans are vaccinated. Only 41% of Latinos are vaccinated. Are those the "they" you are talking about? You really shouldn't refer to groups of people like that. It is really kinda offensive! Thanks!

Minerals are effectively infinite as we have more than we ever will need. What "minerals" are you concerned we are going to run out of? This is what happens when you guys play too much Warcraft.

He is "Dr. Bob" and "Dr." means Doctor so he is a Doctor. He might be a Chiropractor as well, but he definitely is a Doctor. His name is "Dr. Bob". You aren't even a Chiropractor! I think I will trust the experts, rather than some IT guy, thanks.

The 5G chip inside you constantly broadcasts the contents of your brain. Personally I think 2G should have been enough for you, but we buy 5G chips in bulk.

I agree. I don't use my brain either.

What is the obsession with Rust on slashdot? Virtually no one uses it or wants to. Is it the CoC that attracts you guys? Even golang is better and more used than Rust ever will be.

Well you know, that is where your food comes from. Are you suggesting we leave tornado alley unpopulated? It is about 25% of the entire country. Stick to IT kid. Don't worry about getting food for your fat mouth.

Yeah, because the 24 year old Millenial who wrote the article, Kellen Browning, is a corporate real estate magnate. The kid probably earns $35K a year and lives in a studio apartment in NJ.

It would be worth it as an investor. If that happens a new company will rise up and take their place. Just like TSMC is taking over from Intel. You guys should not be frightened of change. Change is always coming. Change is good.

LOL. Right Apple is a "stakeholder capitalist" company. Jesus Christ. They are environmentalists you know, and care about human rights too. I know it is true because I have seen their commercials. You have drunk the Kool Aid. Apple is a greedy Capitalist American company which is worth $1 trillion and exploits Third World environmental laws and labor for their benefit. Apple is the very definition of American style capitalism. Apple is horrific. And as for monetizing their trademark: you do know Apple sells Apple shirts and water bottles and masks in their fucking campus store, right? All made by cheap/slave labor overseas.

What is wrong with Bill and Ron? They are both fine people. I wish bill would run for governor. Great guy!
