  • My mom has lymphoma. She gets extremely sick from even minor colds. I am very worried about losing her to an infection, and the thought that it could be a vaccine-preventable infection fills me with rage

  • It's only if you want to find it that it's hard to find. You have to pretend you don't care either way.

  • 'Could have' is due to the range of potential estimates. The confidence interval was between 6420–20294 deaths.

  • The study does quantify the cardiac risk from HCQ. Those causes of death are included in the all-causes mortality rate previously determined by a separate meta analysis

  • The hazards here were related to passing around doses, improper prescriptions from disreputable doctors, and not seeking out actual treatments for covid. If you have certain conditions and medications there can be side effects and interactions that harm health, but that your doctor should have considered. Some people who really needed hydroxychloroquine for legitimate uses like yours had trouble getting it because of shortages due to morons rushing out to get it.

  • Just saw them live and it was an incredible concert. Highly recommended if you can attend their present tour

  • Many people seem to be unable or unwilling to confront the cognitive dissonance of there not being a good guy to root for. They have to deny some war crimes to make things simple for themselves, so it's a simple case of good vs evil

  • As a lover of pale ales and browns, has been a tough few years. I used to love IPAs but the flavor is mostly played out and predictable for me at this point

  • Which is ironic considering that fossil fuels have resulted in orders of magnitude more preventable deaths than nuclear. Bunker fuel is nasty stuff

  • I found it faster and safer to use to fire up Pocket Casts or Libby and to read texts on the go. So I use it every day and will be disappointed to see it go.

  • Always good to have a backup in emergencies, but yeah I wouldn't use it as my primary

  • If you have a significant other, they will discover said instances after about 5 minutes using the pihole and you'll hear about it. I think it's a kind of law of home networking.

  • For me the Galaxy Nexus was the peak of enthusiast phone joy. Notification LED was bright and colorful, replaceable battery (to be fair, this was necessary because battery life was so short), unlocked by default, slightly curved front glass made it a pleasure to use as a phone. I also liked the ceramic back of the Essential Phone. The back fingerprint sensors on most phone models were so much more practical than the in-screen options and provided a handy way to lower the notification tray. I miss the litltle touch navigation nubbin on my Droid Incredible, which was handy for scrolling around without touching the screen.

    I also miss how open Android was; Google has been gradually cracking down on enthusiast use cases in the name of "security" like text backup no longer being possible for Play Store apps, email access locked down (requiring a security audit for apps to access GMail), scoped storage screwed up a lot of use cases as well.

  • TLDR:

    Feel free to mute me, so you never see anything I say ever again...

    Don't mind if I do!

  • They don't want children to be educated about sexual activity because that usually is correlated with effective family planning, which means fewer children, which means women having more time for personal empowerment rather than simply being vessels for childbirth, which again means fewer children. Fewer children means fewer minds to convert to the religion that motivates the whole exercise. Many 'successful' religions aggressively propagate themselves, even if it's at the expense of the well-being of the believers themselves.

  • HB is a real American History X kind of town. There are good parts there like the Bolsa Chica wetlands, but there is a real beach nazi contingent there as well
