    How kids’ COVID vaccines are holding up in the real world amid omicron surge

    You label me a contrarian just because I expected better protection from the vaccine than I got. Stew in your vile hatred, I am done with this place.

    How kids’ COVID vaccines are holding up in the real world amid omicron surge

    You are making a bunch of assumptions. Rooted in an intense desire that your opponent must be a bad person. As usual here.

    The great sleep divide

    Okay. I am reminded of when the city of Stockholm figured a few years ago that since more men than women drive cars, the snow plowing priority of car roads was thus sexist. So they attempted to equalize this by plowing the sidewalks and bicycle roads first when a blizzard came. It was total...

    How kids’ COVID vaccines are holding up in the real world amid omicron surge

    And how did I qualify at "rampant stupidity" when I took three shots and then got sick anyway?

    How kids’ COVID vaccines are holding up in the real world amid omicron surge

    I got three shots and then Omikron. Not too impressed.

    The great sleep divide

    If poor people have it worse, and more black people are poor, why do you pitch it in race terms? Is not "poor" the obvious problem? I mean, if you address the racial issue and the poverty is distributed in a manner where race is a statistically insignificant factor, are you SATISFIED then...

    Early humans kept getting their heads knocked in

    "Kill all the competitors! More cake for us!" is a fallacy that humans apparently have believed since the dawn of time. And still do, what with the xenophobic outbursts I see everywhere. The idea is that there are limited resources and the more of Them that come to Us the less will be had for...

    US and allies block tech exports to Russia in response to invasion of Ukraine

    I have this view of russian people that they are used to hunkering down and succumbing to oppressive leaders, fist clenched in pocket. Meaning that if Putin would cease to exist, I don't quite think they would scramble to lit the world on fire in some gesture of pride. I do not believe that...

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine will have myriad impacts on spaceflight

    Why do russian trolls even try? One side is an aggressor led by a murderous megalomaniac stalin-era KGB psychopath despot. The other is a nation that broke free from the former and wants to be part of democratic Europe, led by an elected leader of the people, struggling and doing admirably...

    Driver that promised faster Ethereum mining for Nvidia GPUs is full of viruses

    I don't know which is worse: that our money is entirely in the hands of immortal banks, or the douchebag crypto goblins.

    US and allies block tech exports to Russia in response to invasion of Ukraine

    I see three outcomes: 1 - Russia wins. This will establish an era of very terrible positions in all aspects, for all nations, as the whole world will regard Russia as a constant and very acute danger. Cold War 2.0, New And Improved. The only winners will be weapons manufacturers. 2 - Ukraine...

    Linux on Steam Deck: What you need to know, what currently works

    All Lunix endeavours require immediate faction splitting. So: KDE? Booo hiss, should have been Gnome!

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine will have myriad impacts on spaceflight

    Their biggest problem will be where to land when the globe is burning in nuclear hellfire.

    DOJ: White supremacists hoped to ignite “race war” by attacking power grids

    Dang. If I had a dollar for each time I have figured out something profound, only to discover that some inventor, scientist, philosopher or researcher has done extensive works on the very thing a hundred years ago, I would have several dollars by now. My exwife was a grievance junkie. Our...

    DOJ: White supremacists hoped to ignite “race war” by attacking power grids

    That became a lot of babbling, but it was ignited by some earlier remarks about these terrorist clowns and their position in society.

    DOJ: White supremacists hoped to ignite “race war” by attacking power grids

    Here is a hypothesis about inceldom: men are supposed to die. More nuanced: I suspect that a lot of males are equipped with genes that make them predisposed to crazy shit. That either further the cause of the tribe or make them die in the attempts. All the IQ tests usually show a much larger...

    DOJ: White supremacists hoped to ignite “race war” by attacking power grids

    It is my observation that some people just like to destroy and cause damage. They adopt some ideology that provides them with an excuse as to why they are actually doing the right thing, but it is a post-construct. The primary thing is to wreak havoc, the doctrine is just a rationalization...

    Missouri governor’s wild claims about journalist debunked in police report

    Aren't any of you upset that all it takes to defraud a person is to know their SSN? That is all kinds of fucked up. In Sweden we have personal numbers. They are unique and composed of the date you were born, plus four suffixed numbers that tell in what municipality and your gender, with a bit...

    Is Firefox OK?

    Been a Firefox fan since inception, but the last 1-2 years I have mainly used Brave for two reasons: 1 - I get the privacy things from the get-go rather than having to configure and install add-ons and whatnot. 2 - Firefox does not fix large-resolution displays that well in Linux. On a 4K TV...

    IBM exec called older workers “dinobabies” who should go “extinct,” lawsuit says

    "They really don't understand social or engagement. Not digital natives." I take this as "They do not understand the ephemeral nature of contemporary society where the object is to hype attention and cash out! They still believe that there is value in devices and systems!"
