Nope, Seph/Crono and Mario/Sonic are the only Noble Nine matches we've never had.
Mario/Sonic would obviously be a godstomp, but it's pretty sad that this hasn't happened. Easily the most iconic mascot rivalry in gaming.

Playing this after the mass effect 2 and 3 quests is pretty disappointing. Really wish some of them would at least add to the plot/characters/world building.

The pacing in this game is really weird.

So far the only real story beats are Mechon are attacking and then Shulk has a vision of a tower.

Thankfully I really like the battle mechanics and basically every aesthetic feature of the game.

Actually, I just looked up the numbers straight from the CDC website:
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

As of today, about 1 in 24000 Americans between 25 and 34 has died of covid.
Now do that age group without underlying conditions

Meanwhile, the Pfizer safety trial had around 40k people with no vaccine-linked deaths.
If you think a major trial for the most consequential disease since the bubonic plague will be administered with the same care as some CVS worker injecting 1000 people a day, I have some news for you.

Again, my point wasn't that you SHOULDN'T get the vaccine. It's that pretending like any (young and healthy) person who doesn't is a moron is just willfully ignoring basic statistics.

So, SPCE (Virgin Galactic) is doing a launch with a human on board on Friday, weather permitting. I have close to 25% of my portfolio in this so I am pretty nervous. SpaceX just did a test flight today and it went well until it exploded on landing.

You are mistaken. See Fig. 3:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v7.full.pdf

Perhaps you were basing this off of people appending an extra % to probabilities? I've seen a lot of people do that to falsely decrease death rates by a factor of 100.

This is the percentage of covid patients who die. There is a 1 in 350,000 chance that a healthy person under 30 will get covid and die from covid.* That is, at worst, the same likelihood that you'll die from a lightning strike or a dog bite. And I would again conclude that the odds you'll die from a weird injection site reaction from a vaccine are greater than the risk of death from covid overall. So, yes, getting a covid vaccination as a healthy person ~30 years of age could actually a bigger "risk" than getting covid itself.

Not that I would begrudge anyone for getting one since the risk is still extremely low, but to act like you'd have to be an idiot to not get inoculated is just factually incorrect.

*Per a British study, but there are others with similar data: https://medium.com/wintoncentre/what-have-been-the-fatal-risks-of-covid-particularly-to-children-and-younger-adults-a5cbf7060c49

Couldn't tell you about human side effects, but it doesn't look like many volunteers are experiencing anything permanent.
The AE rates are absolutely greater than the standard flu shot

if you have no underlying complications and are under 40, I could virtually guarantee that there is a greater chance you'll die from a side effect than from covid (though both are extraordinarily low)

Oh yes, obviously. Cured in the context I used it meant more to me preventing it from ever happening in the first place, which of course isn't the case here. I didn't know survival rates were already as high as 89% though!
Yeah man, that's why people in the oncology space are salty about all of the "wear pink" stuff in the NFL, etc. Breast cancer is generally not a terminal illness unless it not caught until stage 3/4.

100% disease-free survival at 8 years IS kind of bonkers the more I think about it though. That's prostate cancer-levels of eradication.

Don't oversell their achievements. This insanity happened for a good reason, but at absolute best they have cured recurrent breast cancer in patients who have already survived it. I say this because when I first heard "cured breast cancer" I was ready to buy that stock at pretty much whatever price.
Breast cancer is already curable. They raised survival rates from 89% with an outdated mode of therapy to 100%, which is great obviously, but not really an earth shattering achievement.

So C3.AI also had an IPO today. It had an IPO price of $42.... and just opened at $100. This IPO system really needs to be changed. So people who were able to buy from an investment bank through the IPO process doubled their money overnight...... what value did they add to deserve such profits? What risks did they take?
It's completely corrupt cronyism. Enraging because it makes it virtually impossible for regular investors.

I mean it doesn't seem unlikely that AVCT will eventually return to the $8-$10 range, but you just might have to hold for a year. The ultimately irony would be that these guys who wanted to kill themselves for not selling when they had the chance might actually bank more money in the long-run by getting the lower capital gains tax rate >_>

Also, market penetration for Door Dash in Canada is low. I use Skip the Dishes the most and use Uber Eats sometimes. I've used Door Dash twice and it was somehow more overpriced and doesn't have much selection. From a personal perspective it was no good 2/10 would not invest
DoorDash is almost nonexistent in NYC, which is the mecca for food delivery services. Seamless/Grubhub and UberEats to a lesser extent are the market leaders by a lot.
