millions of people died because of this virus. knowing the truth is very important

Why? What do you expect to happen? Let's say we find out it did originate in the lab in Wuhan, then what?

Except there is and will only be one original of a particular painting. Even if an artist made more copies, it doesn't change the original being the original. Scarcity is where it gets its value. The value of the actual image isn't important outside of its pop culture relevance. The best you can do for an original video is obtain the medium on which it was recorded, but it's still not the same as a unique physical item. NFTs seem to be the equivalent of a signed last-print CD that someone is massively overvaluing as the original work just because they decided to make a market out of it.

You are almost there. It's not scarcity, there is no such thing as scarcity when it comes to an original, there is one and only ever one. The desire is in the ownership of the original. Whether you think it will last or not, NFT's are the agreement among commodity traders that it represent the original of a thing that doesn't have physical form. Think something like what they do with autograph certification, there is no way to say that autograph really is what someone says it is, so the market relies on a group certifying that it is. An NFT is a certification that you own the original of a digital media.

It's an attempt to create scarcity, in a medium that resists that.

The end result is going to be people wasting a fuckton of money just to create a new Streisand Effect every half-second or so.

There isn't anything scarce about the image of 'Starry Night' and yet the original is possibly the most valuable piece of art in existence. NFT's aren't about scarcity or control, they are about ownership of an commodity that they believe will be more desirable (e.g valuable) in the future. The only difference between this and standard crypto is each block has a value unto itself instead of as the whole.

My cousin who's a huge conservative Christian is sending prayers for Israel being under attack. I think she's just really ignorant, and heard about violence in the region, and just immediately sided with them because of biblical connections.

A lot of Christian faiths have an underlying idea that a Jewish return to the Holy Land is necessary for the Second Coming. This is why a lot of Conservatives back the Jewish state even though it would often fall outside of what they stand for.

You need to clarify this. Even after the second shot it doesn't mean you should be out there like the pandemic is over.

He isn't wrong, but he also doesn't understand at all why that is true. A bachelors degree does nothing to prove intelligence, it is more an indicator of commitment than anything else. Corporate jobs want someone reliable which is why they generally favor people with degrees.

And this doesn't even have to be a huge issue, just from my perspective as a learner... sometimes i do things in really roundabout ways, and that shows in my programming attempts

This is what code check or code pairing are for. On a technical side there are generally a handful of "right" ways to do something. On the use case side you should never have programmers deciding that anyway; user research and real world analytics should drive that.

Your only recourse would be if the reduction somehow amounted to negligence, but given that it is pain management it is doubtful that you have any case.

All you can do is try to find another doctor, but more than likely they would not up your dosage as you will likely be viewed exhibiting drug seeking behavior.

Bumping your own ignorance on evolution isn't a good look.

Well, the evidence so far suggests that the vaccine will reduce this as well.

Not exactly, or at least not in any studies I have seen. In small group testing they have seen a reduction in viral load (viral load is generally used as a measure of infectiousness for a person), but it is not clear what the thresholds are for Covid where you would label one non-infectious/infectious/highly infectious.

So there is promising information that it may help, but there are still studies going on to determine if the reduction is in fact meaningful.

Explain how fully vaccinated people can gather with each other is crazy pills

I can take a crack at that.
It's because it belies the fact of how vaccinations work. Vaccinations do not prevent you from contracting (and then more importantly, transmitting) Covid. By gathering people together without precautions you are just creating more vectors for transmissions. Sure those people are likely safe (even some of the vaccinated will still get a bad case of Covid, don't remember the percent off-hand but it is tiny), but what about all the people after that event that they might interact with that may not be fully vaccinated.

People treating vaccination of themselves as the end of the crisis are just making things worse for everyone else until we are able to completely vaccinate the community.

People are already doing that. This isnt going to change anything.

i swear some of you want us to be wearing masks for the next decade

You literally answer your own question as to why we can't move forward and it has nothing to do with the people actually wearing masks.

Terrible advice from the CDC. People are dumb and all they will see is I don't need to wear a mask anymore and continuing bitching about it every where they go.

I used to return my carts, all my life. But then someone posted these videos and now I flip them over on their side in order to block as much traffic as possible in the way I'm not pulling out (it helps me not get hit by over aggressive drivers trying to get my spot).

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

Let's see if these so-called "originalists" go and make up things that aren't there to bolster the 2nd amendment even further beyond what is written or not.

You are going to see a variety of numbers based on need and situation, but in general you want to hit 20% to avoid paying PMI.

I always say thanks to the retail worker, it comes out without me even thinking about it.

This, but I was raised in the South. Residing in the Northeast now, it certainly does not seem the standard. I pretty much couldn't imagine an interaction with a cashier that doesn't end with me making eye contact and saying thank you.

When the individual is creating an imminent threat to the safety of others and cannot be stopped by any other means.

Didn't read, is he just upset that they won't let him grope the Princesses anymore? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it.

Like I'm sorry that change is hard for people, but smart people learned to do it the way on the right without being taught. It is a more difficult concept to get to begin with, but ultimately is faster and allows you to do much more complex calculations in your head.

They are actually accusing the jury of juror misconduct. Every day when court begins the judge will ask if any of the jurors have heard anything about the case outside of the courtroom. If they say yes, they will be dismissed and an alternate will replace them. Lying to the judge about this is a criminal offense.

Doesn't seem clear to me. It's literally just "well Elon says that wasn't it, so we should believe him" lol

Not quite, by the published documentation of how the feature is supposed to work the original statements of the incident are not possible. Which at the very least means the police were talking out of their ass as they would not be able to know any thing like that without an investigation to prove something wasn't working correctly.

Sword of Damocles really says there are only two viable options left. First, user error, either willfully evading the rules for use of auto-pilot or maybe even patching unsupported firmware to misuse the feature.
Second and even more likely, the facts of the incident have been reported incorrectly so far. Perhaps the driver was behind the wheel and then trying to escape through the passenger side.
In a distant third you can still hold out hope for system error if you want, but if so then Elon is talking out of his ass and hasn't checked into at all, which would be incredibly irresponsible as a CEO, so only kind of par for the course with Elon.

For what it's worth, it doesn't really matter what the trial is about, public officials should not comment about an ongoing trial for the risk of muddling a current or future jury pool. Even freaking Nixon didn't comment on the Manson family trial for that reason. The last thing you'd want would be to give the defense an avenue for an appeal or mistrial.

I don't remotely buy the argument that she was inciting violence, though.

I'm going to disagree, we live in a 24 hour media circus compounded by an ever present social media, by what bar could you possibly say that Maxine Waters words hold some extra powerful sway in the sea of opinion pieces. You could maybe make a case for the President using a national address would violate a fair trial, but I can't honestly say any one or situation lower than that is capable of doing meaningful damage.

How do you people look at Holland and not see he nails it? Spiderman is a nerd but not a complete lame. He is witty and says funny shit. Hes not a complete social outcast. Holland nails all of this perfectly.

I started reading Spider-Man in the 1980's before eventually reading treasuries and such to get from the 60's forward. Holland does not in any way "nail it" in relation to any point in the 616 continuity of Peter Parker.

C, but I don't really think he was more than passable. I don't think we will get a live action Peter that really nails it in my lifetime. A good chunk of that being because fitting it into a pop culture franchise they will never let Peter be Peter and want to fit him into some ideal mold or another.

That's not really how inventions work. No one just invents something as complicated as a TV, it is a series of smaller innovations and inventions that ultimately get it there.

I love AIC, don't really listen to the others, but I like more PJ and Soundgarden songs than Nirvana. Actually I don't think I like a single Nirvana song, but I don't know every deep cut

If you don't like Breed or Drain You then I would just say that Cobain isn't for you.

I know lol. But was soundgarden as big as the others?

Uh, AiC is by far the smallest, even STP sold more.

Bootstrapping isn't a paradox, it's just dependent on a specific view of how the universe would react to time travel.

I like dipping them in hummus.

Maybe they should have ordered some bootstraps.

September on the farm sounds about a million times better than in the middle of June.

So, I think Vaccine Passports are dumb and represent a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be vaccinated. Any business using that in place of sensible guidelines for safety will hopefully go under quickly.

But, last I checked vaccination status is not a protected class which means businesses are free to tack that up there with their no shirt, no shoes, no vaccines, no service. If DeSantis wants to try and push that through as a protected class in the state of Florida, then more power to him.

Yeah I watched a movie while running it. It isn't very rewarding though. I just want this card to drop so I can put this dungeon behind me. Done 9 or 10 runs so far (I know that's nothing, but that's still like 10 hours) and I feels like it's for nothing.

I've got some bad news for you about the endgame tomestone grind.

While I have heard a few of them I do feel that this is the time to say that there are pay to publish medical journals. So just being in a medical journal doesn't say much without knowing what journal it was in.

YIKES, like I'm sure she is probably of age, but she looks like she's 15.
