Topic | Does it strike any of you as odd that |
Trumble 12/06/21 12:43:54 PM #36 | ^ Take care as at least some fact-checking sites are known to be biased themselves. Not generally to the point where they'll outright lie, but often, they'll be more inclined to go for a "plausible" than "true" on a fact that's not convenient to them for example, or they'll skip the fact check altogether on matters where the answer isn't favorable (and just not report on that one), etc. As usual, the best way to deal with this is to not exclusively rely on a single source in the first place. --- Must be between 5 and 80 characters, cannot contain special characters or Trumbles or be in ALL CAPS. |

Trumble 12/06/21 12:38:25 PM #33 | goldenBoi45 posted... People living in the same country, sometimes even the same state and county, can have radically different views from one another on virtually every topic? People can still have different personalities, be raised with different values, live through different individual experiences, etc. It's fully expected. With that being said, without a doubt there are active efforts to blow these differences in values out of proportion and turn people against each other based on them. With that being said, there are some people out there who really do cross the line into asshole territory and should be excluded. And yes, such people absolutely exist on both sides (though I'd certianly note one side has a lot more of them). --- Must be between 5 and 80 characters, cannot contain special characters or Trumbles or be in ALL CAPS. |

Topic | Data from the omicron variant suggests it's more infectious, but less deadly |
Trumble 12/06/21 12:24:03 PM #17 | Information on the severity of Omicron is very mixed at this stage. It's also worth remembering that serious illnesses and deaths tend to lag behind cases by a few weeks - and we've only been aware of Omicron for a few weeks so far. And in particular, there are worrying signs that it's much worse for young children than past variants have been. However, even with the limited information available so far, it's very evident that Omicron puts all past variants, even Delta, to shame with regards to how fast it spreads. --- Must be between 5 and 80 characters, cannot contain special characters or Trumbles or be in ALL CAPS. |

Trumble 12/04/21 6:37:34 PM #3 | Because it's still the same virus, just a different strain of it.

This can be repaired but the repair is usually only a temporary fix. Did it with one of mine; it came right for a while but died again about 3 months later (at which point I just replaced it with a superslim).

Topic | I don't know why I thought I may have C-19 because of lack of taste/smell. |
Trumble 12/04/21 1:07:33 PM #13 | QwelzaarKane posted... Aren't colds caused by different types of coronaviruses? Yes, it's not the same virus (although a study now suggests Omicron variant may have picked up genes from a common cold virus), but they are quite closely related - which would suggest cold symptoms, if either, are more likely to be covid. EDIT: Further to this, it also comes to mind that HCoV-OC43 - a coronavirus that causes some of the nastier colds these days (still just colds, though) - is suspected of being the causative agent behind the 1890 pandemic, which it's recently been noted that reports from during said pandemic describe symptoms and mortality patterns very similar to those of covid, and less like the flu. Though most of all - the loss of taste/smell itself is one of the most signature, "almost certianly this and nothing else", covid symptoms, and indeed can for some people be the only symptom. --- Must be between 5 and 80 characters, cannot contain special characters or Trumbles or be in ALL CAPS. |

Topic | Omicron variant may have picked up genes from a common-cold coronavirus. |
Trumble 12/04/21 1:04:56 PM #4 | _BlueMonk posted... well, this is good then. you get it and you wont die. Trumble posted... Scientists do not yet know whether Omicron is more infectious than other variants, whether it causes more severe disease or whether it will overtake Delta as the most prevalent variant. It may take several weeks to get answers to these questions.Trumble posted... This could mean the virus transmits more easily, while only causing mild or asymptomatic disease. Here's hoping it turns out more mild, that would definitely be a good thing, but we certianly should not be jumping to conclusions yet. The virus has much more pressure to select for contagiousness and immune evasion than it does to select for low severity (though it would be false to say there's no pressure to select for that either). To be clear, that's not to say we should assume the worst either - just that we should acknowledge that it isn't known for sure yet, either way. --- Must be between 5 and 80 characters, cannot contain special characters or Trumbles or be in ALL CAPS. |
Topic | Omicron variant may have picked up genes from a common-cold coronavirus. |
Trumble 12/04/21 1:01:54 PM #1 | The Omicron variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 likely acquired at least one of its mutations by picking up a snippet of genetic material from another virus - possibly one that causes the common cold - present in the same infected cells, according to researchers.

Trumble 12/04/21 12:35:15 PM #18 | I wouldn't play Witcher 3 specifically for the combat. It's certianly not bad, don't get me wrong, it's just not really anything special either. Witcher 3's strength is in exploration and story. If you're only interested in combat, yeah, give it a miss unless you really need something to play. If you're interested in the series (or just open-world exploration in general) and just wanted to know the combat wouldn't put you off, then I'd definitely recommend the game. --- Must be between 5 and 80 characters, cannot contain special characters or Trumbles or be in ALL CAPS. |
