I dont even know why this is funny, but lllloooolll

@ccc That doesnt explain why there would need to be a register that includes personally identifying information.. knowing "bob smith was vaccinated" isnt useful for what you describe but knowing "10% of health care workers are vaccinated" might be.

to track the sort of logistical information your talking about it could be done without the violation of personal privacy by instead simply tradcking the data one cares about (age, location, profession) of those vaccinated without needing to record their name or identifying information.

@nd@x0r.be The vaccination card (as a means to remember what vaccines you got) isnt really the issue. a national database of who was vaccinated is far more concerning.

@mewmew No a population where a persons medical history isnt private.. a population where a vaccine can skip long term safety studies, require emergency authorization, be held immune to any liability so you cant sue if you get killed AND be forced to take it and need to carry around a vaccination card to prove it.

If you cant see the problem in that combination then there is no hope for you.

Vaccine cards... national registry of everyone vaccinated... get the fuck out of here are you serious, this is where this shit is headed:

I fucking knew it when they created the databases to track controlled substance prescriptions and violated our right to medical privacy this is where this shit was headed... yea I'm pissed.

@realcaseyrollins

I'm still trying to figure out what specific crayons in the box of colors your skin needs to resemble to even qualify as black or white... or is it genetic? What percentages do you need again?

My family tree has people of all sorts of races in it, as do most people. Usually when I hear people dividing individuals into classes of "white" or "black" I know they already probably dont have a clue more often than not. they just categorize people based on whatever their prejudices tell them fits in the moment.

We have a chinese reading mod we added specifically to address your concerns at the time. It was determined the chinese posts were not hate speech, and was not illegal. Despite our conclusion you insisted anyway.

Always happy to help. should be easy enough to find numbers in terms of gravity, water level, local air pressure, its all well documents. Not much working going from that to actually calculating the effect on ones weight.

@Science

@hansw@mastodon.social

Storms indeed do effect the local pressure and would have an effect. tides are driven by the moon and sun mostly and are a gravitation thing, which is why the tides wont usually have a huge effect.

Of course if a storm happens to be causing a tidal surge that isnt related to the moon or sun itself, the surge being entirely from a storm, then yea I suppose that would have an effect.

@Science

@hansw@mastodon.social

Even dramatic differences in tide wont effect your weight because the sea level pressure doesnt change when your local tide goes out or in. So tides, in and of themself, will not have a notable effect, it would be exactly the same.

There are however two local effects that will play a role, but both of which will be fairly minimal..

1) the moon being overhead vs underfoot (which effects the tide). This will increase or decrease gravity. But two things about this. first off, the relative change in weight from atmospheric to vacuum would, relatively, be the same. That is any increase you'd see would be proportional in both settings, as would and decrease. Two the effect is too minimal to really count. The moons gravity is approximately one one millionth that of earth's on the surface of earth. So any effect would be trivial.

2) changes in local air pressure. This one is probably the only one that could have a noticeable effect. It is also the only one that would effect the relative difference between atmospheric weight and vacuum weight.

@Science

@hansw@mastodon.social

The difference in their weight you mean? Or the difference in the height of tides to get an accurate mean?

The tide means are actually from measures data yes (and water heights are closely monitored around the world).

As for the 0.2 lbs difference in weight, no that isnt really done when tides differ because while it would have an effect on the results that effect would be extremely marginal. In fact the number is not deduced experimentally but rather mathematically. It is the result of the buoyancy of the atmosphere and not due to the moon itself. Therefore it can be calculated based on the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

@Science

@hansw@mastodon.social

Indeed there is, it is the point where the atmospheric drag is at equilibrium with the gravitational force. It is called terminal velocity and the specific limit varies based on altitude. So under certain conditions you actually slow down as you fall rather than accelerate presuming you fall from a great enough height.

@Science

@hansw@mastodon.social

Strictly speaking sea level is not the local height of the ocean :) It is the mean sea level averaged over time. so it is not dependent on tides :)

@Wetrix You cant see the image I attached?

@Easydor

I can dig it, though unliek the other razors it may be a bit more open to interpritation as to what a serious source is. for example I discount all media in the USA as discredited sources (both left and right leaning).. The ones that are serious are far and few between and focus on first-source information like c-span... many would disagree with me.

That said if someone quotes CNN, washington Post, Fox news, MSNBC, whatever as their source in my eyes it would discredit them as compared with quoting C-span or scientific journals.

@Science

@anonymoose

Yea, same

@arteteco

@cos yes i will be sure to look into it next time I do upgrades (whcih will be shortly after new years).. Last time i checked they hadnt upgraded their docker containers to the new version yet, hopefully they upgraded.
