COVID has too many features of something you cant get rid of:

1) fast immunity attenuation, people can get reinfected within months of exposure

2) Large number of asymptomatic patiens, so easy avoids detection.

3) It is airborne, as in, can transmit on droplets.

4) It is fairly contagious

You cant have those features and expect to eliminate it.

Havent stuck Eddy's Balls down my throat just yet :)

Thank you.

I think for my birthday im gonna do some edibles..... here we go.....

@RickiTarr On that we agree, if people try to control you through boundaries, that may be a red flag.

Its important however to know the difference between control and concern over self destructive behavior. It can be a fine line, and one that some people cross out of caring for another (even if it is inappropriate)

@RickiTarr

So I cant tell someone "You cant stab me with that knife", that would be wrong. But I can tell someone "If you stab me with that knife I wont be your friend anymore"?

Im not sure I disagree, but im also not sure if this is saying anything all that useful. Maybe it is, but I do agree.

@georgetakei

Is anyone surprised?

And for soem background the same team of medical and chemistry scientist had tried for 3 years and failed. I was called in and hired as a specialist and solved the same problem they couldnt in only 3 months.

I have proven myself, and that has been well published and proven by this point.

You are a waste of time, and every reply you prove that more.

@DavidM_yeg

I never said I was a medical expert, I said I was a scientist... maybe you should look at my published papers instead, or even my resume.

I just finished inventing a decide capable of detecting covid on ones breath within a few minutes at little to no cost after leading a team of medical (clinical) and chemistry teams at a large lab in Israel.

Maybe you should ask, learn and research rather than accuse, it will go much further.

Carol Kane is in Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New worlds.

Weird choice for a Star Trek character, but I kinda love it, like a lot... I'm just like "Isnt that the chick that played along side Andy Kaufman"!

Loving this. They even wrote in her weird way of speaking to the plot that was great (wont leak that)

They also had a trans character in season 1 that was done quite well without making it "a thing", felt more natural and the way I'd like to see more LGBT characters handled, like just a character and not a big scene about it. I feel it makes it feel more common place and natural and sends a better message.

Anyway I have found their character choices to be a wonderful combination of progressive but still natural and well written.

Two people I'd never vote for... Biden the senile racist, or Trump the moron from birth.

I just hope I will have an alternative this election. Havent seen many good alternatives yet either.

> if you tried to get away from the binary divisions of Republicans and Democrats, your politics would become much more mature and stable.

I aassume you mean the USA, and on that I agree, having two dominate parties and framing everything against those two is a big issue with american politics.

> Scandinavia is quite clearly a capitalist economy, but quite clearly operates a more socialist welfare program. They are neither socialist not capitalist. Time for some nuance

Socialism and social-welfare are very very different things. You can have high social welfare with absolutely no elements of socialism.

The best technical definitions I've found is something like this:

social-welfare: We help provide support for those who are most vulnerable and need it, perhaps conditionally

socialism: The means of production is publicly owned

Communism: The means of production **and** distribution is public owned.

@realcaseyrollins I think this legitimately plays a factor... in short its probably easier for a woman to find someone who will financially support them than a man would.

I think this goes beyond just marriage and that sort of arrangement. Even in the case of sugar-daddys or onlyFans I think women have a distinct advantage for low-skill high-paid arrangements.

@DaveFernig Yup, agreed... but in the case of veterans the problem started from before they ever made it to homeless status. The military often is what made them that way.

@DaveFernig I dont have any more sympathy for a veteran than I do any other homeless person. Suffering is suffering to me and equally worth addressing.

But there is somthing to be said for the government abusing these people and throwing them aside. As a citizen we are somewhat responsible for our government and that makes us more individually liable in a sense for voting people in that would treat people that way.

@DaveFernig Both fair points, esp. the veteran one.
