The Hogan twins are extraordinary conjoined twins. They have clear seperate consciousness yet at the same time can hear each others thoughts, see through each others eyes, and know what the other person feels physically (like where they are being touched).

It is truely amazing from the perspective of understanding identity, consciousness, and the brain more generally.

@knittingknots2 The first one would have been a crap shoot, you may have gotten super sick, could be more mild. After your first infection though its about as effective as a vaccine, and will ware off at a similar rate.

@georgetakei

As always thanks for sharing, and I appreciate you.

We should share the truth, not propaganda to help convince people of what we want to convince people.

Im all for sharing these polls, but not to the exclusion of polls that contradict this. We should share the truth, for the sake of truth, not propaganda.

@pieist Biden, is that you?

@knittingknots2

Yea getting vaccinated is a smart move if you dont have any medical issues with getting one.

I've been vaxed, had it 7 confirmed times so far, all post-vax.

@knittingknots2 No one liked it when they get a virus, and I hope you were ok

@knittingknots2

Just to be clear this should be expected and not a cause for alarm. COVID tends to naturally spike during winter months.

Yea most of the advances in safety arent really specific to teaching. But back in 1975 safety was just abysmal for everyone. Teachers were often exposed to asbestos (very common in school buildings) and other hazards, just as everyone was in various settings.

My point is, just keep in mind a 1975 lifestyle and wage is only possible when you cut safety **everywhere**. Once you start wanting a society that is much safer, cleaner, and more inclusive the cost for that is more expensive stuff, like butter.

Also keep in mind butter itself is manufacturing/farming and when you want to do it safely even just the cost to make the butter will be more, naturally.

Im glad to see they seperated out "low carbon" and "renewable".. most people shit a brick when I remind them that coal is considered renewable.

@Gina Did everything wind up working out for you with the car?

@stevesilberman

Remind me again when was the last time a democrat proposed an amendment to protect women's healthcare and their right to an abortion? As far as I know (and some quick googling) they have not even proposed one, at least not that I can find.

That would have been the correct solution, Row v Wade was never the place to decide that, law is.

Both sides like to talk but the right actually caries out their messed up stance, the left just alks and talks but refuses to solve problems because if they provided real solutions they wouldnt have a way to use fear to get themselves elected anymore.

@kmic with attitude like that your on the rivht instance at least. Sadly it might get you in trouble with most people these days despkte being words of wisdom.

@VoxDei

Except that teachers made less than manufacuring jobs in 1975 ($4.01 per hour based on a 12.5K salary). AND just living in 1975 at all makes you far more likely to die of almost anything. So even teachers would likely have a much higher death rate than modern teachers.

im kinda curious to get a pcmcia network card just to see how my 1999 PDA handles the modern internet.... It has a total of 16 MB of memory and is running Windows CE, lol.

@admin

Their asking someone who is **attacking** a minority why.. yea im ok with that.

@skobkin @realcaseyrollins

I'd also argue that prioviding water should be a duty of governments not private companies... A priovate company should be welcome to price gouge on water because they are providing water where there is a market, which implies filling a gap that the government should have already supplied. It is unethical the government didnt provide the water, not for the company charging for it.

@geekysteven @midway

@realcaseyrollins

Price gouging is illegal by anti-trust laws. You can not manipulate the supply and demand by controlling a vertical/horizontal segment of the industry.

For example if companies intentionally coordinated to increase prices artificially by all agreeing not to compete this would be illegal on any scale, even between just two companies.

Hey, COVID=19 research scientist here. I am very sorry to hear about your your grandson.

> Diagnosis: A heart defect. No sign of one when he was a kid. Strange.

Actually this is quite common. Many types of heart defects arent present or arent seen as a child but will as an adult. For example I have a type of defect that leads to a minor condition called PVC. While it is noticeable and diagnosable now doctors werent able to detect it till I was 30.

> Problem: the number of young people in this situation is not trivial and either they are covering up COVID issues or they aren't doing their research.

No one is covering up anything, though research is new and its possible we have a lot left to learn, that takes time, its not negligence. But your also making assumptions, you cant just assume every unusual event like a heart attack is COVID, it makes no sense, these sorts of things happened before COVID too.
