I swear I'm not a weeb.

Excellent point.

IMO Human beings don't have the capacity to truly care for the entire population of this planet at the individual level. Speaking as an American, all the worlds horrors have been broadcast to us over the TV and viewed from the safety of our home throughout my lifetime, and probably (probably)...

I know your country has a private healthcare system that takes health insurance, I had to see a hand surgeon in Cambridge once and it wasnt an NHS hospital. I think with private healthcare you just get a better experience. Shorter wait times and better appointment availability are two pros that...

A good recent article from Reuters on the current situation and plans going forward. I just thought they had the military in the streets indefinitely and everyone locked in their homes like we saw in China.

I used to be one of those dudes that hates anything Apple. I changed my mind after I bought the 12" Ipad Pro, its just a quality product and I absolutely love it. I think I can see the appeal of apple outside of their products being social status symbols for people. If all I did was photography...

Heres some good reads to skim through. EDIT: Most of the stock I own is in Nvidia. I've been doing a little bit of research into the whole semiconductor industry and its all really interesting. The manufacturing process they use to manufacture the wafers is borderline magic.

These companies keep surprising themselves. They say they are reaching the physical limit of the materials they have been using, but we might soon measure our chips in picometers.

I mostly agree with both of your replies. Speaking to your last statement about the ICU bed availability, I can also attest to the number of ICU beds generally being limited even before the outbreak of COVID. Hospitals know how many ICU patients they may get year after year so they know they...

I've seen questions raised over the origins of the virus because it was so well adjusted to living in humans from the get go. I'm no virologist obviously, but there are a lot of things that raise questions people have yet to be able to answer with 100% confidence. We're over a year out from the...

I had intentions to reply to this, but I got distracted. Sorry it took so long lol. Its been a while, so all I really have to say is that I agree and its good insight into the perspective of Mr. Bobface.

Sell crypto, buy meme stocks. Apes strong together.

I posted this in April of last year, only a couple months after the coof really started hitting hard. Its an interesting look at the lab and its staff and what they were working on. Its stuff like this that gave me confidence in the "lab leak" theory. I know Mr. Bobface doesn't care for things...

This is pretty cool.

Same. Lost my 890 pulling a James Cameron into the abyss.

Zhangjiajie , a population of 1.48 million as of 2010, I can only assume its grown since then. And from the news article I read: "The city ordered residential communities sealed Sunday, preventing people from leaving their homes. In a subsequent order on Tuesday, officials said no one, whether...

I looked into it, if you get any card it looks like it will be the GTX 1600 series cards. Your 570 beats a 1550 Ti according to some article I ran across and the 1600 series is the one that starts to outperform yours. Its twice your budget, but thats what youre looking at if you want cheap but...

Think about it. If you haven't gotten the vaccine by now, your mind is probably made up. Some may just be waiting to get it later to see if there are any side effects were not seeing now, some may be waiting for it to get proper FDA approval or something of the sort. I know more than one person...

Another thing I wanted to add from my conversation with my uncle is that he said only something like 25% of the frontline workers in Miami are vaccinated, and the other 75%, mainly nurses / hospital staff, are not wanting to get the vaccine. I think he said only 50% of his department is...

My Paramedic Uncle in Miami recently told me its currently the worst its ever been for them as far as interdepartmental cases. He told me he knows 5 guys in the department right now that are hospitalized. Not sure if he meant his station or the whole city of Miami department. He told me its...
