    Huh? It is right there in the abstract: So, typically wearing a mask reduced your odds of infection by 10%; best case scenario, wearing a mask reduced infection rates by 30%. Worst case was no difference. Also, the abstract said: Digging into the article: I'm not really posting this for...

    CIG taking questions for Railen QnA

    re: turret gunners, I've been talking about this with some people, CIG has to essentially give "bonuses" for multiplayer/turret gameplay, otherwise yeah, nobody will ever multi-crew. Recommendations are things like, make all turrets powerful...like, quad Size 2's on smaller ship's and quad Size...

    E3 2021

    Not announced at E3, but probably the game I'm currently most interested in (besides SC): View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxMZyVn0y3k

    Overland Navagation

    Often (not always) there are low lying hills near the station that you can hide behind. However, when the weather is shit, it can be hard to find them...I'll land a distance away, get out, and as I'm going to the outpost, I'll note if there are any big depressions...if I didn't get far I'll then...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    It isn't like very bright people haven't been thinking about this, and trying to do something about it ("it" being how to gather evidence about medical interventions so that one can reliably say that a treatment works or doesn't work). Since this is a human endeavor, there is no perfect...

    E3 2021

    FYI, and I hate being a downer, but the Bungie of today is not the Bungie of yesteryear. Like a lot of other companies, the people who originated the series and put out the quality titles of yesteryear have pretty much all left...sometimes, change is good, but increasingly it seems people have...

    Starfield release date reveal

    We finally have a release date: 11/11/22 ...weird, that is 11 years (to the day) that Skyrim was released. LOL, after that, I vowed I would never buy another Bethesda release on day 1. Other than that, and a pretty video we don't know much about this. If I was CIG, I wouldn't rush out SQ42...

    Railen cargo hauler!

    yup, somebody on reddit linked back to this photo...remember when they asked us which type of ship we wanted in 2019? It seems like CIG has been planning this for a while...which one of the 3 options do you think the Argo refining ship will be? View: https://i.imgur.com/lJIAkjb.png

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    What you are talking about is generally called "scientific study generalizability" and it is a part of what is termed "validity" of scientific study. It is something that should be considered by researchers, and definitely should be considered by peer reviewers, as well as consumers of research...

    Define "know". You seem to have a very narrow/skeptical definition for "know."

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    What's that old saying? "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" ? Obviously, having military NBC (Nuclear-Biological-Chemical) level precautions would be "state of the science" but COVID isn't like a nerve agent where a single droplet could kill you. It's a virus, so there are a lot of other...

    Nvidia announces 3080Ti & 3070Ti

    The current crop of AMD cards are fairly decent, esp. the 6800XT. It is nice that it has 16GB RAM. However, this is really their "first gen", and I never buy first generation of *anything*. I'll wait and see what they release 2nd and 3rd gen... Anywhere, here is a nice rundown of the current...

    Nvidia announces 3080Ti & 3070Ti

    Yeah, you have got to believe that they regret releasing the 3080 for $699 now. I think they were afraid of the (then) soon to be released AMD cards. I hope AMD keeps plugging away & increases the competition! More reviews with benchmarks are coming in, TL;DR: No more than a 12% increase in...

    Final thoughts on the TechLinked Star Citizen Video!

    NOICE! The TechLinked video is probably the fairest of all the "big" independent videos out there. It is unfortunate that he kind of repeated some of the old tropes about the game ("SCAM") but in a way, a naive viewer would have heard that before and would be wondering...addressing issues like...

    Nvidia announces 3080Ti & 3070Ti

    The announcement came at 10pm last night (Memorial Day in the US) so it silpped under the radar... Anyway, Nvidia announced their 3080Ti and 3070Ti video cards, apparently coming soon (like June 3rd soon, not SoonTM soon, ha ha...that is, if you can find one in stock)...
