    Perspective is the right title. Just earlier today I had a flashback to when I was 10 and I found an awesome pocket calculator (i.e., remember the Seinfeld episode about the "tip calculator"?), which I thought was the coolest tech gadget ever. Now I'll upgrade from an iPhone 8 to and iPhone 11 and think "Hey, cool."

    If he committed a crime off campus, nobody would complain if he was disciplined. Is there any crime greater than advocating conservatism near a college campus?

    Hopefully for the better. I look forward to your perspective.

    The majority of Ukrainians reject the ideology of progressivism as well, we are just too full of ourselves to realize it. Putin knows this.

    I don't think we get by with $3T.

    @mik said in High Risk: I know one person who had the monoclonal antibodies and I've had experience with infusion centers. I think it is fine for those at high risk, but it is not a panacea due to both supply and process. Then ramp up production and remake the process. No, it's never going to be as easy as giving a shot. OTOH, training is very minimal for people who are familiar with starting IV's or performing phlebotomies. And there are a lot of people out there with that skill level.

    @george-k said in Health tip from the past: He also used it after being discharged, just to "stay awake." Mrs. George remembers those conversations. I just asked her. He continued up until the time we married, in 1977.

    @jon-nyc said in SSD vs Spinning Platters: Backup to cloud and don’t sweat the MTBF. Not an option for most private people if you have a lot of data to back up (say, a few TB of rare pr0n videos).

    She really needs to drop another series of Potterverse novels, maybe featuring Harry's son or daughter. How fun would it be, to make the people who criticize her, have to buy her books for their children?
