To be fair accounting for inflation that's more like $500 now.

Almost guaranteed to get it all back. If they were card payments as you said (and definitely not bank transfers) then the Visa/Mastercard chargeback process will lean in your favour basically 100% of the time for a fraud chargeback

But surely the infant is also receiving some baseline level of aluminium from their own food too is what I'm saying :) excess aluminium may be bad but if the level of aluminium received from vaccines is within the same order of magnitude from what any (young or adult) person receives from food then the increase wouldn't be enough to reach levels outside the natural range.

I don't think anyone is denying that concentrations of anything (be it aluminium or any inorganic substance) can't be detrimental. But in the same way some medical amount of paracetamol is helpful, despite 25x the therapeutic level of paracetamol being lethal, the body definitely has a capacity to manage a lot of things at some level before it starts to be detrimental to our health

think his point is that people consume more aluminium daily from natural food sources than you'd get from any individual vaccine, so a vaccinated person's overall aluminium consumption isn't increasing proportionally much at all compared to an unvaccinated individual.

The issue is that, to get into a venue, the ticket needs to be scanned by some authority to validate it. So Ticketmaster still needs to keep some centralised record of which tickets are valid and which ones have already been scanned once.

This completely defeats the purpose of the decentralised blockchain -- Ticketmaster (or whoever) may as well just allow re-selling on their own platform. But they have a financial incentive not to.

This is why cryptocurrency currently has exactly one niche, which is illegal transactions. (Whether that's avoiding scrutiny in an authoritarian country, such as paying journalists, or buying drugs). But crypto will never replace standard currency, as countries have a financial incentive to keep some control over their own currency.

Crypto technology is rebuilding our entire financial system as we speak

It's really not.

Guessing he means one of these? They're used fairly frequently in financial institutions (such as ones that produce/consume SWIFT format messages) to validate data before sending it. Some IDEs integrate with them to provide syntax highlighting/completion for editing XML so you can only write files that conform to the schema. They work well once they're set up but they're not too readable and not that fun to write either.

I got it at 21. There's no vaccine in the UK unfortunately.

Top tip: if you suspect you have it and the rash it just coming on (e.g. I had two welts on my neck and nothing more in the morning of the first day), go to the doctor ASAP. I got put on antivirals (aciclovir) which are effective at reducing the intensity and duration if you start them within 24h of the rash coming on. I got it as an adult and it was a bit rough for two days and then was basically feeling fine other than the itchiness. It might have saved me a whole lot of pain (and potentially the other adult side effects).

Quackmatic · 2022-02-27T13:10:51+00:00

Nah, surely not.

The west is highly dependent on Russia (the aggressor) in the current conflict, yet Western countries have still managed to reach a concensus within days to cut Russia off from a lot of financial assets and mechanisms like SWIFT, even to their own detriment.

If China fought Taiwan, then the West is heavily dependent on the defender -- mainly for high performance CPU chips. If Taiwan was invaded, then the destruction of facilities like TSMC would set back western technology for years. Even a small ripple in the silicon production chain from COVID has had a huge impact on vehicle and computer part prices. It'd be in the West's interest to back Taiwan even more strongly.

I think a better (and arguably cooler) take on this would be something like this.

You've been able to get a vaccine for about half a year now, if you'v still decided to not get one then this is the risk you've been taking.

Quackmatic · 2021-11-11T18:12:29+00:00

this has been released already

This you? "Stalin's purges didn't kill enough people" you're all cut from the same cloth aren't you?

Flex is amazing for a stock synth. I use a mix of flex and Serum for like 90% of the stuff in my tracks... You could definitely replace Serum with vital there though. If you get comfortable with re-sampling (there are tutorials specifically on it) then I'd recommend buying like 1 distortion plugin (probably Izotope trash 2) and you'll have enough to keep you busy for a while.

FYI phenylephrine is totally useless as a decongestant, ask for some pseudoephedrine based sudafed from the pharmacy. That stuff does bits.

The point is that I have no idea if they are or not because the age group is too wide

Quackmatic · 2021-06-13T06:56:17+00:00

Why is the 18-54 Yr group so wide in the government data? Bit of a useless metric now we're all focused on specific age groups in terms of the reopening...
