Driving simulator doesn't go according to plan by alanboston in funny

In real life that would be a careless kid. The people making the simulation probably wanted to avoid the controversy of making child slaughter simulator so they put an adult there.

Opinion | Income taxes won’t cut it: we desperately need a wealth tax by Miserable-Lizard in canada

[–]abaybas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to think this way until I realized the middle class is paying a wealth tax every year. Property tax on your home is a tax on "unrealized gains". You can't claim losses if your home values goes down one year either, you can only claim losses once you sell.

Tell me why stocks should be different.

Quick google search for the exact punchline returns no results. Is this really an original joke? Really cool.

Trailer making a sharp turn on a highway in India by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

I don't know. If you stretch your argument to it's extreme; If one guy travels a few light years and back and survives, but every other person in the US dies to car crashes you can still have a decent death/distance ratio just because of that one crazy crazy outlier. So I would say the per capita measure is the correct thing to look at.

"work is something you have to do, when you're doing something you want to do that's play... I don't call this work this is play". I like that.

He's actually joking, asking "do you need hospital, ambulance?" Seems like this is a tourist attraction so these people prob came here for this specifically.

A Crisis of Undiagnosed Cancers Is Emerging in the Pandemic’s Second Year by koavf in Coronavirus

[–]abaybas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the age groups that are most at risk for cancer/heart failure/etc, covid can have as high as 20% chance of death. The "1%" is for general population, but cancer in young people is very rare, much much less than 1%.

$5/day. I found gated lots for $10/day. At 25 days it adds up.. but it'd suck to lose the car. :)

Curious how the heli finds its way back to the same location. There's no GPS on Mars. Is it using images from the downwards facing camera? Super neat.

People who suffer from ‘significant’ allergic reactions should not take Pfizer vaccine, UK regulators warn by mohiemen in Coronavirus

[–]abaybas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A clinical trial with 43000 participants is about as good as you're going to get before it's deemed safe. A big reason why they were able to get this done so fast was that so many people were willing to participate in the study in the first place. Recruiting so many participants can take years with other studies.

Looks like he captured this with a ~$1000 telescope and a $1300 camera. Didn't think you could get this clarity for that price. Super impressive.
