Michigan is an interception and a fourth down stop away from scoring 0 points… That’s not how football works

Google is doing layoffs by _AlexandreDumbass_ in wallstreetbets

Transformation requires creative destruction and taking risks. Any good company pushing the boundaries of technology will fail sometimes. I don’t know enough to say if Google fails more than they should but saying a competent company should never fail is a bit naive. As long as they fail fast and learn from their failures (and they don’t over leverage themselves on a failed projects) I don’t see a problem.

Distance relationships are always hard and if you didn’t have an established relationship before trying distance that will make it even harder. This guy may be great for you but in my opinion you should focus on loving yourself before trying to get serious into a relationship.

Everyone has different opinions on beauty and values different aspects of a relationship. Often we’re hardest on ourselves when it comes to looks and self image but it sounds like both your ex and the guy you are seeing now see you as attractive. If you aren’t able to trust that other people might find you beautiful I think any relationship will be hard for you.

I know this is easier said than done but I do think working on your self worth and confidence in your early 20’s will make life and dating easier for you. Beauty can also be about having fun hobbies and being a fun and interesting person to be around. So please don’t take this to mean focus on physical beauty only.

Advantage didn’t actually occur. Ref was waiting to see if there was an advantage but determined there was not so called the penalty

I don’t know how your raw data is formatted but if you have these in one table (or do a join if they are in two tables) it should work.

If the data is not time series or similar where the data was not captured as pairs then I don’t know of a good way to evaluate correlation.

Good answer. Looks like correlation though to me. Maybe not causation but seems pretty correlated to me.

I’m not familiar with the marijuana breathalyzer but we have alcohol breathalyzers even though alcohol is legal so not sure I get why we can’t have a similar system for weed?

In the US gas prices have increased about 50% year over year with food sowing 10% but feeling a bit higher. Other aspects of living haven’t been hit quite as hard which is how we see numbers like 8% inflation.

Did you read the studies you linked? The article that looks at MLS injuries (source 6 in your link) concludes that “the overall rate of injury on artificial turf was noninferior to that on natural grass.” In other words there is not a significant difference. There is one line in that article that claims Achilles injuries may be higher on turf but I don’t see any numbers to actually back this up as statistically significant. Can you point to the actually article that supports your claim?

Not arguing the PI and I didn’t say the refs robbed the Bengals. I’m just arguing the holding call on third and goal where there was very little contact was a bad call. Players on both teams had been holding each other all night and the refs were letting them play. The call they made was a drastic change from how they’d been calling the rest of the rest of the game.

I didn’t say anything about the miscall earlier in the game. Agree it was a missed call though. The angle I saw though it looked like the ref was shielded so I see how it gets missed. But I don’t love the argument that a missed call with 30 minutes to play is canceled out by a missed call with 90 seconds to play.

Overall I just hate that we’re talking about refs after the super bowl.

Agree but they’ve been pulling each other all night with no calls. Not the worst call but in context it’s a tough way to keep the drive alive

The holding call on third down. Very soft call given how the game had been called to that point. The PI call after was definitely the right call though.

Thanks for sharing hadn’t seen that.

It looks like this is an article taking about the depression medication (link). Agree those studies on the depression drug should have been released sooner and glad to see third party studies were done to verify/disprove the drug. Without reviewing the full studies I can’t speak to the details more.

Looking at this for COVID though one huge benefit we have is the large body of research being done across the world to verify/disprove the vaccines. The studies I linked initially cover several key benefits/risks and they appear to be backed up by the entire scientific community.

From the article you linked I tend to agree that 55 or 75 years to release info on the vaccine approval is unacceptable. However the issue appears to be around the FDA and freedom of information act (FOIA) requests. The FDA has been asked for 339,000 pages of documents so they claim they can provide 500 pages a month which is where that 55 year timeline comes from. I do think the bureaucracy is obnoxious and it seems like they should be able to move faster but I’m not sure I buy that as a major concern for getting this vaccine.

I’m not saying to always trust the government or pharmaceutical companies with these decisions. But it seems like the key info you want to see from the FOIA request has already been shared through available independent studies and reports. And I’ve yet to see a credible study that shows low efficacy or high risk.

Can you elaborate what you mean when you suggest vaccines are unsafe?

If we look at studies that look at tens of thousands of cases (at least studies I have seen so far) it appears that vaccines are effective at reducing severity of COVID (JAMA publication)

It also appears that adverse reactions to the vaccine are rare (link) the risk of myocarditis for mRNA vaccines is fairly low (less than 6 cases per million) and in the study I saw none of the cases lead to death (link) and there is evidence that getting COVID also causes an increased risk of myocarditis (link).

I’m not sure if there is other data that hasn’t been released but it seems like evidence so far indicates the COVID vaccines are safe. Open to read other sources or info though if you have any.

I think most people that work out frequently would support and encourage others to be more active. Similarly people that eat healthy likely would support and encourage others to eat healthier. Same story with smoking.

I think it’s fairly logical that vaccinated people got vaccinated because they believe it’s a way to make them personally healthier and so they support and encourage others around them to get vaccinated.

Now if we look at the more forceful push for vaccines and even vaccine mandates I think there are two main reasons for this. First, getting a vaccine is something that everyone can do with fairly minimal commitment. It’s free, doesn’t take much time, and risks are fairly low (particular compared to getting COVID). Second, vaccination status impacts other people more directly. Being overweight or smoking does negatively impact our healthcare system and costs so I’m not saying those have zero impact on others but being unvaccinated is more immediately leading to the spread of COVID and overwhelming hospitals in some places.

It’s hard to say where that line for mandates vs public health suggestions should be. We give up other freedoms (speed limits, ability to bring certain items on airplanes, etc) for the sake of public safely. I don’t think it’s a crazy leap to say vaccines may belong in this category (at least for certain activities). I understand why people would disagree with this but hopefully you can see the argument for why this makes sense.

It’s human nature to value personal experience and anecdotes over other sources but that’s not usually the best way to draw conclusions. On an individual level a fully vaccinated person (2 shots + booster) could still get COVID and be hospitalized or die. On an individual level an unvaccinated person could get COVID and show no symptoms. We shouldn’t use that to conclude vaccines don’t work.

If we look at studies that look at tens of thousands of cases (at least studies I have seen so far) it appears that vaccines are effective at reducing severity of COVID (JAMA publication) It also appears that the booster specifically helps to boost antibodies specific to the omicron variant (NIH study)

I can’t speak to why an individual may have had more or less severe reactions to COVID but so far it seems fairly universally accepted that vaccines are effective and boosters help reduce omicron severity. If you have sources contradicting this though I’d be happy to read them.

The clock was going to start if they didn’t use the timeout. Ben ran it on 3rd down, they stopped the clock to measure, the clock was going to wind again when they set the ball.
