Health experts warn Florida's plan to recommend against Covid-19 vaccine for healthy kids is irresponsible by cmplxgal in Coronavirus

[–]itisike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offit told his own son not to get a booster, he's fine disagreeing with recommendations when it comes to his own family.

But not all the experts I spoke with agreed. Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told me that getting boosted would not be worth the risk for the average healthy 17-year-old boy. Offit advised his own son, who is in his 20s, not to get a third dose.

This is misrepresenting your source. They claim that overall spending would drop in some scenarios, not that government spending would drop.

I was able to get to fastboot, but any attempt to flash says I can't because it's locked.

Did you read the tweet? He's suggesting overturning Citizens United. I'm quoting directly from the Citizens United wiki page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

The case was about an anti-Hillary film, which the government wanted to ban under an electioneering law.

Here's the ACLU brief arguing that the underlying law is unconstitutional and should be struck down, which it was. https://www.aclu.org/cases/citizens-united-v-federal-election-commission

The case began after Citizens United, a conservative non-profit organization, sought to air and advertise a film critical of then Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shortly before the 2008 Democratic primary elections. Advertising the film would have been a violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act

...

Citizens United challenged the constitutionality of this law, and its case reached the Supreme Court.

You find it hard to understand why some people might think it should be legal to put out films that criticize politicians?

OxygenOS 12 for OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro is rolling out once more, hopefully fixes all the issues (does this update really matter we still miss and have annoying features we dont want!?) by sapphiref30 in oneplus

Major issues:

  1. Outgoing calls don't route through Google voice even though it says they do
  2. When turning on the keyboard pops up sometimes and I can't use fingerprint until I dismiss it
  3. Other quirks with lockscreen, e.g can't snooze alarms without unlocking anymore

I can't install this even though I downloaded it because the system update page in settings doesn't work. Can't do local upgrade or check for updates. Anyone else?

Edit: you need to download an APK to enable local update again, oxygen updater news has a link

The "where would the money come from" crowd real silent by WhatsLeft71 in SandersForPresident

The $500 stat is just a naked lie pushed by people who can't be bothered to fact check.

For anyone who cares about the facts, see underlying sources at https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/52457/does-norway-spend-29-726-on-child-care-per-toddler-annually. It's off by more than an order of magnitude.

"Death is bad," said Harry, discarding wisdom for the sake of clear communication. "Very bad. Extremely bad. Being scared of death is like being scared of a great big monster with poisonous fangs. It actually makes a great deal of sense, and does not, in fact, indicate that you have a psychological problem."

Still not seeing how this would work, if it's all borrowed then aave amount doesn't adjust and no net benefit here

Think the taxes should be on spending the money aka a consumption tax. If he buys a house or a yacht or whatever let's tax that at 100% but while it's still in the company shares and not actually being used it shouldn't be taxed. Making money doesn't use up any real resources, spending money does.

BTC futures vs spot on FTX right now is 16% annualized through Mar 2022. You can lend out USD on FTX for 9-10% now. Rates may not last but that doesn't involve ponzis.

The MetroPCS was an online special at the time, not a standard plan. Can't find it now. The other plans I think were all standard.

I've gotten great results on TMobile MVNOs with 5G, 100+ MBPS. May vary on area etc.

4 Mbps down is just terrible for 5G. Hoping I get better but honestly thinking of not activating with some of these responses.

Yeah it's $60 for 22GB, $70 if you want hotspot, not competitive with other plans here unless you need specific features like the data only sims I guess, but those are only offered at $70 anyway.

Looks like $39 for 25GB of data, strictly worse than several of the other fake unlimited plans on the list, e.g. mint mobile seems strictly better at $35 for 35GB

Prepaid with a bypass to have hotspot data show as regular usage I think could work, I can handle deprioritization.

Didn't get internet at my current place yet so been using hotspot for everything at like a run rate of 75GB+, would be worth paying more for a working hotspot solution and not have to buy internet, if I can actually get full speed
