  I agree with your post for the most part but “I think” are wasted words. Every statement is a something someone thinks unless they cite a source. Only include “I think” if you’re doubting your opinions.

  I see my mistake. I was overly focused on airborne data. Malaria hasn’t really changed for the better has it. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I stand corrected. Let me adjust my comment. Most viruses, the vast majority, are not deadly to humans. Those that are mutate to become less deadly to humans over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally 💯

  HIV won’t kill you. It weakens your immune system so other diseases kill you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… Cancer is not an organism with its own genes. Cancer is you baby, you’re just just getting out of control. Viruses sometimes start deadly but they almost always get less deadly over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What doesn't kill ya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they usually mutate to less deadly forms? Killing their host isn’t exactly a successful strategy.

  I know at least one dude who’s parents caught him trying to cut off his balls with garden sheers when he was young in the 90s. They stopped him and he went on to play football and marry a woman and all the stuff his folks wanted. I wonder how he’s doing now.

  I feel so validated. :). Star Trek Beyond… I tried twice and didn’t last through the ATV action scene either time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only watched the first episode of seasons 1 and 3 of Discovery I wanted to like it but I kept falling asleep. I tried a few times.

  I watched all of Strange New Worlds and only fell asleep during one episode which I rewatced later without trouble. I highly recommend SNW.

  PS: I’m under 50 and yes my metric for judgement when it comes to TV is “would I rather be sleeping?”

  I’ve seen that decal. Can you explain the caption? What does mind reading have to do with anything?

  Thanks for agreeing with me. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not asking to be rich.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  100% true. The absence of pain can feel like pleasure for a time. All senses including our emotional sense work by contrast.

  Anyone with rich friends knows that money doesn’t buy happiness. I have two friends who retired with $70 million in the bank 10 years ago. They are miserable. They spend money like mad trying to feel happy and it does not work. Meanwhile I work full time and have a fairly good salary for my area and feel happy more often than not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not asking to be rich.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. Money buys physical security. Happiness comes from within.

  Oh and everyone should have a fair wage and physical security.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piss, you're being filmed.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what country this is. The penalty for publishing piss videos without the right paperwork is probably much more severe than the penalty for pissing in an empty alley.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many keurigs would I need to daisy chain together to replace a water heater in an average house?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If your average house only has one person showering at a time an 18 kW 3.51 GPM Tankless Electric Water Heater would work. It would cost about $500.

  To replace that with Keurigs would take some work. They draw 900 to 1500 watts depending on model. So it would take between 20 and 12 Keurigs to match the power draw. I’m not sure what the inlet/outlet tubing diameters are but it seems some replacement parts labeled 1/4" so that’s half a gallon per minute max. You’d need 7 or 8 running in parallel to move enough water. Probably 21 900 watt Keurigs running in groups of 3 would come closest.

  I estimate about $2000 in Keurigs plus another few hundred dollars in fittings and a lot of time to reproduce a purpose built $500 water heater.

  And of course Keurigs break frequently and you’d definitely void any warranty.

  Good luck!

  I almost bought into Stadia but decided not to because I didn’t want to lose my games when it eventually shutdown. Today I find out I would have been fully refunded for everything. Darn! Now I wish I’d just trusted Google to do the right thing when they killed it and went ahead.
