Kind of like how Biden has moved a ton of industry back to the US away from China and Philippines and Taiwan? And found other rare earth deposits locally? And you think sand isn't found here?

Yep I'll just wait. So weird how you're salivating about the US failing.

I'm not struggling at all. You said covid deaths were overreported, I gave you a scholarly article proving otherwise... and in fact the opposite.

Reading comprehension. Get some, moron.

Your propaganda is useless here.

> ROFL they are egregious high profile examples of how the numbers were inflated and used to fear monger. Just saying that in aggregate they are under the margin of error is a baseless cope that you made up. You know this but continue to spread bullshit.

You don't know shit. Refrigeration semis backed up to the hospitals to hold the dead and people dying in the hallways were marked as covid, without a test, but only if there were significant reasons to believe that contributed to the death.

You're a waste of oxygen and a terrible excuse for a person... which I'm starting to doubt. How's putin's anus taste? I'd call you an asshat, but you're wearing someone else's ass.

"Unknown causes" during covid showed that, if anything, covid deaths were vastly underreported. How about that? A scholarly journal article full of the opposite of the shit coming out of your mouth.

We estimated COVID-19 unrecognized attributable deaths, from March 2020—April 2021, using all-cause deaths reported to NVSS by week and six age groups (0–17, 18–49, 50–64, 65–74, 75–84, and 85 years) for 50 states, New York City, and the District of Columbia using a linear time series regression model. Reported COVID-19 deaths were subtracted from all-cause deaths before applying the model. Weekly expected deaths, assuming no SARS-CoV-2 circulation and predicted all-cause deaths using SARS-CoV-2 weekly percent positive as a covariate were modelled by age group and including state as a random intercept. COVID-19–attributable unrecognized deaths were calculated for each state and age group by subtracting the expected all-cause deaths from the predicted deaths.
[...]
We estimated that 766,611 deaths attributable to COVID-19 occurred in the United States from March 8, 2020—May 29, 2021. Of these, 184,477 (24%) deaths were not documented on death certificates.

> Most of it was older unhealthy people.

And the rest were older, very healthy people made unhealthy by a virus.

> We locker down the entire country instead of just telling old people to stay home

In this case, "older people" is over 45 and comprised a significant amount of the workforce. Whining that you can't go to a movie because you don't care about the massive deaths from "older sickly people" is you in a nutshell. Not a monster yourself, but you clearly have followed fucking monsters in the past few years.

ROFL bullshit. Those lies didn't work when they were first made up, they don't work now either.

Packaging costs space and apple has been removing packaging since the first iphone. While I think $200 for 8gb is ridiculous, it's not an issue of simply snapping in a dimm.

One strain of influenza has gone extinct in the past 2 years, probably because of masking.

Wearing a mask to prevent harm in himself and others, is like wearing a super effective seatbelt. He's not wearing a seatbelt out of fear, but out of responsibility. You should look up the meaning of this "projection" word that escapes your vocabulary.

And smelling a gas through a mask, which masks do not remove, is different than a particle, which masks are designed to remove. Nice straw man, but fortunately people here are generally smart enough to laugh at you. Yeah, that's how dumb what you just said is. We are laughing.

The argument, supported by evidence, is cooking in iron pans reduces anemia. There are even "lucky fish" made out of iron you can add to your food.

So yeah you can get necessary minerals from cookware. What carbon compounds are you talking about?

BS. Modding requires a time investment and is volunteer work, not power tripping, for the good of a sub. People do power trip who are also mods, but that's like saying all sysops are power trippers.

Proof of work mining is terrible, and I've been beating this drum for over 10 years. Very much unlike steel, crypto mining produces nothing tangible or useful. A currency defined by fiat is fine, but this non-product is rebooting coal and other polluting energy sources without being regulated for its emissions, very much unlike steel.

The critics who compare it to steel are gaslighting. It's comparing something real to something fake and saying "we agree it's real, and we aren't responsible for the environmental side effects and fallout."

Edge is an fine browser. I just haven't wanted to spend the time to learn to customize it myself. Without those customizations, it's just an advertising platform and I'm the target.

I've spent enough time turning Firefox into serving me and not serving ads, that it is a massive hill to switch. But I don't have any problem with edge, or chrome per se.

Why didn't you choose pink guns or double barrel shotguns?

Because you certainly can't say "guns". You can't truthfully say pistols either. So what you're left with is cherry picking a stat.

Roll your eyes some more at being confronted with your bullshit.

That's not the smoking gun you think it is.

Government also mandates seatbelts and helmets, and has done so long before being involved in healthcare. They mandate buildings that don't fall down and pay for firefighters. They invest heavily in medical research.

The gov have a vested interest to keep their population reasonably safe, educated, and healthy. Welcome out of the third world. But sure, it must be a freedumb thing, right?

You did see it already from moderna and Pfizer.

This is taking that technology, the ability to create nearly arbitrary proteins, to the next incremental level.
