You know there’s a seek bar on youtube videos?

Like we did before: We talk with Etonians.

Notably, he’s also the inventor of the magneto-turboencabulator.

In semi-related news, the defences around the German Constitutional Court were just reinforced.

“Life means life, no exceptions” is against the ECHR, in particular Article 3.

It was actually Mercury, and Einstein himself proposed it.

Another one was GPS: They had prepared two sets of maths for the satellites, Newtonian and relativistic. They started operating them with the Newtonian model, and the satellites went out of sync, nothing really worked. Then they flipped the switch to relativistic, and everything worked flawlessly.

Even before that they took an atomic clock, put it on a plane, and flew it around the earth to later compare to one that stayed on earth. They differed by the expected fraction of a fraction of a millisecond.

Neither of those two could be done right when Einstein proposed relativity, but experiments like that could already be envisioned, “move a sufficiently precise clock sufficiently fast and compare it to a stationary one” is kind of a no-brainer. That’s not the case with string theory, noone has any idea how to test any of it.

OTOH, physics shouldn’t feel bad about that stuff. E.g. number theory is notorious for results which are considered useless even by the people formulating them, only for an application to appear a century or two later.

Finally, a comparison which doesn’t fall flat on its face like much of the rest of this thread. The intensity in Cambodia was extreme, it was under four years and 1.5 to three million killed, tortured, experimented upon, you name it. Even with everything else assumed equal the Assads were way slower at doing things.

You missed the industrial-scale torture part. There’s been some instances of torture, yes, but nothing even close to what happened in Syria in matters of both scale and systematics. The IDF, at large, has always been more interested in killing people than pure, unadulterated, sadism.

You’re rightfully enraged about the plight of the Palestinians, now don’t turn around and deny the plight of Syrians by drawing false equivalences. If you want to draw an equivalence for the Syrian situation try North Korea.

Have they been in a prison where they were regularly and systematically tortured, and that for decades, before they ended up in those bags?

Not even a fucking month has passed and people with .ml accounts are already trivialising Assad. Tankies gotta stick to their own, I guess.

Servo should be vastly more advanced and it’s nowhere near ready.

Sure it makes sense: Pretty much noone, but you, is going to buy them, and stocking shelves and warehouses with product costs money. All that unmoved stock would make them more expensive, making even more people not buy them. It’s inefficient.

the M.2 form factor drives that everyone is hyperfixated on for some reason

The reason is transfer speeds. SATA is slow, M.2 is a direct PCIe link. And SSDs can saturate it, at least in bursts. Doubling the capacity of a 2.5" SSD is going to double its price as you need twice as many chips, there’s not really a market for 500 buck SATA SSDs, you’re looking for U.2 / U.3 ones. Yes, they’re quite a bit more expensive per TB but look at the difference in TBW to consumer SSDs.

If you’re a consumer and want a data grave, buy spinning platters. Or even a tape drive. You neither want, nor need, a high-capacity SSD.

Also you can always RAID them up.

so you admit you have no idea, and then make a definitive statement to NOT get vaccinated.

I admitted that I have no idea about the epidemiological details, then made a definite statement about what the STIKO said. Which I did by quoting them, verbatim.

to use your own argument: IF fresh-ups had negative effects, they would say so in plain words.

It is not the job of the STIKO to not recommend vaccinations. They either recommend or don’t recommend, but they never recommend not to, that’s the job of your doctor, comparing your medical state/history against counterindications.

Turkish documents, and Erdogan himself, admit 13806 dead and 11683 displaced. And no it wasn’t all a single aircraft operation, it’s just that his daughter was a pilot and personally dropped bombs. Not that she, personally, killed all the Kurds that died.

The STIKO does not make recommendations for the US, but Germany.

the guidelines say protections last at least 12 months,

yes.

after which you should still get a fresh-up.

No.

If they had data showing that base immunity has a drop-off, by date, effectiveness etc, that would warrant fresh-ups they would say, in very plain words, that you should get a fresh-up.

But they don’t:

Deshalb empfiehlt die STIKO für besonders gefährdete Personengruppen eine jährliche Auffrischimpfung, die im Herbst verabreicht werden soll.

For endangered groups. Not the general population. They know, for sure, that it lasts at least 12 months, but they might have good reason to believe that it lasts indefinitely, that the drop-off is not worth the risk for the general population, or some such. Ask a specialist. I’m not one, but I can read, without turning to all caps. Maybe you should read the whole thing with a cooler head.

You’re arguing semantics. During the whole conversation I assumed that you have base immunity, and thus did not mention it, just as I didn’t mention various other details about the recommendations.

The point still stands: The STIKO does not recommend yearly fresh-ups for people who have base immunity. You still got a fresh-up. I didn’t. Thus, I followed their recommendations, you didn’t.

Sure conflict becomes unavoidable if you’re brutally repressing your minorities. The minorities don’t tend to like that. The whole idea to found Turkey as a nation state while simultaneously claiming non-Turkish inhabited territories was bound to lead to conflict, and yes that’s all Atatürk. Small minorities can be incorporated in such a project, kinda like mascots, larger ones? Forget it. They must go, or the project must go. Turkey opted for the former.

Ataturk did nothing wrong.

How about his (adopted) daughter, personally bombing civilians? Tens of thousands massacred, and you stand here and say “nothing wrong”? Nothing, whatsoever? Not even a tiny bit?

Here’s what I wrote, emphasis added:

The STIKO recommends whatever has the lowest number of people dying. During the pandemic, that was people getting vaccinated, now, it’s not (as long as you have base immunity).

If you’re getting vaccinated now it’s presumably a yearly fresh-up shot, not for base immunity. If that wasn’t the case, if you only got your base immunity this year the reason for the side-eye was probably because you didn’t get vaccinated back then.

Also, learn to read: You need three contacts with the virus or vaccine, not one. If you never got ill, you need three shots, if you only got ill once, you need two. Which, just for the record, I got (three, that is). You confuse me, someone who follows STIKO recommendations and thus medicinal best practice, with an anti-vaxer.
