Calling this love, especially given the documented history of your company, is gaslighting, please stop.

The lack of a proper societal response to the disease, and what that reveals about the fragile state of our civilization is what's responsible for severe pandemic-related anxiety.

Can you articulate what the specific benefits would be if the person providing obscure free tools via esoteric channels suddenly conformed to the behavioral norms your wishing for?

Thank you.

Very interested. Can you recommend any seminal works?

They also joyride at reckless speeds around the borough of Queens blaring sirens and driving the wrong way down one way streets for fun. That's at night, while ON duty.
Inebriated police driving off duty are also a significant problem in the outer boroughs and are rarely prosecuted in any meaningful way for doing so...
If nothing is done about the above, seems like there's little chance that parking in bike lanes or on sidewalks in front of lunch/snack spots is going to be addressed.

Of course! It's very difficult for the bourgeois to sleep when consumed by the knowledge that they're not living their most bourgeois life.

Space blankets are made of mylar, and are not porous.
Not sure why people here think that they don't block moisture and allow evaporative cooling...
chachachoney | 6 years ago | on: Officials: Dozens at WA nursing facility show possible coronavirus symptoms
>> I’ve heard symptoms relate less with age and more with viral load. The sicker other people are and the more frequently you come in contact with them, the more lethal it becomes.
Are you sure that's accurate? I'm not disputing that as viral load increases, so do symptoms, and ability to infect others.
However, I'm finding it hard to model a scenario in which a virus is already replicating in one's system and external exposure to comparitively infinitesimal amounts of the same virus has an impact. Do you have any actual evidence to present which backs up your claims?

They seem to be missing the point that the single greatest feature of text-mode interfaces is portability and not being tied to a single platform provider.
chachachoney | 6 years ago | on: Inside the Philip Morris campaign to 'normalize' a tobacco device
What you're presenting is not factual evidence that adults don't take up new nicotine habits, it's evidence to the contrary.
chachachoney | 6 years ago | on: Inside the Philip Morris campaign to 'normalize' a tobacco device
>> The fact is that adults don't take up a new nicotine habit
That's not a fact. There are plenty of smokers who acquire the habit as adults.
chachachoney | 6 years ago | on: Inside the Philip Morris campaign to 'normalize' a tobacco device
>> Second-hand smoke should be considered a form of battery, of which tobacco companies are accomplices and enablers.
That's hyperbolic to the point of seeming like farce.

Verification is necessary. Have you managed to invest in an endeavor which requires accredited investors while not actually meeting requirements yourself?
