You getting your links from pronghorn or something? TrutherTalk sure has some interesting views lol

LMFAO tucker carlson's news network is your source of truth for a straw man claim? This makes much more sense now

I mean, he's doing an excellent job of validating the findings from that study lol

Could you provide a specific example of your grievance? Or is it just one of those "you heard it from a friend" things? I don't recall ever hearing that it would prevent illness, perhaps serious illness

Lmfao dude I'm sorry you're still mad you had to get a shot

Vaccines don't prevent illness. They prevent death

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-024-00951-8 COVID-19 vaccine refusal is driven by deliberate ignorance and cognitive distortions Vaccine hesitancy was a major challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. A common but sometimes ineffective intervention to reduce vaccine hesitancy involves providing information on vaccine effectiveness, side effects, and related probabilities. Could biased processing of this information contribute to vaccine refusal? We examined the information inspection of 1200 U.S. participants with anti-vaccination, neutral, or pro-vaccination attitudes before they stated their willingness to accept eight different COVID-19 vaccines. All participants—particularly those who were anti-vaccination—frequently ignored some of the information. This deliberate ignorance, especially toward probabilities of extreme side effects, was a stronger predictor of vaccine refusal than typically investigated demographic variables. Computational modeling suggested that vaccine refusals among anti-vaccination participants were driven by ignoring even inspected information. In the neutral and pro-vaccination groups, vaccine refusal was driven by distorted processing of side effects and their probabilities. Our findings highlight the necessity for interventions tailored to individual information-processing tendencies.

Yeah ok from that video that looks like an explosive charge was embedded into the pagers at manufacture. Damn son that's a good way to target terrorists, not carpet bombing neighborhoods

jeeze that video outlining where this started is crazy and bring the receipts. There's a heartbreaking moment where the parents of the little boy who died spoke at the city meeting and said "I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60 year old white man. I bet you never thought anyone would saysomething so blunt, but if that guy killed my 11 year old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone."

Yes, fabs have massive water treatment capacities built in. They still consume a titanic amount of water through cooling and the water purification process as they distill their own 99.999999999999999999% pure water for their fab process. And yeah, the water access problems are only going to get worse. You are correct

I agree - that said, if anyone could figure out a way to do it it would be the IDF's security apparatus. Stuxnet and all that - they've got a history of finding software-exploitable hardware vulnerabilities. That is some crazy-ass footage though. Talk about precision targetting

WTF? Was it a supply chain attack by Israel or something? If there's some piece of code out there that can turn a pager holding only a LION battery into a grenade, then air travel is about to get a whole lot more burdensome.

I mean, Starship is one hell of a Spruce Goose

It beggars belief how many organizations (that I've seen firsthand) are using a literal excel sheet regression models to steer tens to hundreds of millions of investment every day and then selling it to their board as "machine learning". They also had the help of the russian government to weaponize facebook. CA was a major part of why brexit happened, and it's been a coup d'etat against the strength of Brittain as a nation and economic powerhouse without a shot fired.

Chip fabs use an astounding amount of water, and produce a dizzying amount of extremely toxic waste throughout all of the acid washes and photo resist layers. It takes a massive investment to build the front end and back end treatment so the municipal water is pure enough to use in process, and then clean of toxic chemicals enough to discharge or reuse

Oh wow wouldn't you know it, energy transfer partners made billions off of the 2021 freeze when Texans were freezing to death. Thank goodness we have such friendly local businesses out there enriching our local communities (with cancer!) https://www.texasobserver.org/after-kelcy-warrens-energy-transfer-partners-made-billions-from-the-deadly-texas-blackouts-he-gave-1-million-to-greg-abbott/ Also, lulz at Rex/portahouse asserting that a natgas pipeline operator isn't an O&G firm.

That and first responders, who frequently have to navigate that risk when responding to OD calls. I do wonder the feasibility of a vaccine to train your body to reject a molecule... If you could prevent an addicts brain from absorbing the opiate in the first place, it could really help to avoid a relapse and/or an OD.

JD Vance is such a racist sack of shit. A biracial black/Indian woman would only be eating fried chicken or curry? Good lord.

Some rare positive news in this area - UH is about to start clinical trials on a vaccine for fentanyl https://www.statesman.com/story/news/state/2024/09/06/fentanyl-vaccine-university-of-houston-texas-opioid-crisis/75085964007/ From the article: UH psychology and addictions researcher Colin Haile said clinical trials for a fentanyl vaccine would start next year. He noted that vaccines train the immune system to identify the opioid and block it from reaching the brain. "In a prototypical vaccine, you’re vaccinated with a piece of bacteria or virus you want to be protected against,” Haile told UH Magazine. “Your body recognizes it as foreign, then develops antibodies against that pathogen. What we’ve done here is (produced) a vaccine that (creates) antibodies against a chemical: fentanyl. We vaccinate, and the individual develops anti-fentanyl antibodies, which bind to the chemical and prevent it from getting to the brain, instead keeping it in the blood until it is eventually eliminated from the body.”

Dude you can't expect these O&G companies to do inspections and maintenance on their equipment! Do you know how much that costs??? Just ask centerpoint

Pipelines hold a shitton, local news said the pipe was was 1400PSI at the time of the rupture. And the rupture happened at one of the pipeline isolation valves so the fire is getting fed by two multi-mile mile segments of isolated 20" diameter pipe. Deer Park mayor said it's likely gonna burn through the night. Thank God the EPA has been stripped of its authority and power and we get to enjoy the free spicy air in H-town

Was it along the lines of what was shown in that American manufacturing doc a few years ago? Where the Chinese/Taiwanese work culture is just so completely different from American that entire workflows or management strategies are invalid
