Oh interesting. Thanks! We must have assumed it was client-side and gave up.

I'm referring to CS 1.2 or so, back in ~2002.

The thing I remember was that my friend's graphics card had a global transparency setting built in (AKA a wall-hack mode lol). You could see other players come into view as soon as the came into an area that was rendered. Then a CS patch came out and the players weren't visible until very shortly before they would become visible had we not had the uhh... transparency mode on haha.

The newer mac version was actually showing huge promise. It was a couple of versions away from being a great choice as primary IDE. That said, I do understand why they axed it. The market would have been tiny for all that investment.

IIRC Counter-Strike had it back in ~2002.

Once again, having vitamin D levels within the recommended range correlates with many aspects of _general health_. It does not have any _specific_ influence on influenza viruses. Not only is it not specific, but taking vitamin D doesn't directly do anything except raise one's existing vitamin D levels.

If you don't understand the difference between A) the general health benefits of not being deficient in a vitamin/mineral/amino-acid/etc., and B) a _specific_ vaccine's effects against a _specific_ pathogen (or group of pathogens), I don't know what else to tell you.

> By contrast, normalizing vitamin D levels, eating healthier (more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, etc), achieving a healthy weight, sleeping better, having less stress, having positive social interactions, and so on all have been shown to boost the immune system and reduce the burden of most infectious disease -- along with reducing the economic burden of many other health issues resulting from "diabesity" and also reducing many costly mental issues like depression.

Those are things everyone should be doing for their general health. Citing general health recommendations for a specific illness would be redundant. In other words, not a conspiracy.

Furthermore, general good health does not prevent someone from catching a virus, nor getting ill from it. Of course it may diminish both the likelihood of catching it and the severity of the resulting illness, but, again, the point of the sentence you quote is that a _specific_ tool for mitigating the scale and severity of a _specific_ contagion from the health care system's perspective is effective.

I certainly hope so. Although using geofencing around private roads/tracks to determine where the aggressive maneuvers are being used would be most fair.

Like if someone's driving metrics are totally smooth and predictable on public roads, but then they go nuts on a race track, a lower premium makes sense.

Now that I type that out, how does car insurance work while driving on a private race track?

The point you're missing is that the risk-taking & skill-honing that aggressive drivers perform is being done on public roads with other drivers who just want to commute safely.

Your arguments are about pilots training in controlled conditions that don't put others at unnecessary, non-consensual risk.

I mean if you don't think Tesla already records everything you do in your Tesla car, I don't know what to say.

That's good though? I'd love for my premium to not subsidize the payouts to parties involved in crashes caused by aggressive drivers.

LOL the downvote. This site is entertaining.

No thanks. You're obviously brainwashed by particular narratives, and have only absorbed one perspective of the facts that you were already emotionally dependent on. Not at all unusual on this topic.

Lol shh, that much context isn't part of the narrative.

You are implying that the context that matters is equal to the context where Israel hasn't done anything wrong. If you don't know you're doing that, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you're used to entertaining a much less observant audience on this topic.

I mean... yes... if you limit any context by excluding important elements of the context the takeaways will be different.

Mike discusses at greater length in other videos.

Are you implying that educated white women should be having more kids so that they'll stop or slow the end of a white majority America?

I just want to point out that 4 years is not a long time in the context of consistency guarantees of a database engine.

I have listened to Mongo evangelists a few times despite my skepticism and been burned every time. Mongo is way oversold, IMO.

I feel you are exemplifying the typical conspiratorial thinking patterns. You might as well have asked me to concede based on the fact that there are technically similarities between vaccine mandates and the Yellow Badge. I mean you must be insane not to recognize how they're basically the same thing, right? /s

I live in Toronto and have been to Ottawa many times, as well as tons of other Canadian and American cities. Downtown cores have some middle class folks in them, usually in somewhat luxurious condo buildings. But in no way does the interpretation of "where all the rich Canadians live" being downtown Ottawa make any sense.

The point absolutely does not stand. You've retreated to "relative affluence". For your point to stand, it would also have to be a given that the acceptability of noise pollution correlates with how rich the population is. That doesn't stand either.

[flagged]

So no, they didn't.

You can tell when people have absolutely no idea what they're talking about when they think downtown cores are where rich people live.

Oh I see. You're crazy.

Sorry are you trying to imply that the way various levels of US governments responded to recent left-wing protests has some conspiratorial parallel to the way the Canadian federal government responded to a right wing protest?

The city of Ottawa's law enforcement officers were ordered to remove the protesters weeks before the federal government stepped in. The cops basically just didn't do their job. The emergency act was not invoked lightly.

They were blowing freight truck horns at all hours of the day and night. Tens of thousands of people's lives and sleep were disrupted for weeks on end. 90% of the stuff they were protesting literally wasn't real.

Obviously there is a fine line between legitimate, legal protest and it should be taken very seriously. IMO that particular protest pushed that line too hard.

The moments spent crunching the numbers that say if it's going to hit us must be pretty intense.
