  1. It is apocryphal that Einstein would have iterated that widely-spread "truism". He was far too smart to have said such a thing: doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results, was the principle behind the battering ram.

  2. First 3 jabs worked perfectly for me. Re determination of recommending a 4th jab was made by CDC, not by the media

  3. No. People who were always the most vulnerable tended to get more fully vaccinated. The population at large still gets covid, Some among them who had been vaccinated and/or previously infected: because the virus mutates rapidly. People who were highly vulnerable, remain highly vulnerable.

  4. A multi-millionaire who lives in his own bubble manages not to get infected while others are doing their best to make conditions safe for him... yeah, we should all do that.

  5. Belarus armed forces are anemic and not highly reliable to support the regime. Involving them in Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine might spell the end of Lukashenko's own hold on power.

  6. That likely would be better than having no donated tanks. Ukrainian service personnel have repeatedly amazed foreign observers by how well they have adapted to handling unfamiliar equipment. Slava Ukraini!

  7. Or maybe not. Anally-derived "statistics" can vary at will.

  8. Deniers are pushing vaccinazinihilipilification

  9. The definition of stupidity is saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Cumulative effects do not revert to zero. Castles have been stormed with the use of battering rams.

  10.  @wocky7940  Who the hell are Malone and Reardon?

  11. No. Those who need more vaccinations get more vaccinations, however some still get infected. It takes a somewhat sophisticated understanding of statistics to wrap your mind around this pandemic. Don't blow a fuse, and go about your daily life,

  12. That is moronic, but a lot more fun than other anti-vax stupidity spread all over the Web.

  13. 03:30 such a beautiful young woman might dream of her perfect wedding instead of worrying about soldiers sent into combat. To Hell with this war, to Hell with Russia.

  14. Why not just not hold it?

  15. That's been a topic of late. There are experts who hold that the Abrams is a better tank than the Leopard 2, but yet concede that the M1 is very demanding in terms of maintenance, and is very thirsty. Leo2 is more fuel-efficient, and needs fewer technicians to keep it going.

  16.  @zsuira  Early symptoms associated with the common cold often can instead be the precursors to worse from a severe disease. What's your point, if any?

  17.  @2risquejunior538  Is he a multi-millionaire? Unless he blew his generous prize money from many big-money tournaments and endorsements: Yes. Does he live in his own bubble? Yes Are others doing their best to make conditions safe for him? Yes. What the flux is your problem, 2risque Junior ?

  18. It has.

  19.  @wocky7940  You'd kick yourself for not having studied the immunology of rabies.

  20.  @davemarshall561  It has. We don't teach ,most of the population how to analyze statistics, alas.

  21. I have never had a fatal illness!

  22.  @skozzi2845  They haven't mentioned that yet because it is false.

  23. 80 combat-ready Leos can be a potent force; better than not having them.
