Why am I not surprised...

@verretor It's the fault of those unvaccinated nurses because they didn't break into the hospital to continue to treat patients illegally without pay.

Those monsters.

By reneging on his promise that covid vaccination won't be mandatory the game theory that Biden is setting up is next time there's a new vaccine, you _really_ should not get it to be part of the resistance to ensure it doesn't become mandatory later.

A sad day for public health. Vaccines should be a medical decision. Not a political decision.

"Churches in New South Wales will be required to use a vaccination certificate system once 70 percent of the population have received at least two injections of the COVID vaccine."

Sounds like an incentive not to get vaccinated...

tl;dr: since covid vaccination temporarily suppresses the immune system, the overall net benefit of it may now be negative.

@benis Ah! Now I see. That's a very fitting name for a jump point. 😂

@benis Try it sometime! You're probably braver than you think! Good way to start is a professionally run, low-to-the-ground adventure course.

Signage.

It's perfectly legal for anyone to do the route. Heck, I was by myself and simply rented the equipment from a local shop for 35 CHF. They just asked what my previous experience was. No big deal.

Two base jumping platforms along the route.

Did a via ferrata today. The scariest part was a traverse across the side of a cliff. I'm good with heights. But with 600m (!) of nothing under me, I was frankly kinda scared and shaking a bit.

But objectively, that was very safe. Climbing gear works. The _actual_ most dangerous part was these innocent looking steps. Why? Because they're held in place by rebar stakes that could impale you if you tripped.

Your monkey brain is shit at assessing risk in a modern society. Think logically.

"British Airways lost 4 out of 4000 pilots in one month during mass vaccination.
Similarly, JetBlue lost 5 out of less than 4000.

Using reasonable assumptions, I compute p-values of 0.0140 and 0.0025:"

Interesting.

@waweic @alexbuzzbee Yup. Both series and parallel connections with batteries have these issues with bad cells bringing down the whole battery. Source: literally worked on a safety critical rechargable battery system when I did electronics design.

If you're gonna specify kilometers to three decimal points, why not just say meters?

Now fill out your local lockdown.

@verretor It's not discriminatory if everyone is oppressed equally.
