The Santa Clara study apparently recruited people off of facebook and didn't bother to ask them why they wanted to get tested. It also used a test that may have a fairly high false positive test.

Just got a facebook ad for a local study (by Stanford health) recruiting people for antibody tests to analyze the population, roommate is going as a result


Kinda feeling better about keeping the ads flowing, gotta be honest.

So it turns out the serum study done by Stanford Health wasn't using the new, better serum testing developed by Stanford Health

it doesn't matter the rates because we cant test for poo poo and dumbshit states/large companies will open up business too quickly with the new federal guidelines and we will spike again.

it seems like to me theres a non zero chance in the summer/fall we'll be dealing with a second wave of corona and 50 or 60% U6 unemployment.

the worst case scenario is the market getting propped up with trillions of dollars of bailouts and we dont learn anything from this. itll be like school shootings. it used to be a big deal now its a 2 hour blip of hot takes on twitter before we all move on. wildly raising the acceptable amount of deaths we deal with every year due to piss poor infrastructure and health care. the new normal.

also intel is better than AMD. prove me wrong. trying to keep this computer related.

the cake smashing fucks up the bride's makeup which is no joke a big deal because, even if she didn't spend an hour+ on it and possibly pay money on professionals for it +hair earlier that day, it's a massive dick move because that means she's gotta go clean up and redo it in the middle of the reception whilst wearing a expensive wedding dress and also it's an event where people are constantly taking pictures and, you know, humiliating your wife indelibly isn't a great way to start a marriage

for the groom the prep is like, a haircut earlier that week and then probably a fresh shave that morning that you did yourself, and your main worry is getting a handful of $500+ wedding cake smeared on your rented tux

no but they're essential for post development statistics

like technically I am meant to report for the centre for adverse recations management for every single thing like "dude took drug and got headache few hours later"

its how you get your 1/100,000 statistics. and they might not be related, headache may have been independent, but it's still valuable information.


but you're right, not for proving anything

i made some apple crumble

the sauce on top is reduced from the strained off water from stewing the apples in brown sugar and cinnamon - an apple brown sugar and cinnamon sauce

and that’s ice cream not soft serve just to be clear that I have taste. my kids really don’t know how good they got it 😂
