<p>As a local, most of it is actual locals, often bringing out of town friends, but the core is always locals.</p>

<p>You should come to Miami. Some people start the night at a normal club, go to a rave at Factory town, and meet the sunrise at Space, all in one night.</p>

<p>> It's idiotic. Just phone it in directly and go pick it up.<p>I don't have a car at the moment — am I just never supposed to eat outside of home-made food anymore? I've done that math many times, Ubering both ways to a restaurant is even dramatically more expensive than a delivery service.<p>If you don't live in an extremely walk-able place, sometimes it's the only option.</p>

<p>> Hard disagree. The idea that the machinery your life will depend on might be made with half-assed safety in mind is definitely not part of the deal.<p>It's definitely built in. The Apollo LM was .15mm thick aluminum, meaning almost any tiny object could've killed them.<p>The Space Shuttle flew with SSRB's that were solid-fuel and unstoppable when lit.<p>Columbia had 2 ejection seats, which were eventually taken out and not installed on any other shuttle.<p>Huge risk is inherently the deal with space travel, at least from its inception until now.</p>

<p>We used spreadsheets to manage offices -- there is about 15 separate offices -- complete data set (clients, analytics, call logs) and each sheet has many, many different formulas interconnecting all the sheets in the book.<p>We use Google Sheets, as we changed from Office at the beginning of this year, and 10-15 times a day my tab crashes on Chrome from just <i>existing</i>, let alone when trying to do any operations.<p>It's a mess, and I'd rather build a simple web app to replace it, but don't have  the time, approval, or financial resources to make the switch. So instead of letting me improve 100+ peoples daily workflows, we just suffer.<p>Go spreadsheets!</p>

<p>It does, but like I said most people just automatically buy new bonds, instead of actually removing the money from the Government.</p>

<p>It's both, although an extremely low percentage of people, IIRC, actually "cash out", most just roll the funds into a new bond once the previous one matures.</p>

<p>> Nobody's ditching the dollar. However Saudi Arabia and China significantly reduced their investment in US bonds lately. Also notice that the interests on US debt come dangerously close to the whole of US government revenue.<p>Revenue for 2023 was $4.4T[0], debt servicing cost was $624B. This year it's projected to be in the ~800s.<p>[0]: <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/216928/us-government-revenues-by-category/#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20the%20total%20revenues,payroll%20taxes%20and%20other%20taxes" rel="nofollow">https://www.statista.com/statistics/216928/us-government-rev...</a>.</p>

<p>First line of the study:<p>> Long COVID, as currently defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other authorities, is a symptomatic condition that has been shown to affect an estimated 10-30% of non-hospitalized patients after one infection.<p>Doesn't say 100%.</p>

<p>I had COVID five times over the past four years. Last three times barely any symptoms.<p>> It’s kind Wrong to say that Covid causes these things. Because if Covid alone caused these issues then everyone would have these issues after Infected.<p>However, this is not sound logic. As stated in the study, it causes these different issues in <i>some</i> percentage of cases, not all.</p>

<p>>  I consistently wear one in shops, especially shopping centres.<p>...I don't know how I feel about this, honestly. I respect everyone's  right to be as cautious how they want in their life and dress how they choose but after 4+ years I think those who haven't returned to not wearing masks 24/7 outside the home are being a little, uh -- I guess a word for it would be over-dramatic.</p>

<p>> COVID-19 can cause brain damage including loss of brain tissue, small blood vessels, and merged brain cells. In some patients, perhaps many, there is also damage to the immune system.<p>Now that, I did not know. Crazy how much damage COVID can actually do.</p>
