No, they aren’t here(With me)!

Shorted 1 MES after low of session breached. Hopefully Asian Contagion + Taper Tantrum will not equal gammageddon. Edit: Oh, and the 3.5 trillion spending package, whatever its called, looks like it is going to get pared down. Edit again: Income tax concerns maybe weighing as well?

Looks like high quality wood flooring, but the damn picture is obstructed by someone!

Actually, I have the best roommates evah! The motley crew is us, on ET, in the politics section. Now let me give you an incentive to post some decent content here instead of your usual ad hominem attacks: If you post a reasonably written, thoughtful replay to a post or your own original...

Is that a terrazzo floor I see? Well painted cinderblock. Nice institutional feel. For future reference, one can often tell a lot about how high end a residence is through its wainscoting. Wood paneling is not considered “High end”, by the way. Just something to keep in mind should you...

Nine_Ender, are you drain bamaged? Quoting a post from almost 18 months ago from a poster who only posted once since late January? Congratulations on making THE dumbest post of the year on ET. Now since you’re here bringing up an 18 month old post, why don’t you at least try to understand...

I’ve actually posted on the negative effects of human population have been having on our biosphere, so yes, 20 billion humans is a big stretch. As it is, 7 billion is a strain. Did some research into Politifact, the Poynter Institute, Politifact’s author who wrote the article attempting to...

Oh it’s coming. Have an additional source. The source unwittingly supports my, as well as others who use math, in support of their positions. It is delicious. To be fair, it is not all bad news for the anti-statistics crowd.

Would it be fair to say that you wouldn’t be adverse to human population “Leveling” off to more “Sustainable” levels? Perhaps through reduced birth rates? As in reduced birth rates through controlled lowering of virility of the general population? Practical solution, really. Let people...

No need to make any concessions. The number are the numbers, to be either reconfirmed or amended. The underlying point is the risks associated with Covid are not dire and should be allowed to be assumed by people. Covid vaccine mandates are excessive government overreach for the benefit of...

You do know I’m using only CDC data, right? So you are basically arguing that CDC data is fake? Yes, I made additional, simple calculations to show the relative risk of a women in a specific age group who has no comorbilities, but any “Confidence intervals” are already within the CDC data...

When I make a statement, I most often support it either with facts or reasoning, for all to see. You still, even when specifically called out to provide a counter argument to my points, only come up with ad hominem attacks. To wit: Now, Nine_Ender, can you please tell us how these...

In the online “Arena” where ideas are contested, you seem ill prepared to do battle: Ad hominem attacks are not refuting evidence to the ideas presented. Further, the so called “Experts” you mentioned have been or are impeachable by their actions, conflicts of interests, and or political...

Ok, I’ll run the numbers again.

You are being critical without offering evidence. Then you are trying to defect with “Swollen balls”. You have a hidden agenda? Or is it simpler, that your ego cannot admit when you have been proven wrong? Covid mandate debates matter, as the long term health and relative virility of a...

You are my favorite poster on ET for your sometimes thought provoking posts, your humor, and your strong character. Further, I have great respect for you, as you have successfully raised a PhD daughter which you helped with her statistics. That said, you have some issues, my virtual friend. I...

I suggest you either reread my post, as I explained by methodology, or perform your own calculations. You want to be truly informed, don’t you?

Are these touching personal stories a valid reason for a person at low risk of death to get a Covid vaccine? An earlier story on this thread was about a 15 year old girl. A person with something like a one in a million chance of dying of Covid based on her sex and age, assuming no...

Thanks for reminding me. Some of my devices are Apple based and there is a new security update out now that addresses vulnerabilities related to hacking. Yes, I have the wherewithal to go dark, but what is the point of trying to find bailers behind the scenes when the ship has already sunk...

Called the transportation services company I am contracted to today for clarity on their policy on Covid mandates. The person I talked eventually admitted that she received many calls of concerned drivers over vaccine mandates. When pressed further for policy clarity, she mentioned an email by...
