  • After casting an open invite for people between the ages of 18 and 60 who previously had a mild case of COVID-19, Romano-Silva and colleagues in the preliminary study tested a group of 130 volunteers comprised mostly of women with a mean age of 38 years

    Doesn’t look like a balanced test group to me. Do they have any idea what might cause these cognitive deficits? Or is it just wrong self evaluation like this stupid vaccines cause autism study from 1990?

    Don’t take me wrong, COVID was horrible and all to real, but I don’t believe these 1 in 4 people with mild cases have long lasting cognitive deficits bullshit. At least not if it is “proven” with studies like this

    [email protected] explained above:

    The original post only gave half the explanation. It’s not that lead exists in general, it’s that lead exists within zircon crystals.

    Under normal circumstances that would be impossible, zircon crystals strongly reject lead atoms as they form. There’s no way to stuff lead into the crystal lattice in the quantity we find them there. But uranium and zircon go together just fine, we just have to wait for it to decay into lead. The trouble is it takes ~4.5 billion years for just half of those uranium atoms to turn into lead. So any zircon crystal we find with half as much lead as uranium must be roughly that old






  • Die Versicherung ist in der Beweispflicht. Problem bei mir war, dass das Schloss noch abgeschlossen da hing, was vermuten lässt, ich hätte das Schloss versehentlich nur über den Sattel gehangen. Da es Zeugen gab, hatte die Versicherung aber keine Wahl, als zu bezahlen.

    Wenn das Schloss aufgebrochen wurde, ist das denke ich weniger ein Problem. Polizei hatte ich direkt eingeschaltet, als der Diebstahl bemerkt wurde.

    Ob du ein neues Fahrrad kaufst und über die gleiche Versicherung weiter laufen lässt, oder dir das Geld ausbezahlen lässt, ist die überlassen.


  • Hab mir vor einiger Zeit ein e-Bike geholt und bei der Ammerländer Versicherung das rundum sorglos Paket für 13€ im Monat abgeschlossen. Nach zwei Wochen wurde mir das Bike auch direkt gestohlen. Die Versicherung hat mir erst unterstellt ich hätte es nicht richtig abgeschlossen, hat dann auf meinen Widerspruch hin direkt bezahlt. 5.000€

    Wichtig ist, dass du dich an die Vorgaben bezüglich Schloss und Abstellort hältst, das kann sonst schnell dazu führen, dass du auf den Kosten hängen bleibst.

    Ansonsten ist das aber eine super Sache und relativ erschwingliche Möglichkeit, um sich abzusichern.


  • “Allowed and supported” is something different then “its possible”. The article mentions some points that seemingly haven’t been “supported” in the past:

    • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
    • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
    • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
    • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

    Google also can’t:

    • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
    • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
    • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

    Thanks Mr. Epic Judge

    Wenn die Politik nicht gut genug verkauft wird, endet das darin, dass manche Leute denken diese sei Scheisse. Widerlegt hast du mit deiner Aussage gar nix, eher noch bestätigt.

    Aber da du ja so gut im Thema bist, werd’ doch mal konkret. Was genau findest du denn so “schlecht”?





  • Give it two more years and brave will stop backporting manifestv2, then you have even less options to avoid google deciding which content needs to be shoved in your face.

    I’m using Firefox since forever. In the past I have checked a few times if a swap to chromium is worth it. It never was.

    I really don’t understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.


  • My tipp: don’t try to analyze and think to much about yourself. It’s like thinking about the way you walk and suddenly walking feels strange and forced. You can’t change who you are, don’t even try it.

    Instead try to focus on her, everyone loves a good, active listener. You are there to get to know her anyway, aren’t you?

    One thing you should take to your heart. Finding a good match isn’t an easy task, don’t go on a date expecting her to be the one. Eventually you will get disappointed or rejected, that is totally normal and nothing to worry about. It just means you and her weren’t a good fit.

    And don’t try to act in a way thats untypical for you just to impress her. You want her to get to know the real you, not the impression of someone you think she would like.

    Think about it like a casual date without any expectations is the best you can do



  • It’s fucking crazy. I see it like that: capitalism is king at maximizing profits. That’s what capitalism is good at. Capitalism is a tool.

    I hate it when someone expects big corporations to act morally. That’s none of its business. Again, capitalism is just a tool that does one thing: maximizing profit. Just like the hammer is not at fault if you hit your thumb the corporations aren’t at fault if their profit maximizing does more harm then good.

    We, the people, the benficianries of why capitalism even exists, are responsible to use that tool the right way in the right situations.

    And how do we do that? By creating rules and laws that restrict the ways profit can be maximized in situations where it is not at our best interest.

    Now please tell me:

    Whose fucking idea was it to allow corporations to hire a few dozen lobbyists that professionally influence politicians?

    Why should a corporation be allowed to sponsor the election of a person? Don’t you think this is already way too much influence for the cancer that capitalism can be if allowed to grow unconditionally at the wrong places?

    Please stop letting immoral corporations influence the rules they need to obey for some irrelevant profit gains that fuck us all over big time in the long run! (fracking anyone?)

    The market will sort itself out, or so they say. Let’s be brave and create rules that help us tackle the myriad of problems we all experience right now (global warming, housing crises, health insurance, gun violance…) and watch in awe how the corporations manage to find ways to make a profit while still benefiting us as a whole.

    That’s how you use a tool!

    Peace out

    P.S.: Critique at my train of thoughts or writing style is appreciated. I’m rather stoned right now and english isn’t my first language, so please be gentle.
